In the article, the problems of landscape planning in environmental protection measures were considered. Landscape planning (LP) is a scientific direction in landscape science that studies the spatio-temporal organization of community life in certain geographical areas. Aiming to achieve the maximum adaptation of the functional areas of the farm to the landscape structure and create new optimal anthropogenic and cultural landscapes. The theory and practice of economic development, as well as the placement of environmental prerequisites and constraints that are characteristic of regional landscape features.
The relevance of the work is the development of a landscape management system adapted to the natural environment of the local area, the preservation of large areas of special protection, the reproduction and protection of unique plants that are declining, the modeling of an aesthetic artistic and cultural landscape in the territory of tourist recreation zones and private residential buildings, the greening of cities and villages—in other words, the ecological organization of nature. The relationship between man and nature is a coordination problem with art and beauty.
This study presents a landscape design plan for the "Merry Resort" tourist recreation zone near Lake Alakol in Kazakhstan. The plan prioritizes ecological sustainability, aesthetic appeal, and the integration of local flora and fauna. Utilizing the Realtime Landscaping PRO application, the study models a diverse range of zones, including recreation areas, accommodation zones, and ecologically sensitive areas. Particular emphasis is placed on the cultivation of declining plant species, such as the Sievers apple tree, and the creation of an alpine-style landscape. The research incorporates theoretical frameworks of landscape planning, considering the region's unique geographical and climatic conditions, including the impact of strong winds and water characteristics. The findings contribute to sustainable tourism development in the Alakol region, enhancing both the aesthetic and ecological value of the area.
