On the basis of analysis of available techniques for evaluating individual components of the park space, the main aspect is the assessment of exclusively material elements of the park space – their qualitative, aesthetic and quantitative characteristics, and there is no differentiated approach to the evaluation in accordance with the functional features of the parks that limit the significance of one or another criteria. In addition, while using existing evaluation methods, symbols, ideologies, thematic orientation of the park, the stylistic unity of the composition, as well as the colour of park landscapes, which is an important means of highlighting its thematic orientation and its separate functional zones, evaluation of which in the park area is fragmentary in nature, remain out of focus. According to the results of the analysis of scientific sources of literature and researches of the Kyiv's memorial parks during 2011-2017, the newest methods for assessing the cultural and historical value and means of expressing the ideological load of memorial parks were developed, which include a system of criteria that characterizes both the common features, and the state of the components of the park space at the present stage are also the basis for forming directions for its further rational use.","PeriodicalId":40393,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Architecture and Art","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44050958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They were once popular and they have left many noteworthy monuments, although the trend called Egyptian style or Egyptian Revival is less known. There are very few studies on the manifestations of this style in the parks of Latvian manors, where, though not very numerous, the pyramids, obelisks and the like can be found. It should be noted that architectural and artistic objects used to be an integral part of the parks and they largely determined the emotional mood of the parks. Today, particular attention should be paid to the preservation of these elements in the cultural and historical environment.","PeriodicalId":40393,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Architecture and Art","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49514694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theory in question is based on findings in evolutionary aesthetics and it states that there are four categories of spaces, both, urban and natural, each having a particular size measurable in meters. Besides that humans attach a certain level of preference to each of these categories. Theoretically a sufficient amount of mystery and legibility elements can improve the preference. As literature suggests the most appropriate way to test a theory is to carry out semi-structured interviews in order to find relevant information that extends and confronts the theoretical frame. In situ interviews with the inhabitants of three residential areas in Riga were carried out to test the above described theoretical construct. The aim of the interviews was to test the theory in three relevant points: perceived size of a scene, preference of a scene and the presence of mystery and legibility elements in a scene. A pilot study has shown that the first two of the points received sufficient answers in the interviews. Yet, the third one did not obtain enough information for further analysis. To fix this deficit an expert visual investigation is carried out as a complementary method to the discursive interview analysis executed before. Expert visual investigation means that the researcher investigates the objects mentioned or showed at by the interviewees in the attempt to find any hints to the presence of legibility and mystery elements in them. This method permits to escavate information on leginbility and mystery from the interviews by using the expert as an interpreter. The article questions the possibility to receive relevant information from the interviewee on very specific, theoretical concepts that are not common knowledge. This paper proposes to use a mixed method in order to completely tackle the issues of such a specific interest.","PeriodicalId":40393,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Architecture and Art","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48174240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
