Sveikos ir harmoningos gyvenamosios ir darbo aplinkos išsaugojimas plečiant miestus

Abstracts

EN

The article discusses densification of fully urbanised territories, which causes deterioration of living conditions for tenants of neighbouring houses (third parties) due to the negative impact of construction on local environment. Specifically, detection of fundamental right violations during territorial planning is in focus, because not only third parties but also future tenants of the house being constructed suffer loss of healthy and harmonious work and recreational environment as a direct result of such violations. A classifier of fundamental right violations during territorial planning was developed for that purpose. The judicial practice was analysed; persons authorised to contest environmental violations under the Law on Administrative Proceedings and the scope of their authorisation were determined.

Nagrinėjama, kaip tankinant urbanizuotų teritorijų užstatymą pabloginamos aplinkinių namų gyventojų (trečiųjų asmenų) gyvenimo sąlygos dėl neigiamo statybos poveikio vietinei aplinkai. Ypatingas dėmesys skiriamas esminių teisių pažeidimams nustatyti planuojant teritorijas, nes šie pažeidimai daro tiesioginę įtaką sveikos ir harmoningos bei ir poilsio aplinkos praradimui ne tik tretiesiems asmenims, bet ir būsimiems naujai statomo namo gyventojams. Tam tikslui sudarytas esminių teisių pažeidimų planuojant teritorijas klasifikatorius. Išnagrinėta teismų praktika ir nustatyta, kas ir kokia apimtimi gali užginčyti administracinių bylų teisenos įstatymo nustatyta tvarka pažeidimus aplinkosaugos klausimais. Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos trečiųjų asmenų teisių į sveiką ir harmoningą gyvenamąją bei darbo aplinką išsaugojimo problemos vykdant statybas urbanizuotose teritorijose. Išnagrinėta Lietuvos Respublikos trečiųjų asmenų teisių į sveiką ir harmoningą gyvenamąją bei darbo aplinką gynimo teismų praktika, aptartas viešojo ir privataus intereso santykis šioje srityje. Nustatyti pagrindiniai galimi pažeidimai planuojant statybas, sudarytas šių pažeidimų klasifikatorius.
