Abstract
At present, in many regions of the Russian Federation, in particular in the Saratov Region, coastal and insular recreation areas are in poor condition, both in the populated locality and in the suburban area. Today, they are inexpressive, compact, dispersed, or monotonous long-linear spaces with damaged green plantings and vegetation cover. The present study analyzes the coastal and insular recreation areas located in the city of Engels and its suburbs. The article identifies the main types of coastal and insular recreation areas, their compositional systems, areas (in ha), recreational load, average distances from the city districts to the analyzed recreation zones. The authors carried out monitoring of recreation coasts in order to determine the predominant types of green plantings. In the end of the article, the major conclusions are formulated.
Highlights
In many regions of the Russian Federation coastal and insular recreation areas are in poor condition, both in the populated locality and suburban area
We have established a typology of recreation areas in the structure of coastal and insular territories and divided the territories into five types: riverwalks; short-term recreation areas on the banks of the Volga River; short-term recreation areas near lakes; beach areas; and long-term recreation areas on islands and lakes
In the course of analysis we identified the types of compositional systems and their features, taking into account the data on the areas of recreation zones and the length of their shorelines
Summary
In many regions of the Russian Federation coastal and insular recreation areas are in poor condition, both in the populated locality and suburban area. Various aspects of the coastal areas were investigated: 1) landscape and architectural space formation [3, 4, 6]; 2) ecological optimization of the recreational environment, approaches to landscape design and landscaping systems’ formation principles [3, 4]; 3) study of the landscape from the viewpoint of the organization of recreational activities [7]; 4) functional organization of recreational territories, the definition of recreational potential and types of recreational activities; 5) geomorphological analysis of the coastal zones of large city landscapes, environmental and aesthetic issues of coastal landscapes of the Saratov Region and landscaping in general; 6) methods and means of landscape design, landscaping elements and improvement of coastal zones. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the main problem of coastal and insular areas consists in a small range of green plantings’ types. This requires monitoring of the declared territories
