Abstract

The approaches to qualitative and quantitative evaluation of recreational-geomorphological potential based on the study of geomorphological safety and attractiveness was applied to the coastal areas of the White and Baltic Seas. The two coasts differ in geomorphological structure, and tourist activities, but they both are attractive for visitors at any time of the year. For more effective conduct of activities in the study areas, it is necessary to take into account the presence of natural monuments, infrastructure development, activity of dangerous processes, historical and cultural characteristics of the area, etc. The best way is to apply different coefficients that give a comprehensive assessment of the territory. The special and integrated indicators obtained in this study can be used for zoning in terms of safety and attractiveness when creating a new tourism product and decision-making related to the foundation and functioning of recreation zones and systems.
