city!
Recommendations to the city government
Potential strategies for the solving
of environmental problems depend on following main factors:
-
Natural features of Tbilisi area,
i.e. topography, drainage and air ventilation should be taken into
account for the cleaning of damaged sites from
the pollution;
-
There is big difference in income between different
layers of the city population (1-5% live with very high income,
others close to the poverty level). This forces population by inadequate basic
services;
-
Spatial
distribution of environmental problems is very diverse: water and
air pollution problems are city-wide and could be attributed to
the city management authorities, while basic environmental services:
household, neighborhood, community issues, could be solved by
public and NGO's;
-
The role of local authorities is crucial in
Tbilisi environmental degradation, while there are no positive changes
yet.
There exist urgent need
in action: Tbilisi Environmental Zoning Plan, as a result of
negotiation process, with participatory approach should be
elaborated.
