2. Assessment of socio-economic factors (population, employment, social infrastructure).
3. Analysis of the existing spatial structure (type and density of buildings, functional purpose of zones).
4. Study of transport and engineering infrastructure (roads, water and electricity supply networks, sewerage, communications).
5. Identification of environmental constraints and risks (flood zones, protected areas, pollution).
6. SWOT-analysis (strengths and weaknesses of the territory, opportunities and risks).
