security of megalopolises. Concepts of the city agro-industry. Resource Management
Urban environment of dwelling as difficult natural and technogenic system, general characteristic of subsystems and their interrelation. Reasons of

services); intensive physical, chemical, mechanical and biological environmental pollution; general growth and territorial unevenness of
environmental pressures, etc. Negative impact of these factors on health of the person, a condition of plants and ecosystems, materials, buildings and
constructions.

conditions, characteristics material and environment. Signs of reference of the cities and territories adjoining to them to zones of the increased
ecological risk, an emergency ecological situation or ecological disaster.
Habitat as set of microhabitats of stay of the person during life cycles. The inhabited environment (the apartment, a building, territories, the
residential district) – the main artificial ecosystem of habitat of the person. Functional properties of its elements, internal system communications,
external relations with a surrounding urban environment. The direct and mediated influence of a condition of a surrounding urban environment on a
choice of utilities on qualities of the inhabited environment.
System of ecological criteria of quality of habitat: all-the-year-round security of thermal conditions and purity of air in rooms (at level of
requirements to atmospheric); modes of natural illumination and insolation; protection of elements of the inhabited environment against noise,
vibration, electromagnetic and ionizing radiation; efficiency of use of energy resources on maintenance of a heater mode and household needs;
security with recreations and platforms of other functional purpose; safety of conditions of accommodation, including security from infections and
emergency situations of natural and technogenic character. The necessary spatial and functional environment of the dwelling and standard security in
total area – a primary condition of quality of habitat. Ecological essence and system interrelation of criteria of quality of habitat.
Subject 2. Concept of a sustainable development . New urbanism. Green technologies and harmless city. Climatic calls. Kyoto Protocol. International
standards: LEED, BREEM. Theoretical problems of moving and formation of the cities in interrelation with problems of ensuring global ecological
equilibrium, rational use of renewable natural resources and ensuring their reproduction.
