“…Every new development involves certain costs which can certainly be counted as negative effects, e.g., consumption of natural resources, space, or green areas. However, the new development can generate compensation in terms of value and utility that will benefit the local community, as well as future inhabitants [98,99]. The issue of negative externalities is extremely important when trying to explain why the cost of a bad project is not always considered during the planning of a development.…”

The quality of the housing environment (HE) is an important issue that has a direct impact on the life of inhabitants. Aiming for quality in residential architecture begins with a well-designed HE, with the designing process being a value that is difficult to evaluate. Nowadays, a well-designed HE takes into account the energy efficiency of a building. An appropriate degree of thermal comfort, which is required by inhabitants, needs to be considered at the design stage. Designers can use building certification programs and multi-criteria analysis to motivate investors to construct buildings in accordance with energy efficiency requirements. These systems respond to the needs of energy efficiency, thermal comfort, sustainable heating, and ventilation. Defining ways and methods to evaluate quality in architectural projects will allow the value of the HE to be improved. For this purpose, a multi-criteria analysis of five systems that can be used to evaluate HE quality and energy efficiency in a temperate climate was conducted: (1) Building For Life 12, (2) Home Quality Mark, (3) Housing Quality Indicators, (4) Système D’évaluation De Logements (Sel), and (5) NF Habitat-NF Habitat HQE. This analysis concerned information about the systems, their applicability in practice, and the applied assessment measures. The article shows that the quality of the HE consists of specific factors that can be distinguished and indicated by evaluation systems. As a result of the carried out assessment of the housing environment, 13 original categories of building assessment criteria were defined. The results of the conducted analysis indicated that it is possible to: (i) identify factors for the improvement of HE quality; (ii) prepare objective systems for the measurement of the HE; and (iii) use such systems in practice, e.g., in the design industry, real estates, and public administration. Moreover, the systems can be used in legal regulations for updating urban policies.

“…The Volyn Polissia waterways, especially the small rivers, are exposed to significant anthropogenic pressure [4][5][6][7]. The quality of the surface water does not meet the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive, and their current state is assessed as critical [8]. In the border areas of Volyn Polissia, small rivers with their swampy catchment area and preserved forest vegetation form the water content, hydrochemical regime, hydroecological state and water quality of the basins of medium and large tributaries of the Prypiat.…”

The assessment of the transformation level in the Buniv River basin (Ukraine) transformation was performed. Substantiates the need to improve the monitoring system within the river basin, as the main tool for assessing and predicting changes in the aquatic ecosystem and managing the processes of its anthropogenic. The research methods included on-site investigations, laboratory and analytical studies, data processing using GIS technologies. A topographic survey of the Buniv River’s floodplain within the village of Rokytne town was performed. The on-site investigations included field surveys and water sampling at 4 control sites on the Buniv River for 13 quality indicators. The analysis of the obtained cartographic models indicates a significant anthropogenic transformation of the natural landscapes. A significant part of the watercourses of the Buniv River basin was once directed and transformed into main canals of the meliorative systems. This causes the formation more dangerous flood flow.

“…The cation exchange capacity of zeolites and glauconites may vary by origin and is equal to 64-229 meq/100 g [29] and 11-35 meq/100 g [30][31][32], respectively. As a result, zeolites and glauconites can be used as adsorbents of heavy metals and radionuclides [29,30,[33][34][35]. A feature of glauconite often used in water treatment by filtration in active techniques is the occurrence in the form of granular glauconite sands.…”

(1) The mineral deposits are the base resources of materials used in building and environmental engineering applications, especially available locally. Two wells of volcanic tuff deposits in the Khmelnytsky region of Ukraine were investigated in this regard. (2) Physical-mechanical, chemical, and mineralogical analyses of the core samples were carried out. (3) The tuff samples were characterized by visible colour, low compressive strength (4.34–11.13 MPa), and high water absorption (30%). The dominant minerals of the upper horizon were chlorite, pyroxene, kaolinite, quartz, hematite, and calcite, while those of the lower horizon included analcime, quartz, hematite, and calcite. (4) The studied volcanic tuffs seem to be only partly useful for construction applications, and considering their visible colour, the exterior decoration of engineering objects could be possible. The peculiarity of the minerals of the upper horizon is that their crystals consist of Fe2+. An analysis of existing scientific data made it possible to say that these minerals can be considered as an alternative to expensive metallic iron in reducing the toxicity of chromium, uranium, and halogenated organic compounds. The significant presence of hematite allows the application of tuffs to technologies of water purification from As5+, As3+, Cr6+, Cr3+, U6+, Sb5+, and Se4+ oxyanions.
