ACCOUNTING OF NATURAL-CLIMATIC FACTORS IN URBAN PLANNING FOR ENSURING LIFE SAFETY

Abstract. Objective. Analysis of the account of natural and climatic factors in urban planning for ensuring the safety of the life of the population of Ukraine. Methodology. Application of the system approach in the state analysis of the problem and the existing methods of taking into account natural and climatic factors in urban planning. An analytical review of the current scientific literature on this issue has been completed. Results. It is noted that in the conditions of global warming and temperature increasing in Ukraine in the summer to 40 and more degrees Celsius, the problem of architectural and planning regulation of the microclimate acquires special significance, as in countries with a hot climate. The ways of the influence of various natural and climatic factors on the city microclimate and the possibility of reducing this influence for improving the human life safety in the urban environment are considered. Conclusions. Landscaping of urban space becomes a multifunctional factor: in residential areas improves microclimatic conditions; on the streets - promotes protection from the sun, dust, gas and noise; in gardens and parks - promotes the improvement of air, filtering it through the crowns of trees and shrubs, absorbing the lawn.
