Authors: Akila S , John Robinson P 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Solving Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problems has become one of the most important research in the recent trends. The information or data is in the form of Intuitionistic Triangular Fuzzy Number (ITrFN). The weights are derived from the numerical solutions of partial differential equations of Laplace’s equation and poisson`s equation. The weights obtained from the methods are applied in decision making problems. The Intuitionistic Triangular Fuzzy Ordered Weighted Averaging (ITrFOWA) operator and the Intuitionistic Triangular Fuzzy Hybrid Aggregation (ITrFHA) operator are used to combine the decision matrix. Distance function is used as a tool for ranking the best alternatives. Numerical illustration is proposed to show the effectiveness of the method.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The Soyots (indigenous minorities) live in a remote mountainous area of the Baikal region within the limits of the Okinsky District, the Republic of Buryatia. The main type of economic activities of the soyots is the traditional use of natural resources. In this study, we have carried out economic and geographical analysis of the spatial organization of economic activity of the Soyots on the Eastern Sayan territory. Some researchers consider that the traditional use of natural resources by indigenous people is a vulnerable social and economic system, which requires state support and cautious attitude. Traditional farming and traditional lifestyle are the indispensable living conditions for indigenous people. The possibility of their survival and development in modern conditions is an important problem to be addressed. The study of the current form of the traditional use of natural resources is a priority and needs to be analysed, considering modern social and economic conditions. In a time of industrialization, large-scale development of natural resources of the Eastern Sayan resulted in disturbance of such territories. The Government of the Republic of Buryatia and administration of the Okinsky District have important tasks to preserve the unique area, where the Buryat and Soyot ethnic groups live and create conditions for rational use of natural resources. Unique climatic conditions in the Okinsky District are suitable for both reindeer breeding and cattle farming. The analysis of ethno-economic systems has revealed the areas characterized by the traditional use of natural resources and its spatial-temporal aspects on the Eastern Sayan territory.
Flood monitoring using GIS technologies: A case study of the Selenga River basin
Authors: Beshentsev A N , Borisova T A 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The article contains data on catastrophic floods on the rivers of Lake Baikal basin in the past century. It describes the functional structure of the GIS of flood monitoring. The study justifies the advantage of the basin approach in flood assessment and mapping. We determine the basic regional climatic and physico-geographical factors of flood formation and characterize the main indicators of the territory danger from floods: frequency, magnitude and extent of floods. As hydrological information, we used the calculated water levels in the sections obtained from annual probability distribution curves of exceeding the maximum water levels from rainfall floods. The flood indicator is calculated as the difference of the maximum rise in the water level above the critical level of water outflow to the floodplain. Calculation data show that the maximum values of water levels in the basin’s rivers are the most characteristic of the summer flood period. We have determined physico-geographical features of flood distribution on the main rivers of the study area, performed geoinformation mapping of flood parameters within the main river basins and described the technique of interactive work with GIS through geoinformation queries as well as characterized the response models of the hazard development.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The human-land system is a complex and open giant system composed of two subsystems of geographical environment and human activities. Though the optimization of the relationship between two subsystems, we could realize the regional sustainable development. The regional sustainable development is the embodiment of the most optimization of human-land system. This paper revealed human-land system, in terms of connotation, structure, relation, mechanism and function. Based on the theory of human-land system, the paper proposed the regional sustainable development assessment model and carried out the empirical analysis in the township scale. We chose Haiyong Town as the study area. The results show that the study area is in a good level of regional sustainable development, but in a primary stage. The economic sub-system and the society sub-system have reached the good level of sustainable development, but the environment subsystem is always at a low level. The study area should put forward optimization strategies within the economic, social and environmental subsystems, such as ecological agriculture strategy, circular economy strategy, modern service industry strategy, environmental protection system strategy and so on, in order to promoting regional sustainable development. The research results can provide scientific reference for the assessment of regional sustainable development and the formulation of regional sustainable development strategy.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
In the modern world, urbanization processes are becoming more and more intense, and the number of cities and their size are steadily increasing. The specific character of the country is quite well reflected in the geography of Russian cities, i. e. the large dimensions of space, a consistent approach to formation of the State territory, and the course of urbanization. The regions of the RF differ from one another by the degree of development, the level of socioeconomic advancement and matureness of the systems of cities, and by the spatial pattern of population distribution. Nowadays, the prospects for formation and development of large urban agglomerations (UAs) of Siberia are generating great interest. The characteristics of development of agglomerations in Siberia are considered. Based on analyzing the demographic processes and the existing population distribution pattern, an assessment is made of the problems and prospects of formation of agglomerations in Siberia.
Landscape hydrological principles for planning the water protection zone of Lake Baikal: aims and results
Authors: Gagarinova O V 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The article presents the aims and objectives of the water protection zoning of the Lake Baikal coast as well as the main points of the landscape hydrological substantiation of the dimensions for the water protection zone of this water body, which is a World Natural Heritage site. Analysis of the legislative framework as well as current natural and ecological state of the coastal area indicate serious anthropogenic impacts on the lake and the lack of the water protection experience, especially, in residential and recreational areas. The study considers the main landscape hydrological parameters and criteria for determining the boundary of the water protection zone as well as physiographical conditions and the ecological necessity to include certain types of landscapes in the protection zone. The individual hydrological characteristics of landscapes, depending on the structural components, determine water potential and water protection parameters of the area, which allows for the substantiation of the water protection zone dimensions that ensure the protection of the water resources of Lake Baikal. The problems of water resources protection in the areas of economic use are of special attention. The study suggests the approaches to functional water protection zoning of urbanized and recreational areas, including landscape hydrological principles for assessing the area and methodological elements of landscape planning as well as regulation of the natural resources use for the purposes of the ecological development of coastal areas. A scientifically grounded water protection zone of Baikal involves coordination and control of all activities related to the use and protection of the lake.

Abstract
Currently, many countries of the world experience drinking water scarcity. In this aspect, Russia has an advantageous position, having on its territory Lake Baikal, the largest storage of fresh water. UNESCO declared Lake Baikal as a World Heritage Site whose state scientists from Russia and other countries monitor and study. An analysis of the literature and the author information about the Baikal aquatic ecosystem has shown 70-year invariability of macroelement water composition of Lake Baikal and its only outflow, the Angara River. The water of Baikal and the Angara River has a constant calcium bicarbonate composition and is saturated with oxygen, 10-14 mg/l or rarely more. The average mineralization of water in Baikal and the Angara source for the study period (1950-2018 and 1997-2018) is 95-97 (87-112) mg/l. The analysis of the 13-year (2006-2018) data on the trace element concentration in the Angara source has revealed a complex pattern of changes in concentrations of some elements. The time trends of the concentrations for the bulk of elements sometimes indicate abnormal (minimum-maximum) concentrations regardless of the season. This can be only due to “one-time or instantaneous” natural or anthropogenic changes in the Baikal environment. The Baikal tributaries indicate different chemical composition, which can be due to not only drainage of rocks with different content but also the anthropogenic impact. A simultaneous testing of water (during a month) has shown that some macro- and trace elements (F-, HCO3
- and SO4
2-, as well as Li, Mo, B, U, Fe, etc.) have at the same time the similar concentrations in the water from Baikal, the Angara source and most tributaries.
Anthropogenic impact of industrial production on the environment (on the example of the Siberian region)
Authors: Ippolitova N A 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The anthropogenic impact of industry on the environment depends on the nature of its territorial localization, extraction volumes and raw material and energy consumption, on recycling and the extent of production cycles. As a result of environmental and geographical studies, we identified industry sectors, as well as industrial facilities, that have the most negative impact on the environment and the livelihoods of the population. As a rule, industrial facilities are located extremely unevenly in the territory of the region, they are concentrated in cities and large settlements, and have a significant negative impact not only on the environment, but also create an uncomfortable living environment for the population. Areas of technogenic pollution with an extremely tense environmental situation, which enhances the natural discomfort of the living environment and worsens the quality of life of the population, have been identified. Special attention is paid to industrial facilities that have ceased their production activities, but continue to have a strong anthropogenic impact on the environment, because the disposal of industrial waste creates a tense ecological situation and poses a threat to the environment and the population.
Anthropogenic Load on Transboundary Geosystems of Altai: Current State and Trends

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Transboundary areas of the Altai Republic are notable for great diversity and vulnerability of natural complexes. Residential landscapes have one of the highest levels of anthropogenic transformation among the geosystems of the transboundary territories of the Altai Republic. Vacationing people, whose number is increasing every year, also have a significant impact on the environment. We have determined the percentage ratio of residential areas to the landscape area of their location to estimate the residential load. As a major criterion for assessing the recreational load, we propose to use the number of bed spaces for seasonal and year-round recreation at campsites, campgrounds, and hotels. As another criterion reflecting the impact of recreationists on the natural-territorial complexes of the studied areas, we consider the density of the tourist route network to the square kilometer of the landscape. The study has shown that the residential load on the landscapes in the transboundary areas of the Altai Republic is relatively low. Intermountain valley landscapes are the most loaded (up to 4.5% of the landscape area). The human impact on the high-mountain and mid-mountain landscapes is insignificant.
International water development problems in the transboundary Irtysh River basin: “new” solutions to old problems
Authors: Krasnoyarova B A , Vinokurov Y I , Antyufeeva T V 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The article discusses the problems of water use in the transboundary Irtysh River basin and the characteristics of their manifestation in different national segments. In the basin countries, separate subsystems are distinguished by the nature of the formation and use of water resources. There is a growing position of the Chinese side; it has significantly increased the withdrawal of water resources from Kara-Irtysh, thereby, violating the state of the aquatic ecosystem of the receiving Lake Zaisan and, accordingly, the operation of the Upper Irtysh reservoirs and hydroelectric power plants. In the Russian Federation, the situation is the most complicated in the Tobol River basin, where large industrial centers of the Trans-Urals are located; in Kazakhstan − in the Ishim river basin due to a significant development of its capital Astana (Nur-Sultan). We have analyzed the largest projects on the Ob water transfer to the Irtysh river basin proposed by the Chinese and Kazakh scientists and designers. The Russian side had a somewhat passive role in this process, which focuses mainly on solving specific problems, in particular, providing water resources to the city of Omsk through the construction of the Krasnogorodsk water reservoir at the Irtysh and the inter-basin transfer of river water from the Urals, Kama and Irtysh to the Tobol River basin. Emphasis is placed on the need to establish tripartite institutions for regulating water relations and international cooperation in the field of water use in the Irtysh river basin.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The article presents the vertical channel deformations assessment (erosion of the riverbed bottom or accumulation of sediment) on the rivers of the Angara region. Channel processes are wide-spread here due to geomorphological and hydrological features of the territory. Vertical channel deformations are a change in the river bottom altitude under the water flow, sediment transport and accumulation. An important indicator of the dynamics of channel deformations is the changes of the water level and discharge. The Q = f (H) curve is one of the most important characteristics of the river’s water regime and bed morphometry. The direction and speed of the vertical channel deformations were determined by analysing the curves of the water level changes at a fixed discharge. The average of the annual maxima discharge is chosen as the fixed discharge. As a result, the sections of the rivers with erosion of the riverbed bottom, sections with a predominance of sediment accumulation, as well astable sections of the riverbed have been identified. The identified trends of the vertical channel deformations were verified by constructing of cross-section channel profiles according to depth measurements for the period 1997-2017.Moreover, the imposition of multi-temporal cross-section channel pro-files revealed not only vertical, but also horizontal deformations.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Geographic information systems and technologies play an important role in land monitoring. The data obtained via land monitoring is essential for state authorities and local self-government bodies developing regulatory legal acts, targeted programs, general land-use plans, land-use schemes, implementing the land management procedures and plans, working on the prospects for rational land use and land protection, and making management decisions on the area development. Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Area-Yugra is currently facing some adverse and dangerous natural processes that can lead to emergencies and make a negative impact on the quality of land resources in the region. There is an urgent need for monitoring adverse natural processes to take them into account when planning the development of territorial systems. This paper will consider the results of studying natural risk zones and determine the degree of natural hazard in the region. The author will identify flooding zones for several local settlements and analyze the spread of natural fires within the boundaries of municipal regions, forestry and kinship lands in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Area-Yugra. Using the geo-information media, the author develops cartographic material reflecting certain land parameters, essential for assessing the environmental state and supporting economic activity in the region.

This study can provide useful exploration for enriching and improving the interaction mechanism of economic-social-resource-environment system, and provide reference for the balance of supply and demand of water resources in similar water-scarce areas in the world.
Application of landscape planning approach for study of peculiarities of territorial organization and territorial development
Authors: Myadzelets A V 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Forming of economic-geographical environment for innovative development is closely related to landscape and resource characteristics of a territory. It is revealed through a system of related characteristics that should geographically fully and accurate describe the nature, economy and population of the territory and express its state through a special assessment indication function of all natural and economic factors. Such task is solved on empirical data and the principles of the geosystem theory by Sochava, indicative and landscape planning approach, methods of interpretation mapping, comparative geographical analysis, geoinformation and math modeling. A landscape typological map is considered as an invariant basis for the analysis of the territory, reflecting the spatial distribution of geosystems of different types and allowing to derive new knowledge and create thematic maps of different content for solving applied problems. Features of the geographical environment and its impact are taken into account through the introduction of quantitative environmental corrections using the methodology of polisystematic stratification. A unified database with a grid of natural and economic units of the landscape map is created for the area of the Selenga river delta for analysis of the territorial organization peculiarities and local development. The assessment indication function is calculated on the geosystem database and characterizes the features of the territorial organization with the definition of individual indicators of economic development for each unit of the study area.
