The purpose of the research is to identify the causes of the destruction of the historical environment of cultural heritage objects, consisting either in the imperfection of the protection system itself, or in an insufficient methodological study of the methods for its application. For the purposes of the research, the following methods were used: archival-bibliographic, cartographic, analytical, field studies. Results are: the territorial-planning constituents of urban planning components to be protected are analyzed and existing methods for their conservation are evaluated.
