These special problems are connected to the general processes of integration of our state in the world community, ratification of some basic international documents on biodiversity, and transboundary influences on environment. On the one hand, there are given all conditions for the development of ecotourism as most "sparing" form of this economic activity, on the other hand, the given development restrains a number of factors, including economic and natural. The fragile coastal and mountain ecosystem of Crimea requires a special approach on the management of ecotourism. 1 Nature Reserve Net of Ukraine as basis for ecotourism development The Nature-Reserve Net (NRN) of Ukraine links the natural richness of the Country and contents especially protected natural territories of different status (nation-wide and local). In 1999 NRN included 6.728 territories and objects with a total area of 2.354,2 hectares, that covers 3,9% of State territory. The Ukraine contributes following categories of protected areas: • 4 Biosphere reserves (226,7 hectares or 9,6 % share of the total area of the Ukraine), • 16 Natural reserves (113.7 hectares, 4.8 %), • 10 National Nature Parks (492,3 hectares, 20.9 %), • 2.384 Reserves (1.001,8 hectare, 42.6 %), • 2.963 Nature Sanctuaries, • 34 Dendrology Parks (1,42 hectares, 0.06 %), • 514 Parks - Monument of landscape art, • 22 Botanical gardens (2,02 hectare, 0.1 %), • 12 Zoological parks (0,4 hectares, 0.02 %), • 26 Regional Landscape Parks (404.8 hectare, 17.2 %), and • 746 Reserved Natural Boundaries (78,6 hectares, 3.3 %). In 1998 the ecological net of Ukraine has been extended by 108 objects or 145 thousand hectares. The perspective net of natural-reserved objects of Ukraine includes, for example, within the limits of the Autonomous Republic Crimea “Tarkchankut Natural Reserve” (round about 20 thousand hectare), the “Crimean National Park” (round about 25 thousand hectare, rough term reserved - 2015), National Park "Chatir-Dag" (5 thousand hectare, 2014), etc. (S.Popovich, M.Stetsenko's data, 1999). In 2001 Ukraine NRN contented already 6.939 territories and objects with the total area of 2.508.7 hectares that are 4,16 % of the total area of Ukraine. In the period since 1992 (for 9 years) the total area of the country PZS has increased almost twice to 1191.9 thousand hectares. This extension took place for the account concerning new categories of nature protection territories - Biosphere Reserves, National Parks and Regional Landscape Parks (from "the National report on a condition of the surrounding natural environment in Ukraine in 2000"). The system of NRN in the Ukraine forms the potential for ecological sound tourism. The development of ecotourism activities in National Parks and Park-Monuments of Landscape Art is based on the "Projects of the organization of territory" which contents the functional zoning in view of the development of various kinds of tourism, including ecological sound 3 International Workshop ''Tourism in Mountain Areas'' The tourism potentials and impacts in protected mountain areas – The case study of “Yalta Mountain Wood” Natural Reserve tourism. So, for example in the “Сarpathian National Park” tourism development started in the 70-80 of the 19th century; in this time nearly 50 ecological routes were developed and maintained (information by Gotsul L.F., 1990). “Shatsky National Park” is annually visited by 100.000 tourists. However, any National Park is an object of overlapping interests. In the second half of the 20th century the awareness of “dichotomy ideas” arose, in which the conflict is initially incorporated. Preservation of nature can hardly be combined with millions of visitors. In many parks recreational use began to influence the nature more strongly, than protection strategies can manage. National Park administrations now face the question how to influence the behaviour of tourists from the view of nature protection (Zabelin, 1987, with 3). Even more difficulties are caused by the tasks of wildlife management in the Biosphere Reserves and National Parks of Ukraine; the different economic activities, including ecotourism, are considerably limited. The situation of ecotourism development differs in the regions of the country. The highest concentration is in the western and southwest regions of Ukraine where various natural landscapes are preserved. Carpathian Mountains and Crimea are part of this area. However, it is necessary to note, what exactly similar vulnerable mountain territories are priority objects of ecological sound tourism. Hence, there is a dilemma connected to the basic question: how it is possible to develop tourism, not causing essential damage to vulnerable especially protected mountain territories, and keeping a biological diversity. The situation is aggravated also with that in Ukraine. At administrative level the concept of ecological sound tourism which would generate the basic tourism development framework now is still not accepted. The absence of a similar Official Concept has negative effects on the development of ecotourism which has significantly improved recreational resources. Territories of an improving recreational network of Ukraine with the total area of about 7.7 million hectare, that is 12.7 % of the state territory, are concentrated in Black Sea's, Crimean, Carpathian and other regions. From this resource potential only 2.3 - 2.5 million hectares today are used. The greatest recreational pressure is visible at the shore of the Àçîâî-Black Sea coast (from "The National report on a condition of the surrounding natural environment in Ukraine in 2000"). 2 Institutional and legislative framework Different Committees in the Supreme Soviet of Ukraine are dealt with the topic of tourism development and protection of the natural environment • The Committee of youth politics, physical training, sports and tourism; • The Committee of an ecological politics, wildlife management and liquidation of consequences of the Chernobyl accident; • The State tourist administration of Ukraine, • And others. The control over processes of ecological tourism, especially in borders of NRN, it is carried out by the Ministry of ecology and natural resources of Ukraine, and the Nature Protection Office of Public Prosecutor. In the Autonomous republic Crimea the Ministry of Resorts and Tourism, the Republican Committee on ecology and natural resources, Republican committee on Forestry and Hunting are engaged in similar questions. In Crimea "the Crimean Association of travel agencies" (CАТА) operates widely enough whose members have special licenses for tourist activities and are engaged including in the organization of 4 International Workshop ''Tourism in Mountain Areas'' The tourism potentials and impacts in protected mountain areas – The case study of “Yalta Mountain Wood” Natural Reserve ecological tourism. However, an special Committee on ecological tourism in Ukraine and in Crimea is absent. Now in Ukraine the Law "About tourism" in which it is necessary to provide a definition "ecological tourism" is developed. The name "ecological tourism" frequently is used by many travel companies for a more successful promotion of the goods in the service market as the word "ecotourism" sounds more attractively, than simply "tourism". However ecological tourism is not simply a beautiful word, it is a completely independent phenomenon: it means a way of visiting various regions with a careful attitude to environment, and also to traditions and customs of local residents which are the in the central interest of travellers and tourist operators. An official definition of the concept "ecological tourism should be based on the following principles: • Sustainable use of natural resources; • Maintenance and preservation of the natural, social and cultural variety; • Careful planning, on basis of a comprehensive approach, by integration of ecotourism in regional development plans; • Support of local economy; participation of local population in development of tourism and reception of financial and other advantages from tourism; • Increase of a level of ecological awareness

  • Mountainous Crimea: a Frontier Zone of Ancient Civilization
    Mountainous Crimea: A Frontier Zone of Ancient Civilization Natalia G. Novičenkova Mountainous Crimea, Taurica, was a region separated from the ancient cen- ters of the peninsula and the communication lines connecting Chersonesos and the Bosporan Kingdom. This region is not particularly well studied and therefore it has been impossible to trace its development in Antiquity, and to clarify its role in the history of ancient Crimea as a whole. The geographical conditions of the Mountainous Crimea determined that the ancient population of this area dwelled almost entirely on the main moun- tain range. From a modern point of view it seems unlikely that a mountain ridge could unite a population into a single ethnic group instead of splitting it into several distinct segments. Yet our evidence from Antiquity suggests the opposite. Thus, for example, Plinius the Elder wrote that the Scytho-Taurians inhabited the range (Plin. NH 4.85). This evidence has evoked bewilderment among scholars1 because this part of Crimea has the harshest weather condi- tions and is covered with snow from November to May almost every year. The main mountain range of Crimea is formed by a chain of plateaus situ- ated at about 1,000-1,500 m above sea level. Here an ancient road system was laid out uniting all the mountain passes into a single system of communica- tion.2 The plateaus with their alpine meadows served as excellent summer pastures. They were effectively protected against any threats from outside. The Taurians, who inhabited the mountain range, were not obliged to strug- gle for the steppe’s nomad territories or to drive their cattle for hundreds of kilometers.

  • The Northern Black Sea Region in Classical Antiquity 4
    The Northern Black Sea Region by Kerstin Susanne Jobst In historical studies, the Black Sea region is viewed as a separate historical region which has been shaped in particular by vast migration and acculturation processes. Another prominent feature of the region's history is the great diversity of religions and cultures which existed there up to the 20th century. The region is understood as a complex interwoven entity. This article focuses on the northern Black Sea region, which in the present day is primarily inhabited by Slavic people. Most of this region currently belongs to Ukraine, which has been an independent state since 1991. It consists primarily of the former imperial Russian administrative province of Novorossiia (not including Bessarabia, which for a time was administered as part of Novorossiia) and the Crimean Peninsula, including the adjoining areas to the north. The article also discusses how the region, which has been inhabited by Scythians, Sarmatians, Greeks, Romans, Goths, Huns, Khazars, Italians, Tatars, East Slavs and others, fitted into broader geographical and political contexts.

S AVIN G S Dear Graduates, Parents and Friends of Brown: Like America’s Mississippi River or Germany’s Rhine, Ukraine’s Dnieper River has defined a nation. Sweeping across the Ukrainian countryside, it has traced a broad course through Ukrainian history. Intrepid Viking warrior-merchants once plied its waters, seeking trade routes to the Black Sea and Constantinople. Along its banks rose the stately city of Kiev, and across the Dnieper’s fertile plains Cossack horsemen once rode. Join us on an 11-night voyage on the Dnieper River and the Black Sea aboard the M.S. DNIEPER PRINCESS, the finest ship cruising Ukrainian waterways. From ancient Kiev, a thriving political, religious, cultural and commercial center when Moscow was little more than a village, sail south along the Dnieper through a landscape of tranquil beauty, passing through wooded hills, endless steppes and lush farmlands. Cross the Black Sea to the Crimean Peninsula, a popular retreat since the days of the czars, and to the cosmopolitan seaport of Odessa, Ukraine’s gateway to Turkey and the lands of the Eastern Mediterranean. This unique itinerary introduces you to the seldom-seen treasures of a nation reasserting its identity and reclaiming its roots as it rises from seven decades of Soviet domination.

    Crimea Crimean peninsula located on the south of Ukraine, between the Black and Azov Seas. In the southern part of the peninsula located Crimean mountains, more than a kilometer high. Peninsula is connected to the mainland of Ukraine by several isthmuses. The eastern part of Crimea separated from Russia by the narrow Kerch Strait, a width of less then ten kilometers. Crimea - is one of the most interesting places for tourism in Ukraine. On a very small territory - about 26,800 square kilometers, you can find the Sea and the mountains, prairies and lakes, palaces and the ancient city-states, forts and cave cities, beautiful nature and many other interesting places. During two thousand years, the Crimean land often passed from hand to hand. In ancient times, the Greeks colonized Crimea and founded the first cities. After them the Romans came here. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Crimea became part of the Byzantine Empire. Here was baptized Prince Vladimir who later baptized Kievan Rus. For a long time in the Crimea live together Tatars, Genoese and the small principality Theodoro, but in 1475, Crimea was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. More than three hundreds years the Ottoman Empire ruled the Crimea. After the Russian-Turkish war in 1783, the peninsula became part of the Russian Empire. In 1854-1855 Crimea was occupied forces of Britain, France and Turkey. During the battle near Balaklava death many famous Britons, including Winston Churchill's grandfather. And now, the highest order of the British armed forces - the Victoria Cross minted from metal captured near Balaclava Russian guns.
