ინვაირონმენტალისტური კინო და სამართლიანი საზოგადოების პრინციპები

The UN Summit on Climate Change in Paris was held in 2015, at which the Framework Convention was signed by many countries around the world, including Georgia. The document is the basis of the EU Green Agreement, which was approved in 2019 and which doubles the commitment of Georgia, a member of the Eastern Partnership, to promote a green economy and culture, which not only is not the case but on the example of Namakhvani HPP reveals the fact that the country has been arranged according to a wrong economic model. Cinema is the medium that has the most outstanding ability to reorganize the world and, therefore, has great potential. Cinema, as the screen of discourses best reflects a culture that stands out from the point of view of consumer values alike to ordinary people and nature, the environment, ecology. Marx's theory of fetishism, which has evolved since the advent of the term ideology, well explains the attitude of the culture towards natural (or human) resources. We must not forget that a culture that is a conglomerate of discourses, and like discourses, it is produced by ideology (superstructure). Ideology possesses the intellectual levers through which the dominant forces, the classes, are established by presenting the values of this class as the "norm". Culture, therefore, is directed to save the verticals of power by concealing problems, or by telling incomplete truth. Nevertheless, it is a culture that implies confrontation with the laws of nature and discourses based on those laws. However, first and foremost, capitalist ideology seeks to adapt thought systems to itself, including culture. Georgian cinema has always had an ideological line, but in the 1960’s the process of devaluation of communism in intellectual and creative circles shifted the focus to the problem of individualism. For example, in several of Merab Kokochashvili's films, the mainline is drawn between the relationship of the individual and the environment, where the apparatus (state) is presented only as a clear source of evil. It is regulations that create the environmental context that is the only way to stop profit-oriented destructive systems. Neither competition nor individual or corporate responsibility can solve ecological disasters and human exploitation problems. In modern Georgian cinema, there are more and more attempts to extract a broader holistic picture of the impact on the environment. Salome Jashi explores the whim of the richest Georgian - the passion for arranging a dendrological park with centuries-old trees, which is a class catastrophe along with an ecological catastrophe. Alexander Koberidze's "What do we see when we look at the sky?" asks the main question, "What do we answer our children" when they discover that they live in an unjust world that is sacrificed to the greed of a small number of people in power.

LANDSCAPE DIVERSITY OF THE NATIONAL DENDROLOGICAL PARK "SOFIYIVKA" OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF UKRAINE

The article reveals the landscape diversity of the historical garden and park landscape – the National Dendrological Park "Sofiyivka" of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in the city of Uman, Cherkasy region, founded in 1796-1800. In the classification of landscape gardening landscapes, developed by the Ukrainian landscape architect, doctor of biological sciences Rubtsov L.I., 6 types of landscapes are distinguished. The landscape of the NDP "Sofiyivka", as an object of landscape gardening art, belongs to the group of anthropogenic landscapes and is classified as a cultural, recreational, slightly modified landscape (historical core of the park) and modified landscape (Grekova and Lesnaya beams). On the territory of the arboretum, all types of landscape gardening landscapes are presented: forest, park, meadow, garden, regular, alpine landscapes. Most of the historical core of the park is occupied by the park landscape; the forest landscape has been preserved closer to the boundaries of the arboretum. The meadow landscape exists both at the bottom of the beams and in elevated places, such as on the Fungus lawn. The garden type of landscape is presented in the English Park, created in 1890 91 by Pashkevich V.V. and in a series of new monocultural gardens (of lilacs, magnolias, maples, chrysanthemums, dahlias, daylilies, hosts, etc.). The Kamyanka River is an alpine (or mountainous) type of garden and park landscape due to natural granite outcrops and shifted boulders. Examples of the regular landscape are the amphitheater, alleys, greenery protection strips, as well as the regularly planned area of the new entrance to the arboretum from the street Kyivskaya with a fountain and a rosary. These garden and park landscapes of the arboretum "Sofiyivka" are the most valuable natural ecosystem formations within the arboretum, which must be preserved and maintained accordance with the strategic principles of ecological unity and reproduction of natural resources.

Otsenka sovremennogo sostoyaniya i arkhitekturno-planirovochnaya kontseptsiya razvitiya dendrologicheskogo parka v Novosibirske [Current state and architectural planning concept of dendrological park development in Novosibirsk

The paper presents the methodology and comprehensive study of the development of the Dendrological Park in Novosibirsk. A set of measures should be developed to preserve the unique natural territory in the dynamically developing urban planning system in the anthropogenic conditions. Methodology includes making photographs, geo-positioning, structural and functional analysis, questionnaires, geoinformation, statistical and graphic analyses, and dendrological assessment. The current state of the Dendrological Park is studied, including its natural areas, urban recreational spaces, transport and pedestrian accessibility for the population. It is shown that the Dendrological Park has a significant recreational potential, natural diversity, unique natural landscapes and valuable collections. The disadvantages include the absence of a full-fledged recreational infrastructure, inconsistent meeting the safety and accessibility requirements. The Dendrological Park requires restoration and development. The Dendrological Park can be used for walking, educational, health-improving rest and other recreational measured without damaging the protected natural areas and objects. The architectural and planning concept is proposed for the development of the Dendrological Park.

NATURAL RESERVE FUND AND ECOLOGICAL NETWORK OF THE CITY OF KHMELNYTSKYI AND THEIR ROLE IN PRESERVING BIOTIC AND LANDSCAPE DIVERSITY

History, quantitative and qualitative indicators of the natural reserve fund of the city of Khmelnytskyi have been studied. As of January 1, 2022, the natural reserve fund of the city of Khmelnytskyi includes 22 natural reserves territories with a total area of 191,7558 hectares, which is 2,06 % of the city’s area. Among the categories of the natural reserve fund in the city of Khmelnytskyi there are 16 botanical monuments of nature, 3 parks-monuments of horticultural art: «Mykhailo Chekman Park», «T.H. Shevchenko Square», «Zarichchia»; dendrological parks «Podillia» and «Yunnativskyi» and the Botanical Garden of the Khmelnytskyi National University. According to the status of natural reserved territories and objects of the city of Khmelnytskyi, they belong only to local importance. Among all natural reserve territories of the city of Khmelnytskyi, the largest area is occupied by parks-monuments of horticultural art: «Mykhailo Chekman Park», «Zarichchia», «T.H. Shevchenko Square». Of them, the area of «Mykhailo Chekman Park» is 75,5 % of the total area of the city’s natural reserve fund. The park is not only the largest natural reserve territory of the city of Khmelnytskyi, but also the largest park-monument of horticultural art in the Khmelnytskyi region. The city’s parks play a major role in preserving its biodiversity, primarily cultivated dendroflora and avifauna. The botanical garden of the Khmelnytskyi National University, the dendrological parks «Podillia» and «Yunnativskyi» are centers of botanical collections of cultivated flora. In terms of number (16 units), the natural reserve fund of the city of Khmelnytskyi is dominated by botanical monuments of nature. Among them there are 7 parks, 4 biogroups of trees and 5 individual over-aged trees. The territories and the objects of the natural reserve fund of the city of Khmelnytskyi have important scientific (dendrological, introductory, ornithological), nature conservation, historical-cultural, aesthetic, sanitary-hygienic, recreational, educational, ecological-educational, cognitive significance and value inheritance. «Mykhailo Chekman Park», dendrological park «Podillia», the botanical garden of the Khmelnytskyi National University are key territories of the ecological network of the city of Khmelnytskyi. The role of the regional eco-network of the city of Khmelnytskyi is decisive for the preservation of biotic and landscape diversity. The ecological network is an effective lever for maintaining the balance of the use of natural resource potential and ensuring the preservation of the biota of the Khmelnytskyi urban ecosystem, and therefore the guarantee of the balanced ecological and socio-economic development of the city.

Aspects regarding the development of tourist potential in Simeria area, Hunedoara county, Romania

At the beginning of the 18th century, begins to take shape, on the left bank of the Mures River, what today is considered by dedicated specialists "a national monument in the art of parks" and at the same time the oldest and most valuable collection of exotic woody plants and autochthonous from Romania, the wonderful Arboretum from Simeria. The geographical position favors the development of tourism, through the diversity of the landscape (dendrological park, hills, Mureș valley, Strei valley), the natural resources are large, possibility of hiking, the capacity of the territory to support several types of tourism; ecotourism can be developed and promoting the local arboretum brand would include the city of Simeria and the area in the tourist circuits. The aristocratic gardens from Banpotoc (located near Simeria) represent the work (over 15 years) of an italian in love with Romania. Giovanni Savatelli created „I Giardini di Zoe” with love for his granddaughter, Zoe, for our country but also from passion for gardening. In order to promote tourism in Simeria area, we must take into account both the natural and anthropogenic potential, besides it is necessary to preserve the traditions and popular habits of the area and develop these resources.

Monitoring of mulberry (Morus L.) plantations to identify samples that combine high productivity and decorativeness

Aim. The purpose of the research was to identify unique mulberry specimens in the existing plantations, adapted to the climatic conditions of the growth zone, with a different combination of economic characteristics. The collection of the dendrological park "Ustimivskyi", protective strips within the land use of the Ustymivska Experimental Station of Plant Production of Plant Production Institute nd. a. V. Ya. Yuriev of NAAS, private estates of residents of the villages of Ustymivka and Novobudova of the Globynska UTC of the Poltava region. Results and Discussion. Among the mulberry plants growing in the collection of the Arboretum, one can single out sample УП33 as the sweetest of the examined samples. УП21 has large fruits 2-3 cm long, pale pink, when fully ripe - purple; whole leaf, large, 20-25 cm long, dark green. On the territory of the introduction-quarantine nursery of the station, the sample КР1 grows, which has only male inflorescences and a leaf blade 15-18 cm long and is recommended as a decorative one. In the village Newly, the HC1 sample deserves attention - a tree with dark purple sub-fruits 2.5-3 cm long, the fruits are pleasant to the taste, the leaf is small, leathery. Sample HC2 has white subfruits up to 2 cm long, when fully ripe they are faintly sweet, but without a pronounced specific taste, the leaves are small, smooth on both sides. In 1952-1954, between the fields of the experimental station, for feeding silkworms, a forest strip was planted, where you can distinguish the ЛЯ4 sample with dark purple fruits up to 2 cm long with a neutral, but pleasant taste. In sample ЛЯ5, individual fruitlets in the subfruit are large, red-purple, which remain shiny when overripe. Among the samples growing in the homesteads of the residents of the villages of Ustymivka and Novobudoka, a number of samples can be singled out (УВ7, УВ14, УВ24, УН2, УБ1, НХ1), which combine high taste qualities and the size of the leaf plates. Conclusions. Along with basic varieties and species, seedlings with an interesting combination of economic and valuable traits are growing on the surveyed territories, which deserve further study and use in selection programs and greening of settlements.

Экспозиционная площадка Ставропольского ботанического сада как пример сохранения коллекционного фонда хвойных растений

The purpose of the work is to propose a way to preserve the collection fund of coniferous introducers on the example of an exposition site. The Stavropol Botanical Garden has been carrying out large-scale work on the formation and maintenance of collections for more than 60 years in order to preserve the plant gene pool. In the context of this task, the Stavropol Botanical Garden has 14 scientific collections of living plants. The main part of the dendrological collections is concentrated in the landscape arboretum. The basis of the formation of collections is the method of Rusanov generic complexes. Collectible plants come from various floristic areas. The flow of visitors has increased due to the active development of excursion activities and scientific events. The load on the collection fund of plants has increased, which adversely affects the condition of plants and the composition of collections. The statute of the regime and protection of botanical gardens and dendrological parks contributed to the decision to create an exhibition site, a project was developed that reflects the main directions of the planning of the botanical garden. Since 2014, the plants have been planted on the exposition ground. In the process of creation, the main idea of the planning has undergone some changes due to the need to place collection plants that need transplanting. Currently, more than 100 species and taxa of coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs have been planted in the amount of about 350 pieces, of which more than 250 pieces are coniferous plants. Most of the coniferous species and forms are presented in the dendrological collection for the first time. The plants are undergoing an initial introduction test, in the future the plants will be used as mother plants for further reproduction in the nurseries of the botanical garden and offered for use in decorative gardening. The research is carried out in the Stavropol Botanical Garden, the altitude above sea level is 640 m. The climate is temperate continental, semi-dry, belongs to the zone of unstable humidifi cation of the Stavropol Territory.

Introduction experience Нydrangea petiolaris Siebold & Zucc. іn the National Dendrological Park “Sofiyivka”

The information on the natural habitat and the history of Hydrangea petiolaris Siebold & Zucc. The results of inventory researches of H. petiolaris in dendrological parks and botanical gardens of Ukraine are generalized. It was found that most of them successfully adapt to the factors of the new environment, grow well and develop in botanical gardens and arboretums. The use of cultivated individuals of H. petiolaris will help to improve the condition of existing plantations, increase decorativeness and generally improve the aesthetic and sanitary and hygienic condition of green areas of public use in the settlements of the Right Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. We used the method of integrated numerical assessment of viability and prospects for the introduction of woody and shrubby plants on the basis of visual observations of P. I. Lapin, S. V. Sidneva (1973) testified to the prospects of the introduction of H. petiolaris in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine.

Reconstruction of the landscape section “G. Potiomkin’s garden” in the dendrological park “Oleksandria” of NAS of Ukraine

The historical landscape area “G. Potemkin’s Garden” is located in the western part of the park and is one of the components of the “ Druzhnii Garden”. After conducting an inventory of woody plants, it was found that the plantings of the Potemkin Garden are represented by 19 species belonging to 2 divisions — Pinophyta (2 species from 2 families and 2 genera) and Magnoliophyta (17 species from 13 families and 16 genera). The dimensions of Potemkin' s garden were specified, the boundaries of Potemkin' s garden were delineated, the center of the flowerbed, the foundation of the rotunda and the walls of the garden were excavated, and the road surface was marked.

Dynamics of changes in the dendrocenosis of quarter 26 «Champs Elysees» of the National Dendrological Park «Sofiyivka» of the NAS of Ukraine

Since the founding of the «Sofiyivka» Dendrological Park, over more than two centuries, the structure of the dendrocenosis and park compositions including the «Champs Elysees» (Quarter 26), located in the center of the park' s historic core changed. The changes were caused by a complex of biotic and abiotic factors that influenced the taxonomic composition of plants. The paper presents the results of a study of the dynamics of changes in the dendrocenosis of the quarter 26 «Champs Elysees», which will contribute to the preservation and restoration of the historic site of the ancient park, in particular its taxonomic composition.

Corylus L. specimen’s conservation and reproduction in the botanic gardens and dendrological parks: an example of Corylus chinensis Franch.

Aim. Value of cultivated Corylus L. as a fruit, ornamental and oilseed crop with prospects for use in the food industry, feed production and pharmacy are grown under the hazelnut name, makes it necessary to improve the methods of conservation and reproduction of Corylus spp., which can be valuable sources of initial material for breeding. Involvement in a hybridization of the well-known cultivars of hazelnuts with Chinese hazel (C. chinensis Franch.) contributed to the cre- ation of several new cultivars, in particular ‘Sofiyivsky 1’ (‘Ukraine-50’×C. chinensis), Sofiyivsky 2’ (‘Dar Pavlenka’×C. chinensis), and ’Sofiyivsky 15’ (‘Garibaldi’×C. chinensis). However, in the process of studying the morphological features
 
 of C. chinensis from the collection of NDP “Sofiyivka” and analysis of the effectiveness of its interspecific interbreeding with other Corylus revealed their differences from the data given in the literature sources, which initiated our research. Materials and methods. Study of species-specific features of C. chinensis, hybridization, progeny analysis, clonal selection, propagation of selected seedlings, and generalization of the observations were performed using commonly used methods. Results and discussion. Comparison of morphological features of the C. chinensis imported from the Berlin Botanical Garden (Botanischer Garten Berlin-Dahlem) and its vegetative descendants with descriptions and photos given in the online database founded by the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew (Great Britain), showed the similarity of features of leaves, bark, and trunk with incomplete similarity of the infructescence, its shape, and downiness. It may indicate a hybrid origin of the introduced plant (Corylus…, 2017). The obtained data related to the value of C. сhinensis in hybridization with hazelnut cultivars using its male parent contradict the literature data that report on successful hybridization in direct combinations of C. chinensis×C. avellana and the incompatibility of these species in reciprocal crossing. Conclusions. It was found that the studied C. chinensis plants of generative age generally correspond to the descriptions of the species given in scientific sources and the electronic databases “Plants of the world Online” and “World Flora Online” in their morphological characteristics. However, the identified certain discrepancies indicate the need to continue their study, and the study of the others obtained from native sources of C. chinensis representatives, cultivars, and numerous interspecific hybrids using molecular and genetic DNA analysis methods.

Rare fraction of spontaneous flora of the garden and park landscapes of the Middle Pobuzhzhia

On the territory of the garden and park landscapes of the Middle Pobuzhzhia 31 species of higher vascular plants that have national or regional protection status have been revealed or cited in literature. Of these, 9 species are listed in the current edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine, 10 species have regional protection status in Vinnytsia region and 20 species in Cherkasy region. National Dendrological Park «Sofiyivka» NAS of Ukraine has the largest number of species from the Red Data Book of Ukraine (8 species): Tulipa quercetorum, Euonymus nana, Scopolia carniolica, Allium ursinum, Pulsatilla pratensis, Pulsatilla patens, Trapa natans, Epipactis helleborine, Neottia nidus-avis. Only by one rare species were revealed in the Pechersky (Scopolia carniolica), Sokiletsky (Pulsatilla pratensis), Verkhivsky (Trapa natans) and Kryzhopilsky (Epipactis helleborine) parks. Phytoindication assessment of the identified localities showed that the most of them are on the border or even outside their ecological-coenotic amplitude by one or more factors, which indicates their vulnerability to external influences. Currently, the greatest threat to the existence of species at present is the recreational load, so according to the Law on the Red Data Book of Ukraine, they all need proper protection measures.

Such species as P. × ‘Orange Charmer’ (sum of points 83) is quite promising among the varieties, and P. × ‘Red Column’ (sum of points 61), and P. × ‘Orange Glow’ (sum of points 66) are less promising. The least promising plant is P. × ‘Red Cushion’ (sum of points 42), and P. × ‘Soleil d’Оr’ (sum of points 37) is unpromising.

Ecological characteristic of dendrosozophytеs of the dendrological park «Oleksandria» of NAS of Ukraine

The ecological characteristics of 159 dendrosozophytes of the dendrological park «Olexandria» are given: 61 of the Pinophyta division, 98 of the Magnoliophyta division; the sozological status is determined according to the latest in- ternational, state, and regional data. In addition, ecomorphs of plants were considered as specific displays of their adaptation to certain discrete abiotic factors of the ecotope. According to the ecological analysis, it was found that the dendrososophytes of the dendrological park are represented by 7 hygromorphs, among which mesophytes predominate (77 species — 49%), which are confined to moderately humid and arid ecotopes of Drymo-, Thamno- and Anthropogenophyton. In general, the rarity component is dominated by mezophilic heliophytic microthermophytic, and mezotrophic phanerophytes.

The impact of petroleum contamination on the ecological conditions of the Dendrological park “Oleksandriya”

Within the territory of the Dendrological park Oleksandriya subsurface contamination with petroleum prod- ucts, the source of which is a former aircraft repair plant, has existed for a long time. The circumstances of the formation of ecological and hydrogeological situation on the territory of the dendrological park under the influence of petroleum con- tamination from the technogenic loaded area are considered in order to create the system of control of potentially negative impact on the environment and planning of remediation actions. The creation of the eco-industrial park Bila Tserkva will minimize the man-made impact on the state of the underground hydrosphere of the dendrological park.
