Matrix analysis of the structure and spatial organization of eco-urban arable farming centers

The current relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to develop sustainable forms of agricultural activity in an urban environment, and to provide support for structural and spatial organization of ecourbanic farming centers (EUFC). The urban area is considered as a promising platform for the integration of ecologically oriented agricultural practices that contribute to restoring the natural balance, ensuring food security, and developing recreational spaces and educational initiatives in the field of sustainable agriculture. This issue is lacking theoretical and methodological foundations and models of spatial integration of the EUFC into the structure of a modern city. The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the architectural structure and spatial organization of the EUFC by matrix analysis. The study helped to identify the basic principles of eco-agrarian center location taking into account urban landscape planning characteristics; the structure of the functional zones of the EUFC; the typology of centers by functional content and their spatial architectural organization.
