Comprehensive Study

The present work is aimed at studying the waste management system of municipal construction and utility complexes in order to identify the potential application of waste materials in the form of secondary resources while simultaneously reducing their negative impact on the environment. The study is based on a set of research methods essentially structured by system analysis. Materials of domestic and foreign studies on the problems of ensuring environmental safety in the construction and utility complex, treatment and maximum use of secondary resources are generalised and systematised. Additionally, the results of the authors’ research in the field of evaluating the efficiency of using waste resource potentials are presented. The obtained results indicate the high level of resource value for municipal solid and construction wastes. A set of scientific and methodological approaches for assessing the resource potentials of such wastes is proposed. Results obtained using mathematical statistics methods indicate the types of waste under consideration to be classifiable as homogeneous according to a number of characteristics. Factors impeding the environmental safety of municipal services are identified along with the potential for reutilising waste resources obtained from the construction and util-ity complexes in the wider economy. The present work demonstrates the relevance of a system for in-tegrating secondary resources, with their maximum involvement in economic turnover to ensure envi-ronmental safety in the sphere of construction and utility services, as among the most important factors in the sustainable development of settlements and territories.

The article presents the results of the study of environmental pollution by methods of biological indication. The objects of research are children's playgrounds which are influenced by the negative anthropogenic factors. A child's body is more vulnerable to anthropogenic stresses. Car exhaust gases can have a negative impact on the respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous and other systems. Excessive noise pollution not only affects your hearing, but also other organs and systems. In addition, noise can increase stress hormone levels. The aim of the study is to identify the main adverse factors affecting playgrounds in large cities. Despite there are the sanitary standards for the placement of playgrounds in large cities, it was found that about 50 % of all playgrounds were located in violation of environmental safety standards. As part of the work, an inventory of children's playgrounds and sports grounds in the cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnipro was carried out. The author carried out experimental research on some playgrounds using biological indication methods. The method of lichen indication revealed that four out of ten playgrounds in Kharkiv have a high level of air pollution, and two out of ten in Kyiv and Dnipro. This is confirmed by the biotesting method. It was found that one of the methods of solving the problem of excessive anthropogenic load on the objects of study is planting greenery. It is experimentally established that green plantations are able to reduce the level of noise pollution by 4–6 dB and absorb pollutants. In addition to reducing the anthropogenic load, the greening of playgrounds has an impact on improving the microclimate of the urban environment, and developing the visual qualities of urbanised landscapes

Urgency of the research. The transition from consumer society to the foundations of sustainable development is an urgent problem of science, especially in the process of European integration of Ukraine, while business entities are most open to the implementation of these principles in the process of transformation. Target setting. Multidimensional category of consumption as a key determinant of sustainable development, its research within the conceptual-categorical apparatus of different disciplines resulted in inconsistencies in the disclosure of its essence because of several related concepts use. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Significant contributions to the study of responsible, intelligent, sustainable consumption and production have been made by well-known foreign (J. Gontelos, T. Jackson, A. Deaton, F. Capra, L. Mikaelis, D. Fedrigo) and domestic scientists (O. Grishnov, A. Kotenko, A. Kolot, O. Melnichenko, L. Pogorila, T. Saltevska). Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. At the same time, structural elements of the conceptual apparatus of consumption remain insufficiently substantiated and established. The issue of consumer safety is all the more acute. The research objective is to explore the structural interrelations between the elements of the conceptual apparatus of the category "consumption" in terms of its focus on ensuring social and economic development, the welfare of the individual and humanity as a whole on the basis of sustainable development. The statement of basic materials. The article deals with the structural-system analysis of the terms "sustainable", "socially responsible", "green", "intelligent", "rational", "ethical" consumption. It has been established that in the majority of them, they are aimed at reducing the negative impact on health, the environment, society, formation of conscious behavior (motivation) of the consumer. The concept of "safe consumption" is suggested. Conclusions. The dialectical connection of related categories of the "consumption" concept has been analyzed; the tetra-like model of the structure of the category apparatus of consumption in the sustainable development system has been proposed.

The purpose of the article is to determine the role of logistics costs and systematize the prerequisites for improving approaches to logistics costs management in the system of sustainable development of economic agents. The study is based on the use of general and special scientific methods of scientific knowledge: method of system analysis, the system-structural method etc. Ensuring sustainable development is prerequisite for the formation of the sufficient level of competitiveness of economic agents. The assessment of Ukraine’s logistics activities in the world ranking is performed in the article. Directions of the development of global logistics are systematized. Developed logistics infrastructure is the prerequisite for investment and innovation development of business structures, region’s economic systems, and the state within the framework of international cooperation. The structure of logistics costs of modern business structures is analyzed in the article. The main trends in the formation of logistics costs are the growth of total logistics costs in the context of globalization, of growth of requirements for the sustainable development; the logistics services costs as a percentage of sales in value terms is constantly growing; components of logistics costs have different trends; smaller business structures have higher specific logistics costs etc. Active use of modern technologies in logistics activities to ensure compliance with the requirements of sustainable development is an important factor logistics costs increasing. The degree of dependence of the economic agent on the procurement, transport, warehousing, information and other areas of logistics determines the approaches to optimizing logistics costs of the economic agent. Logistics can have a negative impact on the socio-economic sphere and the ecosystem. This impact causes to additional costs for economic agents. Identifying problems and forming approaches to effective management of logistics costs of economic agents at the micro- and macro levels, taking into account the requirements of sustainable development is the subject of further research.

Постановка задачи. Ставится вопрос о необходимости развития методологических подходов градостроительного проектирования на микротерриториальном уровне, направленных на создание комфортной и безопасной среды жизнедеятельности в городах и поселениях. Результаты. Получила развитие методология разработки проектов планировки территории - градостроительной документации элементов планировочной структуры (кварталов, микрорайонов, жилых районов) - на основе разрабатываемой в РААСН парадигмы биосферной совместимости городов и поселений, развивающих человека. Предлагается методика оценки вариантов проектов планировки на основе сравнения четырех блоков индикаторов: экологической безопасности жилых территорий, пространственно-территориальных ресурсов, структурно-планировочной и архитектурной организации территории и обеспеченности городскими функциями. По каждому из этих блоков определен необходимый и достаточный состав индикаторов оценки проектных решений. Показаны перспективы развития количественной оценки проектных решений с использованием принципов парадигмы биосферной совместимости на микротерриториальном уровне. Выводы. Выполненная численная оценка проектных решений жилых кварталов показывает прежде всего социальное с точки зрения предоставления необходимых условий жизнедеятельности и развития человека содержание проектов планировки территории, а также их экологический императив. Statement of the problem. The question is raised about the need to develop methodological approaches to urban planning at the microterritorial level aimed at creating a comfortable and safe environment for life in cities and settlements. Results. The authors propose a methodology development project plan for the area - planning documentation of the town-planning elements of the planning structure (blocks, neighborhoods, residential areas) based on the paradigm developed in RAACS of biosphere compatibility of man-made cities and settlements. The method of evaluating variants of planning projects based on a comparison of four blocks of indicators: environmental safety of residential areas, spatial and territorial resources, structural planning and architectural organization of the territory and provision of urban functions. For each of these blocks, the necessary and sufficient composition of indicators is determined, which are calculated based on the design solutions. The prospects for the development of quantitative evaluation of design solutions using the principles of the biosphere compatibility paradigm at the microterritorial level are shown. Conclusion. The numerical evaluation of the design solutions shows the social content of the territory planning projects and reflects the decisions on the urban environment of the city.
