Abstract
The expansion of megacities leads to the isolation of a large part of their population from the environment. The lack of contact with nature contributes to the development of ecological frustrations and deprivations, unconscious sense of discomfort, which is the cause of the development of a wide range of dangerous diseases, reduction of the birth rate and degradation of the urban population. A solution to this problem can be the organization of a network of recreation places for the urban population (resorts, created on the basis of the preserved elements of the hydrographic network). Positive perception of water objects by human consciousness is one of the main means of ecological relaxation, removal of psychological stress from constant stay in anthropogenic environment. At the same time, resorts should meet the needs of all main social groups. They should include both ecological relaxation zones and places of active recreation . Particular attention is paid to the organization of environmental education activities. Private cases of recreational use of the city’s water bodies are also possible, such as attracting cave explorers to study the underground rivers. In general, resorts based on urban water bodies should become a public space, covering the entire inhabited territory of the metropolis. The system of assessing the social significance of Moscow’s water bodies is developed on the basis of their comprehensive survey. Analysis of their current state takes into account general patterns of historical development of hydrographic networks of the city, and the requirements of the population to the appearance of public spaces created on water bodies of the city and to assess their social significance.
Highlights
When using water objects as the central link of a city resort, it is necessary to shift the function of accumulation and assignment of drains from them to the technical systems, which are specially created for this purpose
- to involve different age groups in the work on the territory; - to organize excursions and extracurricular activities for children and adolescents to get acquainted with the flora and fauna; - to conduct public discussions of the ecology of the urban environment
The remained sites of hydrographic network of the megalopolis can become the basis for the creation of a city resort system
Summary
The continuous growth of the population of our planet is followed by the increase in the urbanized territories scales. As for the considered case the development of a compromise solution between the growth of the cities and the need of creation of favorable conditions for people has to go through forming of the resort network (sites for mass rest with elements of the environment) [3]. Those have to be public spaces, accessible for the megalopolis population. The solution of such a task demands an innovation creative approach [5], which main objective is not the improvement of the territory, surrounding water object, but the possibility of its use for the requirements satisfaction of people in contact with the environment elements
