Abstract

The aim of the paper is to analyse, whether and to what degree that tourism is a way of rejuvenating shrinking cities located on the coast. The research is based on three cities, and the adjacent regions, located in Uzbekistan (Mo'noq), Romania (Sulina) and Georgia-Abkhazia (Sukhumi). Tourist attractions connected with nature, culture, history and cuisine are examined, along with the land use and tourist infrastructure. The research indicates that the three sites have great tourism potential, with a focus on nature-oriented tourism. It also suggests that infrastructure, transport, access to information and land use can have a strong, positive or negative impact on tourism attractiveness. Additionally, the threats that uncontrolled tourism can bring are considered - it has been shown that unsustainable tourism and an excessive influx of tourists are threats to the environment and to local societies. A balance between economic and environmental value should therefore be maintained in the process of developing tourism.

参观生锈的船。旅游是振兴沿海地区萎缩城镇的战略

本文的目的是分析旅游业是否以及在多大程度上是振兴沿海萎缩城市的一种方式。这项研究基于乌兹别克斯坦(莫诺克)、罗马尼亚(苏利纳)和格鲁吉亚-阿布哈兹(苏呼米)三个城市及其邻近地区。考察与自然、文化、历史和美食相关的旅游景点，以及土地利用和旅游基础设施。研究表明，这三个景点具有很大的旅游潜力，以自然旅游为重点。研究还表明，基础设施、交通、信息获取和土地利用都可能对旅游吸引力产生强烈的、积极的或消极的影响。此外，还考虑了不受控制的旅游业可能带来的威胁——事实表明，不可持续的旅游业和游客的过度涌入是对环境和当地社会的威胁。因此，在发展旅游业的过程中应保持经济价值和环境价值之间的平衡。

期刊介绍： The half-yearly journal Global Environment: A Journal of History and Natural and Social Sciences acts as a forum and echo chamber for ongoing studies on the environment and world history, with special focus on modern and contemporary topics. Our intent is to gather and stimulate scholarship that, despite a diversity of approaches and themes, shares an environmental perspective on world history in its various facets, including economic development, social relations, production government, and international relations. One of the journal’s main commitments is to bring together different areas of expertise in both the natural and the social sciences to facilitate a common language and a common perspective in the study of history. This commitment is fulfilled by way of peer-reviewed research articles and also by interviews and other special features. Global Environment strives to transcend the western-centric and ‘developist’ bias that has dominated international environmental historiography so far and to favour the emergence of spatially and culturally diversified points of view. It seeks to replace the notion of ‘hierarchy’ with those of ‘relationship’ and ‘exchange’ – between continents, states, regions, cities, central zones and peripheral areas – in studying the construction or destruction of environments and ecosystems.
