Green areas

   What is being done to solve the problems

Today the green zone of Tbilisi is factually not managed. The main reasons of this are: uncertainty of legal base; inertia/ability of the infrastructure of city's territorial planning, its factual absence; factual ignoring (or, impossibility) of the participation of public (including professionals and their communities - landscape designers, architecturists, urbanists and others) in the process of decision-making; focusing of social problems, mainly on economic (everyday) issues; poor awareness of local authorities about their own part and others.

The share of public participation must increase. The source of decision-making and the tools making possible the protection of green crops are frequently inunderstandable for citizens (since the legislation is uncertain).
Thus, the city's management system can't provide for the protection and development of existing green areas. There are no existing or expected real initiatives (public, private, and state) for the increase of green zone. The park areas decrease considerably because of construction processes undesirable for public.
In reality the mechanisms of protection of existing green areas do not function. The approaches towards the management of city's green areas require serious review.
