Abstract

The concept of the development of the historical part of Lutsk should simultaneously perform many functions, namely, reflect the strategic vision of the development of the main spheres of life in the center of Lutsk, inform and explain to the city residents the essence and logic of communal and private projects that can be implemented within the historical part of the city, help local self-government bodies to adopt effective decisions in the field of planning and use of public finances.

The main goal of this study is to reveal the essence of the use of the morphological approach in the development of the concept of the development of the historical part of the city of Lutsk. Tasks: to reveal the essence of the morphological approach used in the development of the concept; to analyze the possibilities of its application on the example of the city of Lutsk; to determine the possible positive aspects of the use of the morphological approach in the development of the concept.

The project-analytical method of the English school of "urban morphology" - Urban Morphology - was used to identify the material heritage and subsequent inventory.

With the help of this method, we were able to capture important aspects of the territory and understand what we have of value, and how to give it the right development vector. The essence of the method is that the city is perceived as an imaginary layering of important city-forming forms into layers, which in urban planning theory are called morphological layers of the city. As part of the conducted research, we have developed a scheme of morphological layers of the historical part of the city of Lutsk. Such morphological layers are: buildings, streets, green areas, relief and water areas.

This method is a good tool for designing a holistic strategic vision for the development of the urban area. With the help of a morphological approach, we expand the focus of attention, where the building occupies only one of the five important layers, and try to change the perception of historical heritage as the value of individual objects of cultural heritage and ordinary buildings.
