EMULATION TO THE NATURE IN BASIC DESIGN EDUCATION OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Aim: The main purpose of the study is to create a recreational spatial organization with basic design elements and principles by emulating nature in increasing visual literacy. With this study, it was aimed to stimulate students' imagination and make them design spatial organization by emulating geological rock sections in sustainable design approaches of rural landscape areas. Method: The process of producing solutions to the design problem given was carried out by using (i) 14-week basic design training, (ii) taking thin samples from geological rocks for petrographical studies, and (iii) the analogical thinking method which was the inspiration of Goldschmidt and Smallov (2006) and Cardoso and Badke-Schavub (2011) for the transformation of their ideas into forms. Findings: By analyzing the concepts related to the given problem, the solution of the design problem began, and the designers’ abstract ideas were concretized and handled within the framework of the concept. Students, who received the subject of study during the design process, completed the product they prepared in line with the basic design education they received in order to obtain a product from the concept whichthey created in their mind by emulating geological rock sections. The process was successfully completed by adding something to the obtained product, removing something from the obtained product, and combining something with the obtained product in this process. Result: The ability to have a versatile perspective in design education, which finds common ground forart and architecture education, is vital. This study showed that in architectural education, the design process can collaborate with different disciplines and that the products may be unique and sensitive to ecosystem services.

Особенности показателей эффективности оздоровления детей в стационарных организациях отдыха и оздоровления в период пандемии СOVID-19

Introduction. Rehabilitation of children in stationary suburban recreation and health improvement organizations (camps) is one of the priority directions for children’s health care and social policy of the state. The introduced total self-isolation regimen in the spring of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the transition to distance education made signifi cant adjustments to the prevailing stereotypes of the daily routine and behavior of children, led to a reduction in the time spent in the open air, a decrease in their physical activity. Aim of the research. Comparative evaluation of the effi ciency indicators of children’s health improvement in the pandemic (2020) and non-epidemic (2018–2019) periods in children’s summer stationary suburban camps for recreation and health promotion. Materials and methods. The study was carried out as a part of the pilot project implementation “Evaluation of the Health Improvement Effi ciency” (2018–2020) on the territory of 15 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The information was collected and analyzed using the software “Evaluation of the Organization of Children’s Health Improvement in Stationary Suburban Recreation and Health Promotion Camps”, developed by the Novosibirsk Research Institute of Hygiene of Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare (Novosibirsk). The object of the study was children aged 7–17 years (n = 85 666) who had a rest in 134 stationary recreation and health improvement camps in the summer of 2018–2020. To determine the efficiency of recuperation, such indicators as the length and weight of the body, lung capacity, hand strength and their dynamics were assessed during the period of the health improving shift. Evaluation of the results was carried out in accordance with 2.4.4.0127-18 “Methodology for Evaluating the Effi ciency of Health Improvement in Stationary Organizations for Recreation and Health Promotion of Children” guidelines. R e s u l t s . It was revealed a decrease in the proportion of children with a high effi ciency of health improvement in 2020 in comparison with 2018–2019 due to the lack of positive dynamics of hand strength and vital capacity of the lungs indicators, as well as negative dynamics of body mass index. Conclusion. The lower indicators of the effi ciency of children’s health improvement are due to a considerable decrease in physical activity and the time spent in the open air in the period preceding the summer health-improving season of 2020.

Dynamics of the spatial organization of recreation in the zone of influence of St. Petersburg in the second decade of the 21st century

The results of research on the key area "Sestra River" (229 km2), located within St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, are considered. The study of recreational development of the territory was carried out in 2009-2010 and 2019-2020 using field surveys, analysis of topographic maps of different times and satellite images. Maps of recreational development of the model territory for the 1960s, 2010, and 2020 were compiled. In 2010, 16 types of land use were identified as the territories that have a recreational function as the main or additional one; this number does not include complexes with a primary residential and additional recreational function (cottage settlements, etc.). In 2020, 17 types of such territories were identified. Comparison of maps of recreational development revealed qualitative changes in various recreational complexes in 2010-2020: collective gardens, social dachas, year-round and seasonal complexes with low-rise buildings, cultural entertainment and sports-entertainment centers, etc. Over 10 years, the share of the area of recreational and residential-recreational complexes at the "Sestra River" key area has increased from 4.8 to 5.2 %. Recreational activities are being diversified. While preserving its traditional types, new types appear: farms with a recreational function, rope parks, entertainment complexes, etc. Recreational complexes for year-round use with low-rise buildings on forest land are being created. Cottage development becomes comparable to recreational development of the territory. A significant part of the houses in cottage and dacha settlements and collective gardens are used as permanent residence; at the same time, their recreational function becomes additional. Increasing the area of cottage settlements on forest land reduces the availability of landscapes of high recreational value for the population. Recreational transformation of territories, which is inseparable from suburbanization in the zones of influence of major cities, is rapidly changing the landscapes.

Methods. Geospatial analysis, statistical-mathematical, cartographic, etc. Results. The current state and features of the organization of recreation and tourism in the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve in combination with environmental activities, which provides for maximum greening and rational use of recreational resources. The dynamics and current structure of the number of visitors to the biosphere reserve in terms of protected areas and environmental research departments are also analyzed. As a result, it was found that over the last ten years from 2011 to 2020, the number of visitors to the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve has increased significantly, and its maximum was recorded in 2017 – 37 443 people. The greatest recreational load is experienced by the reserve «Dolyna nartsysiv», which is visited annually mainly in the spring by about 40 % of tourists and vacationers of the reserve. The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on recreational and tourist activities in the reserve, which in 2020 caused a sharp decrease in the number of visitors, with the exception of Tribushansky and Petros-Hoverlyansky nature protection research departments, which are characterized by a positive increase in visitors. Conclusions. The intensity of recreational and tourist activities in the reserve differs significantly, which causes an uneven recreational load on ecotourism routes, recreational facilities and protected areas. The greatest load on the recreational resources of the plain part of the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve is observed in May, then in Svydovetsky, Chornohirsky and others mountain protected areas active phase of recreational and tourist activities recorded in the summer - from June to August. Intensive monitoring of the recreational load and the current state of valuable landscape complexes of the reserve is needed at this period.

Influence of the quality of educational services of a technical university on the employment of graduates

Introduction. Quality management of educational services is impossible without feedback from employers, graduates, and parents of students. Analysis of their opinions will help identify weaknesses in the educational process of the University, for the subsequent formation of a roadmap for managing the quality of education. The purpose of the study: to develop recommendations for improving the quality of education of students of the technical University by identifying dissatisfaction with professional, labor and socio-cultural training. Materials and methods. 1261 interested persons took part in the survey, including: 386 graduates (representatives of 225 enterprises and organizations), representatives of employers – 265 people (representatives of 173 enterprises and organizations), parents of students – 610 people. The quality of educational process was assessed by satisfaction with educational activities and satisfaction with the socio-cultural environment of the university. Research results. The results of the level of satisfaction with the quality of educational activities are analyzed, in particular: the level of satisfaction of graduates ranged from 66 to 88%, the greatest dissatisfaction is associated with the organization of practices, research work and the material and technical base of the University. Employers are more dissatisfied with the professional training of graduates, in particular bachelors. More than 70% of employers say that specialists are much better prepared to perform their work functions. In terms of assessing the socio-cultural environment, the satisfaction of students' parents ranged from 49 to 72%. The main comments are related to financial incentives (scholarships, surcharges), as well as the organization of leisure and recreation. The practical significance is to identify the most pressing issues that are not always obvious when viewed from the "inside" of the organization. Many problems are typical for higher education institutions in General, so the results of this study can be useful and applicable for internal audits, in-house surveys, and improving the quality of educational services in other universities.

ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ ОКАЗАНИЯ ТУРИСТСКО-РЕКРЕАЦИОННЫХ УСЛУГ В УСЛОВИЯХ ЦИФРОВИЗАЦИИ

After the advent of the Internet, travel planning has become not only relevant, but also a visual process. Potential tourists book hotels, studying their interior in advance; familiarize themselves with places of recreation and infrastructure of the receiving destination, without leaving the house.; comparing prices; study the feedback of visitors. The modern tourism business is forced to increasingly use information and communication tools in competition for the client. In the scientific literature, the concepts of “virtual tourism” and “virtual tour” are increasingly appearing, and the authors of the articles justify their advantages. Based on a study of publications, it was revealed that Russian economists consider virtual tourism as a new type of tourism, foreign authors use the concepts of “virtual tour” and “virtual reality” more. The development of information technologies takes tourism and recreation organizations to a new level of development. The purpose of the article is to determine the essence of virtual tourism: this is a new type of tourism, innovations in tourism in the context of digitalization or another worldview. This study, conducted by us, will allow us to revise the approach to the traditional definition of “tourism,” which is legally entrenched in Russian practice.

Two Sides of the Coin: Volunteer Coaches and Sport Clubs’ Ideological Psychological Contract

Community sport and recreation organizations (CSROs) are woven into the fabric of many local communities. CSROs play an integral role in not only providing recreational and competitive sport, but also act as conduits that may contribute to positive outcomes such as mental health benefits and economic and social capital. Though the importance of CSROs is often recognized, their ability to recruit and retain volunteer coaches, who are integral to their mission, continues to be troublesome. The retention of volunteer coaches may leave CSROs programs imperiled. Psychological contracts are shown to impact volunteers’ attitudes and behaviours, and as such may be a critical piece to the volunteer coach retention puzzle. As such, the purpose of this study was to use an ideological psychological contract (iPC) framework to explore the value-based expectations of volunteer coaches and the administrators who represent their club. The values-based expectations of volunteer coaches, and their respective clubs was uncovered through a multiple case study of two soccer clubs. Findings revealed that both coaches and clubs possess values-based expectations of themselves and the other party. While coaches and clubs did express some shared values, each also identified unique values. The findings of this study suggest several implications for managers. Managers of CSROs may wish to develop a clear set of values for their organization, and explicitly identify how those values are to be embodied by coaches. The latter point may reduce misunderstandings, and therefore incongruence of expectations between volunteer coaches and CSROs. Underpinning organizational actions and communications in value-based expectations further exemplifies how expectations are to be brought to life, for example, ensuring that decision making reflects the CSROs values, and when members of the CSRO deviate from identified values, corrective measures are taken. Value statements can also be incorporated into written documents, reflected in the policies and procedures of the organization, and are further reinforced in the variety of communications between CSRO and volunteer coach. Value congruence is recognized in the iPC framework as integral to creating a positive work environment; our multiple case study revealed incongruencies, as such CSRO managers are encouraged to reflect on their own values, how they are communicated, and how they are lived by themselves and other club representatives.

Bridging low-income families to community leisure provisions: the role of leisure education

ABSTRACT Despite the financial assistance programmes (FAPs) available in communities, many low-income families still cannot participate in leisure, leaving them excluded from the benefits that can come from participation. To bridge this gap, it has been suggested that leisure education can help ensure individuals, families, and community practitioners develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence so the benefits of leisure are more likely to be experienced. This study explored how a not-for-profit recreation organization used leisure education to support access and participation in community leisure activities for low-income families. Data were collected from five staff members and 10 parents of the families enrolled in the leisure education programme. The results showed that the leisure education program connected families to community provisions and enhanced leisure awareness, supported constraint negotiation and decision-making skills, created options and choices, and provided advocacy for program changes. Instead of focusing only on FAPs, this study reveals the importance of leisure education as a tool to support community providers effects on leisure access and participation for low-income families.
