Introduction. In the modern conditions of development of the tourism industry, the creation of high-quality cartographic support for routes, which helps to increase their attractiveness and information content, is of particular importance. Retrospective analysis of the study area. The city of Saratov, awarded the title of “City of Labor Valor”, has a rich historical and cultural heritage associated with the labor exploits of its residents during the Great Patriotic War. Data and methods.

The increase in illumination levels in populated areas, including as a result of the implementation of several federal projects, has raised concerns about light pollution caused by artificial lighting. This has led to questions about identifying areas and cities where artificial lighting levels have significantly increased, as well as evaluating the impact of this increase on the environment. Light pollution is considered one of the types of physical pollution, and within this framework, it has been analyzed in the context of the Saratov region.

Lung cancer in the Saratov region and Saratov is a very common pathology, ranking second in men and fourth or fifth in women in terms of incidence among other cancer localities. The article provides data on the incidence of lung cancer in Saratov for 2020–2023. Based on a comparison of city’s air basin pollution maps and types of housing development an attempt has been made to determine possible dependencies on the prevalence of the disease.

The city of Saratov is subject to landslide processes, which occupy a significant part of its territory. Anthropogenic factors, such as irrational use of land, increasethe activation of landslide oftheterritory. The article considers naturalfactors as an aggregate influencing landslide formation on the territory of Saratov city and evaluates them.

The cartographic research of electric and magnetic fields of industrial frequency in the central part of Saratov was performed. Measurements by means of the Gigahertz Solutions ME 3830 B M/E Analyser were executed in the 177 points within the built-up territories and recreational zones. The research showed that tension of electric fields and magnetic induction everywhere do not exceed hygienic standards, but in 15,8% ofmeasurement points excesses of approximate safe level ofmagnetic induction were revealed accordingtothe latestforeign researches.

The article shows results of snow-geochemical survey in Saratov city territory in 1992, 1994, 1997 and at the beginning of 2000th, that was made by the staff of geographical and geological faculties of Saratov State University. The research revealed essential area decrease of snow cover pollution of industrial emission at the beginning of 2000th   as compared with 1990th. Abrupt snow pollution increase along the transport mains and around the large working enterprises

In this article the author gives the analysis of the characteristics of devasted lands on the base of the field route research of Saratov’s territory. The types of devasted lands were discovered, their short description was composed, the area of each territory’s type was counted. The principal districts of the concentrationof the devasted lands are given, the specificity of their morphogenetic types, are examined.

The article considers the causes and factors of the unfavorable atmosphere-ecological situation in Saratov. Particular attention is paid to factors of a natural and socio-economic nature, creating an increasingly unfavorable trend in the development of the atmosphere-chemical situation in the city.

We carried out the analysis of the power spectrum of the time series of the daily mean values of the surface air temperature in Saratov city (Russia) in the time interval from 1945 through 1999. In the power spectrum are discovered two tidal harmonics, the harmonic with the period of synodic month, connected with a change in the insolation during the motion of system the Earth – Moon around the common center of masses, and also harmonic, which corresponds to the average period of rotation of the active regions of the Sun.

The article provides an overview of the main types and features of cartographic support for the needs of tourists and tourist activities. An example of a modern thematic route is presented, as well as options for the compilation and layout of a tourist booklet. The research is aimed at popularizing regional tourism and attracting the attention of guests and residents of Saratov to non-traditional cultural and educational routes.
