CREATING AN ECOLOGICAL BUFFER LANDSCAPE SYSTEM IN THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE OF NAVOI CITY: THEORETICAL ANALYSIS
Keywords:
ecological buffer zone, industrial landscape, landscape ecology, biocellulose system, Miyawaki method, green infrastructure, anthropogenic load, compositional modeling, green corridor.Abstract
This scientific article examines the theoretical and practical foundations of creating an ecological buffer landscape system on the example of the industrial zone of Navoi city. The research is aimed at modeling protective zones between industrial enterprises and residential areas based on the principles of landscape ecology and architectural design. The article analyzes international experience in designing ecological buffers for industrial zones. Based on comparative analyses, the ecological situation, anthropogenic load, and the state of existing green spaces in the territory where the Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Combinat and "Navoiuran" enterprises operate are studied. During the research, comparative analysis and grapho-analytical methods were used. As a scientific novelty, the concept of considering the ecological buffer not only as a sanitary-hygienic means but also as an aesthetic and functional connecting "green corridor" between the industrial area and the city is put forward.
