Abstract

Based on the experiment of 2004-2013 the possibility of using plants in the information and the managerial apparatus of the city have been analyzed (on the example of Donetsk). Aspects of the urban environment where the plants in their indicative properties can optimize analytical measures in addressing environmental programs have been highlighted: functional zoning of the urban environment, the efficiency of public services, the level of contamination of soil and air pollution, predictive planning of new urban areas. Signs of plants for the implementation of the monitoring study have been shown.
