MODIFIED METHOD FOR ASSESSING STABILITY OF LANDSCAPE COMPLEXES

Abstract

A modified method of assessing stability of landscape complex is developed, taking into account
the degree of interaction of this complex with the environment. Stability criteria are compared
with numerical characteristics of a qualitative assessment of the level of correspondence of the
complex properties and characteristics of the environment. To obtain the initial information we
should use a statistical method of expert assessment with the justification of this choice for this type
of tasks. The subsequent statistical processing of the obtained initial data on the properties of the
landscape complex makes it possible to obtain a quantitative characteristic of the degree of stability
of the complex. The proposed method considering the degree of integration of landscape complex
into the natural environment significantly improves the accuracy of the stability assessment, which
helps to reduce the number of errors in its construction and operation as well as to improve the accuracy
of forecasting the life periods of landscape complexes. The main provisions of this method can
be used in constructing a factorial model of a landscape complex.
