Dynamics of Development of Public Green Spaces in the City of Simferopol

The city is a whole system and is an integral part of the modern representation of the image of the state. In the urban greening system, the main environment-forming role belongs to plantations of common use. It has been established that the quantitative and qualitative parameters of green spaces in the city of Simferopol have changed over the centuries, depending on the action of a group of factors. Currently, green spaces account for only 6.6% of the entire city area. The level of provision of the population with green spaces for general use is lower than the normative one and in different years varied from 1.5 ha to 20 ha. At the same time, only in the late Soviet period did this indicator correspond to the norms and amounted to 20 m2/person. The size of the area of green spaces in the landscaping system of the city of Simferopol was largely influenced by the following conditions: an increase in the area of the city, the addition of forest fund territories to the green spaces, an increase in the area and the allocation of these territories for development. Consequently, depending on the action of one or another factor, there was an increase or decrease in the percentage of green areas for common use. The totality of the factors acting on the process of greening the city can be attributed to the socio-economic and legal group.
