The idea of sustainable development of the territory lies in the rational use of existing resources in the process of creating a platform where one can improve the level and long-term quality of life. Indicator systems are an integral element of the implementation of planned regional development measures, since any program document needs an up-to-date monitoring and evaluation system. The relevance of this research lies in the need to identify the indicators that reflect the priorities and problems of sustainable development of resort areas, and in the need to develop common indicators of sustainability for territories of tourist and recreational purposes. The aim of the study was to analyze existing methods for assessing the sustainability of the development of resort areas, analysis and evaluation of indicators and their impact on sustainable development of the resort area on the example of the Krasnodar region.As a result of the study, we examined custom approaches in assessing sustainable development of resort regions, as well as the methods of the UNWTO and the Government of the Russian Federation (as part of strategic planning). The features of resort areas and the main elements of their development are revealed in the research. It is noted that many indicators are currently being used (most of them of the same type - economic and social) and as a result many aspects of the territorial development remain unexamined. It is proved that in order to ensure the sustainable development of resort areas in the constituent units of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to develop a system of indicators that takes into account existing international experience and the specifics of the economic, social and environmental conditions of the Russian regions.

The town-planning history of development of resort coastal territories of the Krasnodar region of Russia has the features. Resort coastal territories have high potential of development therefore in recent years their development goes especially quickly. The reason of it is favorable, unique even for the Black Sea coast, a combination in the region of climatic conditions, which are necessary for creation of the climatic resort area here. The major task various Federal and regional programs of development, both all region, and it is certain coastal marine territories, - to keep optimum balance between resort and recreational and other possible options of use of such territories. Conceptual approaches to development of coastal resort territories of the Krasnodar region of Russia are presented in article. New decisions and offers in development of the Concept of General plans of the coastal cities have to be based on the analysis of new conditions in various contexts of development (natural, anthropogenic, engineering). They have to consider all difficulties of the numerous influencing factors and to be coordinated to the purposes of further complex development of unique mountain and sea recreational and resort agglomerations.

Environmental degradation can bring into challenge both sustainability and future development of territories. Nowadays, regions and countries are on the way to sustainable development, as the most reasonable in terms of rational and effective use of resource potential. According to the concept, environmental conditions, economic and social stability are the three pillars of sustainable development.
