Description
Summary:This article proposes criteria for a component-wise integrated assessment of the recreational attractiveness of the landscapes of the Alakol Lake basin. This methodology is based on a component-wise landscape assessment, which consists of the main indicators that make up the landscape: topography, climate, water bodies, and soil and vegetation cover. A comprehensive assessment of the functional suitability of landscapes was carried out. It is in determining the “attractiveness coefficient” for various types of recreational activities. Three types of territories with different degree of recreational attractiveness and functional suitability of landscapes for the further development of recreational activities in the basin of Alakol Lake were identified.
