Landscape design that encourages healthy lifestyle in open space

Goal of each landscape project is transformation of unregulated or inadequately landscaped open spaces in designed open areas with some targeted and preferred characteristics. In this regard, landscape design is a professional discipline dealing with integration of people with the environment in a manner that is beneficial to both. In the context of creating parks, landscape design is a process that creates the relationship between the natural and built elements of the landscape and the social and spatial requirements that will materialize in a unique spatial functional concept - newly designed public park. In general, the basic function of parks is providing spatial framework for the outdoor stay and recreation of people in the broadest sense of the word (active and passive recreation, experiencing nature, sports, social contacts, aesthetic experience, etc.). In addition, the objectives of creating the park as part of the project "Volunteers in the Park" will be specifically focused on the following themes: emphasis on integration of open space that encourage recreation and healthy lifestyle (programmatic basis of such parks, recommended standards, availability and accessibility, etc.) ; specific recommendation for creating such open spaces according to the principles „inclusive landscape design“ (tuning the park to all age groups, people of different lifestyles, different abilities, preferences, etc.). Special emphasis will be given on designing children's playgrounds because the park landscape design today often offers stereotypical playgrounds solutions that contains only basic items (simple catalogue equipment) and narrow range of experience and possible activities. Among other principles for landscape design of children's playgrounds, there will also be an emphasis on inclusive design, increasing the share of natural elements and other structures that are more challenging and stimulate all the senses of the child, stimulate better social contacts, enables a diverse range of activities and encourage research and experimentation. The final product of the work will be the development of the conceptual design of a public park with children's playground, whose characteristics correspond to its characteristics with those principles mentioned above.
