Abstract
Modern cities are complex multifunctional systems that integrate social, economic and environmental components. Their comprehensive consideration is a relevant contemporary scientific research direction. This paper presents an ecological and economic analysis of the Culture and Recreation Park development in the municipal formation of Birobidzhan. As part of the ecological assessment, it has been identified green spaces species composition and condition. A total of 1198 trees and shrubs belonging to 31 species are surveyed. It is found that the Manchurian ash (Fraxinus mandshurica), represented by 279 specimens, is the dominant species in the park’s dendroflora. According to the results of the ecological assessment, 64% of the surveyed specimens are classified as damaged (weakened plantings).
The authors have made an amenity assessment of the park’s 9 functional areas, recording the small architectural forms condition, recreational zones availability, including the presence of benches, gazebos, and other recreational infrastructure.
Based on scientific publications and current regulatory frameworks, it is listed the park services the town’s residents are provided with. It has been distinguished 9 service groups encompassing 46 potential services. It is stated, that only 16 of them function fully, while information support, public catering facilities, and the lighting system services are just partially functional. The ratio of 1,6 services per 1 hectare of the park territory shows an extremely low level of service development, that does not meet the standards for multifunctional parks, showing a poor recreational zone management.
Due to the he results, obtained in their study, the authors have defined directions for the Birobidzhan Park of Culture and Recreation future modernization. They consider the future park area as both the public green recreation zone and the platform for the town entrepreneurship development.
