Оздоровительное поселение в горах Ингушетии (Джейрахский район)

Концепция и план работы над ВКР

A wellness settlement nestled on a hillside overlooking the Armkhi River Valley in the Jayrakhsky District of Ingushetia. Here, the environment itself is the healer—the mountain climate, the water, and the movement. The homes, routes, park, and common areas of the settlement are designed to allow people to restore their strength and health.

Project Concept

A wellness settlement is a small community where the entire environment is designed for human health: the climate, topography, water, daily schedule, and way of life function as a single system.

The diploma requires two levels of development. The wellness center and its adjacent territory are designed in detail. The entire settlement is presented conceptually: the master plan, infrastructure, and connections to surrounding villages and the Armkhi River valley.

Geographic Location and Transportation Accessibility

big

The location is in the North Caucasus, in the Republic of Ingushetia. The Jayrakh district occupies the mountainous south of the republic—the valleys of the Armkhi and Assi rivers near the Great Caucasus Range, on the border with Georgia. The district center is the village of Jayrakh.

From Moscow to Magas Airport is about a three-hour flight. From the airport to the location is about 100 km, roughly a two-hour drive: through Nazran and Vladikavkaz, then along the Military-Georgian Highway to the village of Chmi, and through the Armkhi River valley via Jayrakh. From Vladikavkaz Airport to Beslan is about 60 km. The district is within the border zone.

Site Location

A 5.4-hectare plot lies on the right, northern slope of the Armkhi River valley, at an elevation of 1,182–1,274 m, along the road from the valley to the settlement of Beyni.

The slope faces southwest, with an elevation drop of approximately 90 meters. The land is municipal property, within the boundaries of the Jayrakh rural settlement; according to the State Register of Real Estate, the permitted use is recreational activities.It is 1.7 km west of the Jayrakh district center and 1.8 km northeast of the village of Beyni. The route to Stony Mountain (Myat-Loam, 3,003 m) begins from Beyni—its summit is 5 km north. It is 23 km in a straight line from Vladikavkaz.

Historical Overview

Jayrakh District is in mountainous Ingushetia, a region known for its medieval tower settlements: it boasts over 3,000 ancestral towers and shrines. These are part of the Jayrakh-Assinsky Historical and Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve, spanning 64,000 hectares, and include the tower complexes of Egikal, Vovnushki, Targim, and Erzi, along with the Tkhaba-Erdy and Albi-Erdy temples.

Jayrakhi village was first mentioned in Vakhosht’i Bagrationi’s «Geography of Georgia» in 1745; it was founded by the Tsurov and Lyanov clans.
Since 1993, Jayrakhi has served as the center of the district. In 1928, the first mountain-climate station for tuberculosis treatment was opened in the Armkhi River valley in Ingushetia; today, the Armkhi resort operates on that site.

Zhyerah — a district center

The village of Beyni stands at an elevation of 1,510 meters, 1.8 km northeast of the site. It has been known since no later than the 16th century; it was depopulated following the deportation of the Ingush in 1944 and resettled in 1957.

Beini Tower Complex

The village preserves a medieval tower complex. The main route from Beyni leads up to Stolovaya Gora—to the Myatseli sanctuary of the 10th–13th centuries, a federal cultural heritage site located at an altitude of 2,540 meters.

Relevance

Mountain climate is a recognized therapeutic resource. Demand for health retreats in Russia is growing, and Ingushetia is developing tourism and attracting investment. This project unites these elements in a settlement designed for long-term wellness.

The climate of the Armkhi River Valley has been officially designated as therapeutic: Armkhi is listed in the Russian resort fund as a mountainous-climatic spa. Healing with the local climate has taken place here since 1928, when the first mountain-climatic station opened in the valley in Ingushetia.

The number of patrons of sanatorium and resort services has nearly doubled over four years, and the clientele has become younger. This aligns closely with the primary target audience of the project—residents of large cities aged 30–45.

Tourist traffic to the republic has increased fivefold over ten years, while the total room inventory for Ingushetia stands at 632 rooms. The region’s economy is growing, and both state and private investors are already investing in the valley’s tourism infrastructure.
