 Abstract:

The characteristics of formation of the historical and cultural value of Absheron reserves under the effect of landscape changes in preserved areas were studied. The study used field and desktop research methods (analysis of library and archive historical, cartographical, and literary material on the history of formation of the historical and cultural heritage and landscape of the Absheron Peninsula). The Absheron Peninsula is characterized by peculiar physical and geographic conditions, which play a major role in the formation of the ecological situation. Recommendations were formulated to solve the discovered problems of development of Absheron reserves, based on existing advantages and characteristics of the landscape. In particular, practical recommendations are given to improve the conditions of development of Absheron Peninsular reserves; a system of generalized and structured directions for preserving and developing the historical, cultural, and natural heritage of the Absheron Peninsular reserve fund. The improvement of the situation with the preservation of the natural landscape will facilitate the development of tourism.
