The article is devoted to the method of calculating the urban environment quality index on the territory of the Russian Federation. The authors reviewed the existing methodology for calculating the urban environment quality index of cities, and made a comparative analysis of statistical data and sample research materials on this issue. As a result, some discrepancies were found in the calculation of the following indicators: “the share of green areas”, “attractiveness of green areas”, “variety of services in green areas”.
The article proposes a method for calculating the indicator: “the share of green areas” and a model for adjusting the following indicators: “attractiveness of green areas”, “variety of services in green areas”. Application of this method and adjustment of indicators will not only lead to changes in the calculation of the urban environment quality index for the city of Barnaul and for other cities of the Russian Federation, but will also allow to “qualitatively” evaluate Russian cities by the level of improvement and comfort of living of residents. Thus, Federal authorities will be able to provide targeted assistance to municipalities in areas where there is an urgent need.
