Introduction State city-planning policy and management should provide favorable conditions of human life and society through, in particular, integrated programs (projects) of development that determine the problems and priorities of the area under study. Functional zoning scheme is the starting point of design and planning decisions [1]. Schemes of integrated assessment of the territory that allow to highlight areas characterized by relatively homogeneous condition of indicators and similar conditions of their development are the basis to refer the particular area to the particular functional zone [2,3].

The purpose of the study is to identify the formed image of the territory in the perception of its inhabitants, using empirical research data for this. The main results of the study are that a comprehensive analysis of the mental representation of the urban space was carried out, on the basis of which the key elements of the image of the territory, the boundaries of the vernacular districts of the city, their urbanonymy were identified, as well as the significant role of urban open public spaces in the formation of the image of the territory. The authors come to the conclusion about the peculiarities of building images of cities, centered on symbolically significant elements and spaces that act as anchors for forming the image of a city in the perception of residents, attaching the population to the territory and constructing local identity. Keywords: urban planning, the image of the city, territorial identity, mental cards, local identity. 1 Introduction The mental image of a city is a cumulative subjective image that reflects the spatio- temporal features of the city, as perceived by a large number of citizens.

  • Political Prisoners
    LIST OF POLITICAL PRISONERS 29 MAY 2018 MEMORIAL HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER LIST OF POLITICAL PRISONERS We consider political prisoners to be individuals who are serving a prison sentence, as well as those being held in custody or under house arrest as a form of pre-trial detention. We reckon among political prisoners individuals who are being persecuted in connection with the realization of their legitimate rights as well as those who are being unlawfully or disproportionately persecuted by the authorities for political reasons. We do not regard as political prisoners those individuals who used violence against the person or called for violence on the grounds of religion, nationality, race etc. All the criteria for considering individuals as political prisoners are published on our website. As individuals persecuted in connection with the realization of the right to freedom of religion make up more than a half of the total number of political prisoners in Russia, and as their cases of persecution have much in common, their names are compiled in a separate list (please see page 14). List of Individuals Recognized as Political Prisoners by the Memorial Human Rights Centre (with the Exception of Those Persecuted in connection with the Realization of their Right to Freedom of Religion) as of 29 May 2018 There are 50 names in the present list. The names of those who are being persecuted mainly in connection with the realization of their right to freedom of religion can be found in a separate list. This list is far from being complete. It includes only those individuals and cases for which we have managed to collect and analyze sufficient information for a convincing conclusion to be drawn about a politically motivated and illegal nature of their criminal prosecution.
