The research investigates the formation of food establishment (FE) networks in residential areas from the 1920s to the present. The contemporary domestic and international experience of locating FEs as integral parts of buildings and within the city's structure have been analyzed. New types and formats of FEs, previously unseen in Ukraine, have been identified, leading to the refinement and expansion of existing classifications. A methodology has been developed, major principles have been defined, and recommendations for the formation of FE networks have been provided.
The introduction substantiates the relevance of the dissertation topic, defines the aim and objectives of the study, formulates the object and subject of research, and highlights the scientific novelty and practical significance of the obtained results.
In the 1st chapter, "Literature Review and State of Research", the research sources are analyzed, identifying the questions that require further investigation. A historical analysis of the regulatory framework related to food establishments and their placement in the city is conducted, along with an analysis of international and domestic experiences regarding the placement of food establishments in urban planning structures. The methodology of this research is established.
The 2nd chapter titled "Development of the Food Establishment Network in Residential Areas" explores the historical development of FEs and their placement within urban planning systems in the USSR and Ukraine, based on hierarchical service systems. The current state of FE placement in residential zones of Kyiv was investigated, leading to the identification of typological characteristics of existing FEs. The existing classification of REs and the urban planning classification of urban development entities were revised, and classifications for architectural-spatial placement of FEs within buildings and the placement of FEs in the city were developed.
Existing classifications of FEs and their placement are adjusted. Definitions for new types of FEs that were not previously widespread in Ukraine are provided. It is suggested to replace less commonly used and outdated terms with more modern ones. The existing classification of REs (DSTU 4281:2004) is proposed to be supplemented with the newly identified types of catering establishments. The developed classification categorizes FEs into types that form a network. The types of FEs are further divided into categories and subcategories corresponding to everyday and occasional servicing at the microdistrict and residential district levels, respectively. Based on the duration of stay and service, FEs are classified as fast food, leisure-oriented, or mixed-use. The classification by Urenov V.P. serves as the basis for the classification of architectural and spatial placement of FEs within a building. A classification for the placement of FEs in the city is also developed.
In the 3rd chapter, titled "Conditions for Formation of a Food Establishment Network", the needs of the population, factors, conditions, and contemporary issues influencing the formation and development of the FE network to provide a comfortable living environment for individuals are investigated.
In the 4th chapter, "Methodology for Forming a Network of Food Establishments in Residential Areas", a theoretical model of the FE network is developed. A methodology for calculating pedestrian accessibility radii of FEs is proposed, along with algorithms for integrating new FEs into residential areas and for forming the FE network. Principles and recommendations for forming the FE network in residential areas are defined.
The proposed calculation of service radii for different types of FEs takes into account coefficients derived based on criteria influencing the consumer's choice of FE in residential areas, including leisure opportunities, the exotic nature of the establishment, and the exoticness of the location.
An algorithm is developed for the actions of the architect-urban planner in case there is a need to locate FEs in residential areas and create a FE network to ensure pedestrian accessibility to a maximum variety of FE types for the residents. This is illustrated through the examination of probable situations.
