Abstract
Joint scientific research with the National Reserve “Pechersk Lavra” on the control and monitoring of slope-related risks in the Pechersk Lavra territory has been continued to prevent negative impacts on the preservation of the architectural and archaeological monuments of the reserve. Based on structural and morphometric analysis and field observations, a comprehensive assessment of the ecological and geological state of the territory was made. The most vulnerable areas subject to destruction and subject to appropriate reinforcement were identified. All locations of water and gravity processes were calculated in real conditions and slope angle maps were created. These data helped to trace the evolution of the palaeo-relief under the influence of exogenous and endogenous processes. This made it possible to establish a detailed transformation of the slopes, taking into account all the details of the territory, especially in the built-up areas of Lavra Ravine, Near and Far Caves. The main natural and anthropogenic factors disrupting slope stability were identified. The research demonstrated the effectiveness of using integrated morphostructural and geological, geomorphological methods for such territories.
