Authors: Diquit J S , Palarca H T 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
To protect the beauty and diversity of Quirino from the impacts of natural and human-made disasters, the call for sustainable and regenerative developments strengthens. With the introduction of permaculture in the province, it can serve as a framework for these developments. As such, the study seeks to showcase the potentials of permaculture by integrating its principles in the landscape design of Faraon Integrated Farm, as it aims to be a sustainable and regenerative agricultural eco-park. To achieve its goal, a series of literature studies, analyses, and conceptualization was conducted to identify the areas where permaculture can be incorporated. As a result, a permaculture-based landscape design of a sustainable and regenerative agricultural eco-park with a closed-loop system is developed. The eco-park was divided into six (6) permaculture zones, arranged according to the amount of attention it needs, consisting of areas chosen and designed based on the twelve (12) permaculture principles. To improve its sustainability and regenerative capacity, various technologies, practices, and techniques were also incorporated into the design, such as intercropping, use of natural farming inputs, vermicomposting, rainwater harvester & catchment, and utilization of renewable sources of energy. By imitating the Earth’s natural processes and relationships, permaculture can create sustainable and regenerative developments that could preserve and enhance the natural environment.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Indonesia has 15 National Geoparks, and four of them have been recognized by UNESCO as the Global Geopark Network (GGN). The Ciletuh Geopark is one of the geo-parks in Indonesia that UNESCO has recognized. With the status of GGN, the management of the Ciletuh Geopark area must be directed according to the area development criteria set by UNESCO. The form of designated area development is related to efforts to increase cooperation, increase local communities’ welfare, develop infrastructure, and establish sustainable geopark areas. This Area’s result must pay attention to the Area’s sensitivity with geological uniqueness so as not to damage the geological diversity (geodiversity) in it. Therefore it is necessary to arrange the area with the direction of area development under the stipulations outlined. This research aims to develop a landscape plan to conserve the Ciletuh Geo Area geodiversity as part of Ciletuh Geopark using a bioregion approach. This process starts from inventory, literature study to analysis and synthesis, and planning. The research is carried out with a bioregion approach to determine the bioregion unit, landscape unit, and place the unit. Biophysical and geological characteristics are used in the preparation of bioregion classes. The synthesis was carried out by compiling the place units with significance values at 18 geological sites, making each place unit’s intrinsic value. The landscape plan prepared by referring to the rules of conservation of nature reserves can be considered in the development and management of the Ciletuh Geo Area in particular and Ciletuh Geopark area in general.

Abstract
We analysed the balance of environmental, social and economic development of the regions of Asian Russia, assessing the level of adjusted net savings. Using the selected indicators and the assessment of natural, social and production capital values, the typology of territorial production and resource structures of the regions of Asian Russia has been created. Based on the k-means method, using ‘Statistica 12’ software, the clustering and structural zoning by the ratio of natural, productive and human capital in the regions of Asian Russia was carried out.
Integration potential of the economic and geographical position of the regions of Asian Russia
Authors: Sokolov S N , Rjepka E A , Kuznetsova E A 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Currently, the development of the mathematical and geographical apparatus for assessing the economic and geographical position (EGP) is practically absent, and therefore the authors offer their own methodology for calculating the assessment of the integration potential of the EGP. This potential consists of the potential of the neighbouring position, the permeability of the borders and the transport accessibility of the regions. EGP objectively reveals the individual features and properties of any territory, it has a potential character. The highest indicators of the integration potential of EGP in Asian Russia (AR) are typical for the Kemerovo Region – Kuzbass, the Altai Krai and the Republic of Khakassia. Kamchatka Krai, the Magadan Region and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug are characterized by the lowest values of such potential. Thus, the EGP of the regions is ambiguous and varies from very convenient to very inconvenient. Territories with a more favourable EGP develop better and faster. The use of the region’s EGP data facilitates its assessment and allows us to determine negative and positive aspects of the socio-economic development of the region, to make a forecast for the further development of a particular region.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The commodity and geographical structure of Mongolia’s exports, dynamics and features of Mongolia’s foreign trade with Russia are considered. The tendency of weakening of foreign trade interaction of Mongolia with the Eastern regions of Russia is revealed. Using the original author’s method, an assessment of the distribution of Mongolian export goods was carried out, taking into account their transportability in sales markets and areas of remoteness. A pattern has been revealed for the export of low-transportable mineral raw materials, which is almost exclusively directed to neighbouring countries, mainly to China, while more expensive types of Mongolian products (wool, yarn, clothing, gold, etc.) are exported to distant countries. It has been established that the value of Mongolian exports for a number of mineral and raw materials exceeds the Russia’s and have strong growth prospects. The conclusion is drawn that the competition between exporters of Mongolia and the Eastern regions of Russia for foreign markets of mineral commodities, primarily for the Chinese market, will intensify in the near future.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
In this study we address the problem of finding mechanisms for capacity building of border areas. We have identified the obstacles to their development: prohibitions on economic activities in border areas, relatively large military forest and land holdings, and potential economic pressure from neighbouring states on businesses and population. The main preferences for their development: interests of neighbouring states in resources and markets formation of transport corridors; intermunicipal, socio-cultural and ethno-religious cooperation. We considered the processes of administrative reassignment of regions between federal districts as a mechanism of problem-based management for regional spatial development by grouping the regions with similar problems. We also discussed the examples of such mechanisms (and their limitations) to increase the economic and social attractiveness of border areas -including territories of priority development and preferential mortgages. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the use of an integrated approach to capacity building of border areas through consistent administrative, organizational economic and social mechanisms. This approach can be applied to the design of strategic planning programmes for the spatial and socio-economic development of border areas, including through cross-border cooperation.
Regional trade and economic cooperation along the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor
Authors: Osodoev P V 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
We analysed the characteristics of foreign trade for the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor’ regions. We also examined the commodity and geographic structure of exports and imports of the Economic Corridor regions: the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Mongolia, and the Baikal region of Russia. A large share of Russian and Mongolian exports is made up of raw materials, such as minerals, metals and their low value-added products. Products of the chemical industry, ferrous metals and their products prevail in the commodity structure of the export of Inner Mongolia. The priority in cooperation of these regions is to upgrade transport and cross-border infrastructure to increase transit potential in freight transportation along the planned China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor. Through the Economic Corridor project, these regions can significantly strengthen foreign economic cooperation.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
In this paper, we investigated the joint efforts of Russian and foreign stakeholders to develop the regions of the Russian Far East. The competitive advantages of Russia’s border regions have been identified. Ways of enhancing competitive advantages are considered. The shortcomings of state support for regional development due to insufficient inter-sectoral and inter-regional coordination are noted. This study proposes an ecosystem approach as a mechanism to address this shortcoming. A polycentric ecosystem is a mechanism for equitable stakeholder integration. The hypothesis of this study is that economic and non-economic stakeholder interests, that are involved in launching and implementing projects as part of a development strategy underpin economic space development. We have considered how the barrier and contact functions of borders affect regional development. It has been shown that the methodology for studying stakeholder engagement in the region’s ecosystem is based on a quantitative-qualitative approach and identifies the benefits and challenges of both regions and projects. It reveals favourable and unfavourable factors influencing the integration of stakeholders in ecosystems. The prerequisites for stakeholder integration into a unified ecosystem are identified, and the main directions of integrated transport policy of the regions are considered.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The variety of geographical studies of a region is as great as the diversity of its “portrait” – characteristics and phenomena associated with it. A region has never been considered in isolation from its synonymous concept “district”. The most common interpretations of ‘region’ in the scientific environment and in the information space, its generally accepted definition remains the subject of scientific research, disputes and discussion. In accordance with the tradition established in recent years, the minimum administrative-territorial area in the territory, called a region, is a constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The article analyses foreign and domestic studies of the definition of a region, clarifies the author’s interpretation, and evaluates the parameters of the territorial taxon. The main problems of common features of the visualization of a region, its attractiveness, socio-economic factors of the vital activity of the population (standard of living, living conditions, quality of life), attitude to their region from the point of view of substantiation of their genesis and subjectivity of parameters are formulated. The article presents the results of a sociological survey conducted within the framework of quantitative-qualitative methodology among the respondents of the Volga Federal District. The analytical assessment of the most mass responses of the survey participants is given, visualized in the form of graphs.
Problems of geostrategic territories of the southern strip of Siberia
Authors: Sysoeva N M , Dets I A 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The paper analyses the possibilities of the border territories of Siberia to perform geostrategic functions defined in the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation. The existing cross-border relationships have little impact on the socio-economic development of the territories. Exports in the regions of Transbaikalia, classified by the Strategy to the Far East as a priority macro-region for development, are growing due to the expansion of raw materials export. In the same regions, the volume of foreign investment due to the mining sector is also increasing, while in other border regions their volume is falling. Most of the outgoing investments are directed to offshore and resort countries, which does not contribute to the receipt and return of profits to the regions. Foreign enterprises operate mainly in the raw materials industries, construction and intermediary services, in the western regions of the border zone they are also present in modern processing industries. Among the counterparty countries, the presence of China is expanding, which is gradually displacing Kazakhstan from the leading positions even in the border regions of Western Siberia. It is necessary to both understand the goals and methods of forming a geostrategic security belt and offer state support for the development of such territories.

Abstract
Okinsky district (the Republic of Buryatia, Russia) is characterized by entanglement of heterogeneous economies formed by the global demand for gold, Chinese values of jade, remnants of Soviet planning systems at the local and municipal level, traditional Soyot and Buryat land use practices, and nascent extreme and recreational tourist flows. In a situation when most of the economic and social relations remain informal and rarely captured in the official documents, landscapes become the most visible marker of changes and intersecting and sometimes conflicting networks of diverse multiscale relations. Using the interviews and in-situ observations we collected and analysed data on the pertinent social, cultural, and professional ties and examined local expectations on education, living conditions and economic prospects. Networking as a key conception has been used to untangle the complexity of the studied systems, interconnections and interdependencies of the system components. A new draft network model stimulates experts to assess if the changes planned for the regional development really benefit people in local communities, nation in whole and in global scale. In addition, the new discourse of ecosystem services motivates experts to discuss the prospects for the ecological specialization of the territories from different angles while preserving biodiversity.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The air temperature, precipitation and NDVI trends were calculated for the wet (1982-1999) and dry (2000-2018) periods for the territory of Baikal Siberia and adjacent territories. Temperature rise is observed for the entire study area; at the same time, zones with low growth rates of surface temperature are interspersed with zones with high growth rates, both in latitudinal and longitudinal directions. The wet period is characterized by positive trends in the amount of precipitation for almost the entire study area. During the dry period, negative dynamics of the amount of precipitation is observed for the predominant part of this territory. As a result of the analysis of the spatial distribution of NDVI trends, it was revealed that during the wet period, positive trend values prevail – up to 77%. During the dry period, a multiple increase in negative NDVI trends in arid zones was established, which shows their greatest sensitivity to the moisture regime. For the first time, the shares of the contribution of the anthropogenic and climatic factors to the degradation of the soil and vegetation cover of Russia, Mongolia and China within the region under consideration have been revealed.
Microclimatic features of landscapes in the territory with a sparse network of meteorological observations
Authors: Vasilenko O V , Voropay N N 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Automatic monitoring of air temperature and humidity in the mountain-depression landscapes of the Tunka depression has been organized. The results of the analysis of observation data for 10 years showed significant differences in the temperature regime in different landscapes. The sites can be divided into three groups – the slopes of the depression, pine- herbaceous landscapes, and the lacustrine-bog complex of the central part. The average annual air temperature at all sites is negative and vary in range -0.7 … -2.1°C. Vegetation has the greatest influence on microclimatic characteristics. The maximum contrasts in the temperature regime of the air throughout the year are observed in open areas with cloudless skies. In winter, this is explained by radiation cooling, and in summer – by the heating of the open surface in the daytime. In this case, not only the daily amplitude of air temperature in the open areas increases, but also the largest contrasts between the open and closed areas are observed.

Authors: Ilicheva E A 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The materials of complex interdisciplinary studies of the relief forming in different periods of water availability in the Selenga River delta are presented since the technogenic level rise of Lake Baikal. Four water and sediment runoff anomalies, synchronous with water level fluctuations in the Lake are identified. The current boundaries of the Selenga River mouth area (RMA), floodplain complex, flooding territories in the maximum water ability conditions are identified. The RMA covers the territory from the main channel bifurcation nod to Lake Baikal, includes subaerial and subaqueous parts of the protruding delta, the interaction zone fluvial processes and different-aged terraces deposits and adjacent lagoons Proval and Cherkalov Sor. Semi-empirical models and data on the water runoff and sediment yield are presented.
Features of aeolian relief formation of the sandy massif Suvinskii Kuitun in the Barguzin Depression
Authors: Vyrkin V B , Kobylkin D V 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The principal objective of the article is the determination of the main features of the aeolian relief formation of the Suvinskii Kuitun sand massif, one of the regions of active modern aeolian morphogenesis in the Barguzinskaya Depression. A brief description of the morphology of the aeolian relief, characterized by the predominance of deflationary forms over accumulative ones, is given. Among the forms of active deflation, deflation basins dominate here, separated by elongated deflation inselbergs, composed of sands of lacustrine, alluvial, deluvial-proluvial, and aeolian genesis. The mineralogical and granulometric composition of sandy deposits in the southern part of the Suvinskii Kuitun, characterized by poor roundness of sandy grains, has been analysed. A distinct northeastward eolomotion was revealed towards the foothills of the Ikat Range and its accumulation there. The age of the aeolian sands, mainly related to the formation of the Tagar culture (the end of the Bronze Age) was determined. The phytomelioration carried out in the second half of the 20th century led only to a partial fixation of sands, without affecting their overall deflation in most areas of the Suvinskii Kuitun.
Natural and anthropogenic transformation of geosystems of Tunkinsky national park: identification and mapping
Authors: Atutova Zh V 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The paper focuses on the specifics of landscape medium scale mapping employing traditional methods. We selected a key site in Tunkinsky National Park (Republic of Buryatia) and the Tunkinskaya depression located within it and its mountain framing (south of Eastern Siberia) to display the modern structural and dynamic features of the geosystem functioning. The map compiled at a scale of 1 : 100 000 illustrates the differentiation into categories of landscape structures by types of altitudinal-belt conditions of the natural environment, differing in morphological and phytocenotic properties, as well as the nature of natural-anthropogenic transformation. The main factors of landscape discreteness are morphological features of the surface structure of the intermontane territories; the complexes with natural vegetation and their derivative biocenoses, formed as a result of agricultural and pyrogenic transformation, reflected the dynamic nature of the geosystem functioning. The complexes have been formed in river valleys due to debris flows and are assigned to variable states.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The lakes of Buryatia have been studied to varying degrees and described in numerous scientific works by well-known limnologists, geographers and biologists of Russia. The formation of lakes, their composition and the organisms that inhabit them have been investigated. However, very few and sporadic studies have investigated the use of lakes for economic purposes. The article analyses the activities of fisheries, the use of Buryatia’s widespread minerals such as sapropels and peat, and also assesses tourism as an economic activity with a high positive effect for the Republic of Buryatia as a whole.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Drinking water, as one of the main components of the habitat, determines human health and quality of life. In the past few decades, almost all water sources, both surface and underground, have been subject to intensive anthropogenic and technogenic impact. Lake Gusinoye, which is the main source of drinking water supply to adjacent settlements, is experiencing significant anthropogenic pressure. Based on the results of hydrochemical studies, the toxic effect of heavy metals on the population health, resulting from the consumption of drinking water of the centralised water supply from Gusinoye Lake, was considered. The results of a quantitative assessment of public health hazards showed that the risk of non-carcinogenic (toxic) effects is high in the territory of the Gusinoozersk industrial hub.
