摘要

This study investigated the emerging progressive use of ornamental art in the landscape architecture of Kazakhstanand determined the influence of symbolism on the quality of new urban environments. The study analysed the existingrecreational facilities in Kazakhstan in order to establish their symbolic meaning, the level of utilisation of symbolicornaments, and the socio-economic factors that influence the design structure of landscape elements. The resultsrevealed that symbolic meanings of the ornaments stem from historic, legal and cultural traditions of different ethnicgroups in Kazakhstan. Therefore, the form depends on not only the topography of the area, but also the traditionalsymbolism and numerology. This study categorised the studied places according to their size: large gardens, smallsquares and small landscape forms. Taking into account the natural and climatic features of Kazakhstan, small landscapeforms acquire the quality of arid zone gardens. However, lack of identity and consistency appears to be a majorproblem in design of larger scale landscapes. This article posits that coordination between socio-economic and historical-cultural factors will open new creative opportunities for the development of an original landscape architecturein Kazakhstan, yet balance between environmental construction and contextually meaningful urban planning will stillbe needed.
