In this article the relief, climatic parameters and landscape differentiation of the territory have been explained for precise evaluation of the recreation potential within Demiraparanchay basin and adjacent areas. On the basis of derived data the schematic maps of the shown area that reveal some climatic parameters have been plotted for the first time in GIS environment and a big-scale (M 1: 100 000) map of recreation potential according to the landscape belt of the study area has been plotted in GIS environment.
During evaluation of the recreational potential of the landscapes special attention was given to geological, geomorphologic characteristics of the area, to comfort degree of the climate (temperature, relative humidity, number of sunny days, solar radiation, etc), to forest cover of the area (forest density, composition of trees, level of humidity, fruit maintenance, etc) and to aesthetics view of landscapes (attractiveness, waterfalls, canyons and etc.) Besides, the elements (floods, landslides, soil erosion, snow falls, soil erosion, the number of cloudy day in recreation days etc.) that make risk and hazard for tourism activities and decrease the level of comfort in landscape have been studied.
