Ecotourism territory is a specially protected natural area, whose function is the development of ecological tourism. The purpose of the development of the ecotourism territory is to preserve the natural and cultural heritage, with the recreational use of the territory. The contradictions that arise between the recreational use of the territory and the preservation of natural and cultural heritage lead to the need to manage the processes of recreational impact on the territory. The tool for solving the problem is a modeling method that provides the necessary synthesis of knowledge about the human environment. The complexity of the urban planning system of the ecotourism territory does not allow making urban planning decisions based on one comprehensive model. The system representation of the modeling object consists of an interconnected consideration of it from functional and morphological (structural) positions. Therefore, the structural and functional approach has become the methodological basis for modeling. It allows determining the main spatial patterns of the formation of a stable planning structure of the ecotourism territory. The structural-functional approach provides consideration of external environment of the ecotourism territory as a holistic formation - a territorial system. It makes possible to comprehensively evaluate and present it as the urban planning system. The functional decomposition of the urban planning system consists in a hierarchical division of functions into the main (preservation of natural and cultural heritage), subordinate main (recreational use of the territory) and additional (servicing visitors and territories). As a result, the sustainability of the planning framework structure depends on the preservation and restoration of the integrity of the ecological and eco-cultural frameworks of the ecotourism territory.

The authors set out the basics of urban planning policy and represent the capabilities of modern information and communication tools for an integrated way of fixing the material and intangible world for urban planning purposes in the living environment (material and spatial environment). Namely, the possibilities of communication in the field of urban planning development carried out in the context of many circumstances cover federal, regional, municipal and corporate levels of management, while taking into account political, economic, social and technological relevant factors, as well as historical and national special aspects and urban planning typology of territories. The authors describe the operation of the developed computer program Decision Support Solutions (DSS) for evaluating decision options by interested participants in urban planning activities for various urban planning types of territories. The relevance of the article is driven by the need for practical use and legalization of the presented communicative interaction. This will facilitate the identification and solution of conflicts at the pre-project stage of urban planning, as should help to consider the requirements of consumers and their support for ongoing decisions and actions of public authorities at all levels.

In recent years, nature-based solutions have been increasingly promoted as a climate change adaptation instrument, strongly advocated to be co-created. Achieving clear, coherent, and ambitious urban greening strategies, embedded in urban planning and developed in a co-creative, participatory and inclusive manner, is highly challenging within the EU enlargement context. In this article, such challenges are studied through two recent urban development initiatives in Belgrade, the Capital of Serbia: the first initiative focuses on planning the new Linear Park, within the framework of the CLEVER Cities Horizon 2020 project; the second initiative envisages the transformation of the privatised Avala Film Complex in the Košutnjak Urban Forest, primarily led by private interests but supported by the local authorities. The multiple-case study research method is applied, with an exploratory purpose and as a basis for potential future research on evaluation of co-creation processes for NBS implementation. The theoretical basis of this article is founded in the research on sustainability transitions, focusing on multi-level perspective (MLP) framework. The urban planning system in Belgrade and Serbia is observed as a socio-technical regime of the MLP. In such framework, we recognize co-creative planning of the Linear Park as a niche innovation. We interpret opposition towards planning of the Avala Film Complex as escalation, or an extreme element of the socio-technical landscape, comprised of civic unrests and political tensions on one side, combined with the climate crisis and excessive pollution on the other side. Moreover, the article examines informal urban planning instruments that can be implemented by the practitioners of niche innovations, that could support urban planners and NBS advocates in the Serbian and EU enlargement contexts to face the challenges of motivating all stakeholders to proactively, constructively and appropriately engage in co-creation.

At the present stage of the development of the construction industry, based on the principles of sustainable development, special attention should be paid to the formation of construction waste. Reserves for improving the level of efficiency of waste management can be found in the application of modern information technologies and their adaptation to resource-saving problems. The use of information systems is advisable at all stages of the life cycle of a building. Today, the technology of building information modeling (BIM) is actively developing, which can significantly reduce the amount of waste generation in construction. This is possible with its implementation at the design stage, in order to avoid irrational design decisions, collisions, etc. Information systems for data transmission allow rapid exchange of information between project participants, promptly warn about changes in space-planning decisions, materials, structures and equipment. At the stage of operation, in the presence of the information model of the building, it is possible to create a planning system for the organization of works of major overhaul or reconstruction. This article also proposes a description of the functions that an information system must have aimed at coordinating the management of construction waste in the region.

Introduction. One of the urban planning key tasks is to ensure the personal and social safety and create a high-quality urban environment defined as the ability of the environment to meet human needs. Creating a favorable urban environment is also one of the most important strategic tasks of the state. For that reason, in the nearest future, it is necessary to ensure a cardinal increase in the urban environment comfort, increase the urban environment quality index and reduce the number of settlements with an unfavorable environment. Thus, there is a need to introduce new urban planning system approaches to the assessment of the effectiveness of design solutions in the field of urban green space arrangement. The scope of the research is normative and technical regulation in the field of urban green space arrangement, while its objective is the analysis of the main regulation problems. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the study is the principles of urban planning based on the calculation of triple balances of the biotechnosphere. By varying the elements of the green space arrangement, it is possible to regulate the level of the biosphere’s regenerative forces, thus balancing the anthropogenic impact on the urban environment. Methods of the research are familiarization with the relevant legal documents in the field of urban green-space arrangement and integrated analysis of urban planning documentation for solving the problems of strategic planning of territorial development. Results. The analysis of the main problems of normative and technical regulation in the field of urban green space arrangement is performed. The functions of gardening in the composition of the urban territorial zones are revealed. The paper shows a gradation of landscaping systems in the urban planning structure at various urban planning levels. A comparative analysis of the landscaping of the territorial zones is given for three major towns of the Central Federal district: Orel, Smolensk, and Tambov. A method to create favorable conditions for life, is proposed for regulating the regenerative forces of the biosphere with the balance ratios of the components of the biotechnosphere balance, including elements of various gardening intensities. Conclusions. Creating a continuous system of green and other open spaces based on the principles of urban planning is currently the main tool for creating a favorable urban environment. Currently, new system approaches are required to assess the effectiveness of design solutions in the field of landscaping and introducing a new integrated indicator of the availability of green spaces.

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.
