Abstract:
The article presents the prospects for the development of natural and recreational activities in the field of
medical and health tourism within the ribbon pine forest, located in the southern outskirts of the West Siberian dry steppe
lowland. The purpose of the study is to assess the biological and geographical potential of the forest landscape for the
development of recreational areas. This is especially true for the Northern region of Kazakhstan, since industry is developed on
the territory, it is characterized by technogenesis. Research methods include field reconnaissance, cartographic modeling using
GIS technologies, and laboratory experiments to determine the phytoncide activity of the biological material of trees – Scots pine
– collected at different intervals of the day. The results of the study are statistical data on laboratory research. For convenience,
they are presented in the form of cartographic material, built based on spatial data of the territory. The paper considers and
addresses the ecosystem’s natural potential and the recreational infrastructure of the studied object.
