Risks of Sustainable Environmental Management for the Purpose of Developing Regional Tourism (on the Example of the Lankaran Natural Region)

Currently, reconstruction and redevelopment of inhabited areas is taking place in the natural area of Lankaran, and the area of construction work is also increasing in new, previously undeveloped areas, primarily due to the intensive development of the tourism and recreational industry. The high-quality functioning of the territory is unrealistic without taking into account the factors and patterns of manifestation of landslide processes, the dynamics and forecast of their development. During the study, a pattern of expansion of landslide processes was identified and the intensity of their manifestation was analysed. To study landslide processes, in addition to expeditionary geological-geomorphological, landscape work and stock materials, remote sensing data was used. When conducting landslide hazard analysis, high-resolution satellite images (CNES/Airbus, Maxar Technologies (GeoEye-1), and medium-resolution Sentinel-2A and 2B satellite images were mainly used. Visual and semiautomatic decoding (classification with training) was carried out in the ArcGIS environment. The compiled map for assessing the recreational potential of landscapes is recommended to use as monitoring and timely response to the state of the landscape-geological-geomorphological situation in the Lankaran natural area.
