Abstract
The anthropogenic impact on natural complexes and objects is growing every day. The degree of negative influence on these territories in large cities is especially high. Issues related to the restoration, maintenance and preservation
of the natural environment are particularly relevant for our city. In this paper, an assessment of the current state of the Samara network is made. The number and total area of all specially protected territories that are currently functioning has been calculated. The analysis of the existing experience of the organization of protected areas of local significance is carried out. A system of criteria was developed to justify the status of local protected areas and applied to the example of the object – the territory of “Tomashev Kolok”. The results of this work will help in the further assessment of protected area networks, justification of the development of protected area networks in cities, and the proposal of new categories of local protected areas.
