The Research Work of the Department:
The Employees of the Department of Forestry and Landscape-Park Management together with students conduct the systematic scientific work studying the ecological and biological properties of trees’ species in terms of forest ecosystems in the region and their suitability for planting in the settlements. There are cultivated in an ornamental nursery, promising for green economy, types and forms of dendroflora.
Since 2011 has begun an inventorying and assessment of green plantations and the development of projects of improving the territories and reconstruction of parklands of Ternopil region on self-financing basis. These studies are combined with the scientific direction "The assessment of old parks of the Western Lowland and the recommendations on its improvement", in which is made an inventory and phytosanitary inspection of Zboriv City Park, green plantations adjacent to Yazlovetskyi castle, Mykulynetskyi park and the park-sanatorium "Cherche", urban square of Borschiv, and the park of landscape architecture in the village Bilche-Zolote. During the works, with an active participation of students of II-IV courses of the specialty «Forestry and Landscape-Park Management," were defined sanitary and ecological conditions of these places and were developed project proposals for their improvement and reconstruction.
The themes for the final bachelor works in the department, in addition to the forestry issues, includes also student scientific achievements in the field of GIS projects of greening the cities and villages, schools and more areas.
Modern GIS techniques, computer programs on landscape design and graphics are used during the inventorying and development works.
In addition, the department is involved in research thematic of the Institute for the complex topic "The development of scientific and information support of sustainable rural growth in Western Ukraine", state registration 0108U008826 and according to the initiative topics of public welfare and gardening of specific areas.
Under the supervision of the lecturers of the Department of Forestry and Landscape-Park Management works a scientific circle "Landscape and architectural design."
Students who are the members of the circle are involved in scientific researches in accordance with the scientific subject of the department "Assessment of old parks of the Western Lowland and development of recommendations for their improvement." During this work is done a valuation inventory together with the phytosanitary inspection of the park, is carried out a geodesic surveying of the territory, are planned a lot of measures to improve the tree and shrub species and are developed projects of reconstruction, landscaping and gardening.
The members of the circle have an opportunity to learn modern landscape design programs and means of computer modeling of landscape and architectural objects.
