APPLICATION OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES IN TOURISM GEOGRAPHY: MONITORING OF TOURIST DESTINATIONS AND PLANNING OF RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Keywords: geographic information systems, tourist destinations, spatial planning, recreational development, digital mapping, GIS modeling, resort and recreational region

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the integration of geographic information systems (GIS) into spatial planning and monitoring of tourist destinations, in particular in the context of realization of the tourist potential of Ukraine, with an emphasis on resort locations of the territory. The role of GIS technologies in creating relevant tourist maps, modeling recreational areas and increasing the efficiency of managing the tourist potential of selected territories is analyzed. The purpose of the study is to substantiate approaches to the use of GIS technologies for the analysis, monitoring and spatial planning of tourist and recreational areas aimed at increasing their attractiveness and efficiency of resource use. The study used the GIS platforms ArcGIS Pro and QGIS to create tourist maps and three-dimensional digital terrain models (DTM). The methods of heat mapping, geotag analysis, data vectorization, as well as ArcGIS Kernel Density tools to assess transport accessibility were applied. The study is based on spatial data from open sources (OpenStreetMap), aerial photographs and official registers. An algorithm for creating a geoinformation model of tourist and recreational potential was developed, which includes data vectorization, information standardization, the formation of thematic layers and integration of objects into a single coordinate field. The effectiveness of GIS in visualizing tourist flows, modeling routes and assessing natural, cultural-historical and infrastructure potential was demonstrated. The structure of attribute databases for tourist objects was proposed, which include classification parameters, seasonality, attendance and transport accessibility. Prospects for further research are to improve the methods of collecting and processing geospatial data for creating national and regional tourist GIS portals, develop a single method for assessing tourist resources taking into account natural and geographical features, as well as integrate GIS platforms with artificial intelligence technologies for predicting tourist flows and optimizing recreational planning.
