Impact of construction intensity on ecological and economic security of a forest complex

The current level of construction in terms of the number of housing commissioned is the highest in the entire history of Russia. The intensity of housing construction increases the demand for timber products, and consequently, activates the production of timber and the intensity of deforestation to cover the demand from developers and the population. The growth of "spot" multi-storey buildings (on example of Primorsky Krai of Russia) is accompanied by massive deforestation for the preparation of construction sites, which poses threats to the environmental safety of the region. Problem area: uncontrolled deforestation, pollution of water resources and the atmosphere, the intensity of activity and improvement of economic security indicators of the forest complex have a negative impact on biodiversity, and consequently, threats to the environmental security of all regions are created. During the research, project tools were used: grouping hypotheses about the existence of problems, an Athenian diagram. Along with the design tools, general scientific (analysis, synthesis) research methods were used to ensure the reliability of the research results and the validity of the conclusions. The research hypothesis: the environmental safety of the industry and the region as a whole depends on the level of state control and effective management of the forest complex. The practical aspect of the state of ensuring the economic security of the forest complex is presented by analyzing statistical data on forest fires, reforestation, as well as identified threats to environmental safety.
