POSSIBILITIES OF GIS APPLICATION IN THE ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION OF TOURISM POTENTIALS - CASE STUDY OF SARAJEVO
Identification of tourism potential represents the initial step in the organization of tourism offer of the certain administrative units or other spatial units. Modern scientific concept of tourism motives identification implies their systematization at the level of adequate thematic geodata sets that are based on two conceptual models. First methodological concept involves identifying and inventorying tourism motives according to the components of physical geographic and social geographic environment. In this case, attributes of associated thematic geodatabase minimally include name, type, degree of attractiveness, photo and forms of tourism that can be developed in the analyzed site. Second methodological concept is based on the identification of the tourism potentials according to territorial principle, which involves formation of geodatabases for all forms of tourism motives and all forms of tourism that can be formed in defined destinations. The implementation of these methods should be the basis for an exact segregation of tourism geographical regions on mezo-regional and macro-regional level.
