Urban Development Aspects of Sustainable Development of Mountainous Areas

Abstract

The development of mountainous territories is an important topic that affects many aspects, including economic development, environmental problems and social issues. The article considers the following key points: economic significance, environmental aspects, social issues, architectural and construction innovations, as well as orographic and climatic changes. The analysis of mountainous territories from the orographic, microclimatic, ecological points of view was carried out in order to find the conditions and prerequisites for the formation of urban development entities. The types of sections of the mountain-valley system intended for development taking into account the relief and steepness of the slope were identified. Methodological proposals for the typology of the mountain-valley system and the typology of buildings and development depending on the planning structure and methods of developing their volumes on the mountainous relief were developed. General typological requirements for development, housing and civil buildings in the characteristic components of the mountain-valley system were formulated.
Based on the analysis and use of a comprehensive methodology for assessing the landscape structure of a mountainous area,
natural and climatic conditions, and the orographic structure of the mountain-valley system (MVS), a number of recommendations have been developed for architectural planning and volumetric-spatial solutions for residential buildings of different heights. As
a result, the main aspects of designing residential buildings that take into account the specific features of a mountainous area
have been identified: adaptation of the facility to the relief situation, slope steepness, local natural and climatic conditions, organization of volumetric space, environmental and economic aspects, and building typology.
