Introduction
The majority of people have an extremely negative idea about the exclusion zone around Chernobyl nuclear power plant, though quite a big part of this territory does not pose any radioactive hazard. Paradoxically, the absence of human activity created favorable conditions for animals and plants. For example, two Przewalski’s horses (which are in the red list of endangered species), after they had been places in the zone, red actively and now they are 40. At the moment the territory is practically uninhabited, with the exception of few scientists, people who refused to leave their homes (their average age is around 60), and tourists. Our design proposal focuses on the Ukrainian part of the exclusion zone and addresses such issues as the socialization of the territory, development of infrastructure elements that facilitate
tourism and scientific activity, development of industry, environment protection, and as a consequence – attraction of investment. In this project, the paramount attention is devoted to tourist infrastructure. We suggest the following types of tourism: extreme, industrial, ecological,game tourism and photo-safari.
