This technique focuses on the use of satellite images and ground-based data and a systematic approach, modern methods of modeling and quantitative analysis of complex systems, the capabilities of modern information and computer technology for solving complex assessment of urban areas.
The possibility to use space remote sensing data for monitoring anthropogenically changed areas and for environment state estimation is proved. The Kiev city is used as an example. The results of using system methods for estimation and simulation of an urban area environment state are presented.
The following methods are used:
- multifractal analysis methods to assess the variability of urban area components;
- multicriteria optimization methods for integral estimation of the urban area environment state and for evaluation of the relationship of multicriteria conformity function with statistical estimations of the urban area environment state;
- system simulation for comparative evaluation of urbo-landscape components effects and technogenic stresses effects on the urban area environment state.
The potential of using space remote sensing data in conjunction with the methods described above consists in the possibility to obtain integral estimates, simulate and forecast sustainable development of urban agglomerations taking into account ecological factors.
Keywords: satellite data, system analysis, urban territory, urbolandscape elements, environmental condition ofurban territory
