other landscaping objects not during the period of seizure of sites during construction and other work.
Before determining the replacement cost, a commission is assembled to draw up an act that reflects all objects and their condition. The commission includes the owners of the territory of the construction customer, the design organization, and the horticultural service.
The compiled specified volumes of work according to the act are assessed at special prices, the total amount of the replacement cost is paid by the customer to the bank account of the landscaping service. These funds are spent on restoring and expanding plantings in other places in the city. They are not subject to withdrawal to the budget; they can remain on an accrual basis.
Payment of the replacement cost does not relieve the developer from including in the estimate the restoration and creation of elements of the facility after completion of construction.
Particular attention is paid to the removal and replanting of trees and shrubs. Trees with normal trunk and crown dimensions, slow-growing up to 25 years, fast­growing up to 15 years, and shrubs up to 3 years are replanted.
Design organizations and developers include in their estimates the cost of replanting ornamental and fruit trees and shrubs in the areas of schools, hospitals, preschool institutions, and residential neighborhoods.
The cost of work to restore manicured lawns, paths and platforms, equipment, and plant soil is charged at 100 %. The replacement cost is calculated on the basis of special tables that provide data on various trees and shrubs and their condition.
The landscape gardening service supervises the safety and compliance with the rules for maintaining landscape architecture. The inspection is guided by regulations, decisions and other acts of the city Department of Housing and Communal Services, orders and instructions of the organization to which it belongs, instructions and rules for landscaping, maintenance, and protection of green spaces.

4.1. MARKETING MANAGEMENT,
GOALS AND FUNCTIONS OF MARKETING.
TYPES OF MARKETING
There is no generally accepted definition of marketing among experts. The
content of the concept of “marketing” is determined by the tasks facing it. Initially,
marketing was based on the idea of satisfying consumer needs. Subsequently, the commercial understanding of marketing as a sales method, the purpose of which is to find a buyer for products that the manufacturer is able to produce, became traditional. The term “marketing” (from the English market) means such a management system that is market-oriented to the needs and interests of consumers.
Marketing is one of the fundamental disciplines for market professionals, such as retailers, advertising workers, marketing researchers, managers of new and branded products, etc. They need to know how to describe the market and break it into segments; how to assess the needs, demands and preferences of consumers within the target market; how to design and test a product with the consumer properties required for this market; how to convey to the consumer the idea of the value of a product through price; how to choose skillful intermediaries so that the product is widely available and well presented; how to advertise and sell a product so that consumers know it and want to buy it1.
Since the 1950s marketing is a necessary leading management function that develops the market and production strategy of enterprises and organizations. Currently, marketing is a system for organizing all the activities of a company in the development, production and sale of goods and provision of services based on a comprehensive study of the market and real customer requests in order to obtain high profits2.
There are more than 200 interpretations of marketing, which are determined by the specifics and scale of the problems solved in the process of production, sales, advertising, maintenance, etc. To date, one can count a huge variety of very different definitions of marketing, which to some extent reflects the stages of its development, as well as the basic concept consisting

The point is that any modern organization can and should achieve its goals
only by satisfying the customer’s desires more skillfully and efficiently than
competitors do. These definitions are sometimes quite colorful and aphoristic. Here
are some of them: “Identify needs and satisfy them”; “Do what you can sell instead of
trying to sell what you do”; “By meeting the wishes of customers, benefit”, etc.
One of the leading management theorists, Peter Drucker, states: “The purpose
of marketing is to make sales effort unnecessary. The goal of marketing is to know and understand the client so much that the product or service exactly meets his requirements and sells itself...”
One of the leading and most famous experts in the field of marketing, Doctor of Philosophy, Professor of International Marketing at the Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University (USA), Philip Kotler, gives the following definition of marketing: “Marketing is the social and managerial process by which individuals and groups satisfy their needs and wants through the creation of goods and consumer value and the exchange of them with each other. To clarify this definition, consider the following concepts: needs, demands, requests, goods, exchange, transaction and market.
Marketing “is the anticipation, management and satisfaction of demand for goods and services, organizations, people, places and ideas through exchange”
(Evans and Berman).
Marketing is “a system of management, regulation and market research” (E. Belyavsky).
Definitions of marketing can be summarized into two main groups:
1. Classic (limited). They define marketing as a business activity that manages the movement of goods and services from producer to consumer and user, or a social process through which demand for goods and services is predicted, expanded or satisfied through their development, promotion and sale.
2. Modern (generalized). As defined by the American Marketing Association (AMA) in 1985, marketing is the process of planning and executing the concept, pricing, promotion, and sale of ideas, goods, and services through exchanges that satisfy the goals of individuals and organizations.
The main goal of marketing is to ensure that consumer demand in the market is met and thereby maximize profits. Each organization develops its own system of goals, which forms the basis of its marketing strategy.
The role of marketing is to match production with demand. The efforts of the enterprise's marketing services should be aimed at creating a range of goods that
104
would meet public demand. Particular attention is paid to the appearance of the product, its consumer characteristics, and after-sales service.
The role of marketing in business is presented in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. The place of marketing in market relations entrepreneur consumer
On the one hand, marketing is aimed at satisfying the needs of customers with benefit for the manufacturer, on the other hand, marketing is aimed at the practical application of producing what is needed, where it is needed, when it is needed and at what price. Based on such a multifaceted component, marketing includes certain types of activities and methods:
- market research for goods or services;
- by motivating buyers to behave in the market one way and not another.
These areas of activity and methods can be divided into groups that interact quite closely:
- marketing research;
- development of advertising campaigns;
- promotion of goods and services;
- marketing planning;
- bringing the product to the consumer3.
A specific organization or enterprise develops its own marketing complex, i. e. that set of marketing tools that allows you to most effectively solve both your problems and the problems of your clients. The original idea underlying marketing is the idea of customer needs. Need is a need for something, a feeling felt by a person of a lack of something.
The second basic idea of marketing is the idea of human needs. Need is a specific form of need in accordance with the cultural level and personality of the individual. The needs are constantly growing and increasing in volume. People's needs are practically limitless, but the resources to satisfy them always tend to the minimum and are limited. The consumer will choose those goods or services that will give him the greatest satisfaction within the limits of his financial resources.

“A demand is a need backed by purchasing power. Products are essentially bundles of features, and people choose products that provide them with a bundle of
benefits for their money”

.
A product is anything that can satisfy a need or want and is offered to the market for the purpose of attracting attention, acquisition, use or consumption. The concept of goods is not limited to physical objects. A product can be called anything that can provide a service, i. e. satisfy the need. In addition to products and services, these may include persons, places, organizations, activities and ideas. And if the use
of the term “product” at times seems unnatural, it can be replaced by others — “need
satisfyer”, “remedy” or “offer”. All these words have a certain value meaning for
different people5.
The emerging consumer value of a product or service is the result of a comparison of the benefits that the consumer receives from the acquisition and use of the product and the costs of purchasing this product. Consumer satisfaction is the
degree to which the characteristics (properties) of a product coincide with the client’s
subjective expectations of this product. Marketing occurs when people decide to satisfy their needs and wants through exchange. Exchange is the act of receiving a desired object from someone and offering something in return. Exchange is the basic concept of marketing as a scientific discipline and includes five basic conditions for implementation:
1. There should be at least two parties to the exchange.
2. Each party must have something valuable and interesting for the other party.
3. Each party must be able to communicate and deliver their goods.
4. Each party must be completely free to accept or reject the other party's
proposal.
5. Each party must be convinced of the advisability or desirability of dealing
with the other party.
These conditions create the potential for exchange. If an agreement is reached between the parties involved, all participants benefit (or at least do not suffer harm) as a result of the exchange.
The basic unit of measurement in marketing is the transaction as a commercial exchange of value between the two parties involved. The deal is subject to several conditions:
1) at least two valuable objects;
2) agreed upon conditions for its implementation;

3) the agreed time of commission;
4) agreed upon venue.
As a rule, the terms of the transaction are supported and protected by law.
Marketing consists of actions taken to achieve, in any form, the desired response of the target audience in relation to any object, service or idea.
The concept of “transaction” directly leads us to the concept of “market”.
Market is a collection of existing and potential buyers of a product. These buyers have common needs or requests that can be satisfied through exchange. Thus, the size of the market depends on the number of buyers who need a product, have the resources to make an exchange, and are willing to offer these resources in exchange for the product they need.
The concept of “market” leads to the definition of marketing. Marketing is a
human activity that is somehow related to the market. Marketing means managing the market to effect exchanges to satisfy human needs and demands. Thus, the definition of marketing is as follows: marketing is the social and managerial process by which individuals and groups satisfy their needs and wants through the creation of goods and consumer values and the exchange of them with each other.
There are many classifications of types of marketing. In Fig. 2 shows one of them, where the criterion for determining the type of marketing is the nature of demand.
Fig. 2. Marketing classification

Conversion marketing is formed when negative demand occurs, when all segments or most of the most important segments of the potential market reject a given product or service. The task of conversion marketing is an action strategy that contributes to the emergence of demand for certain goods or services and its development to the level of a formed supply. Demand may be absent in three cases: when known goods are perceived as having lost all value (for example, glass bottles); when goods are perceived as having value, but not in a given market (for example, boats in areas where there is no water; sleighs where there is no snow); when there is no demand for new products appearing on the market because the market is not prepared for their appearance (souvenirs that buyers will buy only after seeing them on the display, but which they usually do not plan to purchase).
Developmental marketing interacts with the emerging demand for goods when a certain part of consumers feels the need to purchase some good that does not yet exist in the form of a specific product or service. The task of developmental marketing is to translate potential demand into real demand.
Remarketing occurs when demand for a product or service is below the level of the previous period and, in the absence of measures taken, may decrease further. The goal of remarketing is to revive declining demand. The purpose of remarketing is to create a new life cycle for a product disappearing from the market, to search for new marketing opportunities to harmonize the offer of goods with their potential markets.
Synchromarketing interacts with fluctuating demand when the demand structure is characterized by seasonal or other fluctuations that do not coincide in time with the structure of the supply of goods or services. The general level of demand for products is satisfied, but the state of demand for any specific product or service at a specific time is not satisfied. Demand may significantly exceed production capabilities or, conversely, the volume of production of a given product may be greater than market needs. In such cases, the level of demand can be changed by switching incentives or as a result of advertising and promotional activities, or as a result of years of activity aimed at changing people's habits.
Demarketing is formed when there is excessive demand, when demand exceeds the level of production capabilities and commodity resources. The problem of reducing excessive demand is solved in various ways: they increase the price of the product, stop stimulating sales, etc.
Supportive marketing is necessary in a situation of full demand, when the level and structure of demand for goods and services fully corresponds to the level and structure of supply. The task of supporting marketing is to maintain a sufficient level of demand in everyday marketing activities, as well as constant attention to those factors that can change the level of demand (carrying out the right pricing policy,
108
maintaining the required sales volume by promoting in the right direction of sales activities, controlling costs).
Countermeasure marketing interacts with the negative aspects of consumer properties of certain undesirable, harmful products or services. Classic examples of such goods are alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. The goal of eliminating or reducing demand for such products forms the basis of countermeasures marketing.
Modern types of marketing include:
Crowd marketing (crowd-marketing, crowd crowd; marketing advertising) is an Internet marketing technology, posting reviews about a product/service on various platforms and resources.
