Abstract

Objective of the study was to identify the specific features of the mechanism of formation of the landscape physical education and sports infrastructure as a form of socially-oriented development of the territories.

Methods and structure of the study. The methods used during the study were as follows: analysis, synthesis, comparison, description. The approaches to the architectural and infrastructural development of the territories of inhabited locality in terms of urbanization. Based on the learnt material, it was proposed to view the landscape infrastructure in the context of physical education and sports and achievement of goals of the national project "Demography".

Results and conclusions. The landscape infrastructure of physical education and sports is positioned as a spatial-functional environment simulated in accordance with the principles of ecological safety, safety, functionality, and interdepartmental interaction. In addition to the infrastructural objectives, the proposed approach aims to form a new system of values, develop the mass physical education and sports ecosystem, and expand the functionality of the sports infrastructure facilities and their acquisition of the status of social attractors that integrate various forms of social activity.

Background. As provided by Presidential Decree of 05/07/2018 No. 204 "On the national objectives of the Russian Federation and strategic development priorities for the period up to 2024", popular living standards, health and well-being are ranked among the key national objectives of the Russian Federation [6], with the percentage of habitually sporting population (among the other progress factors) expected to grow to 55% by 2024 [5] and 70% by 2030 [6]. The progress of the national physical education and sport sector is of special importance in this context. Presently the federal government takes efforts to implement the "Sporting life norm" Project as complementary to the national "Demography" Project geared to facilitate access of every population group to physical education and sport services and mass sports, with a special priority to the local sports infrastructure development and sports reserve training initiatives [3].

The above Project encourages the local physical education and sport infrastructure development initiatives, with their progress rated by one of the key indicators. The physical education and sport infrastructure development projects are designed to facilitate the local sustainable development in line with the modern global trends. As stated by the Declaration on Environment and Development, the sustainable development projects will be designed to protect and improve the popular living standards for happy and fruitful communal life in harmony with nature [2]. Good health and well-being of every population group and sustainable municipal and communal progresses are ranked high on the list of priority Sustainable Development Goals declared by the United Nations. Many analysts of regional development progress emphasize that “the regional progress policies will be driven by humanitarian socio-economic development paradigm [4]. Of special importance in this context are the new physical education and sport sector development encouragement models including both the physical education and sport infrastructure modernization and expansion and physical education and sports landscaping components.

Objective of the study was to analyze the physical education and sports infrastructure landscaping mechanisms for socially responsible regional development projects.

Methods and structure of the study. We used for the purposes of the study a set of traditional scientific methods including analysis, synthesis, comparisons and descriptions to analyze the most beneficial architectural and infrastructural development solutions for urban and urbanized regions. Based on the study data and analysis, we offer a new understanding of the physical education and sport landscaped infrastructure in the context of the national physical education and sport sector and "Demography" Project progress goals.

Results and discussion. The landscaped infrastructure concept has been in use for the last decade, with the landscaped infrastructure commonly interpreted as “the approach geared to expand functionality of a project landscape to host a multifunctional and highly productive social system” [1]. A.V. Vyazovskaya [1] reviewed different landscaped infrastructure interpretation versions to emphasize that their core idea is to integrate the social and economic sectors into the local environment at no detriment to their functionalities and values. In its application to national physical education and sport sector, the physical education and sport landscaped infrastructure will be designed to design/ redesign the urban landscape so as to facilitate the popular physical education and sport in every physical activity form in harmony with the other social activities in the area. The priority physical education and sport landscaped infrastructure development goals may be listed as follows:

• Model the space and functions with the local assets and networks so as to facilitate the popular motor activity;

• Staff the local physical education and sports infrastructure with the competent human resources to provide practical support to the local sporting population, with a special priority to the local physical education and sports events;

• Secure good informational support on an external and internal basis to promote healthy lifestyle with communal awareness in modern healthy lifestyle issues, and encourage progress of the local physical education and sport service personnel; and

• Ensure good institutional, legal and regulatory provisions for the physical education and sport landscaped infrastructure operations.

The above physical education and sport landscaped infrastructure projects have been implemented by a few municipalities in the Sverdlovsk Oblast and found beneficial as verified by the reported growth in the habitually sporting local population and healthy lifestyle advancements. Thus the Verkhnyaya Pyshma physical education and sport landscaped infrastructure is reported to integrate the local Sports Palace, Cedar Physical Education and Sport Center and the municipal Alexandra Kozitsyna Sports School into the local physical education and sport system that includes 143 municipal sports facilities. It may be pertinent to mention among the latter the Ice Arena, Ice Sports Palace and municipal stadium with an artificial football field, outdoor ice hockey court, outdoor basketball court, beach volleyball court, chess room, aerobics gym, track and field sports facility, shooting range and rehabilitation center with sauna. These facilities are readily accessible for the local actively sporting population.

One of the most popular physical education and sport service formats for the active population groups is the social physical education and sports contracts with the local corporate entities. Thus the municipal Alexandra Kozitsyna Sports School provides the GTO Complex test services and acts as the municipal coordinator for the “Sports Leader" Project. The municipality hosts about 300 mass physical education and sports events in 40 sports disciplines per year on average; and the local habitually sporting population as a result was reported to grow from 25,735 people in 2017 to 33,978 people in 2019.

Conclusion. The local physical education and sport landscaped infrastructure initiatives will be geared to form a harmonic socio-cultural living environment with due contribution from interdepartmental cooperative efforts to secure sustainable municipal and rural development with a special priority to the communal physical education and sport services and healthy lifestyle encouragement initiatives in every social sphere. The physical education and sport landscaped infrastructure model analyzed herein may heavily contribute to the national progress goals via the regional sustainable development projects.
