PURPOSES, OBJECTIVES AND RESULTS OF GEODETIC SURVEYS IN BOTANICAL GARDENS (BY THE EXAMPLE OF TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY OF THE LOWER PARK OF NIKITSKY BOTANICAL GARDEN)

Abstract

The availability of planning documentation is a necessary condition for the creation and reconstruction of botanical gardens expositions, the normal operation of the territory, including the repair of road surfaces, garden stairs, and accounting for botanical collections. However, in reality, many objects of landscape architecture do not have actual plans for various reasons, and the existing planning documentation does not reflect the situation with the relief, roads, structures and plant elements. Since 2022, in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, the laboratory of landscape architecture and ethnobotanical research has begun systematic work on engineering and geodetic surveys, which makes it possible to develop the basis for design and working documentation in the local coordinate system. The work is carried out using the Topcon GM 52 total station, which allows you to obtain data on angles, distances, and excesses of certain geometric parameters. Based on the results of engineering and geodetic surveys, projects are being carried out and project proposals are being developed for the creation and reconstruction of expositions, the placement of retail outlets, and the strengthening of landslide slopes.
