The development of suburban residential areas influences the increasingly growing disparities between residential areas of a local municipal network. Real positive indicator values of settlements are usually used by planners to characterise the residential quality of a suburban settlement and to decide on its future development. These values frequently differ from choices made by urban residents on living under conditions of such interpretive suburban residential quality. It is the essence of spontaneous development in suburbs. This article aims to devise an integrated evaluation instrument that combines the objective and subjective evaluation of the quality indices of suburban residential environment. It introduces the following topics: (1) the identification of subjective and objective indices of the suburban residential environment; (2) development of the previous conceptual model of subjectively and objectively integrated quality indices used for the assessment of the suburban residential environment, and (3) comparison of suburban settlements by the existing conditions of the residential quality and the quality of the residential environment expected by potential residents. This piece of work is a part of a wider research.
Abstract:Although the problem of brownfields in urban territories is successfully limited, it is a negative phenomenon of a sustainable city. Moreover, the number of recently created brownfield territories has become higher than that of the regenerated ones. Such territories reduce the quality of the social and economic setting of a city as well as visually and physically affect the life quality of city residents. Unfortunately, methods for the revitalization of brownfield land have been applied to deal with the consequences of the problem rather than to limit the problem itself. The authors of the article have investigated the aspects to be avoided to not create brownfields. The indicators that enable predicting the probability of a territory becoming a brownfield have been analyzed in this paper. Countries develop and exist under different social and economic conditions. Therefore, there is no uniform and universally accepted system of indicators for brownfield prevention that can be applied in any country or city. The authors have attempted to implement a recently developed idea of indicators for prevention under Lithuanian conditions and have selected those facilitating the identification of brownfields with an aim of identifying the most significant ones warning about the potential harm from the creation of brownfields in Lithuania. The selected indicators have been grouped, taking into account social, economic, natural, building and infrastructure settings of the city and ranked by a group of experts in urban planning. The established hierarchy of indicators in the groups of urban setting has allowed the authors to select the most significant preventive indicators for brownfields. The created OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 6707 system of indicators could be applied in practice as a basis for monitoring pertinent data and tracking their change.
Qualifying European regional policy and treating structural functional remote urban parts as a functional urban region, attention is drawn to the increasing regional integration and the necessity to reduce the barriers for even development between cities and its surrounding rural areas is emphasized. Tendency of city and district municipalities to take positions of independent actors and a big benevolence for a private initiative has created opportunities over 20 years of independent Lithuania for everyone to shape their own living space. Urban development occurs in newly emerging suburban areas and continues to spread to rural areas. Result of this process-the emptying central parts of the cities. Application of sustainable urban planning theory in Lithuanian spatial planning practice has gained official status, but that status often ends where the planned city limits end. Meanwhile, the needs of the population show increase of the city limits borders permeability. The objective of the quality analysis of Vilnius city suburban areas development is associated with most intensively growing Vilnius district settlements, falling in to dominant influence of Vilnius city area. The authors examine the lack of integrity in urban and rural systems. The analysis includes identification of the real problems in urbanized areas and quality assessment of objective / subjective systematic connections, considering not usual political, historical, functional and morphological criteria, but in accordance to the fundamental principles of sustainability identification. Trying to assess urban and rural areas integration in practice, four fastest growing rural settlements in the district of Vilnius has been selected, located at the main roads leading into the city (Avižieniai, Skaidiškės, Pagiriai, Didžioji Riešė). Considering selected parameters characterising consistency, there has been connections between rural and urban areas identified, its numerical values calculated, and using multipurpose decisions support system, assessment findings are presented. The conclusions present evaluation of the impact of the identified connections to the urban system.

"Statyk ir važiuok" (toliau -SV) yra originali viešoji keleivių susisiekimo sistema, veikianti kaip tradicinio viešojo transporto (toliau -VT) papildinys. Ši sistema plačiai populiarėja Europos miestuose. Jos esmę sudaro tai, kad lengvasis auto mobilis paliekamas specialioje automobilių stovėjimo aikštelėje miesto prieigose ir tolesnė kelionė tęsiama VT arba specialiu autobusu. SV sistema orientuota į miesto centro apkrovos lengvaisiais automobiliais mažinimą, ji padeda sumažinti transporto priemonių keliamą triukšmą, oro ir vizualinę taršą mieste, taupo keleivių laiką ir pinigus. Šis straipsnis rengiamas atsižvelgiant į Europos Sąjungos (toliau -ES) struktūrinės paramos periodu numatytą finansavimą, skirtą SV sistemos plėtrai penkiuose didžiausiuose Lietuvos miestuose (Vilniuje, Kaune, Klaipėdoje, Šiauliuose ir Panevėžyje). Todėl šio straipsnio tikslas -sukurti ir pritaikyti S V sistemos teorinį modelį Lietuvos miestams, remiantis gerąja ir blogąja užsienio praktika.
