Rationale of structures of fencing of the territory of the Lutsk zoo, taking into account the analysis of the history of urbanization of landscape

Abstract

Lutsk Zoo is located in the recreational area of ​​the central part of Lutsk. Green plantations and water bodies of this recreational area contribute to the maintenance of ecological balance in the central part of the city. The recreational area was formed on the floodplain of the river Styr. 100 years ago it was a swampy area flooded by floods, and the Styr River and the Styr River tributaries meandered in this area, the largest of which was the Glushets River. In 2020, the territory of the Lutsk Zoo was increased to about 7.36 hectares. Therefore, there was a need to arrange exhibitions in the new area of ​​3.36 hectares. The concept of Lutsk Zoo development proposed in the article envisages preservation of the existing landscape with protection from the intensive influence of urbanization. In this regard, an analysis of the history of landscape urbanization. Such data will be useful, because this area has been urban for many centuries. Since the founding of Lutsk, the natural development of the landscape has been accompanied by anthropogenic influences. Therefore, the analysis of the existing General Plan of Lutsk and archival documents – maps of general planning of the city (1795-1912), reconstruction of the topography of X - XIII centuries, as well as old photographs of the central part of Lutsk. The existing landscape is suitable for local animals and birds (species of animals and birds common in the Volyn region or Polissya).

The article proposes to arrange fencing structures of the Lutsk Zoo according to the type of gallery. Due to the high level of groundwater under the gallery floor, the installation of channels for utilities is provided. Pedestrian crossings of fencing structures by gallery type increase the sound insulation of animal exposures and have other advantages that have been considered in detail when developing design options for fencing structures. For example, the article presents a variant of the construction of the fence of the wolf exposition.
