Možnosti rozvoje geovědního a montánního turismu na území přírodní rezervace Pechora-Ilych (Republika Komi)

Abstract

This bachelor thesis examines the possibilities of developing geoscience and mountain tourism in the Pechora-Ilych State Nature Biosphere Reserve in the Komi Republic. The thesis defines the theoretical concepts of geoscience and mountain tourism, characterizes the model area in terms of its natural and socio-cultural conditions, and evaluates its potential using a SWOT analysis. The main outcome is a proposal for a circular educational geotourism trail in the vicinity of the village of Yaksha. The proposed walking route is approximately 14 km long, includes sixteen stops, and is intended for a one-day organized visit by small groups with a trained guide. The interpretation of the trail focuses mainly on the fluvial geomorphology of the Pechora River, Quaternary sediments, the geological profile of the area, and the ecosystems of the northern taiga. The proposal was prepared using remote sensing, GIS, and professional literature. The thesis concludes that the area has potential mainly for guided, educational, and low-capacity geoscience tourism, rather than for mass tourism.
