Introduction. A public garden or park improvement project should arise from a scientifically grounded study of the territory and proceed from the further development of this object. The aim of the study is to analyze the territory of public gardens in the city of Orel to determine the influence of types of spatial structures on the features of the functioning of a landscape object, to predict the stability of the studied landscape and to assess the dynamics of urban ecosystems based on the state of tree vegetation. Tasks: to analyze the placement and ratio of types of spatial structures on the objects under study; to make an aesthetic and sanitary-hygienic assessment of the landscape; to monitor the state of woody vegetation at the facilities. Materials and methods. For the development of scientifically based design of sustainable urban ecosystems and the reconstruction of urban objects of landscape architecture, a method is proposed for studying the territory of squares along the selected contours of types of spatial structures (TPS), which allows us to identify positive and negative factors affecting the development of design solutions. When analyzing the TPS of the investigated squares, satellite images of objects were used. Results. As studies of the type of spatial structure have shown, in most of the investigated squares, indoor TPS prevails; on average, this type of spatial structure is established on 41.8 % of the square of squares. The location of open and semi-open TPS is haphazard and random. The lowest aesthetic score was established for the closed TPS-21.9 points, which is due to the difficulty of identifying species points in such spaces, poor visibility, inhibition of the growth of not only trees, but also the ground vegetation cover, which in most cases is represented by a sparse grass stand with poor species diversity. When conducting a sanitary and hygienic assessment of various TPSs, it was found that a closed TPS also corresponds to the worst grade (2.5 class), which is associated with a decrease in the suitability for performing sanitary and hygienic functions in weakened and damaged plants. Conclusions. For the majority of public gardens in the city of Orel with a plant age close to the maximum in urban conditions, a closed type of spatial structure is characteristic. The closed type of spatial structure led to a decrease not only in attractiveness, but also in the performed sanitary and hygienic role of landscape architecture objects.

In the urban environment, the main sources of pollutants entering the atmosphere are industrial enterprises and vehicles, which leads to a significant change in the composition of the air. Various monitoring methods are used to analyze the state of the atmospheric air. On their basis, methods have been developed to monitor the state of the natural environment of the technosphere. Most often, gas analyzers and various chemical methods for determining aerosol pollution are used. The creation of a methodology that makes it possible to quickly and efficiently assess the state of the environment is urgent. The described method of rapid assessment of the state of atmospheric air by bioindication and biotesting of dendroforms makes it possible not only to quickly and qualitatively assess the quality of atmospheric air, but also to take appropriate environmental measures in a timely manner. The developed rapid assessment includes several stages of the assessment of the objects under study, carried out depending on the goals of the study. To test the methodology, the objects of the study were the most anthropogenically loaded public green spaces (PGS) - public gardens of Sevastopol, located in different administrative districts of the city. The obtained results showed the possibility of using the developed methodology both in stages and in a complex manner.

The article identifies the main intangible factors that are inherent in the process of transformation of the spatial structure of settlements. On the example of selected objects of the Carpathian region, the basic approaches to the transformation of existing spatial systems, their potential and prospects are demonstrated and defined. Intangible factors are defined as a set of norms, principles and rules of organization of space, which were formed historically in accordance with the needs of man, society, and focus on meeting intangible needs. Their influence on the spatial structure is realized in the form of legislative and regulatory requirements, political-administrative relations and property relations, as well as mental-ethical, historical-cultural, religious-spiritual and aesthetic factors. In this case, if the material is studied both at the theoretical and practical level, the impact of the intangible requires increased attention from theorists and practitioners of architectural and urban planning. Instead, transformation is a process of qualitative change in the space of the city, which is the result of a combination of tangible and intangible factors, and if there is a clear model of development, it can be directed towards achieving harmony. A detailed study of the impact of intangibles on the spatial organization of architectural and urban planning objects was carried out on the example of rural areas of the region, where there are spiritual and pilgrimage centers and historical and cultural centers. To substantiate the presented conclusions, an architectural and urban inventory of objects was carried out; structural surveys were conducted to identify the analyzed interactions; surveys of residents and visitors; project materials, etc. were found. It is substantiated that in some settlements (villages), in the presence of a high intangible component, there is a higher potential for development of the territory and, accordingly, opportunities for the transformation of their architectural space. Proximity to cities is a determining element in determining the level of readiness of selected objects for the transformation of their spatial structures. The key intangible factors of their development are aesthetic and religious-spiritual factors, which in turn contribute to the development of the material and are system-forming in determining the prospects for the development of spatial structures. The only obstacles that exist in the process of transformation of the spatial structure of these objects are political-administrative, legislative and regulatory factors and the lack of proper infrastructure. The lack of clear legal norms and political will makes it impossible to develop these territories, transfers them to the periphery of tourist routes. It is established that the intangible is a determining factor in the organization of a comfortable space for a person. Intangible components, such as spiritual centers (symbols, chapels) can be an element of landscape design and harmoniously complement aesthetic conditions. In rural areas, since the establishment of OTG, objective conditions have been created for the renovation of existing spatial zones and the formation of open public, cultural or educational space, which will be not only an element of branding, but also a source of investment. Keywords: intangible factors, spatial structure, transformation potential, settlements, Carpathian region.

Introduction. The theoretical foundations of the new ecological disciplines "Urban Ecology" and "Phytomeliora-tion" were laid in the mid-80's and 90's of the last century at the Department of Ecology and Landscape Architecture of the Ukrainian National Forestry University, which at that time was headed by Lviv scientist Volodymyr Kucheryavyi famous by his monographs “Green Zone of the City” (Kyiv: Naukova Dumka, 1981) and “Natural Environment of the City” (Lviv: Higher School, 1984).Purpose and methods. The methodological basis of urban ecological research is the ecological-comparative method, which involves gradation ordination with the allocation of four ecological and phytocenotic zones on the territory of cities into the study of the urban ecosystem (suburban forests - city parks – public gardens - street plantings) (V. Kucheryavyi, P. Hnativ, M. Kurnytska, N. Siroochenko, N. Stepanyak, K. Myronchuk, T. Pushkaryova, Yu. Kozak) This approach is used in dissertation research not only by graduate students and applicants of the Department of Ecology and Landscape Architecture of UNFU, but also young scientists of Kyiv, Lutsk and Chernivtsi.Results and discussion. Taking into account the growth of the "recreational boom" among urban residents in the 80's and 90's, scientific researches of park and forest park phytocenoses are developed (V. Kucheryavyi, A. Zhyrnov, Yu. Khrystuk, R. Danylyk, V. Kramarets, N. Lukyanchuk, O. Kaspruk, R. Dudyn, N. Imshanetska, N. Kovalchuk, S. Marutyak, O. Oleynyuk). During this period, visual methods of diagnosing of urban ecosystems state are widely used, which confirm the feasibility of using of ecowedge ordination. The influence of complex urbogenic gradients of the environment on the adaptation processes of living organisms and their significance for the evaluation of the results of woody plants introduction into the urbogenic environment was determined (V. Kucheryavyi, M. Kurnytska, O. Kaspruk, O. Gorbenko, M. Les, V.S. Kucheryavyi, T. Shuplat, N. Gotsiy). Electro-physiological methods of impedance and polar-ization capacity measuring, fluorescence of plastid pigments, temperature gradients of the environment are used for establishing the level of plant viability (V. Kucheryavyi, H. Krynytskyi, V. Mokryi, A. Kuzyk, M. Hozdog, S. Hridzhuk, Yu. Pankivskyi, V. Kucheryavyi, T. Shuplat). Investigations of the phytogenic field of vegetation begin, its role in the formation of the continuum in conditions of urbogenic and manmade devastation is determined (V. Kucheryavyi, V. Popovych, T. Levus, T. Shuplat). The formation of a scientific school on urban ecology and phytomelioration is ensured by the three generations of scientists succession. A significant number of scientists have passed the scientific path from post-graduate student in the 80's - 90's to the candidate or doctor of sciences (P. Hnativ, V. Mokryi, V. Mazepa, S. Myklush, M. Nazaruk, Ya. Henyk, V. Popovych).Conclusions. The authoritative leader of the scientific school on urban ecology, phytomelioration and landscape architecture is Professor Volodymyr Kucheryavyi, who has supervised four doctors and 22 candidates of science. During the years of his scientific activity he published about 300 scientific articles, more than 30 monographs and textbooks. Heading the scientific and methodological commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine on environmental education in the 80's and 90's, he started training specialists in "applied ecology" in Ukraine. Thanks to the initia-tive of prof. V. Kucheryavyi scientists of the Scientific School of Urban Ecology, Phytomelioration and Landscape Architecture took an active part in many international projects (V. Kucheryavyi, Ya. Henyk, L. Kalahurka, M. Chernyavskyi, O. Oleynyuk, L. Parkhuts, Z. Sheremeta, S. Melnychuk, V. Popovych, T. Shuplat, M. Fitak, V.S. Kucheryavyi). The scientists worked closely with research teams from Germany, Austria, Belgium, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Norway. Scientific research on urban ecology, phytomelioration and landscape architecture, which began in the 1980s, continues thanks to the succession of scientific generations.

Planning of municipal gardens as the integral part of urban landscape in the Lublin region was typified by the activity of the outstanding garden planners: engineer Feliks Bieczyński and Walerian Kronenberg. This movement to create public, municipal green areas commenced in 19th century and continued with success during the inter-war period. This process took place in the big cities of Lublin, Zamość or Lubartów. Newly established public gardens were usually located on the outskirts of the city as for example, Park Saski (1837), Ogród Bronowicki (the Bronowicki Garden) - formerly called the Foksal Park in Lublin, or Park Miejski im. Jana Kanclerza Zamoyskiego (the Zamoyski Municipal Park - 1926) located in the former fortification area in Zamość. The situation in smaller cities such as Lubartów, Radzyń Podlaski (1755, planner: Jakub Fontana) and Kock (planner: Szymon Bogumił Zug) was slightly different. The former garden complex adjacent to the magnate residence served a key role in the urban structure of the settlement (thus, determining its development) was later adapted to the function of a municipal park. The article describes three selected garden complexes. The spatial relations of the parks in the context of their urban structure are analysed. The article takes into account their contemporary use and the state of preservation of their historic elements as presented in the original composition as presented in historic images and maps.Planning of municipal gardens as the integral part of urban landscape in the Lublin region was typified by the activity of the outstanding garden planners: engineer Feliks Bieczyński and Walerian Kronenberg.

Ras a1 Khaimah is the most northerly of the seven states comprising the United Arab Emirates and its Ruler, H. H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi, is keenly interested in the history of the state and its people. Survey carried out there jointly with Dr D. B. Doe in 1968 had focused attention on the site of JuIfar which lies just north of the present town of Ras a1 Khaimah (de Cardi, 1971, 230-2). Julfar was in existence in Abbasid times and its importance as an entrep6t during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-the Portuguese Period-is reflected by the quantity and variety of imported wares to be found among the ruins of the city. Most of the sites discovered during the survey dated from that period but a group of cairns near Ghalilah and some long gabled graves in the Shimal area to the north-east of the date-groves behind Ras a1 Khaimah (map, FIG. I) clearly represented a more distant past.

Abstract Amendment to the Act on special rules of preparation and implementation of investment in public roads resulted in an accelerated mode of acquisition of land for the development of roads. The decision to authorize the execution of road investment issued on its basis has several effects, i.e. determines the location of a road, approves surveying division, approves construction design and also results in acquisition of a real property by virtue of law by the State Treasury or local government unit, among others. The conducted study revealed that over 3 years, in this mode, the city of Krakow has acquired 31 hectares of land intended for the implementation of road investments. Compensation is determined in separate proceedings based on an appraisal study estimating property value, often at a distant time after the loss of land by the owner. One reason for the lengthy compensation proceedings is challenging the proposed amount of compensation, unregulated legal status of the property as well as imprecise legislation. It is important to properly develop geodetic and legal documentation which accompanies the application for issuance of the decision and is also used in compensation proceedings.

The second afterword to the book by Kamran Asdar Ali returns us to the city, and to the lives of Karachi’s working women and working classes. He draws on women’s poems, diaries, and memoirs to capture some more ephemeral qualities of everyday living and dying. These contrast with the violent suppression of an underclass of trade unionists and labor activists by a coalition of the state, military courts and industrialists, since the fifties. Given the long, progressive erosion of peace in Karachi how, he asks, might we imagine a therapeutic process of social, economic and cultural healing? Through an image of citizens “at work” creating citywide networks and connections, we are offered finally some possibilities of dreaming. Namely, through increased understandings, not of conflict, but also of each other’s intimate everyday lives, the dream emerges of a new political space or public where even intractable disagreements can be managed through gestures of kindness, compromise, and fresh vocabularies of how to carry on and get by.

This interdisciplinary volume presents nineteen chapters by Roman historians and archaeologists, discussing trade in the Roman Empire in the period c.100 BC to AD 350, and in particular the role of the Roman state, in shaping the institutional framework for trade within and outside the Empire, in taxing that trade, and in intervening in the markets to ensure the supply of particular commodities, especially for the city of Rome and for the army. The chapters in this volume address facets of the subject on the basis of widely different sources of evidence—historical, papyrological, and archaeological—and are grouped in three sections: institutional factors (taxation, legal structures, market regulation, financial institutions); evidence for long-distance trade within the Empire, in wood, stone, glass, and pottery; and trade beyond the frontiers, with the East (as far as China), India, Arabia, and the Red Sea, and the Sahara. Rome’s external trade with realms to the east emerges as being of particular significance to the fisc. But in the eastern part of the Empire at least, the state appears, in collaboration with the elite holders of wealth, to have adapted the mechanisms of taxation, both direct and indirect, to support its need for revenue. On the other hand, the price of that collaboration, which was in effect a fiscal partnership, in slightly different forms in East and West, in the longer term fundamentally changed the political character of the Empire.

The aim of this book has been to evaluate the relationship between Britain’s financial sector, based in the City of London, and the social democratic economic strategy of post-war Britain. The central argument presented in the book was that changes to the City during the 1960s and 1970s undermined a number of the key post-war social democratic techniques designed to sustain and develop a modern industrial economy. Financial institutionalization weakened the state’s ability to influence investment, and the labour movement was unable successfully to integrate the institutionalized funds within a renewed social democratic economic agenda. The post-war settlement in banking came under strain in the 1960s as new banking and credit institutions developed that the state struggled to manage. This was exacerbated by the decision to introduce competition among the clearing banks in 1971, which further weakened the state’s capacity to control the provision and allocation of credit to the real economy. The resurrection of an unregulated global capital market, centred on London, overwhelmed the capacity of the state to pursue domestic-focused macroeconomic policies—a problem worsened by the concurrent collapse of the Bretton Woods international monetary system. Against this background, the fundamental social democratic assumption that national prosperity could be achieved only through industry-led growth and modernization was undermined by an effective campaign to reconceptualize Britain as a fundamentally financial and commercial nation with the City of London at its heart....
