Sažetak
The article studies the Venetsiansky (Hydropark) Island (the Dnipro River, Kyiv, Ukraine) landscape structure applying the genetic landscape science method and the European landscape classification (LANMAP) approach. The river islands being the part of the landscape and the riverscape are the unusual object of the landscape study. The aim of the article is to determine the best way to study the river islands landscapes analyzing the Venetsiansky Island landscape structure by the both methods. The genetic landscape science method consists in the next steps: 1) the island’s territory information collecting; 2) the preliminary landscape map creating (based on the remote sensing data); 3) field study; 4) the final landscape map creating. The LANMAP method consists on: 1) the climate study; 2) the altitude study; 3) the parent material study; 4) the land cover/land use study. The genetic landscape science method demonstrates that the Venetsiansky Island is not a landscape, but a structural part of the landscape – the tract (urochyshche). The LANMAP study reveals that the Venetsiansky Island is naturally homogeneous, but land cover differs. The both methods’ study shows that the river island cannot be the entire landscape by the natural criteria, but only the part of it. The genetic landscape science explores the landscape forming while the LANMAP reveals the current state of the landscape. The best way is to apply the LANMAP method for the fast preliminary study of the hard-to-reach or, vice versa, anthropogenic affected river islands and to apply the genetic landscape science method for the more detailed examination of the river islands.
