Abstract

Impact of social and environmental factors on urban transport systems and the approach to their integrated assessment are considered in the article. At the case of Astana city it is shown that, along with important infrastructure functions, urban transport is one of the main polluters of atmospheric air in the city. Integrated assessment of socio-environmental factors on the base of the aggregate normalized index allows to identify areas of the city with the most favorable or stressful environmental conditions. These results also form the basis for elaboration of recommendations to improve the efficiency of the urban transportation system.

Keywords

urban transport system, integrated assessment, normalized index, socio-environmental factors.
