Abstract

The article considers the negative impact of uncontrolled human economic activity, in particular, irrational use of land resources and territories, emergence of various technologies on natural landscapes, on the state of the environment in cities, which results in the emergence and development of disturbed and degraded landscapes, pollution, and deterioration of the structure, properties, and composition of soils, violation of hydrogeological and hydrological regimes, formation of man-made landforms, reduction of aesthetic and recreational value of territories, deterioration of conditions for living and working in urban areas. The article defines the concept of ‘inconvenient’, degraded, disturbed territories, and man-made relief. The article analyses natural and anthropogenic factors that cause changes in natural landscapes; problems of urban development and rehabilitation of disturbed, degraded, abandoned and inconvenient territories for the effective use of urban planning. The article analyses an integrated approach to the rehabilitation of disturbed areas, methods of restoring abandoned areas, and the possibility of determining a rational and effective change in their functional use. All methods of using disturbed areas include the implementation of a system of measures to eliminate disturbances and restore soil fertility, and differ in the final result, depending on the purpose and scope of the project. The article considers in detail the sites of disused quarries and identifies their characteristic features. The foreign and domestic experience of restoration and rational use of such sites is analysed. The restoration of the territories of spent quarries is considered in detail, the main reasons for their formation, signs, factors affecting their filling are given, engineering works aimed at restoring such areas are analysed, and their complexity is determined. A variant proposal for the rehabilitation of the disturbed area at the site of a spent quarry in the city of Kharkiv is considered.
