Ecological and Energy Analysis of the Green Areas and the Surface Layer of Atmospheric Air in the Districts of the Kyiv City

Abstract

In this chapter, the calculation of the variant of the emergetic balance between green areas (natural component) and technogenic components (cost component) of the Kyiv city’s districts is carried out. The urboecosystem and its ordering can be considered as a result of plant photosynthesis and the life-sustaining ability of environmental factors together with the consumption of non-renewable resources and the further production of goods and services. Green area energy indicators were calculated for city districts in order to assess the balance of energy consumption and production within a year. Emergy is one kind of available energy that has been previously used directly or indirectly to produce a product or service. The following were used as indicators for the emergetic balance of the expenditure component: consumed energy, calculated in terms of the equivalent fuel, and energy of noise and electromagnetic radiation.
