The processes of functioning of urban planning systems in modern conditions of society development are subject to new challenges. These challenges are determined by changes in the environment, priorities for social development, problems of urban areas, which determine new models of spatial and territorial distribution of the population. The article is devoted to topical issues of finding ways to increase the attractiveness of areas for the population. Theoretical definition of the basic concept of town-planning systems, their components is given, normative-legal bases of theoretical definition of town-planning system are analyzed. Urbanization processes involve both the development of territories and the creation of additional aspects for research to improve urban systems. Problems of development of urbanized territories are worked out. "Smart" urbanization determines the conditions that in modern society meet the socio-economic, environmental and spatial requirements for a comfortable human life. The town-planning system is defined as a complex concept and its further structuring is carried out by allocating the enlarged blocks of town-planning systems, definition of their structural elements and analysis of the functional role of each structural element according to the defined blocks. The article analyzes the factors influencing the attractiveness of areas for the population in modern conditions of society. The identified factors are classified and grouped in order to form a system for assessing the attractiveness of the territory for the population for further development of measures to improve the comfort of living in this area, grouped into blocks: economic, social, spatial, environmental. Based on the structuring, a model of elements of the urban system and a model of parametric characteristics of the processes of assessing the attractiveness of the urban system were developed. These models are intended to be the basis for further development of a system for assessing the attractiveness of areas to ensure their sustainable development. These models are developed by analyzing urban systems, determining their elements and functional purpose, assessing the impact of each element on the attractiveness of the population. Carrying out the assessment by introducing an integrated criterion will not only determine the potential of the territory for further development, but also ensure the formation of strategic development plans by analyzing their "weaknesses" and making management decisions to deal with such negative factors. The result of this work should increase the attractiveness of the urban planning system for the population. Prospects for further research identify the processes of analysis of the potential of territories and forecasting ways of population movement in accordance with changes in territorial attractiveness.

As a city is a complex system, it complies with the principles pertaining to organization and management of systems. System analysis makes it possible to figure out the difference between managing systems (subject) from systems that are managed (object). There is a link between these system formations which unites them in a common system. Such relationship is a source of information for development of management action. Impact on the system is achieved through availability of influential means and data. Urban planning science represents a city as a complex of socio-economic, territorial-productive and demographic-ecological systems of the following type: “population” – “environment” – “activity”. “Environment” is thought of as a technical system with such synonyme notions as “urban planning system”, “anthropogenic environment”, “settlement system”. “Environment” has two components – territory and buildings. Ukrainian legislation determines that management of urban planning activities is carried out through developing urban planning documentation and carrying out urban planning monitoring. Results of the urban planning monitoring are taken into account while preparing urban planning documentation (introduction of amendments to it) and programs of socio-economic development. Thus, urban planning monitoring represents a management system of urban planning activity in the Ukraine. Legislation of the Republic of Belarus contains some provisions which regulate urban planning activity through urban development planning and zoning of territories; creation and maintenance of urban planning cadastre; control over development and implementation of urban planning, architectural and construction projects; implementation of state construction supervision. Data of the urban planning cadastre are taken into account in urban planning documentation. In comparison with the Ukraine management of the urban planning system in the Republic of Belarus is attached to the urban planning cadastre. The urban planning systems of the Ukraine and the Republic of Belarus are self-managed reflexive systems that organize their behavior with due account of not only the past experience but also due to possible impact of other system which is in interaction with it.

The article is devoted to the pressing issue of information support of territorial development processes. In the modern world, processes of information support of operational processes are of great relevance. Information and analytical support is the basis for making effective management decisions. In systems of urban development, urban and territorial development, the information component aims at ensuring the realization of three factors of development: economy, ecology and social development. In the conditions of sustainable development of society all three directions are balanced. However, due to certain imbalances in the system, humanity is searching for new forms of providing a comfortable life, work and leisure. Suburbanization has become one of these forms. Suburbanization is a trend of modern development of cities and territories in developed countries, which have high rates of socio-economic security. Suburbanisation is the process of centering the flow of people from large centers of economic gravity to the suburban area, which has the best environmental performance, which is possible in the case of ensuring the social component of human life. The relevance of suburbanization processes has necessitated the need for research on information and analytical support for these processes. In particular, the basic elements of the model of the structure of the urban planning system were identified and the dual connections of information support of decision-making for the development of urban planning systems were analyzed. On the basis of this analysis the task of information support of town-planning systems was determined. Based on the analysis of problems of special theory of urban planning information systems, it is proposed to develop an algorithm for information and analytical support of urban planning systems in the context of suburbanization processes. It has been determined that the automation of information support processes for urban planning systems management in today's digital society is the basis for the formation of effective urban development activities. In a three-prong urban development model that integrates issues of economy, ecology and social protection, suburbanization issues play a crucial role. The processing, analysis and evaluation of information on the development of town-planning systems make it possible to determine the leading trends and tendencies of development, as well as to predict the design of processes of town-planning activity. Keywords: urban planning, management of urban planning systems, suburbanization, information systems

A study on the history of urban morphology in China based on discourse analysis Limeng Zhang¹, Andong Lu¹ ¹School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Nanjing University. Nanjing University Hankou Road 22#, Gulou District, Nanjing, China E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Key words: urban morphology, terminology, discourse analysis Conference topics and scale: Literature review   (Supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China, Grant No.: 51478215)   Urban morphology is a method widely used in China in the field of urban design and urban conservation. Since its first introduction to the Chinese context about 20 years ago, the key ideas and concepts of urban morphology underwent a significant phenomenon of ‘lost in translation’. Different origins of morphological thoughts, different versions of translation, as well as different disciplinary context, have all together led to a chaotic discourse. This paper reviews the key Chinese articles in the field of urban morphology since 1982 and draws out a group of persistent keywords, such as evolution, axis, urban fringe belt, plan unit and plot, that characterize the morphological approach to urban issues. By reviewing the transformation of the definition of these keywords, this paper aims to generate an evolutionary map of landmark ideas and concepts, based on which, four stages in the development of urban morphology in China can be identified: emergence, growth, maturity, practice. The mapping methodology could be extrapolated to other words, and the obtained evolutionary map could be a basic tool for further study.   References Conzen M. R.

In this article, the authors considered the development of Rashkiv (Raszków in Polish and Raşcov in Rumunian), the fortified settlement which is situated on the Middle part of the Lower Dnister Region. An attempt of reconstruction of the most important stages of its town-planning biography of the 15th-18th centuries was made. The authors based their research on newly identified sources. The systematization of the historical chronology of the most important events which have influenced the formation of the defensive structures and the urban environment of Rashkiv has been carried out. In the course of the 15th-18th centuries, four major urban planning periods were identified: the Lithuanian – fort Karaul in the form of a defensive roundel type castle, further – Zamoyski’s town fortress with a fortified downtown, then – the fortifying of the suburbs and, finally, – trade and handicraft town without any defense function. At each stage, an attempt was made to hypothetically localize separate elements of the city – fortifications, historical roads, street planning system, civil and sacral dominant elements. The authors all available source data – archival sources, historical and contemporary cartography, toponymics, field surveys, surveys, and iconographic materials for analysis. Remains of the 1st period represent today ruins of earth shafts under the fortress. This hillfort is monument of archeological heritage and it is protected by state. Ukrainian historian M. Hrushevskyi connects appearance of the fort here with necessity todefend the river crossing and the trading way. From the 2nd period we have today just two preserved bastions of the early of 17th century and some relicts of urban planning system, for example, part of the historical market square. The article also substantiates the value and necessity of preserving the historical plan of Rashkiv which was, in particular, developed under the influence of the development of defense strategies of its time. 3rd period was graphically hypothetically reconstructed in many ways. To a greater extent it is because we have not enough materials to create a definite model of the urban development of this period. Research is based on historical topographic works of 17th and 18th centuries and onlysince the early 19th century we have more detailed historical plans to make more far reaching hypotheses. Using historical photos of early 20th century, authors succeeded in discovering historically determined rhythm of urban environment in Rashkiv. Unfortunately, it is disappearing now due the physical ruining of historical substance of old town and reconstruction according present-day inhabitants’ ideas about country houses or summer cottages. The present results are significant in elaborating historical and reference architectural plan of the settlement, registration of the newly discovered objects of cultural heritage as monuments of architecture and urban planning, archeology, history and nature. New master plan of Rashkiv urban development should be based on our complex architectural and urban planning research to preserve cultural legacy of Rashkiv and to use it for modern economical and tourist revival.

The article deals with the prospects of the development of ecological tourism in the Odessa region. The definition of "ecological tourism" is given, the practice of development of ecological tourism in different countries of the world and regions of Ukraine is analyzed. The purposes of development of ecological tourism are substantiated. The natural and natural reserve potential of the Odessa region is analyzed, potential environmental risks associated with the development of ecological tourism in the region are estimated. An analysis of trends in the development of ecological tourism as a separate activity in different regions of Ukraine and as an auxiliary in rural (green) tourism is conducted.Obstacles to the development of environmental tourism in the region are: lack of proper legal support for the development of this type of tourism; lack of a mechanism for rational and ecologically balanced use of the natural, historical and cultural potential of the region for tourism needs; absence of objects of the nature reserve fund of the highest category of the heritage, which minimizes the development of tourism; insufficient number of developed eco-routes within the oblast.Necessary development of legislative and normative base in relation to the order of exposure, estimation, taking of inventory of resources suitable for to eco-tourism, their passport systems, registrations, determinations of the legal mode of tourist resources and marking of resources, their monitoring on conforming to the normative requirements. Needs the improvement of mechanisms of backuping of earth under a next testament through making alteration in Law of Ukraine "On the naturally-protected fund of Ukraine". In the legislative order it is necessary to fix a requirement in relation to the reflection of limits of the earth reserved under a next testament in plan-building and town-planning documentation that will need making alteration to Laws of Ukraine "On planning and building of territories", "About the General chart of planning of territory of Ukraine. Regulatory, managerial and economic measures aimed at further development of ecological tourism in the region are offered.

Recently, more and more often urban abandoned and depressed spaces that were previously used as industrial facilities or temporarily used are becoming the sphere of architectural and landscape transformations. These territories can occupy a significant part of the city. This paper examines the features of the formation of urban planning systems, as well as the impact of depressed spaces on the quality of the urban environment. This paper studies such depressed spaces as abandoned industrial areas and objects of unfinished construction. The paper assesses the impact of depressed spaces, identifies criteria that reflect the nature, scale and features of their impact on the environment, on the safety and quality of the urban environment, as well as their role in the structure of the city as a whole. The principles and features of the formation of such urban depressed spaces, as well as the patterns of their development are revealed. The features of the formation of open public space of urban systems, as well as ways of transforming depressed spaces, aimed at increasing their social significance, integrating them into the general urban development, and improving the ecological and social situation are considered. The paper concludes that the problem of restoration of depressed spaces is very important and urgent today. The creation of a continuous urban tissue is impossible without the reorganization of such spaces, as well as the creation of an integral compositional, functional and communication urban planning system.

This paper addresses how different urban planning systems play their role in the development of cities, and how this directly affects the role and status of urban planning in social construction, and how to determine the social awareness of urban planning. By contrasting and defining the challenges and advantages of the regulatory, discretionary and hybrid urban planning systems, as well as examining the potential possibilities of each system, which system is more effective will become apparent. Therefore, planning and policy implementation can be more extensive and special. At the same time, a sound planning system can form relevant information feedback to propose amendments and adjustment methods for the city's planning content and policy and planning operation, which comply with the objective requirements of urban development.

The article analyzes the main features of the interaction of functional filling and planning urban planning techniques in the central parts of major historical cities in the course of their development. Such an analysis is essential to the choice of optimal reconstructive solutions, with the necessary preservation of the historical and aesthetic value of the urban heritage. Similarly to the influence of the functional purpose of the building on the whole complex of planning and composite solutions, the primary definition of the semantic meaning of urban formation is directly influenced by the drawing and its plan, the logic of the interaction of the main urban planning categories from antiquity to our time. Thus, the main functional designation of medieval European cities as trading, defense and military ports has developed characteristic forms of their plans, optimal for the proper functioning of urban entities. Subsequently, after the destruction of irrelevant fortifications and in the process of territorial growth of cities significantly increases the range and volume of city functions and takes advantage of an open flexible scheme of microstructures in the developed system of the center outside the central core, which should maintain a high rank of historical and cultural emphasis of the city. In order to avoid the phenomena of functional degradation of separate spaces of the center or excessive dynamism of functions capable of distorting the value of historical and architectural substance, it is necessary to estimate the optimal capacity of the city center, that is, the quantitative and qualitative optimum of functions, which can perceive the historical environment without reducing its cultural and aesthetic values due to the harmonious interaction of functional and planning categories. This harmony can be achieved not only by adapting the contents and form of the city center to new needs, but also by adjusting these needs to the optimal possibilities of the historical environment, which may partially offset the comfort of the home by its special advantages.
