Socio-diagnostic research of the problem of the formation of historical and cultural landscapes (on the example of the city of Suzdal)

Today, in the field of urban planning, the problem of preserving the recreational potential of natural territories, in particular the territories of historical and cultural landscapes, and the creation of urban public spaces in symbiosis with the natural environment in these territories is becoming increasingly important. In the theory and practice of urban planning, there is no scientifically based approach to the restoration and ecological reconstruction of the territory of historical and cultural landscapes from the standpoint of their sustainable development, as a result of which the territory of protected meadows in Suzdal has been in an environmentally unfavorable state for a long time with signs of degradation of landscape components. The purpose of the planned ecological reconstruction of urban landscapes in the city of Suzdal is to ensure a dynamic balance between the natural and urbanized environment. One of the ways to achieve such a balance, as well as to preserve the environment and improve the well-being of the local population, can be the development of ecotourism as a tool to solve the problem of congestion in the central part of the historical settlement due to the seasonal influx of tourists. In order to reduce the anthropogenic load on the historical environment of the city, improve the welfare of the population, get acquainted with the local culture and  the natural environment, it is important to separate tourist flows in different directions in green spaces along the river along organized ecological trails. During the socio-diagnostic research of the territory of historical and cultural landscapes, the dynamics of the transformation of the territory of landscapes were established and an assessment of the ecological state of the reserched territory was carried out, revealing, at the same time, the possibility of  their restoration. The conducted sociological survey determined the attitude of residents and tourists of the city of Suzdal to this problem as an interested social group of the population.
