The Study of the Environmental Risk of Urban Areas on the Example of the City of Voronezh

Abstract

Studied the regularity of formation of socio-environmental conditions that affect the environmental safety of cities on the example of the city of Voronezh. The results obtained in the course of many years of monitoring studies are summarized in the GIS “Environmental and socio-economic conditions of the city of Voronezh”. GIS consists of a system of hierarchically subdivided sections of databases and thematic mapping tools, reflecting the natural resource potential, socio-economic and environmental-hygienic situation of urbanized territories. The basis is Earth remote sensing data, and official statistics from environmental agencies. For mathematical cartographic modeling, an array of official statistical information was selected for a 20-year period, from 1998 to 2018.
