EXPERIENCE OF AUTOMATED CONSTRUCTION OF RECREATION ALCYCLE ROUTES IN MILLION-CITIES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE CITYOF NUR-SULTAN)

Abstract

The paper analyzes typical problems of automating the design of recreational cycle route in large cities using the example of Nur-Sultan city, which is a rapidly developing center of tourism in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The employed automated multi-criteria analysis takes into account the suitability of the road network for organizing cycle routes, the distance to the main tourist’s attraction sites, accommodations and bike rental stations, city sites and parks. These factors can be used to make recommendations for planning recreationa; routes. The analysis was performed automatically using the ArcGIS software package and its ModelBuilder add-on module and as a result the model for automatically spatial planning of recreational cycle route networks was developed. The algorithm was tested using the example of the city of Nur-Sultan. The proposed cycle route network for Nur-Sultan complements the existing cycling infrastructure.
