A functional model for assessing the recreational potential of urban green areas using geoinformation technologies

Abstract

In today's urbanized world, the recreational space of cities provides the population with objects of natural nature. They ensure the environmental sustainability of the natural and urban environment and provide the population with a comfortable urban environment. The recreational space of the city is interconnected and interdependent with recreational activities in the existing recreational framework. Its quality directly depends on the quality of the existing recreational framework and the variety of recreational activities that occur in it. The purpose of the study is to determine the functional model of the assessment of the recreational frame of the city. The object of research is the recreational framework of the city. To achieve this goal, the methods of comparative analysis, generalization, structural and functional approach were used. The authors considered some theoretical ideas about the elements of urban recreational framework. They give the definition of the term "recreational frame" and identify the indicators of assessment of green areas of the recreational framework of the city, affecting the quality of life of the urban population. The authors substantiate the impact of indicators on the quality of life of the population and propose a functional model for the assessment of the recreational framework of the city.

Evaluating Urban Green Public Spaces: The Case Study of Krasnodar Region Cities, Russia

“…Today in Russia, there is only one such standard-the supply of green public land per person. However, foreign researchers offer a number of additional indicators that describe it both qualitatively and quantitatively [7,13,17,19,31,32,34,35]. This study witnesses that the use of only one parameter, the sufficiency one, does not describe the GreenPS backbone.…”

“…Today, worldwide, the evaluation of the city's territorial space development mainly uses mathematic models of collecting and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data [7,13,17,19,31,32,34,35]. In Russia, a lack of quantitative data makes qualitative data analysis more usual [5,9,11,15,16,21,36].…”

Assessment of Recreational Potential Dendrological Collections of the Federal Scientific Centre of Agroecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences

“…Dendrological collections and forest plantations of the FSC Agroecology RAS, located in the cities of Volgograd and Kamyshin, Volgograd Region, are significant elements of the natural-ecological framework and perform, among other things, recreational functions, which are determined by the need to meet the needs of the population for recreation, restoration of vitality, physical, emotional and spiritual, healing in the natural environment (Semenyutina et al, 2015;Kaixuan et al, 2020;Brasales et al, 2019;Koshelev et al, 2024).…”

An approach to the understanding of sustainable tourism through a linear regression

“…All this led to an understanding of being able to industrialize tourism but also ensuring environmental sustainability and improving the quality of the environment in which people live. (Brazales & Koroleva, 2019). Despite the fact that "it is also worth highlighting the theoretical and practical difficulties when it is necessary to value environmental goods and flows and human and social capital, due to the lack of adequate statistical data for their estimation" ( Hernández et al, 2019: 908).…”
