ABSTRACT
Flower meadows provide opportunities for parks in city centres. Urban green areas combine elements of both natural and human origin, such as planning projects of management entities of green areas. Usually, these parks are compact and easy to separate, with objects intended for active and passive recreation, fully utilising the surroundings. On the basis of available planning documents and maps, the number, size and quality of green areas, including flower meadows in city parks, were determined. By examining the parks’ functional and spatial structure, it is possible to identify the areas in vicinity of which they are located, as well as their purpose and nature. A web application could raise awareness of the role and importance of flower meadows in city parks as an element of public space. For this reason it is currently very important to preserve green areas by surveying the plant structure and dominant phytocoenoses, creating natural maps that present and collect data on the richness of green areas. When analysing the distribution of selected types of city parks, it is possible to observe the dependence of their location to the central parts of cities. The web application presents the distribution of green areas in the urban planning. The application will allow collecting data, which can enable creating a green infrastructure of the Kraków city centre and suburbs, and in the future to show eco-urban aspects in a cartographic form. In the next phase, the application will be extended to a description of the species of meadow plants occurring in city parks. It will not only add didactic elements to the urbanscape, but will also allow for conducting natural field activities, linking garden premises with the surroundings and using local plants.
