Abstract

Human geography studies on children’s tourism and recreation comprise a powerful tool contributing to bold theoretical foundation for the development of children’s tourism and recreation in Ukraine. The purpose of this paper is to develop a cluster model of the children’s tourism and recreation territorial complex in Ukraine. The main goal of this study is achieved by virtue of the review of human geography literature and the use of cluster approach. As a result, this article generalizes the basic forms of geospatial organization of society and economy being in focus of human geography, describes the children’s tourism and recreation territorial complex as an object of human geography, and reveals the cluster structure of the children’s tourism and recreation territorial complex. The paper presents the definitions of “children’s tourism and recreation cluster” and “children’s tourism and recreation territorial complex”, as well as suggests the cluster model of children’s tourism and recreation territorial complex. These theoretical developments will improve on children’s tourism and recreation studies in the field of human geography.
