Abstract

The article examines the features of the development of recreational nature use in the context of European integration. Key integration mechanisms for the development of this area are identified, which act as a strategic tool for ensuring a balance between the protection of natural resources, economic efficiency and social development of territorial communities. It is proven that for successful harmonization with European standards, the key tool for sustainable development is ecotourism, which ensures the careful use of natural resources, the protection of ecosystems, especially in urbanized areas, and the active involvement of local residents in the management of recreational areas. It is established that the implementation of European standards in the field of recreational nature use ensures a balance between human needs for recreation, economic conditions and nature protection. The key factor in the long-term sustainability of recreational areas is adaptive management, which includes monitoring the state of the ecosystem and flexible response to changes, which allows for the effective combination of tourism development with the preservation of the natural environment.
