Problems of Urban Landscape Management (on the Example of the City of Shirvan)

Abstract

The purpose is to analyze the dynamics of urban landscapes and their ecological state using remote sensing methods and satellite images (on the example of the city of Shirvan). Materials and methods. Satellite images were processed to analyze the management of urban landscapes (satellite images from 2010 and 2022). Normalized diff erence vegetation indices, NDV, NDW and MNDW indices were used to study green areas. Landsat 5, 8 and 9 images were used for analysis. Result and discussion. Urban landscape management is presented as a general concept that brings together knowledge about urban landscape management from areas such as urban forestry, park management, and landscape planning. Urban landscape management can be seen as a complex process involving a number of diff erent elements and relationships that interact with each other. This review supports future research on urban landscape management and its role in sustainable urban development. Conclusion. The development of the city has led to a reduction in the area of greenery and an expansion of building areas. Urbanization has aff ected the microclimate of the area, as a result of which it has dried out, the area of reservoirs has decreased, and the water level has dropped.
