Spatial planning and land use

Georgia is situated in south-eastern Europe, bordering on the Black Sea. Its land boundaries total 1,461 km: 164 km with Armenia, 322 km with Azerbaijan, 723 km with the Russian Federation and 252 km with Turkey. It has a 310-km-long coastline. Its land area totals 69,490 km2. The terrain is largely mountainous, with the Great Caucasus Mountains in the north and the Lesser Caucasus Mountains in the south. In eastern Georgia the rivers all join the river Mtkvari, forming the Caspian basin, while the rivers of western Georgia, of which the Rioni and the Enguri are the biggest, run into the Black Sea basin. Georgia’s landscape is extremely diverse. Nearly 40% of all the world’s landscape types are represented in the Caucasus.
