The main criteria for the estimation of functional organization of the community landscapes are the following: relative ratio of green areas (% of city area) within the function zones; the provision of the population with the greenery planting of differnt value (local, district and municipal), the structure of plantings, the state of plantings and their sustainability. The relative ratio of green areas within the function zones has been estimated by means of topographic interpretation of the aerial images and the departmental inventory materials. The index of providing the population with the greenery has been calculated for tne residential area of Minsk. The urbanized territory has been divided into cartographical cells, which corresponded to main architectural unity - a block of buildings. The following function zones have been selected within each block: the residential zone, the industrial zone, the community zone, the special zone, the transport zone, and the recreational zone. Thus the specifications of urban forestation have been taken into account. Green areas within the blocks of buildings (with different function zones) vary from 0,1% up to 87,5%. Its index differs mostly within the special and community zones. Within some function zones of urbanized territory the areas of greenery do not reach the normative requirements. The index of providing the population with the greenery planting of local value also differs. It considerably exceeds the normative requirements in the blocks of cottages, the blocks of mixed buildings, the blocks of low-density buildings and the blocks of middle-density buildings. In some new residential areas with the blocks of high-density buildings it is lower than the standard allows
