A Method for Identifying and Resolving Conflicts in Urban Riverside Development

Today, the urban riverside is prone to conflict; it is a location in the direst the need of preserving the environment and optimizing environmental management. This paper proposes a mechanism for resolving the conflicts that may arise when developing a riverside. The river and the riverside are crucial to high-quality natural and anthropogenic systems in any kind of settlement. The riverside is not only an important natural and recreational resource; it can also compensate for the anthropogenic environmental damage. However, it is also susceptible to intense anthropogenic impact associated with suboptimal use of coastal areas, deterioration of green spaces, and a considerable reduction in the areas suitable for recreation. To resolve the existing urban conflicts pertaining to the riverside, this paper proposes an ecological stabilization method that can create a holistic territorial complex to merge the necessary natural and anthropogenic components. The method is based on identifying urban conflicts and their parties, on finding a middle ground that will fit all of them while also preserving the ecological backbone. The method helps adapt riversides to the interests and values of all urban parties, protect the water reservoirs from intense anthropogenic impact, and improve the ecological conditions.
