| Title | The environmental approach in restoration processes during the Russian War in Ukraine |
| Summary | This thesis study analyses how an environmental approach, which includes risk assessment and identification of territory vulnerabilities, can be integrated into strategic spatial planning, which is necessary for the recovery of the country in the conditions of war and can be used by the government of Ukraine to plan the recovery process and what opportunities the country has after the war. Also, the study analyses the evolution of the nature of wars from the time of the PSV to today, as it influenced changes in the world's perception of the threats of the consequences for the environment and climate change. The study tells about the situation surrounding the state of the environment during the reconstruction processes of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and how this experience can be helpful in Ukraine. To formulate research questions and hypotheses, the thesis uses the method of personal interviews with people involved in the processes of reconstruction and development of Ukraine, and also uses methods of geospatial assessment of the landscape, using the example of the Lubotyn territorial community in the Kharkiv region in Ukraine, to answer the research question on the integration of environmental issues into spatial planning. The main conclusions of the work are how an environmental approach can have a positive effect on ensuring the stability and sustainability of the recovery of Ukraine for building a fair post-war development and protecting the environment for strengthening the issue of national security. The discussion section summarises the thesis research and indicates directions for further deepening the research. |
