Bioclimate recreation assessment of cross-border area of Altai
An obligatory condition of healthy life is a recreational activity, which means the totality of the phenomena and relationships arising from the use of free time for recreational, educational, sports, cultural and recreational activities of people in specialized areas that are outside the place of their permanent residence. Multifunctionality of recreation is manifested in the fact that it contributes to the development of physical, aesthetic, psychological, and other qualities of the person. One of the most interesting regions attracting tourists and eco-tourists is the Altai mountain system, which includes the neighboring regions of Russia, Kazakhstan, China and Mongolia. The mountain system includes the Mongolian Altai, Gobi Altai and Russian Altai - the highest part of the mountain range, which is located on the territory of Russia and Kazakhstan. Today, this part of the country is divided into the Mountain (Russian) Rudny Altai and Altai. The assessment of natural recreational resources of the area should begin with the assessment of its bioclimatic conditions, since it determines the specific bio-climate placement and organization of recreation. Climate and recreation potential areas are an important factor in identifying the suitability of areas for recreational development, reflecting the ease of landscape-climatic conditions and the possibility of their use in outdoor and recreation practice. The optimally adapted to mountain conditions is a methodology based on a landscape approach. In the resulting estimates of the Altai transboundary landscape typing the prevailing bioclimate can serve as the basis for zoning. Separate areas, then, will serve as a unit of assessment of other natural recreational resources (hydrological, biological, etc.). The resulting scientific, informational basis will develop recommendations to streamline and coordinate the development of a recreational nature in cross-border mountain areas. The evaluation of comfortable bioclimate and subsequent zoning can conclude that the most favourable bio-climatic conditions for the organization of year-round recreational activities are in Tigireksky, Baschelaksky natural recreational areas, for the summer and part of winter - Katunsky, Katonkaragay, Markakolsky, West Altai, Kurchum natural recreational areas.
