Assessment of the geoecological potential of natural complexes of small towns in Belarus
Abstract
The assessment of the geoecological potential of natural complexes of 76 small towns in Belarus is presented. Its methodological justification is proposed, which is based on the joint consideration of the factors of its formation (natural stability of natural complexes, the degree of their preservation and anthropogenic impacts). Assessments have been made on the factors of formation and on the magnitude of geoecological potential of small towns in Belarus, their corresponding groupings have been carried out. The dependence of the potential on the natural and landscape conditions of the location of cities has been revealed. The lowest level of potential has been established in the case of their confinement to loess landscapes, hilly-moraine-erosion, alluvial-terraced and undivided river valleys. Priority areas of activity for the optimization of the urban environment have been determined.
