Abstract: This paper has a geoecological evaluation of terrain in National Park Una as its study object. Aim of the research is to clarify how valuable and useful are particular terrain segments for tourism valorization, construction of various objects, certain economic activities etc. Geoecological evaluation of terrain is strongly relevant methodological procedure, which can be used for acquiring of results about real value of particular areas. Paper consists of several parts. First part defines the exact area of exploration and geographic position of National Park Una. Second part is concerned with geomorphological characteristics of explored area and possibilities of its valorization, by detailed analyses of hypsometric facts, angle of slope inclination, vertical articulation and terrain exposition. Geoecological evaluation of terrain is performed in third part, for which purpose a bonity categories are used. Geoecological evaluation of terrain is based on previous geomorphological analysis. Methods used in this paper are: analysis, synthesis, statistical method, cartographic method and GIS analysis. Method of terrain evaluation is also used, through four categories: hypsometric characteristics, angle of slopes, vertical articulation and terrain mobility.
Key words: Geoecological evaluation, GIS, bonity category, National Park Una
