The publication is devoted to the study and classification of zoning of recreational facilities for their possible use and development of the tourism industry in the North Kazakhstan region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The obtained data characterizing natural and recreational objects, allowing to create a picture of their spatial placement, by the administrative districts of the region, are studied. The conducted study of recreational facilities allowed them to be zoned. These aspects allowed us to determine the degree of their demand, to identify objects already used or recommended for use as objects in the tourism industry. A cartographic material has been prepared that visually reflects the opportunities, problems and prospects for the development of the tourism industry in the region In the studied territory, recreational objects are identified, which, according to a number of similar features, we combine into five types: natural, natural-technical, architectural, historical-revolutionary, archaeological. The natural territories of the North Kazakhstan region considered by us were united into five recreational districts.

The conducted research is aimed at assessing the current state of the tourist and recreational potential of the lake system in the region of North Kazakhstan (Kazakhstan). The research included the relationship between the distribution and natural diversity of reservoirs and landscapes and the density of the transport network of the studied region in the administrative division of the region. The aim of the research undertaken is to indicate the spatial differentiation of the conditions for the development of tourism in relation to the degree of lake density and transport accessibility. The quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the lakes in terms of spatial diversity and transport accessibility in the region were presented. The analysis of the natural and recreational potential, with the use of statistical methods, satellite images, comparative analysis and field studies, made it possible to identify lake ecosystems that are already used or recommended for use as objects in tourism, as well as in the national economy. The analysis of the road network allows to conclude that its density, despite the higher indicators than the national average, does not fully allow the use of the region's tourist potential and may constitute a barrier to its development.

To consider the possibility of developing ecological tourism in the districts of the North Kazakhstan region of the Republic of Kazakhstan, based on the conducted sociological research and the available natural and recreational potential. The analysis of the conducted sociological survey is given, using methods of statistical and mathematical processing. Visualization of the presented materials was carried out by means of mapping. The study and analysis of the data obtained allowed us to reveal the natural and recreational potential of the studied areas and determine the degree of their demand as objects for tourism development. The results of the sociological survey determined the possibility and necessity of the development of regional ecological tourism, the uniqueness of local natural and recreational facilities by respondents. A cartographic material has been prepared that clearly reflects the opportunities, problems and prospects for the development of the tourism industry in the region. The natural and recreational potential of the territory of the North Kazakhstan region is certainly of interest. Natural and recreational facilities that are potential for the development of the tourism industry in the North Kazakhstan region have been identified on the territory of the studied areas. The border position of the North Kazakhstan region makes it possible for tourists from Russia to visit it. The results of the sociological survey allow us to conclude that the study of the native land has a positive effect on the patriotic education of the younger generation, and is also one of the factors in the development of eco-tourism.

The solution to the problems of enhancing the yield of grain crops in current agriculture development is not conceivable without applying new land processing technology and using mineral fertilizers. Simultaneously, to obtain environmentally friendly products in organic farming, it is required to use mineral organic fertilizers in large quantities. For these purposes, we developed manufacturing technology and proposed the extract of “Saprolin.” This extract, obtained from organogenic lake storage, is supposed to be used for pre-sowing seed treatment, contributing to providing the planting material with biologically active substances, macro- and microelements, and natural soil conservation. During the production of the extract from the obtained source material, solutions of different concentrations were prepared, and their features (viscosity, density, electrical conductivity, refractive index, and pH of the medium) were studied. Using the wheat seeds “Novosibirskaya-31” and barley “Astana-2000” as an example, under the influence of solutions of the obtained extract, the germination and vigor of seeds were determined. As it was proved in experiments, the obtained extract is a good germination stimulant for grain crop seeds. It has a greater effect on seed vigor. Nevertheless, seeds with high vigor are the most viable, give good yield, and provide high-quality products. The germination rate significantly affects plants’ survival, shows the speed of their growth, and characterizes the ability of seeds to germinate in the field evenly (good uniformity). The research determines the germination and vigor of seeds using processing solutions of different concentrations. The research shows that the obtained extract of “Saprolin” increases the germination of seeds of grain crops by 1%–9% and vigor by 12%–19%. The extract of “Saprolin” is classified as a herbal stimulant containing a water-soluble natural mineral substance for improving plant nutrition.

Introduction. The article attempts to analyze the dynamics of the number and features of the distribution of the Finno-Ugric peoples on the territory of Kazakhstan at the end of XX – beginning of XXI century. Materials and Methods. The research is based on statistical data from the population censuses of Kazakhstan and the USSR in 1970–2009 and literature on this scientific topic. The study is based on comparative-historical, statistical and systematic approaches, which allowed us to reveal the dynamics of the ethnogeographic development of the Finno-Ugric peoples. Results and Discussion. Thirteen Finno-Ugric peoples currently live on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Based on the analysis of the data of the last five population censuses, it assumes about the relationship between the number of ethnic groups and the number of peoples similar in language and culture, with the political situation in the country, social and cultural conditions. It considers the topic of settlement of the Finno-Ugric peoples in the regions of Kazakhstan. Conclusion. The Finno-Ugric peoples living on the territory of Kazakhstan since the end of the XIX century, retain their connection with their historical homeland, cultural and ethnic identity. After the collapse of the of the Soviet Union, the majority of the Finno-Ugric peoples began to decline rapidly, due to the active outflow of the population to their ethnic homeland and to other CIS countries.

The possibilities of using the free Google My Maps service for cartographic visualization of independently developed tourist routes are considered. The research is carried out on the example of one of the variants of the author’s tourist and local history bicycle route of the weekend-on the territory of the Saransk-Ruzaevka industrial hub, the largest in the Republic of Mordovia. Key stations of the route—reference points, confined to historical, cultural and/or natural attractions, are located in the cities of Saransk and Ruzaevka, and their immediate surroundings. The result of the visualization of the route is presented in the form of a map, with the overlay of its individual sections, infrastructure and recreational facilities. The sequential connection of layers and/or previously prepared routes in the service allows the user to easily navigate the features of the spatial movement of key route stations. In the process of studying the features of using the service, the possibilities of adding the semantics of individual route objects were clarified, which allows the user, within the framework of one service, to get acquainted in detail with all reliable information about the object of interest. The Google My Maps service can contain in one layer all types of vector representation of spatial data, which makes it possible to create detailed detailed excursion plans for tourist and recreational objects and territories. If the corresponding icon is located in the immediate vicinity of the transport highway, the application will display the corresponding panoramic photo. This allows the user to get acquainted with all the reliable information about the object of interest within one service. The possibilities of the service may be useful to public authorities, enterprises in the sphere of tourism and hospitality, administrations of educational institutions; students and all interested parties.
