Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to assess the recreational load on forest landscapes within the Kostanay region. In this
study, a landscape-dynamic basis is used to identify the relationship of recreational load in various types of natural complexes.
An integral indicator of recreational load was calculated for each studied forest landscape and the stages of recreational
digression were determined. The surveyed forests are located in an area with high attendance and are characterized by stages III
and IV of digression. Especially high loads are carried by the forests of Arakaragai, which has a very dense network of paths.
