Theoretical Principles and Methodical Approaches to Urban Area Zoning by Geoecological Restrictions

Abstract

The need to take into account the geoecological restrictions in planning and designing urban territories is considered. Geoecological restrictions are analyzed and systematized. The criterion for assessing the priority of restrictions is the degree of their hazard for various recipients. An algorithm of a procedure for such assessment is given. Approaches to zoning by geoecological restrictions for newly developed and reorganized territories are proposed. Successive analysis and compilation of maps are considered. The map of zoning an urbanized territory by geoecological restrictions and its use for designing will facilitate the formation of an environment favorable for human activity and sustainable development of urban territories.
