Abstract
Environmental assessment of recreational facilities in Rostov-on-Don
Incoming article date: 24.10.2019The environmental performance of recreational facilities in Rostov-on-Don was assessed. The object of the study were 15 parks and gardens of the city. Depending on the structure of the territory (the share of the green area, the density of tree planting), the parks were grouped into three groups. The influence of parks and gardens on microclimate parameters was studied - air and surfaces temperatures, air humidity. The greatest reclamation effect on the microclimate is possessed by parks with dense plantations (planting density of trees above 400 pcs / ha). Green spaces have the strongest influence on surfaces temperature, decreasing it by 11.4 - 13.8 ° С. The smallest changes are recorded for air temperature, which decreases on average by 1.9 - 2.3 ° C. Humidity increases by 2.7%. The presence of the effect plantations of trees at parks on microclimate parameters is proved by statistical methods.
