The question of Ukrainian experience of urban beautification system in accordance with approved standards and State Constructional Standards was envisaged. Analysis of validation state of&nbsp;local documents in urban beautification field was carried out and it has shown deficient percentage of regulatory documents approval on local level, which is one of key issues of urban beautification development. Furthermore, detailed analysis of foreign experience of urban beautification planning and development trend of&nbsp;this system I such countries, as USA, Canada, France, Singapore, Hong Kong, </span><span lang="en-GB">Japan was carried out. It is shown that first and critical stage of planning of&nbsp;effective</span> <span lang="en-GB">urban beautification is preparing and approving corresponding certificates and standards. Emphasis added to functioning normative legal documents on issues relating to urban beautification, in accordance to which the territory reconstruction in mentioned countries is realized. It was established that reference direction of&nbsp;urban beautification development in mentioned countries lies in parking lots removing out of the borders of curtilage or underground parking arrangement, landscape gardening development and classification of such territories by levels of&nbsp;urban gardening, territory reconstruction in accordance with typical schemes of&nbsp;street infrastructure development, urban gardening, cycle paths, etc. It is shown that problem solution of habitable open grounds organization on city level resides </span><span lang="en-GB">in usage intensification of such territories, and on the level of residential compounds</span><span lang="en-GB"> – in increasing exploitation properties of open grounds. As a result of undertaken analysis it was established that raised problem of increasing the effectiveness of&nbsp;residential area usage within residential areas imposes complex approach, including question of land development intensiveness, architectural and planning organization and open grounds beautification.</span></span></p> 2024-03-08T17:22:07+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Civil Engineering, Environment and Architecture https://journals.prz.edu.pl/jceea/article/view/1622 ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION IN THE SUBCARPATHIAN PROVINCE 2024-03-27T13:52:47+00:00 Galyna Kalda kaldagal@prz.edu.pl Jolanta Krokos 156599@stud.prz.edu.pl Katarzyna Pietrucha-Urbanik kpiet@prz.edu.pl <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">The work presents an examination of Poland's environmental condition, with a focus</span><span lang="en-GB"> on the contamination of air and surface waters by various chemical elements. The&nbsp;composition and quality of the air impact ecosystems, plant growth, the animal kingdom, and shape human living conditions. These factors play a significant role in driving global climate change. The repercussions of air pollution encompass phenomena such as smog, acid rain, ozone layer depletion, as well as impacts on&nbsp;industrial and municipal facilities, contributing to global warming. The article </span><span lang="en-GB">conducts an analysis of air pollution, surface water contamination, and electromagnetic</span><span lang="en-GB"> radiation pollution in Subcarpathian, utilizing the city of Stalowa Wola and the&nbsp;Stalowa Wola county as case studies. This choice is informed by the fact that Stalowa Wola stands as one of the largest industrial cities in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship, suggesting that environmental pollution levels in this county might surpass those in other regions. The article also delineates the features of air and surface water pollution, along with electromagnetic radiation characteristics. It&nbsp;scrutinizes pollution sources in the mentioned county, explicates the causes of&nbsp;such pollution, and proposes strategies for environmental amelioration. <br>The analysis of the environmental status of Stalowa Wola county during the years 2018 to 2020 is presented, accompanied by recommendations for initiatives that could enhance its condition. The research findings indicate that the condition of&nbsp;uniform segments of surface waters, as evaluated through conducted studies, is&nbsp;deemed poor. The discharge of wastewater from specific pollution points, particularly wastewater from municipal origins, emerges as the predominant cause of subpar water quality.</span></span></p> 2024-03-08T17:47:43+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Civil Engineering, Environment and Architecture
