INFLUENCE OF RELIEF ON ANTHROPOGENIC LOADING OF NATURAL LANDSCAPES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF LANKARAN NATURAL REGION OF AZERBAIJAN)

Observation of the process of reduction of precipitation in the territory of Lankaran natural region, which is characterized by geological, geomorphological, climatic and vegetation complexity, creates the fact that the relief factor has a greater impact on the studied region than other mountain systems of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The differences caused by the above-mentioned complex effects of relief create differences in the location of people in those landscapes, causing them to be exposed to different levels of anthropogenic impacts on the landscape. If the proper and planned management of anthropogenic impacts on both agro-landscapes and other natural landscapes is not regulated properly, the process of territorial expansion of disturbed landscapes carrying out diversified economic activities will become even faster
