description Introduction: terrorism is young as an object of scientific study, but it has influenced the development of society since the XIX century. Its development combines social, ideological, religious, ethnic, and psychological components. It has many similarities with other forms of violence and protest: military conflicts, diversions, etc. It is necessary to determine the positions in which the geographical approach in the study of terrorism will be productive and relevant. Materials and methods of the research: the statistical base of the study is the Global Terrorism Database, developed by the government research organization The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism. Terrorism is considered as a socio-territorial system, and the concept of territorial structures is applied to its geographical study. The results of the research and their discussion: the methodological basis for the geographical study of terrorism is defined. Based on the developed integral indicator of the intensity of terrorist activity, six world terrorist regions are identified. Their regional features, consisting in historical and geographical features, differences in qualitative and quantitative indicators of terrorist activity, are studied. Conclusions: terrorism and terrorist activities may be the subject of geographical research. At the global level, there are six terrorist regions that have a different set of specific features and features.
