Analysis of the renovation area to create a concept for its integrated development

Abstract

Introduction. Integrated territorial development is one of the key areas in modern urban planning, which main goals are to ensure the sustainable development of cities and settlements and to create a high-quality environment and favorable conditions for people’s livelihoods. The mechanisms of integrated territorial development make it possible to approach the renewal of urban development in a comprehensive manner and provide territories with the necessary infrastructure.Materials and Methods. Investment projects of integrated territorial development need a pre-project analysis in order to identify the most optimal strategies of its redevelopment and renovation. The pre-project analysis should take into account not only the basic comprehensive assessment indicators, but also identify potential target audience and the main stakeholders of the project needs, which will further increase its investment attractiveness. The pre–project assessment should include factors for evaluation the site according to a set of criteria - urban planning, environmental and economic. The article provides a methodology for the territory assessment by a set of factors that take into account the listed criteria. The research was carried out using the methodology of a systematic approach to the scientific problem of improving the urbanized territories environment quality, methods of subject-logical and comparative analysis, and geoinformation technologies.Results. Pre-project analysis results of the integrated territorial development area located in the city of Rostov-on-Don are considered in order to identify the most optimal approaches to its further use. The main characteristics of the territory obtained with the help of regulatory and legal documentation, environmental and geological conditions analyzed using a geoinformation system, and economic evaluation criterion, including requests from the intended target audience of the project, are presented.Discussion and Conclusions. The proposed methodology makes it possible to identify the most optimal ways for the study area development through a systematic approach to the integrated territorial development problem, taking into account the directions of city urban development and the investors and territory future users interests.
