Abstract
One of the important steps towards sustainable development of territories is the assessment of the reserves and rate of consumption of natural resources. Such assessments are also supported at the international level. The recreational resources represent the most important type of natural resources for the coastal zone of Crimea. They are the basis for recreational tourism and, therefore, determine the economic status of the peninsula as a whole. Currently, however, the coastal zone of Crimea is being developed quite chaotically. The need for a specialized information system capable of timely reflecting natural and manmade changes in the coastal zones is widely recognized. The paper presents a system that was developed using ESRI ArcGIS formats capable of not only capturing changes occurring in the environment, but to also identifying options for a more efficient use of the recreational resources of the peninsula. The approach and unique algorithms developed by the authors of this paper were applied to four Crimean beaches.

This study is the result of a three-year research and development work by the authors in the field of cadastral assessment of the recreational resources, the beaches of Crimea
The assessment of the individual recreational facilities of Crimea must be accompanied by the evaluation of recreational load
Summary
Assessment of natural resources and environmental management is crucial for sustainable development of territories. Regions where the use of natural resources is a priority for economic development are of a particular importance. One of such regions is the Crimean peninsula. Infrastructure development that facilitates the use of the natural recreational potential represents a crucial economic goal for the region. The recreational potential means an aggregate of natural, cultural, historical, and socio-economic conditions important for organization of recreational activities in a given area [Mironenko and Tverdokhlebov, 1981]. The recreational potential of Crimea, as well as any other type of natural resources, should be zoned and quantified to identify integral resources and recommendations for their most effective utilization. The particular impacts of individual components, have been studied insufficiently
