Omelyanenko M. Methodological basis for regulation of urban environment elements

Research object: urban environment. Research purpose: development and justification of methodological grounds for urban environment and norm-setting of its main structural and functional elements, formation of constraint structure for establishing the optimal human environment, formulation of structure of constraints on formation of stable and safe environment and basic methodological theses of architectural and town-planning normology. Methods of research: system analysis, logical-theoretical and comparative analyses, logical modelling of processes unfolded in the environment and its separate structural-functional elements, expert review of scientific and project research. Scientific novelty: it is the first time that normative-legal base administering the establishment of material-spatial environment has been reviewed as an integrated system which includes three mutually related and mutually inducing organization levels: creation of the model of environment, implementation of the model, and environment exploitation; main theses of a new direction of the scientific research – architectural and town-planning normology as well as conceptual basics of that scientific direction – have been formulated; methodological basics of formation of anthropologically-oriented normative-legal base have been established; the structure of the integrated normative-legal base has been suggested; principles and methods of normative constraints formation have been developed. Practical significance: methods and approaches to norm-setting of urban environment elements have been developed, new structure of regulation documents has been suggested. Sphere of application: town-planning.
