Štefl, Lukáš
The dissertation thesis details the issue of qualitative assessment of urban greenery at different levels of its hierarchical system (system of urban greenery -- area (object) of greenery -- vegetation element). The proposed indicators were verified by practical assessment in the City of Ostrava. The indicators of spatial structure and composition of system of urban greenery were verified by the assessment of greenery areas of citywide importance and then on urban districts Poruba and Michálkovice (totally were evaluated 476 greenery areas). Proposed indicators proved the differences in a spatial structure and composition of individual systems of urban greenery as well as differences in spatial relations of various functional types of greenery. Quality indicators of basic areas (objects) of greenery were verified by the assessment of 83 greenery areas of citywide importance. This group of indicators pointed to differences in the overall quality of individual areas of greenery as well as in the quality of partial factors that are involved in the final state of areas. Significant deficiencies of individual areas were mainly unsuitable age structure (56.63 % of the areas), high need of recovery or cultivation measure (45.78 % of the areas), low level of qualitative state of technical elements (28.92 % of the areas), or complete absence of recreation and facility elements (26.51 % of the areas). A total of 22.89 % of the areas did not fulfil their functions and were assessed as unstable areas. Indicators of quality of vegetation and technical elements were verified on compositional elements constituting 83 areas of citywide importance mentioned above. In total it was assessed 9962 pcs of vegetation and technical elements of a total area of 186.69 hectares. Indicators give detailed information on the true state and quality of these elements. Quality of each elements and quality of its maintenance care was different. Quality varied within individual types of elements as well as within individual functional types of greenery. Among the elements found in a significant proportion in below average (low) qualitative state ranked lawn areas (40.33 % of their total area) and vegetation elements compound of woody species, especially woody species stands (52.62 %) and groups of trees (46.88 %). The results and their interpretation clearly show that the recommended indicators proposed in this thesis are tool for the exact assessment of state and quality of urban greenery system at its individual hierarchical levels. Explanatory power of proposed indicators enables their direct application and use in the urban greenery management.
