Abstract
The purpose of the article is to attempt to unravel one of the tasks of modern recreational geography, which implies a clear formulation of its social functions and the disclosure of a complex of factors for the formation of recreational needs of the individual. The novelty of the work is the outline of clear qualification units of the functional and factor composition of recreational geography, which will contribute to the improvement of the process of organizing recreational activity in specified areas. Such results became possible due to the use of commonly used methods: analysis of literary sources according to the theme, description and comparison. The results are generalization of the factors of formation of recreational needs (socio-economic, demographic, social, medical-biological, natural, economic) and functions of recreational geography (medical-biological, socio-cultural, economic, political). The practical significance of the article lies in the use of versatile views on the problem of studying recreational geography by students-geographers, promoting the diverse views of scientists and researchers on the functional and factor composition of recreational geography.
