Inventory and selection of plant species for use in the outdoor space of the Center for rehabilitation Zagreb

Abstract

Centar za rehabilitaciju Zagreb sjedište Orlovac nedavno je premješten na sadašnju lokaciju. Obzirom na to da su korisnici Centra osobe s invaliditetom, neophodno je osigurati sve uvjete kako bi vanjski prostor bio siguran za provođenje standardnih aktivnosti koje se odvijaju u sklopu procesa rehabilitacije. Pregledom literature istražena je povijest zgrade na Orlovcu te njene prijašnje funkcije. Izvršena je inventarizacija i detaljna fotodokumntacija postojećeg biljnog fonda te je dan prijedlog biljnih vrsta koje bi bile prikladne za prostor oko zgrade, sukladno njenoj funkciji i položaju te kako bi korisnici Centra provodili hortikulturnu terapiju i koristili vanjski prostor u svrhu liječenja.Center for Rehabilitation Zagreb headquarters Orlovac has recently moved to its current location. Users of the Center are people with Disabilities, so it is necessary to provide all the conditions to ensure that the outdoor space is safe for carrying out standard activities that take place within the rehabilitation process. A review of the literature explored historical buildings on Orlovac and its former functions. Inventory and detailed photodocumentation of the existing plant base was carried out and a proposal was made for plant gardens that would be suitable for the area around the building, in accordance with its function and position, so that the Center's users can do horticultural therapy and use external space for treatment
