Peculiarities of design of ecological trails of Nadsluschan regional landscape park for materials of remote surveys and means of GIS

The purpose of this work is to design the routes of ecological trails according to modern technologies (for example, Nadsluchansky Regional Landscape Park) for recreational development and use of territories. The park itself is located in the Rivne region in the valley of the river Sluch, covers an area of over 17 thousand hectares and includes many sites of environmental, historical and recreational importance. Method. Preliminary design of ecological trails was performed on the basis of satellite imagery (radar images Sentinel-1 and multispectral Sentinel-2), which are distinguished by many important features, among which, above all, note the high frequency of imaging, global coverage, the availability of and free access to research. To perform this task, digital terrain models, thematic and index maps, composite images were obtained. At the final stage of modeling, specialized ArcGIS software was used. Results. As a result of the performed work, 5 routes of pedestrian and 2 equestrian health-cognitive ecological trails with corresponding maps, profiles, catalogs of coordinates, descriptions of routes and viewpoints, photos, etc. were designed. Scientific novelty and practical significance. To create routes of ecological trails, the proposed technique was implemented for the first time and proved its effectiveness. It allowed to achieve a significant reduction in the duration of work, the cost of field research and take into account the necessary features of the territory. Prior to that, there were no such trails in the Nadsluchansky Landscape Park. As the ecological tourist network in Ukraine has not yet been formed, the use of this approach at other sites of environmental importance will allow faster and more efficient development of this important segment, and it will help solve a number of environmental, cultural, social and economic problems. The information provided also provides an opportunity for those wishing to use such smartphones to make such trips on their own.
