Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Interesting text and methods used

1) In the Introduction section, the research objective (main objective) and specific objectives are not stated (precisely). I recommend completing it. 

2) I suggest adopting research hypotheses, this will only make the text more attractive.  

3) What is the area of the research area? In the text it is ‘with a total area of 2.6242 × 104 km2’ (?) (lines 94-95) 

4) Table 2 - make a general analysis of the table data 

5) Introduce a subsection - literature review and research results of other authors, also with reference to other parts of the world (after the introduction) - the literature in this area is not rich enough

6) Point 4 Conclusion and discussion needs to be improved, no recommendations for local, regional economic policy etc.  References to other studies. 

Other:

1) Figures are much needed but not readable (legends to figures) 

2) Literature - especially review of studies by other authors to be completed
