Оценка обеспеченности зеленой инфраструктурой жителей арк­тического города (на примере Надыма)

Abstract

Based on remote sensing data, the authors consider the features of the formation and use of green spaces in the city of Nadym (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area). They give a detailed assessment of the availability of green infrastructure for the inhabitants of Nadym based on a comparison of the spatial distribution of vegetation and the urban population. During the construction of the city, there was a dramatic reduction in the area of vegetation cover, which reached its maximum during active construction in the 1980s. After the completion of the main construction stage and until now, there has been a steady increase in the share of vegetation, which is explained by active landscaping activities against the backdrop of climate softening. The authors have find out that while maintaining the high availability of open green spaces within the city, the main lack of vegetation is observed within the residential development of microdistricts. The methodology for the integrated use of medium and ultra-high resolution space images, UAV surveys, detailed mapping of residential buildings and field geobotanical descriptions tested during the study can be used in a detailed analysis of the state of the green infrastructure of other cities in the north of Western Siberia. In general, the assessment of the green infrastructure availability in the Arctic cities is of great importance for urban planning, allowing to fully take into account the regional environmental needs of local residents, in the context of the heterogeneity of their distribution.
