Shelestov // The 13th IEEE International Conference on Dependable Systems, Services and Technologies, DESSERT’2023, [Athens], 13-15 October, 2023. - Athens, 2023. - P. 1-5.https://ela.kpi.ua/handle/123456789/64923In this work, the authors developed an initial algorithm for assessing the quality of life in rural areas of Ukraine using the aggregation of heterogeneous geospatial information. The approach consists in a comprehensive assessment of the remoteness of the village from vital infrastructure facilities (hospitals, educational institutions, banks, libraries, shops, roads, power lines, etc.), to natural ecosystems (water bodies, forests or parks), as well as to occupied territories. The obtained results show that the largest number of villages with a depressed quality of life are located in the eastern and southern territories of the country, and with a positive quality - mainly in the west and central Ukraine. This, of course, is partly related to active hostilities, but considering that the proposed algorithm works based on the analysis of distances to various objects, it can be concluded that the war only worsened the condition of life in the villages.ensmart villagelife qualitygeospatial analysisArticleP. 1-5https://doi.org/10.1109/DESSERT61349.2023.10416517
