This article presents the criteria for a component integral assessment of the landscape and recreational attractiveness of the mountainous territories of the Turkestan region. The method is based on a component assessment of landscapes, which consists of the main indicators that make up the landscape: relief, climate, water bodies, vegetation cover, and specially protected natural areas. As a result of the study, the mountain landscapes of the Turkestan region were zoned according to the degree of landscape and recreational potential. The study allows you to get an idea of the availability of natural and recreational resources and determine the priority areas of recreational activities in the study region.
Due to its innovativeness, geotourism is actively developing all over the world. The article discusses the scientific and educational aspects of the development of geotourism in East Kazakhstan thanks to the geomorphological attractiveness of the region. The formation of a national geotourism market based on unique geological and geomorphological objects is relevant because of its innovativeness and possible profit both as a tourist activity and through the creation of a network of global geoparks in Kazakhstan. The article is devoted to the analysis of the recreational-geomorphological attractiveness of the territory and methodological approaches to awareness in domestic and foreign recreational-geomorphological literature. The development of ideas about the importance of the geomorphological structure and dynamics of the relief for recreational activities has been widely developed. It started in Western European tourism practice first and foremost and since the late 1990s of the last century began to develop in the post-Soviet space (in the CIS countries). The paper describes the unique geological and geomorphological natural monuments of the East Kazakhstan region, and the typology of geomorphological features of the region. The author substantiates the possibility of creating a geopark as a backbone tourist territory, contributing to the development of domestic and inbound tourism in the region. The article describes goals and tasks of creating a geopark in the transboundary region of Altai region.
This article is an attempt to assess the natural and recreational potential of the West Kazakhstan region. This technique consists of different stages: assessment of the territory concerning the recreational potential, according to the physical and geographi cal conditions; determination of administrative districts (units) within each of the recreational development zones; inventory of specially protected natural areas.The main criterion for the quantitative assessment was the presence of specially protected natural areas, their number and occupied area. In the course of the study, the analysis of natural and recreational resources was carried out by zones of potential recreationa l development, and the highest priority zones of recreational development were identified.
