Analysis of Transport Infrastructure on the Territory of the Intermunicipal Natural Park in the Shebekino and Belgorod Districts

Abstract

The problem of the development of recreational areas is the contradiction between the recreational needs of the population and the limited opportunities to use the potential of the natural framework in highly urbanized areas. It is proposed to introduce the concept of "inter-municipal natural Park" formulated by the authors into scientific circulation. The study analyses regional and local programs for integrated development of Belgorod and Shebekino districts. It is revealed that the focus is on improving transport and social infrastructure, supporting soil fertility and providing services in the field of cultural and leisure activities of the population. The primary way to manage the flow of tourists is to organize a rational system of transport services. The analysis of the existing transport infrastructure of the inter-municipal natural Park in the Shebekino and Belgorod regions is carried out. The availability of the territory for public, personal transport and pedestrians is analyzed. Five alternative routes to personal and public transport have been developed: pedestrian, bicycle, horse-drawn, motorcycle and water routes that will help to preserve the natural and ecological potential of the territory and meet the diverse needs and interests of recreationists at the local, municipal and regional levels.
