Factors of influence on the changes in the regional typology of the eastern regions of ukraine

Abstract

 The problems and tasks of changing the regional typology of the eastern regions caused by the war are considered. It is noted that the engineering and planning organization of the territory of the regions is undergoing cardinal changes under the influence of military and political factors. Assessment of the conditions and factors that determine the state and parameters of development of the engineering and planning organization of the Luhansk region for the period 2014-2021 has undergone changes from 02/24/2022 with the start of the military aggression. The situation is not defined, the war is not over, the results and consequences are still difficult to predict and evaluate. From the point of view of urban planning and territorial development, it is advisable to confine ourselves to an analysis of trends and possible basic principles. Soon there will be issues of adjusting the tasks and principles of regional typology. Political decisions will be decisive, functional content and corresponding structural changes will be a consequence. The scale of destruction of the infrastructure and housing stock of the region matters. The post-war reconstruction will have a national and regional character. The basic needs of the population of the region as a whole remain the same. The terms and methods of implementing the requests of the society are subject to adjustment. Principles are decisive. The scale of the destruction of settlements is such that subsequently it will be necessary to evaluate the possibilities of restoration, apparently, according to the assessment of the territories. The key role will be played by the state of infrastructure - roads, transport hubs and facilities, water supply systems, energy (substations, power lines). The nature and scale of the renewal of individual settlements will also be determined by the functional potential that will manifest itself in the post-war period. Urban planning tasks and directions for the transformation of the territorial structure and living environment of the Lugansk region should take into account the change in the regional typology of the east of Ukraine. The restoration of the region will be based on the consequences of internal factors of preservation or destruction (decline) of the territories, they will be determined by the results of the war. Outstanding factors for the tasks of the reconstruction of territories and cities will be macroeconomic tasks, the state of the environment, infrastructure facilities and transport links.
