Quantitative assessment of infrastructure facilities availability in biosphere-compatible city functions implementation

Abstract

Abstract The concept of infrastructure facilities availability for population within the implementation of biosphere-compatible city functions is defined. The classification of city functions availability on the basis of territorial, time-dependent and individual characteristics is presented. The algorithm for the assessment of infrastructure facilities availability by means of comparing actual and specified indices is provided in the article. The quantitative implementation of the developed method using the example of one of the residential areas of the city of Orel is provided. The proposed method for the assessment of infrastructure facilities availability enables analyzing the state of the area and the viability of urban development solutions and feasibility of area redevelopment. The quantitative distribution of the integrated index of availability of infrastructure facilities and further assessment of the implementability of functions of a biosphere-compatible city enables studying urban development design solutions and innovation of urban development encouraging proper human development and increasing human potential.
