Natural environment of high mountains is undergoing rapid changes. One of its elements is the relief. What needs to be particularly emphasized here is its contemporary morphogenesis. The aim of the study is an attempt to define the predisposition of natural environment of the chosen region (NW) of the Pamirs towards the development of contemporary morphogenetic processes. In order to carry it out, quality classes method was implemented. Quality classes method was carried out on two kinds of basic fields of assessment: geometric and natural (geomorphologic). It was preceded by a selection of 14 characteristics of the study area, elements or components of the natural environment, which were analysed from the perspective of their influence on initiating, change of intensity or vanishing of the contemporary land formation processes. Maps of predisposition of natural environment of north-western part of the Pamirs towards the development of modern morphogenetic processes for the two kinds of fields constitute the final result of the study. Gained results enable to state that the significant part of the study area is characterized by big predispositions towards the development of contemporary morphogenetic processes. However, on the basis of research on location it was find out that in a few places there is a more intensive forming of the surface than it results from the gained results. Areas of average and small predispositions almost precisely coincide with the range of big Pamirs glaciers. Moreover, it can be said that an extremely important issue for the high mountain region characterized by a big spatial changeability of all analyzed elements of natural environment is the size of the basic field of assessment.
