The article discusses the results of assessing the recreational disturbance of forest massifs within the Kostanay
region. The objective of this research is to assess the recreational disturbance of forests in the Kostanay region based on field
data utilizing GIS. In the first stage of the work, evaluation indicators and observation points were selected in each forest
massif. Recreational disturbance was assessed using ArcGIS 10.8 software and by introducing weighted coefficients for
individual indicators. The research indicated that the natural environment near the "Sosnovy Bor" sanatorium, located in an
area with high visitor traffic, is in a relatively disturbed condition.
