Abstract

Recreational zoning of landscapes constitutes of the fundamental geographical concepts. Based on the literature we concluded that there is no consensus among researchers regarding the methodology and principles of recreational zoning. Our proposed zoning of the Talysh Mountains region is based on the estimation of the recreational resources of modern landscapes. The recreational resource of the territory is determined on the basis of the following indicators: relief, climatic conditions, vegetation (especially forest one), water objects, aesthetic attractiveness and diversity of the landscape, quality of infrastructure, etc. Recreational resources of individual regions within the investigated territory were determined taking into account their natural landscapes, level of development, significance of certain resources, their structure, etc. Based on these criteria, five recreation areas were identified in Talysh region and corresponding maps have been drawn up.
