MOUNTAIN PEAKS AS PLACES OF TRANSGRESSION. A ROMANTIC VERSIONThe author of the article uses Mircea Eliade’s and Yi Fu-Tuan’s methodological concepts concerning interpretation and poetics of space to apply them in her analysis of characteristic forms of reaction and behaviour of Romantic tourists in the mountains. She discusses the frenetic, fantastic and phantasmagorical visions evoked by the landscape in the mountains. What became a carrier of important meanings in interpretations of landscape was the top-bottom/high-low opposition. The vastness of mountain landscape seen from a high mountain peak the highest peak in a given area stimulated the imagination to see it not only in the physical sense but also through the “eyes of the soul”, going beyond the horizon. This created a possibility of attributing important symbolic meanings to landscape.

The results of the study of anthropization of valuable natural territorial complexes of the subalpine and alpine highlands of Chornohora under the influence of recreational and tourist activities in the vicinity of Brebeneskul Lake (Ukrainian Carpathians) are presented. Anthropization is caused by continuous cutting of bushes, clogging and trampling. The study is based on the results of expeditionary field research. A map of degradation centers of natural territorial complexes of the subalpine and alpine highlands of Chornohora in the vicinity of Brebeneskul Lake on a scale of 1 : 10 000 at the level of simple tracts and subtracts with the use of modern mapping methods is made. Peculiarities of formation, area and configuration, as well as landscape differentiation of centers of development of degradation processes of high-mountain landscape complexes in the vicinity of Brebeneskul Lake are analyzed. It is established that the most recreational load is experienced by the complex tract of my-boulder moraine-scree bottom of the Brebeneskul Cirque of the south-eastern exposition. The cutting of mountain pine (Pinus mugo Turra) and littering on the area of about 0,8 ha, trampling of the soil and vegetation cover on the area of 1,0 ha were recorded here. The deterioration of the ecological situation in the vicinity of Brebeneskul Lake is the result of unorganized recreational and tourist activities. Recommendations for reducing the negative impact of recreational activities and reducing the degradation of natural territorial complexes subalpine and alpine highlands of Chornohora in the vicinity of Brebeneskul Lake are outlined.

The Impact

<p>The experience of interdisciplinary studies of the impact of urbanization on the resort and recreation potential of the mountainous territories of the North Caucasus (MTNC) for the purposes of medical balneology and recreational recreation is considered.</p><p>The State Register of Natural curative resources (NCR) of MTNC includes unique mineral waters and natural peloids of various physicochemical and microbiological composition, a favorable climate, and a picturesque mountain landscape that are integrated into the existing and rapidly developing complex socio-ecological resort and recreation infrastructure and system of spa treatment and recreation. The risks of the mountain resort and recreation ecosystem include high sensitivity to climate changes and anthropogenic impacts.</p><p>High demand for resort and recreational services of MTNC and increasing urbanization initiated the development of comprehensive monitoring studies of the dynamics of the state of NCR, experimental studies on action mechanisms of natural healing factors and the development of a model for ranking mountain areas by integrated resort and recreation potential (IRRP):</p><p> </p><p>IRRP = ∑ (IMgmr + IMbkr + IMgl) // n, where IMgmr, IMbkr, IMgl are integrated modules (indicators) of hydromineral, bioclimatic and landscape resources.</p><p> </p><p>The model includes three large blocks of monitoring studies of many natural parameters that characterize the properties of underground mineral waters and natural peloids; bioclimatic functions (comfort degree and biotropy), topographic features, vegetation, soils, picturesque and attractive mountain landscape. The modular approach adopted in balneology of medico-biological categorization of NCR parameters established in an experiment or in experimental researches made it possible to overcome the differences in units of measurement of the results of multifactor natural monitoring [1, 2].</p><p>Conclusion - the integrative approach adopted in the work to assess the resort and recreational potential of the highlands made it possible to evaluate contractivity (comfort, health and pathogenic functions), stability, diversity, attractiveness of natural complexes of the federal resorts of the North Caucasus, to substantiate the priorities for the territorial development of resort and recreational infrastructure in the resort region of Caucasian Mineral Waters, the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.</p><p> </p><p><strong>References</strong></p><p>1.Resort study of Caucasian Mineralnye Vody region / Under the general edition of the prof.

The Impact

Photogrammetry has been used since long time to periodically control the evolution of landslides, either from aerial images as well as from ground. Landslides control and monitoring systems face a large variety of cases and situations: in hardly accessible environments, like glacial areas and high mountain locations, it is not simple finding a survey method and a measurement control system, which are capable to reliably assess, with low costs, the expected displacement and its accuracy. For this reason, the behaviour of these events presents the geologists and the surveyor each time with different challenges. The use of UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) represents, in this context, a recent and valid option to perform the data acquisition both in safety and quickly, avoiding hazards and risks for the operators while at the same time containing the costs. The paper presents an innovative monitoring system based on UAS-photogrammetry, GNSS survey and DSM change detection techniques to evaluate the Gran Sommetta rock glacier surface movements over the period 2012-2014. Since 2012, the surface movements of the glacier are monitored by ARPAVdA (a regional environmental protection agency) as a case study for the impact of climate change on high-mountain infrastructures. In such scenarios, in fact, a low-cost monitoring activity can provide important data to improve our knowledge about glacier dynamics connected to climate changes and to prevent risks in anthropic Alps areas. To evaluate the displacements of the rock glacier different techniques were proposed: the most reliable uses the orthophoto of the area and rely on a manual identification of corresponding features performed by a trained operator. To further limit the costs and improve the density of displacement information two automatic procedures were developed as well.
