INTERNET RESOURCES OF UKRAINIAN CITIES AND TOWNS- GREEN SPACES

Natalia Bubyr

Abstract

It is a well-known fact that green spaces play an important role in the life of a modern city. They improve the air quality and conditions of the urban environment, increase its attractiveness, promote preservation of the landscape biodiversity and provide favourable conditions for recreation of the population. However, the issue of streamlining the indicative information about the green areas of cities (town) within the country, including its cartographical visualization and popularization for the population at large, remains relevant. This can be facilitated by creation of an Internet resource for green city areas. The main element of it is the mapping component - geoportal (web map service) of green urban areas where text, graphical and photographical information about green spaces of the city (town) including location, character and mode of their use, are integrated on the web map. The purpose of this article is to highlight the result of our experimental work on creation of an Internet resource for the green spaces of Ukrainian cities (towns). It will be a source of systematized and cartographically visualized indicative information about green areas of cities (towns), including volume, nature and mode of use. This information can be popularized by the Internet. The structure and content of this Internet resource include, apart from geoportal of green urban spaces, such units as "Home", "About us", "Contacts?. The "Home" section, in turn, contains a list of menu items on the site: news, green spaces, latest projects. In general, creation of an Internet resource for green spaces of urban territories will allow us: 1) to systematize information about the green areas of the city/town (inventory data on the plants species composition, their condition, area of planting, etc.), 2) to monitor both the green spaces of various categories and the real-time available green areas, receive information about the address, infrastructure, their vegetation, view photos, lay routes for optimal pick-up to the green zone; 3) to provide uninterrupted access to information for all the interested parties.
