Landscape park design using a system of plant purifiers

Alternativni, zeleni pristupi gospodarenju oborinskom vodom i biološko pročišćavanje oborinske vode sigurno čine dio održivog razvoja grada, a vjerojatno i jedan važan segment u rješavanju ekoloških problema koje uzrokuju konvencionalni sustavi odvodnje. Iz tog razloga postoji potreba za preispitivanjem mogućnosti primjene i potencijala za oblikovanje vodenih elemenata s biljnim pročišćivačima u parku, kao jednom od najznačajnijih tipova otvorenih javnih gradskih površina. U ovom radu, napravljen je pregled stručne literature na temu održivih pristupa gospodarenja oborinskom vodom i sustava biljnih uređaja za pročišćavanje otpadne i oborinske vode te analiza postojećih primjera implementacije biljnih uređaja u javne gradske parkove. Uzimajući u obzir identificirane principe, dan je prijedlog oblikovanja Parka Pravednika među narodima u Zagrebu u kojem je sustav biljnih uređaja postavljen kao centralni motiv. S ciljem izrade što kvalitetnijeg prijedloga oblikovanja, provedeno je anketno istraživanje među korisnicima parka kako bi se ispitali njihovi stavovi o biološkom pročišćivanju voda u urbanim sredinama te zadovoljstvo i želje o sadržajima u parku.Alternative, green approaches to stormwater management and biological stormwater treatment certainly form part of the city's sustainable development, and probably one important segment in addressing the environmental problems caused by conventional drainage systems. Therefore, there is a need to review the application and potential for designing water elements with plant purifiers in the park, as one of the most significant types of open public urban areas. In this paper, a review of the expert literature on sustainable approaches to stormwater management and the constructed wetlands is made, as well as an analysis of existing examples of the implementation of constructed wetlands in public city parks. Taking into account the principles identified, a design proposal for a Park Pravednika među narodima in Zagreb was made, in which the system of constructed wetlands was set as the central motive. In order to create a quality design proposal, a survey was conducted among park users to examine their views on urban biological water treatment and satisfaction and desires about amenities in the park
