Abstract

The method of cartographic interpretation of information on recreational mobility of the population of urban and rural territories of recreational areas of Crimea is considered. Recreational mobility of the population, according to the author’s version, can serve as an indicator of people’s lifestyle. For the rural population of Crimea, the lifestyle was actualized as an opportunity to use free time not related to work in the field of agriculture. The authors conducted public opinion polls of Crimean residents in 2019 and 2021. The purpose of the surveys was to form a spatial model of intra-Crimean recreational mobility of people and the possibility of its cartographic confirmation in the process of studying the social mobility of rural residents. The recreational mobility of the population was taken into account in the cartographic plots of its preferences regarding the types and seasons of recreation, the range and frequency of trips to rest. To identify the features of rural lifestyle, the authors used a comparison of the characteristics of recreational and social mobility of the population. The social mobility of the population of rural areas was determined in the process of a public opinion poll of rural residents, which allows authors to conclude that they have a desire to connect their own and the future of children with life in the village. The maps have been developed confirming the low recreational mobility of rural residents of the peripheral territories of the Crimea. The conclusion is made about the dependence of this type of movement on the features of transport accessibility of places of residence of the rural population, as well as pricing policy on public transport. In the lifestyle of the population of the Crimean periphery—the Northern and most of the Central recreational areas, where almost two-thirds of residents live in rural areas, traditional trips for the purpose of bathing and beach holidays are poorly represented. The lifestyle of these territories, as well as the peripheral Northwestern and Eastern recreational areas of Crimea, has practically no mobility associated with health improvement. One of the reasons for the high social mobility of the rural population of the peripheral regions of Crimea may be the weak transformation of their lifestyle, manifested in the structure of preferences in recreation.
