Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to study the geological objects of the Aktobe oblast and their use for the development of
geotourism in the region. The analysis of published materials and field research data shows that the geological objects of the
Aktobe oblast have all the properties and have much possibility to actively develop geotourism which depends on the level of
local management and investments. The GAM method was used to assess geological objects. This method presents various
estimates of main values (MV) and additional values (AV), which are very useful to preserve and develop the territory. As a
result, the method provided different estimates in the development of geotourism.
