Geo-tourism, an emerging field that focuses on the natural and cultural heritage of a region, offers a unique opportunity to promote sustainable tourism and foster local economic development. This study aims to assess the geo-tourism potential Danube region in Serbia, a natural diverse and culturally rich region of Serbia, Western Balkan, and Southeastern Europe, using a comprehensive methodology that incorporates geo-statistical and machine learning tools. A dataset comprising various geographical, and cultural factors was collected from reliable sources, including, protected areas, tourism statistics, cultural heritage inventories and satellite imagery. Geo-statistical analyses were performed to identify spatial patterns and relationships among the collected variables. Techniques such as spatial autocorrelation, hotspot analysis, and interpolation methods were employed to reveal concentrations of geo-tourism resources, hotspots, clusters, and areas in need of conservation. The results of this study provided valuable insights into the geo-tourism potential of the Danube region. The spatial analysis revealed several hotspots. Machine learning models accurately predicted tourism demand based on variables such as accessibility, cultural heritage, and natural landscapes. These findings can guide policymakers that, using the power of geo-statistical and machine learning tools, the Danube region in Serbia can unlock its full geo-tourism potential.

“…The valuation of landscapes is an increasingly studied issue due to its growing importance in very diverse fields of knowledge, such as urban planning [1,2], real estate market analysis [3], environmental management [4] or the implementation of communication infrastructure [5]. Additionally, in recent years, the analysis of anthropogenic impacts on the landscape has become a determinant parameter for decision making in the evaluation of alternatives of very thriving sectors, such as renewable energy [6] or P2P tourism [7,8]. However, this discipline still often suffers from the absence of rigorous methodological frameworks to assess said impacts in an objective way, both quantitatively and objectively.…”

The evaluation of anthropogenic impacts on the landscape is an issue that has traditionally been carried out from a descriptive or at least somewhat qualitative perspective. However, in recent years, the technological improvements provided by geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial statistics have led to more objective methodological frameworks for analysis based on quantitative approaches. This study proposes an innovative methodological framework for the evaluation of landscape impacts of the usual anthropization phenomena, using a retrospective spatiotemporal analysis based on geostatistical indicators. Various territorial indices have been used to assess the spatiotemporal evolution of fragmentation of the built-up urban fabric, the construction of roads or linear communication works and the changes in land use. These phenomena have been statistically correlated with objective indicators of the landscape’s intrinsic value. The analysis of said spatial statistical correlation has been applied to three different but neighboring environments in the region of Murcia, located in the southeast of Mediterranean Spain, providing interesting results on the objective impact of each of these phenomena on the landscape and depending on the boundary conditions.
