ASSESSMENT OF MATERIAL DAMAGE OF ABRASIVE AND LANDSLIDE PROCESSES EFFECT IN MUNICIPALITIES IN THE COASTAL ZONE OF THE SEA OF AZOV

The paper deals with assessing of the material damage caused by the occurrence of abrasion and landslide processes in the municipalities of the Sea of Azov coastal zone on the example of the Rostov Region. The authors identified a zone of impact of abrasive processes according to the average long-term abrasion rates in the future for a 20-year period, within which 73 capital construction objects and structures for various purposes are subject to the risk of complete or partial destruction. The loss of land from abrasion in the coastal zone of the Rostov Region, including the coastal Neklinovskiy and Azov rural administrative districts, averages 23 m2 per 1 running km over 20 years. The value of the projected total damage to socio-economic objects is 150 million rubles. The main damage from abrasion in the Neklinovskiy district is associated with the possible destruction of construction facilities and infrastructure, while in the Azov district – with the land plots for various economic purposes. Polyakovskoe and Novobessergenevskoe rural settlements in the Neklinovskiy district of the Rostov Region with a large number of capital construction objects, infrastructure, and high cadastral value of land can be endamaged to the maximum extent. The main damage of Semibalkovskoe rural settlement in the Azov district can be caused by the abrasive destruction of the land of settlements. Semibalkovskoe, Novobessergenevskoe and Natalyevskoe rural settlements are the leaders in terms of the specific value of land loss. Administrations can use the results of the work for making management decisions to prevent dangerous coastal processes at the regional and local levels.
