MODERN SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES AS A TOOL FOR SOLVING ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF THE FORMATION OF URBAN SPACES

Abstract

Background: The expediency of the study lies in the need to solve environmental issues in the cities of Ukraine by arranging greened open spaces. In the post-war period, this problem will become particularly acute due to the significant destruction of all elements of the urban space. To successfully solve a given problem, it is necessary to rely on modern scientific approaches. For the fruitful use of the accumulated scientific experience, it is necessary to conduct its analysis and systematization in the context of the design and practical needs of the urban planning sphere of Ukraine in the post-war period. Therefore, the purpose of this work is the analysis of current scientific assets on solving environmental problems of the city through the formation of urban open spaces and their implementation in the urban planning scientific and practical sphere of Ukraine. Methods: The research methodology was based on the use of methods of critical and comparative analysis of the content of scientific sources, documents of the legislative and regulatory framework, photographic materials, as well as terminological analysis of a number of definitions. Results: The analysis of a number of the main state regulatory documents on urban planning in the aspect of targeting the solution of environmental problems and ensuring the sustainable development of the cities of Ukraine revealed their imperfection.. Analysis of modern scientific approaches to solving environmental problems at the level of city formation showed that most of them are based on concepts that are similar in content and are aimed at harmonizing the interaction of anthropogenic (technogenic) and natural subsystems of the city. This ensures the solution of not only ecological, but also social and economic tasks of its functioning. Conclusions: In order to develop an effective urban planning platform for the formation of green open spaces in the cities of Ukraine in the context of sustainable development and overcoming modern environmental challenges, it is necessary to approve an updated conceptual and terminological apparatus that takes into account modern global trends in the formation of urban spaces. It is expedient to introduce the concepts of "ecological framework" and "landscape-ecological infrastructure of the city" into the normative and legislative framework of Ukraine as basic concepts in the formation of open spaces of the city, as well as an important component of its sustainable development.
