MAIN RESULTS OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR GREEN CONSTRUCTION IN ARID CONDITIONS MANGISTAU

Abstract

In Mangystau, there is an acute problem of comparative assessment of the overall decorative effect of green devices in the system of a specific natural and urban landscape, which the Mangyshlak Experimental Botanical Garden (MABS) has been dealing with for the last 6 years as part of the scientific and technical programs "Innovative potential of botanical gardens of Kazakhstan as a scientific and practical basis for the conservation and balanced use of biological diversity in the arid conditions of the Mangystau desert". The description of the special computer program "PLANT-EST-KZ" developed at the MIEB is given, the database of which currently includes the most complete information about 94 green devices of residential and industrial zones of 5 settlements of the Mangystau region of 13 types. The decorative significance of the signs was determined by the results of a detailed survey of plantings, during which functional zones, types of compositions, age and height of woody plants, tiering of plantings, species composition, areas under woody vegetation, flower beds, rose gardens and lawns, the number of memorable (cultural) objects were identified. A comprehensive scale for assessing the aesthetics of green devices, compiled in relation to the arid conditions of Mangystau, is proposed, taking into account 37 structural, commemorative, ecological, biological and agrotechnical characteristics of garden and park objects. A comparative analysis of the aesthetics of green devices for various functional purposes is given. The introduction of the developed program into the practice of green construction will become the basis for an objective assessment of the decorative nature of the landscaping plantings of Mangystau and the development of effective measures for the reconstruction of existing and the creation of new garden and park plantings.
