Currently, reconstruction and redevelopment of inhabited areas is taking place in the natural area of Lankaran, and the area of construction work is also increasing in new, previously undeveloped areas, primarily due to the intensive development of the tourism and recreational industry. The high-quality functioning of the territory is unrealistic w...

In recent decades, as a result of global warming and increased development of mountain areas, which are highly sensitive to anthropogenic impacts, there has been a rapid increase in the number and scale of natural disasters accompanied by material damage and even death of people. An increase in anthropogenic impact on the mid- and high-mountain geo...

The relief, which is both an object and a condition for recreational and tourist activi-ties, in most cases, determines the recreational and touristic specialization of the terri-tory and this is the reason why its comprehensive analysis and study are required. It was unraveled that the significance of the relief forms in the development of tourism...

Problem statement. Azerbaijan is making a lot of efforts to reduce the impact of dangerous geological processes on natural geosystems, but they still cause huge damage. To a greater extent, the region of the Greater Caucasus, namely the southern slope, is subject to such processes, where the whole range of dangerous geological processes occurs: ear...

Problem statement. The increased human pressure on natural geo-complexes is causing the revival of undesirable processes that create an extensive risk for the inhabitants of these regions. Alpine-type orogenic zones, which belong to the northeastern slope of the Greater Caucasus, are distinguished from many geomorphological systems by excessive act...

The southeast tip of Greater Caucasus which is entering borders of Azerbaijan and being part of the Alpine and Himalaya geosynclinal belt, is characterized by high dynamism exogenous the relief forming the processes having essential impact on development of a landscape situation. In this regard there is a need of development of various methods for...

Destructive natural phenomena are a serious, sometimes unsolvable, regional and local environmental and socioeconomic problem. This paper presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of materials from long-term geomorphological and landscape studies in the mountainous areas of Azerbaijan. The dangerous geomorphological processes in Azerbaijan w...

Features of the torrential processes happening on the territory of Greater Caucasus are investigated. A brief description of the geomorphologic structure of the Greater Caucasus is given. It was established that the combination of favorable morph-tectonic, geo-morphological, climatic, litho-logical and other conditions for the passing of gravitatio...

The Southeast extremity of the Great Caucasus which are entering into limits of Azerbaijan is characterized by high dynamism of exogenic relief forming processes, making essential impact on development of a landscape situation. Thereupon there is a necessity of working out of various methods for construction of scenarios of possible changes of a ge...

Intensive development of buildings in mountainous areas makes necessary to estimate the geodynamic risks caused by active dangerous endogenic and exogenous geomorphological processes. Active landslip events are bearing threat particularly in regard to the activity of infrastructural and tourism facilities, and their emergence leads to gross materia...
