Methods of evaluating yard area development in the context of urbanization

The article is dedicated to the issue of evaluating yard area quality of apartment buildings. According to the analysis of methods of evaluating quality of the urban environment as well as the analysis of urban residents, we have determined the factors contributing to the quality of yard areas and determining satisfaction of residents with their living environment. Using the method of qualimetry, we calculated weight coefficients of various factors from the point of view of their significance to urban residents. We suggest comprehensively evaluating yard area quality using significance (weight) coefficients. The results will allow defining a set of measures intended to improve yard area quality. From the point of view of their significance to urban residents, these coefficients may be used in the housing pricing policy.
