ON SOME FEATURES OF THE REGULATORY AND LEGAL ASPECTS OF CREATION OF IZHEVSK MEDICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ATLAS

Abstract

The article considers one of the possible ways to implement the constitutional right of citizens to reliable information about the state of the environment. Environmental monitoring carried out on the territory of Izhevsk by the state and departmental organizations is extremely limited in the territorial and time aspect. Monitoring results are usually published only in specialized annual reports, or are provided to citizens on a paid basis. Publication of the Izhevsk Medical and Environmental Atlas and its availability to a wide range of interested citizens, both at the professional and consumer level, corresponds to three main conditions for environmental protection: scientific and expert support, public control and public awareness. The article reflects the regulatory considerations of creating the atlas, gives its brief structural and content characteristics, and provides examples of component-wise and integrated large-scale maps. Some results of zoning of the city microdistricts by the level of medical and environmental well-being are also presented, taking into account the territorial distribution of such indicators as the level of morbidity of the child population, the complex index of air pollution, noise pollution from traffic flows and the area of green spaces.
