Abstract

Summary

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the need to perform monitoring the urban green space (UGS) and built-up areas ratio within the limits of Kyiv as a future compact and green city. This means that monitoring should be done for the timely detection of undesirable changes of the UGS-to-built-up area ratio rather than for the traditional fixation of decreasing or increasing UGS areas in a particular district of the city. To achieve the goal, we drew up a map of the spatial distribution of UGS and the built-up area and found that in some Kyiv districts this ratio is highly violated in favour of high-density development. We also determined the extent to which Kyiv infrastructure meets the key criteria of environmental comfort of compact and green cities. The basic indicators were chosen as follows: average population density, building coverage ratio, green coverage ratio, atmosphere emissions from stationary pollution sources. Using estimation scales, we ranked Kyiv districts by their living comfort characteristics. Three districts located in the city centre have the lowest living comfort rating. They are characterized by the biggest population and development density, high atmospheric air pollution and the lowest share of UGS as compared to other Kyiv districts. Planning activities aimed at smoothing the differences between the UGS-to-built-up area ratio to improve the level of urban living comfort, among other things, have to be built on the results of integrated monitoring. Such monitoring foresees the identification of problematic locations, use of GIS technologies, space and aerial photography with unmanned aerial vehicles jointly with other conventional ground-based observation methods.
