Abstract. Dynamic changes of urban environment determined by fulfillment of multiple residential and public edifices, reclamation of vast spaces, massive reformation of former industrial, warehouse and port edifices, carry considerable possibilities for current formation of architecture and urbanization of spaces of increased comfort with optimal functional organization. Article is devoted to environmental aspects of territory acoustic pollution assessment in Rostov-on-Don.

The present article deals with the issues of elaboration and analysis of methods of rural areas planning within the framework of agro-industrial complex development in Rostov Region. In order to ensure a possibility of forward planning for the rural areas, a method of development planning for agro-industrial complex in the Russian Federation subject has been elaborated. This method consists of 5 stages and comprises analysis of agriculture development on both regional and federal levels, and foresees a transition onto the local level for each AIC object. Algorithm of land suitability for agricultural purposes underlies this method. This article describes all stages of algorithm implementation. One of the implementation stages is the identification of criteria for sustainable development of rural areas. Based on the mentioned criteria, and with the use of ArcGIS ESRI software, electronic maps demonstrating the natural resources potential, anthropogenic impact on the areas, and the existing situation regarding the development of agricultural industry branches in the region. Generation and analysis of electronic maps allowed to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the Rostov Region territory. This article also covers a calculation of functional ranking, based on which the territories of the utmost priority for agricultural industry development have been identified in the region.

The urgency of environmental technologies in the construction sector is evidenced by the current environmental conditions in the post-industrial period, the demand of the global community for the use of energy-saving technologies, underdevelopment, and existing development prospects of the relevant technologies in the Russian Federation. Article is devoted to application of green building standards of the former airport renovation in the Rostov-on-Don.

The article discusses the methodology for assessing the use of wind energy for the territory of the Russian Federation. Used in this case to determine the energy level of the development of the territory of municipal educational institutions. The main factors in the selection and implementation of renewable energy sources in residential construction are natural parameters, that is, the wind region. The basis for the assessment is the climate-forming factors of the territory. The considered system of assessing the territory was tested on the example of the Rostov region in the field of wind energy. Based on the maps built in ArcGIS ESRI, the territory of the Rostov Region is visually represented and its suitability is estimated for the introduction and development of wind energy source.
