EXPERIENCE OF INVENTORYING OF GREEN PLANTS OF THE STREET AND ROAD NETWORK OF THE CITY OF ODESSA

Abstract

Inventory of green spaces is a powerful tool for solving an important problem for any city - preserving green spaces, which is especially important in modern urbanism. It is extremely important to apply modern technologies when conducting an inventory, which allows further analysis and correction of even minor changes, in contrast to paper inventory materials. The purpose of the article is to familiarize the public with the experience of work on the inventory of green spaces in urban environments. The article presents a methodology for accounting for plantings of the streets and its practical testing in the city of Odessa.  With the help of GIS technologies, a wooden accounting of green spaces of the streets of the city of Odessa was carried out. Information about the geo-positioning of each tree was obtained by measuring the distances between trees and using orthofotos at a scale of 1: 1000. Subsequently, the coordinates of the trees were uploaded to the geoportal https://greencity.omr.gov.ua, where attribute data were added to each object, such as species, age, height, diameter at a height of 1.3 m, quality, size of planting sites, and others, as well as an actual photo. Based on the results of the work carried out, the state of the city's street trees, the number of free planting sites were determined, a plan was developed to replace old and emergency trees.
