Landscape revitalization of natural territories in the city structure

The purpose of the presented research is to develop a concept of landscape revitalization of natural territories aimed at restoring their ecological balance, increasing biodiversity and creating a sustainable recreational infrastructure. The conceptual model is performed in relation to the landscape revitalization of the territory of the Suzdal lakes in Saint Petersburg. The main objectives in the context of the goal are: to conduct an expert assessment of the natural and ecological situation in the territory under consideration in accordance with the regulatory framework for the development and conservation of ecosystems, to conduct a comprehensive urban planning and landscape analysis of the territory in order to identify factors affecting the environmental sustainability of the territory, to determine the principles and methods of implementing the concept of landscape revitalization natural territories. The study was conducted on the basis of an assessment of the landscape and ecological condition of the territory, an expert analysis of adverse factors, a field study, and a graphoanalytical method for systematizing materials. As a result of the research, the principles and techniques for implementing the concept of landscape revitalization of natural territories were formulated and a conceptual proposal for the functional zoning of the territory of the Suzdal Lakes was developed. Based on the integration of the principles of sustainable development, biodesign and landscape planning, approaches are given to create a harmonious space that not only restores natural ecosystems, but also becomes an important element of the urban environment. The theoretical model is based on a research topic: landscape revitalization of a natural area applicable to a specific area of the Suzdal Lakes. In the presented model, ecology and anthropogenic impact on the territory are in a balanced interaction.
