The article conducts a study of the current state of development of the natural and recreational potential of th e Southern Altai. The problems that currently hinder the development of tourism sectors in this territory are considered and ways to solve them are proposed. With the accelerated growth of global tourism and recreation, demand for certain regions of Kazakhstan is increasing. The assessment of the natural and recreational potential of Southern Altai was carried out taking into account the bioclimatic state of natural and recreational areas. When assessing the natural and recreational resources o f the study area, our study assessed the shape of the relief, bioclimate, hydrology and flora. The results of the study allow us to propose specialized and multi-thematic routes connecting the main natural and cultural attractions of the main recreation areas for international and domestic tourists, as well as for educational and educational field programs and research trips. The study of the territorial and recreational potential of a mountainous region has its own characteristics, since, compared with plain territories, its knowledge is insufficient.

The article reviews the methodology for assessing water bodies in the territories of Western and Central Kazakhstan. The concept of sustainable development of the region for recreational activities of this study is relevant. Literary sources of research of lakes of Western, Northern, and Central Kazakhstan are analyzed. The study area has excellent opportunities for the development of certain types of tourism. As a result of topographic and bathymetric surveys of water resources of geosystems, the most reliable morphometric data were obtained. Analyzing of the results of remote sensing data processing and index mapping made it possible to assess the area of lakes and determine their main metric characteristics. The article also evaluates the accuracy of the results obtained using various remote sensing materials. The geographical position of the lakes causes differences in the factors of formation of their hydrological regime. The altitude position of the studied lakes is also manifested in the peculiarity of the course of long-term changes in their characteristics. These received and processed research materials will be used for tourist and recreational activities. Recommendations on the tourist and recreational use of lake systems of Kazakhstan are given.

This article presents the criteria for a component integral assessment of the landscape and recreational attractiveness of the mountainous territories of the Turkestan region. The method is based on a component assessment of landscapes, which consists of the main indicators that make up the landscape: relief, climate, water bodies, vegetation cover, and specially protected natural areas. As a result of the study, the mountain landscapes of the Turkestan region were zoned according to the degree of landscape and recreational potential. The study allows you to get an idea of the availability of natural and recreational resources and determine the priority areas of recreational activities in the study region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.

The main purpose of this article is an assessment of the natural-recreational resources of the Akmola region (based on the example of the Shchuchinsk-Borovoye resort area) for their conservation and effective use with a priority for tourism development. The basic natural-recreational resources of the Shchuchinsk-Borovoye resort area are hydrological, botanical and geomorphological resources. The physical -geographical features of the lakes are considered from the point of view of tourist potential (absolute height of the relief, depth and area of the lakes, climate, transport accessibility) in order to assess the hydrological resources. Assessment of the tourist potential of the botanical resource was made on the basis of score-card system according to the degree of suitability for the development of tourism. Also, the results of assessing the tourist potential of geomorphological resources by morphometric indicators are presented in the article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
