On the issue of recreational development of forest areas in an urban environment (on the example of the city of Voronezh)

This paper attempts to consider the peculiarities of recreational arrangement of forest areas in the urban environment (case study of Voronezh city). To achieve the goal, the following tasks were consistently solved: assessment of recreational attractiveness, calculation of ecological recreational capacity of forest areas, allocation of functional zones and development of landscape-architectural solutions for each zone. The object ofthe study is the areas of Semiluky Forestry (Podgorenskoye District Forestry), which are part ofthe forest and park green belt ofthe city of Voronezh. The area oftheForestry is 376.4 ha. In the course of the research were identified areas in different types of forest conditions, where the landscape-ecological assessment and recreational assessment was carried out, which resulted in the allocation of functional zones, taking into account the indicators of maximum permissible and actual value of recreational capacity ofthe territory. The recommended functional zones and their specific share in the overall balance of the territory are: ecological core zone (40-50%), active recreation zone (0-5%), recovery zone (20-30%) and walking zone (20-30%). Sustainable development of the forest park green belt of the city of Voronezh is possible only taking into account the recreational potential of existing green zones, which should be based on detailed descriptions ofthe most popular forested areas from the point of view of recreation, as well as an assessment of their sustainability and the creation of the necessary recreational infrastructure.
