The systemic–structural analysis of the scale of destruction and the spatial–functional characteristics of damaged objects is a comprehensive research approach aimed at thoroughly assessing destructive processes that arise as a result of military actions, natural disasters, or technological accidents. It is based on the integration of spatial, engineering–technical, and functional parameters, which makes it possible to reconstruct an accurate picture of transformations within a territorial system. At the core of the methodology lies the combination of geoinformation technologies, remote sensing of the Earth, mathematical modelling, and object-based image analysis, which ensure the identification of destruction based on spectral, morphological, and topological features.
The analytical process begins with the collection of spatial data: satellite imagery, aerial photography, and field inspections. The next stage involves classifying objects by the level of destruction and by functional groups, which allows the systemic role of each element to be determined and the consequences of its loss to be assessed. Special attention is given to analysing the functional significance of residential, industrial, transport, and energy-related structures, as these form the foundation of the urbanised system. Damage to objects of different types is evaluated through indices of recoverability, logistical importance, energy dependency, and systemic criticality.
The study examines approaches to assessing spatial–functional disruptions using topological models in which infrastructural objects are represented as graph nodes and their interconnections as weighted edges. The functional integrity of the system is determined through coefficients of connection preservation and integral indicators of functional stability, which make it possible to evaluate the depth of destructive impacts. To improve accuracy, models accounting for the loss of both direct and indirect links are applied. Systemic–structural analysis also includes the forecasting of cascade effects – situations in which the destruction of one element triggers a chain reaction of degradation in neighbouring subsystems. As a result, a comprehensive model is formed that enables the determination of recovery priorities, the evaluation of systemic vulnerability, and the identification of critical elements upon which territorial stability depends.
