Current Systems of Protected Areas Integrated with Urban Agglomerations

[摘要] The article considers current systems of national parks and reserves mutually integrated with urbanized territories located in close proximity to cities: the "Stolby" natural reserve near the city of Krasnoyarsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia, and the Vesuvius National Park, the municipality of Naples, Italy, and gives a characteristic of their geographical position, their relief and stages of its formation, along with the climatic conditions and history of their development. Here the authors regard the role of geomorphological objects as pivotal city-forming dominants in the formation of a human environment and compare aspects of historical and geographical development of the specially protected natural areas with the current state of the studied regions. We implemented the analytical methods based on studying the scientific, historical and cultural sources, and used the materials of field research in 2016-2017. The analysis resulted in conclusions on the influence of geological structures and reliefs on the complex development of the city-forming structures of large urban entities, but with that, legislative programs for integrated environmental development of urbanized areas in connection with the adjacent natural objects are necessary to create a comfortable self-reproducing urban environment.
