Abstract: The subject of the study is the territory of the Amur region. The study assesses the urban development opportunities of the territory taking into account risk factors. The region is located in the South of the Far East and has a fairly long border with China. It is now for urban development is becoming more priority model-simulation forecasting, so the main thing in forecasting is the creation of dynamic models of individual settlement systems, but taking into account their interaction in General. This is especially true of the border region, where the process of modeling and forecasting should be implemented bilaterally, and specifically in the conditions of the far Eastern region - from the Russian and Chinese sides. Therefore, it is important to investigate and analyze all possible risk factors of the territory, which is a space with a special development regime, with certain urban development opportunities and potential. The analysis took into account current trends and features in the formation and settlement. For the analysis and assessment of urban development opportunities of the territory the system method is applied. The novelty lies in the fact that for the first time the assessment of the urban development opportunities of the Amur region as a completely unique territory was carried out.

Abstract: This work deals with such topical issues as digital painting and digital art, which have become popular in recent decades around the world. The problems of contemporary art are similar to the problems of digital art, which will be discussed in the article. It also examines the possibilities of computer technology in the visual arts and analyzes the works of foreign and domestic artists who work in computer graphics using traditional techniques of pictorial images. Theoretical methods of research of available information, systematization and analysis, empirical study of artists ' works on the research topic. Digital painting has just begun to develop and be studied, so not much research is conducted in this area. In my work, I fully disclose the topic of the problems of digital painting. Digital painting is a new step in contemporary art, it continues to develop and expand its capabilities. It gives a new look at the exhibition system. A different attitude to the works, for which no one pays, and which have the opportunity to look at everyone.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the waste of the woodworking industry, which can be used for production of construction materials for small and medium-sized housing. The author focuses on the recycling of byproducts and waste, which has gained importance in the recent years. Despite the decline in the production of wood processing enterprises, the amount of waste from wood processing remains large. The increase of production and expansion of the range of insulation materials and products, disposal of waste wood processing company is an urgent task, which can be partially solved by organizing the production of building materials and products based on wood waste. This research employs analytical descriptive method for the study of theoretical materials; methods of theoretical analysis of literature and methods of studying and generalizing domestic practice; economic calculation method; general scientific methods, namely analysis, interpretation, analogy, induction, deduction. This article reveals the features of the chemical composition of sawdust, its processing, the process of production of building materials based on them, and the subsequent use in the construction of buildings and structures. The processing and utilization of waste from wood industry with positive research and experiments results will be of great importance for the current construction industry as a whole.
