Abstract
Development of natural lands for recreational purposes generates an increasing human impact. The monitoring results show development of slope erosion processes on the surface of slopes, which can generate gullies and landslides, impeding a sustainable land development and requiring additional operational costs at recreational and sports facilities. The article contains the basic results of a theoretical and experimental research and the monitoring data, which will allow us to justify the design of anti-erosion protection at recreational and sports facilities. The research has shown the efficiency of the use of geocomposite systems represented by a combination of structural elements and a biotic constituent. The efficiency of such approach is proven by the geotechnical monitoring data on specific facilities situated in Moscow Region.
Highlights
The growing rates of urbanization require a new dynamic development of recreational areas for satisfying the people’s social need for recreation, sports, tourism and entertainment, and for ensuring a sustainable land development
Rich forest vegetation combined with varied landscape and favorable natural and climatic conditions allow to create a high-performance resort and recreation system, including large-scale facilities of ski and other complexes, in Dmitrovsky district, Moscow Region
The anti-erosion protection consisted in a complex of activities, including the following: creating a surface runoff with water discharge into the protected channels of gullies produced, stabilizing the slopes by sowing grass and bushes
Summary
The growing rates of urbanization require a new dynamic development of recreational areas for satisfying the people’s social need for recreation, sports, tourism and entertainment, and for ensuring a sustainable land development. Additional soil embankments and excavations, as well as lake dams are created on the territory of ski complexes, allowing to do water sports andto ensure their use in summertime, for example, Sorochany ski complex Such recreational facilities essentially modify natural areas or areas affected by business activity, becoming a powerful human impact resulting in the generation of secondary natural landscapes where degradation, but destruction of the soil and vegetation cover is observed.On an artificial landscape surface, the process of natural regeneration of the vegetation cover is slow, which is determined by natural and climatic conditions.
