Analysis of the existing conditions of green plantings of Kyiv showed forming types of vegetation, multifunctionality of green spaces in cities and the main directions of their use for recreation. Green plantings of the city of Kyiv according to the functions are divided into plantations of general, limited and special purpose and form the basis for primary natural vegetation – pine forest, pine-oak forest and hornbeam-oak forest. Along with the aesthetic, sanitary and microclimatic functions - recreation is one of the leading functions of green plants in cities.
Spatial analysis of the intensity of green plantings indicates the increase in the proportion of green plantings per unit area from the natural planning axis of the city (Dnieper riverbed) to the peripheral zones of the city. The green areas of the city have united transport with residential areas and are used for daily, weekly and, in some cases, seasonal recreation not only by this particular area, but also by residents of surrounding districts.
Short-term weekly and seasonal recreation is implemented through the organization of rest in campings, which may include an overnight stay, or just a variety of sports and recreational activities, sightseeing tours and daily short-term rest in the form of a utilitarian recreation, picnics, skiing, biking and hiking.
Criteria for recreation evaluation methods of green plantings in the city to determine recreational suitability are based on the biomedical, environmental, aesthetic, technological approaches.
The criteria for determining recreational suitability of green plantings in urban space are identified after landscape features; the type of vegetation that forms the basis of green plantings in urban parks and wooded areas; accessibility, architectural and infrastructural features.
Gradation of suitability for recreational use is the following: suitable for relaxation; favorable; partially favorable; areas of natural reserves and green areas recommended for special recreation (different types of utilitarian recreation, etc.). The analysis results of the vegetation types and infrastructure of the city indicates that most of Kyiv’s green plantings areas are categorized as favorable and conducive to recreation.
