A.A. Kondolskaya’s research while affiliated with Samara National Research University and other places

The territories of urban agglomerations are most susceptible to anthropogenic impact. At the same time, the area of urban forests of the Samara-Tolyatti agglomeration (further referred to as STA) has significantly decreased in recent years. A pressing issue is the preservation of the remaining forests in the cities of the agglomeration. The purpose of the study is to compile a balance of urban STA forests, as well as an analysis of the legal regime for their use and identification of violations in this area. The main research method is the analysis and synthesis of available materials. The result of the study is to identify problems in the use and protection of urban land.
