Integrated assessment of ecological state of municipal economy objects in towns of caucasus mineral waters region

Abstract

Despite the environmental attractiveness, the resort towns and cities of the Caucasus Mineral Waters (CMW) region face ecological problems concerning the condition of municipal economy objects, which require attention and solution. The present paper gives an analysis of the results of the investigation of ionizing radiation and dust factor in resort towns and cities of the CMW region. The results, obtained by the authors, prove the necessity of wide-scale accumulation of data on the ecological characteristics of the municipal economy objects of the resort region. Based on the obtained results, the authors carry out the work aimed at the ecological mapping of the resort towns and cities of the CMW region, which involves assigning the "hazard" categories to the territories of various functional zones, i.e. a software product on the basis of the mathematical model of the environment is developed that allows performing an integrated calculation of the influence of negative factors, as well as setting the recommendations necessary for the normalization of the ecological situation in the most busy and troubled zones of the towns and cities. The given maps should be "mobile", that means they should allow including all the changes in the ecological situation for a particular territory in a timely manner
