Identification of Potentially Unstable Areas by Engineering and Geological Processes Monitoring and Heritage Building Deformations

A geo-information approach identifies that 30.9% of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra's territory faces moderate hazard from engineering and geological processes, with 6.2% at potential risk due to intersecting dangerous conditions. The study maps vulnerability using square-by-square assessment and statistical analysis in ArcGIS, revealing threats to UNESCO-listed sites like the Near and Far Caves and Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. Preventive measures are recommended to mitigate hazards affecting these heritage buildings.
