Recreational-geomorphological information support of tourist activities
Abstract
The article analyzes the concept of recreational-geomorphologic information and methodological approaches to its formation in Russian and foreign recreational-geomorphologic literature. The ideas about the importance of geomorphologic structure and dynamics of terrain for recreational activities are widely developed, first of all in West-European touristic practice (Italy, France, Switzerland, Slovakia, Romania, Portugal) and, for example, in Brazil. Since the end of the 1990s they began to develop in Russia.
The present-day Russian geomorphology considers recreational geomorphology as an applied science in the context of applying geomorphologic theory for information support of a tourist product implementation. So far, this area is not well-developed, since not every Park or protected area in Russia is ready to cooperate with geomorphologists. On the one hand, it is because of the difficulties in understanding information about the terrain, its influence on the construction of recreational facilities and performing tourist activities; on the other hand, it is limited by the possibility of financing and targeted spending of funds.
There is a need for scientific assessment and presentation of information about the terrain to the consumer. For example, to a tourist in a national Park through information stands at the points of view with maps and illustrations, describing the history of the territory and the dangerous processes that may occur on the tourist trail. Or to a recreation organizer to assist in selection of representative objects for site seeing, designation of routes, designing stands and booklets, and provisioning of websites.
