ДИЗАЙН ІНКЛЮЗИВНИХ СЕРЕДОВИЩ ЯК ОСНОВА ДЛЯ ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ ЗЕЛЕНИХ ЗОН ЗАГАЛЬНОГО КОРИСТУВАННЯ
Abstract
The relevance of this study lies in the need to develop inclusive urban spaces that ensure equal access to green areas for all population groups, regardless of physical, social, or age-related characteristics. In the context of global urbanization processes and shifting socio-cultural priorities, there is a growing need to reconsider the principles of spatial organization of public green areas, taking into account inclusion and sustainable development. Purpose. The aim of the article is to identify the factors influencing the formation of principles and methods for the spatial transformation of public green spaces, with a focus on an inclusive approach to their design and use. Methods. The methodological framework of the study is based on systemic and interdisciplinary approaches, methods of structural and functional analysis, comparative analysis of international and domestic practices of inclusive design, as well as visualization methods (tables, diagrams). These tools allowed for the integration of theoretical findings with practical instruments for transforming urban green spaces. Results. Analysis of the results showed that the key factors determining the principles of inclusive design include the socio-demographic characteristics of the population, environmental requirements, spatial and functional parameters of the urban environment, and regulatory standards (DBN V.2.2-40:2018). The study demonstrated that the integration of these factors ensures the creation of harmonious, barrier-free, and adaptive green areas capable of meeting the needs of diverse user groups. The article proposes a conceptual model of the inclusive approach to the transformation of public green spaces, as well as an algorithm for their inclusive transformation. Conclusions. The research confirmed the relevance of the inclusive approach as a strategic direction for urban development. The results made it possible to identify a system of key factors that determine the inclusiveness of the urban environment, to develop a model for the spatial organization of green spaces that takes into account social needs, and to propose an algorithm for the inclusive transformation of urban park areas aimed at improving their accessibility and functional efficiency. The suggested approaches and algorithms can be applied by local authorities, urban planners, and architects in both the planning of new and the reconstruction of existing green spaces.
