landscape design

Purpose. Review of world and domestic experience of ecological reconstruction of cultural land-scapes. Methods. System analysis, a method of objective assessment using photofixation. Results. The examples of successful ecological reconstruction of cultural landscapes, realized thanks to the preservation of the historical context, the concept of respect for the “genius loci” as a meta-phorical subject, which retains the unique characteristics of cultural landscapes and at the same time in-spires the creation of landscapes of high aesthetic expressiveness and modern functionality, are consid-ered. Conclusions. The above examples demonstrate the unlimited potential of landscape design in over-coming human alienation from nature, in filling the urban environment with a full life, in the successful branding of cities, and, as a result, in attracting tourists and investments. Such successful modern projects of revitalization and ecological reconstruction are possible when respect for the historical heritage, the historical cultural landscape is realized, when the “genius loci” is reborn and manifests itself as a meta-phorical subject, on the one hand, preserving the unique characteristics of the transformed cultural land-scapes, and on the other, the inspirer of giving landscapes a high aesthetic expressiveness, concentration of beauty, modern functionality.

Purpose. Scientific and practical justification for the introduction of plantings of ornamental perennial cereals and roses of a landscape group in the urban system of the Shevchenkovsky district, Kharkov. Methods For inventory of lawn stands, ArcGIS software was used. The basis for creating an inventory map of lawn stands was two basic maps - “Basemap Imagery” and “OpenStreetMap. The calculation of the total area of the research objects was carried out by using the Attribute Table. Assessment of the design coverage and constitutional structure of the species composition of lawn stands was carried out by A. A. Laptev and E. V. Avdeev. Observation of the ecological state of urban rose gardens was carried out by route examination, the presence of pathologies was determined visually. To determine the optimization measures, the SWOT analysis method was used. Results. An inventory map of urban lawn stands was developed. According to the results of a visual assessment, the T. G. Shevchenko city garden is the standard of landscaping in many territories and has a high level of quality of lawn stands. "23 August" Square sections of lawn populations near the Botanical garden station metro, square on the Klochkovskaya street includes areas of lawn stands with an excellent, good, satisfactory and unsatisfactory level of quality. The surface of Sargin Yar is well planned, the sites have an excellent, good and satisfactory level of quality. Based on the results of lawn stands comprehensive assessment, maps of the quality levels of urban lawn stands for the main recreational zones of the Shevchenkovsky district have been developed. The use of decorative cereals in particular, the impregnation of cylindrical, Chinese Miscanthus, feather grass feather, cane falaris, lightning blue is proposed. Using the SWOT analysis method, the strengths and weaknesses of the lawn stands of the Shevchenkovsky district, the possibilities and risks of their creation are determined. According to the results of an integrated ecological assessment of the varieties of landscape roses "Cordula" and "Tornado", the feasibility of their use in urban gardening is shown. Keeping these varieties in container culture can positively affect the artistic expressiveness of the urban sulfur, will provide a "high concentration of beauty" and solve the problems of wintering. Conclusions. Taking into account the principle of relevance in order to minimize the cost of further supporting the urban landscape, it is possible to develop cost-effective projects for landscaping areas with an unsatisfactory level of quality of lawn cover using decorative cereals. The proposed types of cereal plants are resistant to environmental factors, unpretentious, require minimal maintenance, have a high aesthetic appeal and decorativeness, low cost of creation.
