One of the most important measures to reduce the risk of natural and natural-technological disasters is the engineering-geological mapping of the city area, carried out in accordance with a group of geological factors such as topography, formulation and properties of rocks, hydrogeological conditions, geodynamic processes development, etc. On the territory of the city of Novocherkassk as well as in other areas of urban settlements in the Rostov region, the active development of devastating processes associated with the extensive spread of clayey soils with low values of high strength characteristics and high water cutting groundwater arrays, caused by both natural active processes and technogenic influence. After the research conducted, it was decided that the area of the city of Novocherkassk is divided into zones of geological risk. Thanks to the mapping of the territory, it is allowed to make the right architectural and planning decisions and exploit it with well-executed investments, with security requirements.
