Abstract:
In this article geotourism is considered as a basis for use and conservation of soils of beligerative landscape complexes. The viability of geotouristic use of such soils has been proven through the disclosure of the format and forms of its development. Effective types of formats and forms of geotouristic use of the studied soils are determined. Field and laboratory on-line master classes of interaction with the soil have been developed and experimentally implemented in practice. The integration of soil information into geotours has been done to increase its adaptability, nonlinearity and interactivity. To assess the effectiveness of the geotour, statistical calculations and anonymous questionnaires were conducted. The results of the introduction of the soil component to the geotour were used in the development and implementation of the grant project given by the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation. Geotourism use of soils of beligerative landscapes is an effective means of its conservatio
n with economic development at the same time. In geotour the soil of the beligerative complex plays the role of the primary link of natural-anthropogenic interaction and is a clear demonstration of its historical result. Studies of buried soils of belogerative complexes allow to recreate paleogeographic conditions, reconstruct paleolandscapes, draw conclusions about the climate of the past and on this basis to predict future climate change.
