A catastrophic climate incident in the Krasnoyarsk Krai and a new approach to recreational and urban policy. The essay.
According to media reports, another catastrophic incident took place in the Krasnoyarsk Krai of the Russian Federation.
"KRASNOYARSK, July 5. / TASS /. The prosecutor's office began an investigation into the destruction of the camp in the Krasnoyarsk Krai [July 5, 2020 on the shores of Lake Masleevo in the Dzerzhinsky District], where a woman [a resident of the city of Ilansky] died and five more people were injured. This was reported on Sunday by TASS by the press service of the regional prosecutor's office ... According to the regional agency of civil defense and emergencies, there was a camp on the lake, in which there were 240 people, 80 cars, 70 tents. About 20 cars were damaged, 10 tents were covered with trees.

Any curious Internet user can look at the map and find that the Krasnoyarsk Krai is filled with all kinds of natural water bodies.
If there are water bodies in almost every settlement of the Krasnoyarsk Krai, then what is the need for the emergence of vacationer communities with a high concentration level?
The answer is known. We will name several reasons:
1) Privatization (in various ways) of the coastal strip of all water bodies.
2) Creation of huge, overpopulated megacities.
3) Fencing of water objects.
4) The cultivation of the concept of private, protected, "their" ("own") beaches.
5) Approaching the boundary of the (economic) development as close as possible to the boundary of the water body. This is especially noticeable when observing traditional, many-decade rest places of citizens. Where there was a beach, and together with the beach a significant green massif, where people could freely spend from one hour to the whole day with a significant degree of privacy (with an overnight stay at home), there the border of development approached (owing another wave of highly efficient managers) as close to the shore as possible. Formally, the same beach as before was left. But there is no place to walk, run, ride a bicycle ... If the townsman decided to swim, then he does not have the previously used opportunity to move (to come in) to the green zone and change clothes - he has to deal with unpleasantly smelling dressing-rooms standing in plain sight.
The previously existing recreation area is half eaten up by the results of a building activity. The remainder became halfly - unsuitable resting place, and halfly - the adjacent territory of houses, built nearby.
Local effective managers celebrate their next small (but noticeable) financial victory over the inhabitants of a huge metropolis.
The above reasons add up. Residents of huge overpopulated megacities are deprived of the possibility of a normal affordable free rest within walking distance to [from] their places of residence.
From year to year, a strange phenomenon is observed. With some special pride, a number of mass media talk about mass trips to a warm seas to places of low-prices recreation.
Rare skeptics talk about a boring, annoying vacation on the beach, about the inability to go beyond the boundaries of recreation areas and freely walk around the neighborhood. More often, there are reports of various kinds of overeating, about conflicts (especially on airplanes), in general, about security problems. These problems manifested themselves vividly during the coronavirus pandemic ... (Huge masses of tourists continued to move across the border after the pandemic began. This led to enormous inconvenience for the vast masses of the population and to huge economic losses for the country. No one took any responsibility. What is the role of Rostourism (as a conceptual structure) and its modern chief in events?... The public was told about the achievements - about huge heroism and cohesion in the fight against the pandemic...).
A peculiar tradition has been the collective return of the tourists from holiday destinations in the form of state actions and at public expense. (There is an explicit financial component in this tradition, which is not subject to detailed interpretation, analysis and representation to a public).
We have formulated a completely different version of recreational and urban policy:
The common name for this option is as follows:
AFFORDABLE FREE REST IN PEDESTRIAN ACCESSIBILITY FOR ANY RESIDENT OF ANY SETTLEMENT OF RUSSIA.
This option is based on the following principle:
'Each citizen can fully and free of charge rest for a day, week, month and other period of time without leaving his city (settlement). A full free avaliable rest is the basis for productive work (for hire) and for successful business. '
Briefly, this option of recreational, urban planning and urbanistic policy can be characterized through the following theses:
1. A refusal of the policy of forming overpopulated megacities,
2. An expanding access to forest and water bodies.
3. An expanding the area of forest objects.
Restore all botanical gardens, plots for educational purposes within the actual boundaries until 1991. To make these spaces public (to the maximum extent).
To restore the all-Russian service [department] of foresters. (Redirect funds released after the liquidation of Rostourism, to restore the service of foresters).
4. To establish public access lanes along the banks of any rivers and water bodies - 150 meters from the edge (each) of the bank. To eliminate fences and any other obstacles that impede the movement along the banks (along the shores) of rivers of any persons. To prohibit obstacles (barriers) for a public access to the shores in the form of imposing any paid services. To exclude the existence or emergence of "own" or private beaches, of the fenced (enclosed) sections of the shore.
5. To ensure the collection of household garbage along the banks of rivers (reservoirs) at the expense of budgets. To create a service of professional and voluntary recreational supervisors who monitor the state of recreation sites and the garbage collection from recreation facilities.
6. To restore all recreational spaces along the banks of rivers and reservoirs (including recreational spaces of local significance), within the borders that existed before 1991.
7. To stop any economic use of urban forests, groves, and other green spaces. To prohibit and eliminate the fencing of parks and squares. To achieve the demarcation (spatial separation) of territories occupied by organizations of various kinds (regardless of their functional purpose) and spaces occupied by green spaces. To prohibit the embedding of any objects into a recreational spaces (green spaces) or the attachment (approaching or arrangement at the borders) to recreational spaces. To set the standard of removal - for example, 50 meters.
Such a directions in recreational, urban planning and urbanic policy will provide
TO EACH RESIDENT OF EACH SETTLEMENT OF RUSSIA AN OPPORTUNITY OF FREE REST AT THE DISTANCE OF PEDESTRIAN ACCESSIBILITY FROM HIS PLACE OF RESIDENCE.
