Conditions for Determining Airport Locations in terms of Population Protection

A fundamental task of government is to protect the population and to ensure the safety of its territory. Preparing zoning plans and documentation specifying the requirements for land use also contributes to the safety of territory. Public infrastructure is inter alia defined in territorial planning documentation and includes transport infrastructure, such as the construction of roads, railways, waterways, airports and any associated equipment. In planning the location of an airport, zone planning requirements, the impact on the environment and operational safety requirements must be taken into account. The article describes the ground planning, breakdown and definition of territorial planning documentation. A description of assessing, designing and locating an airport follows. Security in the vicinity of airports provided by protective zones of aviation structures is also examined. The requirements placed on airport locations are linked to the requirements for population protection.
