Assessment Methods of Territorial Differentiation with Regard to Ecological Situation in the Cities and Region of Russia.

Abstract

There was offered integral assessment method of ecological situation in Russian cities. There was proposed a man-made impact study method in the cities taking into account not only integral index, but pollutions in existing system of settlement. It is important research task, because the main social and environmental consequences of territorial economic structure transformation could be estimate by means of quantity of people living in conditions of different pollution degrees. There was made a typology of 1100 Russian cities by the ratio of internal pollution potential and “induced” pollution from other cities, calculated as potential of man-made impact field. There were given priority measures on the improvement of ecological situation in different types of cities and regions.
