Abstract Decreasing green spaces is a significant concern in today’s compact cities while they provide various dimensions of sustainability; therefore, sustainable development has become the key idea to solve a series of environmental, economic and social problems. Because urban green space can be seen from different distinct disciplinary perspectives, this study reviews theories and material based on multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches. Urban development and renewal should be accompanied by a green vision, to insert more plantable spaces into the urban environment. Therefore, sustainable urban planning, design and management are needed to improve urban greening by innovative and creative strategies.

ABSTRAK. Pembangunan perkotaan tidak hanya harus terfokus pada lanskap binaan tetapi juga pada lanskap alami. Salah satu elemen lunak yang dianggap penting yaitu keberadaan ruang terbuka hijau (RTH). Pengembangan RTH di lanskap perkotaan selama ini umumnya lebih terfokus dalam mencapai tujuan mereduksi polutan, menciptakan kenyamanan termal, dan juga estetika. Sayangnya, masih banyak yang mengabaikan manfaat RTH dari sudut pandang konservasi khususnya flora dan fauna. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mendata keanekaragaman hayati di Kota Depok untuk menjadi acuan dalam mencapai pembangunan berkelanjutan (green development), sehingga kualitas lingkungan dapat ditingkatkan dan fungsional bukan hanya bagi manusia tetapi juga bagi flora dan fauna. Studi dilaksanakan di tiga lokasi dengan karakter yang berbeda yaitu Taman Lembah Gurame, Tahura Pancoran Mas, dan Jalan Juanda. Hasil yang diperoleh nilai keanekaragaman vegetasi berturut-turut berada pada Tahura Pancoran Mas (2,535), Taman Lembah Gurame (1,287), dan Jalan Juanda (0,967). RTH di Jalan Juanda merupakan RTH dengan nilai keanekaragaman vegetasi paling rendah. Rendahnya nilai keanekaragaman vegetasi berpengaruh langsung terhadap keberadaan fauna yang tidak ditemukan pada RTH Jalan Juanda. Studi ini juga berhasil mendata vegetasi-vegetasi penting pada tiap-tiap lokasi yang dapat memberikan informasi mengenai mampu tidaknya vegetasi tersebut beradaptasi dengan lingkungannya. Kata kunci: fauna, flora, konservasi, lanskap perkotaan, ruang terbuka hijau. ABSTRACT. Urban development should not only focus on the man-made landscape but also the natural landscape. One of the important natural landscape is the existence of green open space. Green open space development in urban landscape areas has generally been more focused on achieving the goal of reducing pollutants, creating thermal comfort, as well as aesthetics. Unfortunately, the benefits of green space from the conservation, especially for flora and fauna are still largely ignored. This study aims to record biodiversity in Depok City to become a reference in achieving sustainable development (green development), so that environmental quality can be improved and functional not only for human but also for flora and fauna. The study was conducted in three locations with different characters namely Taman Lembah Gurame, Tahura Pancoran Mas, and Jalan Juanda. The results obtained by the value of vegetation diversity are consecutively in Tahura Pancoran Mas (2,535), Lembah Gurame Park (1,287), and Jalan Juanda (0.967). Green open space on Jalan Juanda has the lowest value of vegetation diversity. The low value of vegetation diversity directly affects the presence of fauna because not found in the Jalan Juanda. This study also managed to record important vegetations in each location that can provide information for whether or not the vegetation well-adapted in its environment. Keywords: conservation, fauna, flora, green open space, urban landscape

The article is devoted to one of the types of urban planning studies - the visual-landscape analysis during the integration of high-rise buildings within the historic urban environment for the purposes of providing pre-design and design studies in terms of preserving the historical urban environment and the implementation of the reconstructional resource of the area. In the article formed and systematized the stages and methods of conducting the visual-landscape analysis taking into account the influence of high-rise buildings on objects of cultural heritage and valuable historical buildings of the city. Practical application of the visual-landscape analysis provides an opportunity to assess the influence of hypothetical location of high-rise buildings on the perception of a historically developed environment and optimal building parameters. The contents of the main stages in the conduct of the visual - landscape analysis and their key aspects, concerning the construction of predicted zones of visibility of the significant historically valuable urban development objects and hypothetically planned of the high-rise buildings are revealed. The obtained data are oriented to the successive development of the planning and typological structure of the city territory and preservation of the compositional influence of valuable fragments of the historical environment in the structure of the urban landscape. On their basis, an information database is formed to determine the permissible urban development parameters of the high-rise buildings for the preservation of the compositional integrity of the urban area.

Urban sustainable renewal has received extensive attention in a wide range of fields, including urban planning, urban management, energy management, and transportation. Given that environmental resource conservation is critical to urban sustainability renewal, this study highlighted the imbalance among green space, urban development, and transportation accessibility. Here, a novel node-place-green model is presented to measure sustainable urban development; meanwhile, deep learning is utilized to identify and extract the green space to measure the environmental index. Based on the generated node, place, and green value, urban developing status could be classified into nine modes for further analysis of transportation, urban function, and ecological construction. The experimental results of Harbin reveal the feasibility of the proposed method in providing specific guidelines for urban planning and policies on sustainable development.

Introduction. One of the urban planning key tasks is to ensure the personal and social safety and create a high-quality urban environment defined as the ability of the environment to meet human needs. Creating a favorable urban environment is also one of the most important strategic tasks of the state. For that reason, in the nearest future, it is necessary to ensure a cardinal increase in the urban environment comfort, increase the urban environment quality index and reduce the number of settlements with an unfavorable environment. Thus, there is a need to introduce new urban planning system approaches to the assessment of the effectiveness of design solutions in the field of urban green space arrangement. The scope of the research is normative and technical regulation in the field of urban green space arrangement, while its objective is the analysis of the main regulation problems. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the study is the principles of urban planning based on the calculation of triple balances of the biotechnosphere. By varying the elements of the green space arrangement, it is possible to regulate the level of the biosphere’s regenerative forces, thus balancing the anthropogenic impact on the urban environment. Methods of the research are familiarization with the relevant legal documents in the field of urban green-space arrangement and integrated analysis of urban planning documentation for solving the problems of strategic planning of territorial development. Results. The analysis of the main problems of normative and technical regulation in the field of urban green space arrangement is performed. The functions of gardening in the composition of the urban territorial zones are revealed. The paper shows a gradation of landscaping systems in the urban planning structure at various urban planning levels. A comparative analysis of the landscaping of the territorial zones is given for three major towns of the Central Federal district: Orel, Smolensk, and Tambov. A method to create favorable conditions for life, is proposed for regulating the regenerative forces of the biosphere with the balance ratios of the components of the biotechnosphere balance, including elements of various gardening intensities. Conclusions. Creating a continuous system of green and other open spaces based on the principles of urban planning is currently the main tool for creating a favorable urban environment. Currently, new system approaches are required to assess the effectiveness of design solutions in the field of landscaping and introducing a new integrated indicator of the availability of green spaces.

In this article, the authors considered the development of Rashkiv (Raszków in Polish and Raşcov in Rumunian), the fortified settlement which is situated on the Middle part of the Lower Dnister Region. An attempt of reconstruction of the most important stages of its town-planning biography of the 15th-18th centuries was made. The authors based their research on newly identified sources. The systematization of the historical chronology of the most important events which have influenced the formation of the defensive structures and the urban environment of Rashkiv has been carried out. In the course of the 15th-18th centuries, four major urban planning periods were identified: the Lithuanian – fort Karaul in the form of a defensive roundel type castle, further – Zamoyski’s town fortress with a fortified downtown, then – the fortifying of the suburbs and, finally, – trade and handicraft town without any defense function. At each stage, an attempt was made to hypothetically localize separate elements of the city – fortifications, historical roads, street planning system, civil and sacral dominant elements. The authors all available source data – archival sources, historical and contemporary cartography, toponymics, field surveys, surveys, and iconographic materials for analysis. Remains of the 1st period represent today ruins of earth shafts under the fortress. This hillfort is monument of archeological heritage and it is protected by state. Ukrainian historian M. Hrushevskyi connects appearance of the fort here with necessity todefend the river crossing and the trading way. From the 2nd period we have today just two preserved bastions of the early of 17th century and some relicts of urban planning system, for example, part of the historical market square. The article also substantiates the value and necessity of preserving the historical plan of Rashkiv which was, in particular, developed under the influence of the development of defense strategies of its time. 3rd period was graphically hypothetically reconstructed in many ways. To a greater extent it is because we have not enough materials to create a definite model of the urban development of this period. Research is based on historical topographic works of 17th and 18th centuries and onlysince the early 19th century we have more detailed historical plans to make more far reaching hypotheses. Using historical photos of early 20th century, authors succeeded in discovering historically determined rhythm of urban environment in Rashkiv. Unfortunately, it is disappearing now due the physical ruining of historical substance of old town and reconstruction according present-day inhabitants’ ideas about country houses or summer cottages. The present results are significant in elaborating historical and reference architectural plan of the settlement, registration of the newly discovered objects of cultural heritage as monuments of architecture and urban planning, archeology, history and nature. New master plan of Rashkiv urban development should be based on our complex architectural and urban planning research to preserve cultural legacy of Rashkiv and to use it for modern economical and tourist revival.

The problem of urban planning in the context of globalization and the intensification of urban growth is considered in the context of sustainable development. Under UN-Habitat regulations, urban development must be in line with five principles: compactness, high density, mixed use, variety, limited land-use specialization. Compact urban development is a model for sustainable urban development, based on the synergy of three main dimensions: social, economic and environmental. In contrast to the approach to territorial zoning, the compact city model pays attention not only to the development of mixed land use, but also to social needs in places of employment, leisure, recreation, as well as the need for economic resources. In order to identify strategies for designing a sustainable architectural and planning structure, theoretical approaches to the practice of urban planning are investigated. Implementation of the provisions of UN-Habitat is aimed at reducing energy consumption and harmful emissions, preserving biodiversity, reducing the cost of infrastructure and increasing labor productivity, which helps to achieve a balance of social, economic and environmental goals of sustainable development.

This chapter intends to elucidate the emergence of sustainable urban development in Tokyo in light of the upcoming 2020 Olympics by exploring various administrative and commercial practices, such as urban development plan with rooftop and wall greening or river projects in the inner city. The research methods involved a review of the empirical literature, an analysis of existing statistical data, and a detailed examination of case-specific data collected in a field survey. This chapter concludes that since Tokyo Metropolitan Government encourages urban greening projects as a solution of urban heat island from 2000s, utilization of “green spaces” in the landscape design of commercial and office facilities is gaining attention. This chapter concludes that various practices for sustainable urban development in Tokyo, which faces a restructuring process in light of the 2020 Summer Olympics, exist and that some of these could be further developed by the private sector.

Nowadays there is a renewed interest in city parks as recreational oases providing tranquillity and balancing out urban processes. This paper reviews characteristic features of city parks situated in an urban environment, presents comparative characteristics of exceptional parks, and summarizes the development of city parks in Lithuania in the 20th century. Within this context a feasibility study of the central park in S˘iauliai is presented, focussing on the task of clearly distinguishing the park’s borders during its moderate urbanization and preserving the park in the process of integration of its urban neighbourhood, meanwhile improving the park’s composition and service infrastructure. The paper analyses the park’s territory as an element of urban structure: position within the green city structure and the system of green spaces; arrangement of the green space in the overall city structure (hierarchy of values of urban structure elements), degree of its integration; transformations of the park’s territory; analysis of the current situation and suggestions. Santrauka Šiuo metu vėl pradėta gręžtis į miestuose esančius parkus kaip gyventojų poilsio, ramybės bei savotiškos atsvaros urbanizaciniams procesams oazes.
