Research on the Impact of Transportation on Greenery in the Urban Envıronment

The main purpose of this study is to scientifically analyze the impact of the development of transport systems on urban and peri-urban greenery against the background of the urbanization process, to determine the negative effects of transport activity on ecosystems, biodiversity, and the ecological sustainability of the urban environment, and to investigate the possibilities of forming an optimal transport-greenery balance in the context of sustainable urban development. Research method: The study used a systematic approach, comparative analysis, and content analysis methods. Official statistical data, scientific articles, and reports of the European Union and international organizations were analyzed to assess the relationship between transport and greenhouse gas emissions, air and noise pollution, land use, and the reduction of greenery. Research results: The study found that the expansion of the transport sector leads to the reduction of urban greenery, the fragmentation of ecosystems, and an increase in the ecological load. Despite technological advances, the increase in the overall intensity of transport limits the reduction of ecological impacts.
