“…This approach supports occasional teaching from the front, but more normally, enabling children to work in groups or pairs and to self-direct activities in a learning zone as well as one-on-one interventions by the teacher. Clearly, these different approaches require different space configurations (guney and Selda 2012), and this has been clearly illustrated in Russian federation (Shmis, Kotnik, and ustinova 2014) where a distinction is made between "institutional typologies" reflecting didactic approaches and more open and flexible "educational landscapes" to support more complex, child-centered pedagogies.…”

“…For example, Danish kindergartens are usually 40 percent smaller in terms of overall space than Russian kindergartens (around 10 square meters per child versus around 20 square meters per child). However, there is up to four times more so-called "active space" --the space available for boys and girls at any time --in Danish preschools than in Russia's (2.5 square meters per child compared with 7 to 8 square meters per child) (Shmis et al, 2014). Thus, adopting these proportions in Russia preschools would generate tremendous savings in terms of both space and costs.…”

“…is impossible without competent addressing of landscaping issues. This is one of the most important aspects in the entire range of measures to create a comfortable environment, along with security issues [1-4] and space arrangement [5][6][7][8][9]. In this sense, the challenges set for improvement are being solved from the perspective of urban planning ecology, or rather, urban ecology -a new direction, the object of study of which is a person in an urbanized environment, human settlements in a natural environment, and the diverse direct and inverse relations between the environment and humans as a biological and social being [10].…”

This article deals with the issues of gardening as a factor in the improvement of children's, educational, sports facilities and its impact on the aesthetic and artistic value of the created landscapes. This is especially true due to the fact that landscaping is one of the most important aspects in the whole range of measures for arranging a comfortable environment along with security issues, the formation of urban spaces, etc. The authors provide recommendations on the selection of the plant assortment under the influence of negative urban factors, such as the impact of vehicles, noise pollution. The individual features of the territories of various objects are noted, private landscape solutions are defined. By the example of the territories of the studied objects, the authors conducted taxation of tree plantings, which showed the unsatisfactory condition of a significant part of them. The possibility of expanding the range of expressive means through the use of traditional national ornaments in the structure of planar plant compositions is shown. The authors emphasize that the applied ecological approach not only provides for the creation of decorative compositions fully viable in harsh urban conditions but also contributes to the development of elements of the ecological framework as the basis for the conservation of urban fauna.
