The increasing of yield due to use of windbreaks protection could be for cereals about 16 %, sugar beet – 20 %, sunflower – 18 %, corn – 28 %. Importantly, economic benefits from using windbreaks starts since 10- 15 years old, including the covering the cost of creation. 12 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CURRENT STATE OF FORESTRY AND AGROFORESTRY IN UKRAINE (SWOT - analysis) Strengths Weaknesses 1.

  • Decision-Support System for Spatially Distributed Multi-Hazard Risk Analysis
    Decision-Support System for Spatially Distributed Multi-Hazard Risk Analysis Maryna Zharikovaa, Volodymyr Sherstjuka, Bohdan Sakovycha a Kherson National Technical University, 24 Berislav Road, Kherson, 73008, Ukraine Abstract The paper dwells on a dynamic spatially distributed model of multi-hazard risk analysis for critical infrastructure elements, which is meant to assess risk indecision-support systems. Multi-hazard risk is centered around a model of the socio-economic system, hazard dynamics model, a model of the dynamic vulnerability of critical infrastructure elements, and a model of multi-hazard risk assessment. The hazard dynamics model represents the knowledge about the dynamics of hazards, their interactions and cascading effects using plausible event-tree networks with the events having both temporal and spatial reference. Multi-hazard risk analysis model allows assessing integrated dynamic spatially distributed multi-hazard risk in decision-support systems dealing with a threat, vulnerability, damage, cascading and domino effects. The risk scenarios within the decision-support system can describe multi-hazard risk as a multitude of spatially distributed dynamic processes influenced by a various range of drivers. The practical use of the proposed model is also considered. Keywords1 Decision-support system, risk assessment, critical infrastructure, multi-hazard risk, risk scenario, cascading effect, domino effect, event. 1. Introduction Imagine our world being impeccable, without any disasters, losses and risks – it is hardly possible, isn’t it? Unfortunately, natural disasters are quite ubiquitous, and the forests, sabulous and marine areas, such as rivers, lakes or coasts are no exception. For instance, sandy or arenaceous areas suffer from erosion, which can provoke landslides or coastal fade; rivers and lakes may be prone to shallowing and drying out, and constructing dams on rivers cause coastal erosion and wildfires that make slopes and cliffs more susceptible to floods, sinkage, landslides, mudflows and so on.

    University of Tartu Faculty of Science and Technology Institute of Ecology and Earth Sciences Department of Geography Master’s thesis in Geoinformatics for Urbanised Society (30 ECTS) A GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation of the wind energy potential of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts of Ukraine Denys Dmytrenko Supervisor: PhD Ain Kull, Senior Research Fellow Approved for defence: Supervisor: Head of Department: Tartu 2020 Abstract (Annotation) The aim of the thesis is to determine regulations for wind farm siting in Ukraine and to create a suitability map of the most perspective region in terms of wind conditions. These regions are Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts (counties) of Ukraine. Legislation analysis was conducted for wind energy regulations in Ukraine. Analysis of foreign legislation was done in the aspects where the correspondent Ukrainian legislation doesn’t exist yet (e.g. about bird reserves). Otherwise, standards of international researchers were used. I made analysis of works of other researchers to define factors and distances for suitability map. The most important and commonly used factors are: settlements, road network, nature protection areas, bird reserves, power lines, railways, slope degree, airports, water bodies, wind speed and land use. Data is taken from different sources (open data, international, governmental), depending on quality. Methods used in my research are GIS analysis, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP). I chose the most important factors using MCDM method and graded them according to their importance using AHP method. Unsuitable areas excluded and maps for each criteria were made. As final result, two maps were created: Equal Weights map and map with factors graded by AHP.

  • The Impact of Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) on the Na- Tional Nature Parks, Biosphere and Naturе Reserves of the Steppe Zone and Crimean Mountains Within
    8 Palaearctic Grasslands (December 2018) Research Article DOI: 10.21570/EDGG.PG.39.8-14 The impact of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the Na- tional Nature Parks, Biosphere and Naturе Reserves of the Steppe Zone and Crimean Mountains within Ukraine Mykyta Peregrym1*, Erika Pénzesné Kónya1 & Oleksiy Vasyliuk2 1Eszterházy Károly University of Applied Sciences, Leanyka Str., 6, Eger, *) Corresponding author: [email protected] 3300, Hungary, [email protected] (M. Peregrym), [email protected] (E. Pénzesné Kónya) 2NGO “Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group”, Hoholya Str., 40, Vasylkiv, Kyiv region, 08600, Ukraine; [email protected] Palaearctic Grasslands 39 (2018): 8-14 Abstract: Artificial light at night (ALAN) and sky glow are a recognized anthropogenic pressure, but the consequences of this pressure on protected areas within Ukraine are unclear. This research attempted to estimate the level of light pollution on the protected territories of the National Nature Parks (NNPs), Biosphere and Nature Reserves in the Steppe Zone and Crimea Mountains of Ukraine. Kmz layers of these protected territories and the New World Atlas of Artificial Sky Brightness, through Google Earth Pro, were used to calculate the level of artificial sky brightness for 15 NNPs, three Biosphere Reserves and 10 Nature Reserves. The results show that even some of the most protected areas within the Steppe Zone and Crimean Mountains are impacted by ALAN. Of the studied protected areas 44.2% have a natural dark night sky, 40.1% have artificial brightness ranging between 8 and 16%, and the remainder (15.7%) are polluted with an artificial brightness greater than 16%.

  • Olbia – an Ancient Greek Town on the Northern Black Sea Coast
    Olbia – an ancient Greek town on the northern Black Sea coast Olbia lies at the mouth of the river Bug and was founded around 7 BC by colonists from Miletus. The excursion from Odessa to Olbia archaeological site takes you through incredible landscapes in the region of the southern Bug and the Dnieper. Both rivers were important waterways in ancient times and remain so today. The entire region is of enormous significance in terms of the ethnography of Ukraine. 1 A journey from Odessa to the archaeological excavations of an ancient Greek polis takes you through an amazing region of the Southern Ukraine: The Pobu- zhe (around the Southern Bug river) and the Podneprov’e (around the river Dnieper). These historically vital waterways are both a unique natural ecosys- tem and culturally sacred, central to the formation of the Ukrainian national identity. The polis Olbia was founded during the time of the great Greek colonisa- tion in the 6th century B.C. According to archaeologists, the father of history himself — Herodotus — settled here in 450 B.C. and composed the fourth vol- ume of his “Histories”, “Melpomene”. Alexander the Great’s army failed to take this city and it survived until the 4th century A.D., when it was destroyed by the Huns and never rebuilt. This fact makes it all the more valuable to academic study as it is one of very few ancient cities whose ruins were not covered by subsequent medieval settlements. One of the most intriguing topics to study in relation to the ancient Mediterranean world, is the establishment of mutual cooperation between the Hellenic and other peoples (the Barbarians).
