Abstract

The article is dedicated to theoretical and methodological research and the development of an effective model for assessing the potential of health resorts in the Chelyabinsk region based on an analysis of landscape-recreational and medical-climatic conditions. The authors’ model for assessing the potential of health resorts is consistent with program documents implemented in the Chelyabinsk region. Assessment of the potential of health resorts in the Chelyabinsk region will be successful if: 1) as a methodological basis for solving the problem, integrated, systemic, and geographical approaches are used, as fundamental for the implementation of the model; 2) the developed model for assessing the potential of health resorts reflects the combination of substructural blocks: medical and climatic conditions - natural factors of space, atmospheric and terrestrial origin that affect the human body to some extent; landscape-recreational characteristics, which reflect the following components essential for health improvement: relief; water bodies; vegetation cover; 3) the effective functioning of this model will be determined by a set of conditions: a) a phased allocation of the main components based on the analysis of landscape-recreational and medical-climatic conditions of the environment; b) the geographical zoning of the region (mountain, forest-steppe and steppe zones with their own landscapes, water resources, and bioclimatic indicators; c) an assessment of the potential of health resorts in the region will be based on comprehensive studies that require taking into account many parameters, the combination of which determines the integral effect of climate on humans, as well as taking into account anti-resources that reduce the level of favorable environment and sometimes threaten human health. Results: the paper clarifies the essential characteristics of the natural components for assessing the potential of health resorts in the Chelyabinsk region, which reflect the elements necessary for health improvement. The relationships between the structural components of the model are substantiated (the medical and climatic conditions, landscape and recreational characteristics of the region).
