Urban Safety Development Methods

AbstractScientific and technical progress resulted in a rapid pace of development and transformation of many resources and inhabited areas which afterwards have an adverse impact on people themselves. The issue of the necessity for a sustainable development of the urban structure is very important today. Urban safety development is necessary to ensure a sustainable development of urban environment. Urban safety is a built environment which ensures safe life of the population on the basis of a combination of factors. The article contains a theoretical analysis of the classification of factors forming urban safety of an inhabited area. All factors forming the local urban safety are divided into groups: natural, architectural, social, environmental, technogenic, infrastructural and urban. One registers the influence of these factors on environment and population. Primarily, adverse factors forming urban safety of an area affect the human health. Many environmental factors notably have an impact on the man in a certain period of time as they tend to accumulate in the human body. Apart from the influence on the man, one can notice certain influence on animals and plants affected by a complex of adverse factors inherent in urban environment. The conducted urban safety factor analysis allows one to assess the level of liveability and safety of an inhabited area. The article contains the methods of urban safety development. These methods should be worked out and introduced on the local and regional levels
