oa Geoinformation Modelling of Recreational Resources of National Nature Park “Hutsulshchyna”

The Natural Reserves Fund (NRF) has a special environmental and other value and functions to preserve the natural diversity of landscapes, maintain the overall ecological balance and provide background monitoring of the environment (Law of Ukraine “About Nature Reserve Fund of Ukraine”). The preservation, development and effective use of NRF, the formation of a national network of environmental protection areas and its integration into the All-European Econet is an extremely urgent task of Ukraine state policy. Nowadays, NRF protected areas, especially national nature parks, regional landscape parks, etc. have become increasingly popular among tourists. The number of recreants and tourists is increasing. Recreants and tourists are important stakeholders in territory management in Carpathian region. They are interested in staying in natural environment and sites with the uppermost visual attractive values. Recreants most of all need high level of natural resources for treatment and rehabilitation (mineral waters, climatic factors, etc.). ( Liashenko et al., 2021 ). That is why the necessity of sustainable recreational nature management is increasing, too. The most powerful recreational nature management instruments are GIS. These technologies are convenient for describing recreational resources quality and availability. They are useful for spatial data analyses, synthesis and visualizing with modern cartographic resources; web maps, web atlases, tourist web portals, etc.
