METHODOLOGICAL BASES FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SPATIAL TRANSFORMATION OF URBAN GREEN SPACES

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to substantiate and systematize methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of spatial changes in public green spaces with an emphasis on ecological, functional, spatial, and social dimensions. Methods: analysis of publications on the topic of research, cartographic analysis, methods of system modeling, sociological research, GIS analysis. The integration of these methods provides a multidimensional view of the efficiency of spatial transformations and supports evidence-based decision-making. Results. In the research process, a structured methodological apparatus based on the integration of qualitative and quantitative assessment tools was formulated. The proposed methodology contains a clear sequence of analytical stages, in particular, diagnosis of the current state, identification of problems, development of transformation strategies and post-project assessment, and also provides an effective scientific basis for optimizing solutions in landscape architecture, urban ecology and spatial planning. The systematization of methodical approaches made it possible to determine the key efficiency criteria, in particular, environmental friendliness, the degree of integration with the urban structure, the level of accessibility and satisfaction of users, the ability of green spaces to perform multifunctional functions. Conclusions. The need for a comprehensive approach to assessing the effectiveness of spatial transformations of urban green spaces, taking into account the interrelationship of environmental, functional, spatial and social factors, is confirmed. The proposed methodology is also compatible with strategic development documents and can be used to monitor the long-term effectiveness of measures in the field of green infrastructure in cities of Ukraine and beyond.
