Abstract Many disturbances and changes in nature are caused by a number of human activities, such as mining engineering, town planning, and also by the influences of the activities connected to these indusries. Central Kazakhstan is one of the regions of the Republic experiencing enormous pollution pressure caused by giant industry as the coal and metallurgical, mining and chemical and machine construction. The article reviews main industrial induced factors that define the spatial distribution of negative processes in semi arid climate of Central Kazakhstan where the intensive mining works have been conducted since 1940s and have led to a change of relief formation, groundwater and soil contamination. The damaged areas occupy vast territories, significantly reducing the habitable space for the population of Central Kazakhstan. The research examined two environmental components to assess and improve the ecological situation at the mining area: (a) land and water as economical component and (b) relief as main natural component.

Semiarid Conditions

The aeolian processes play an important role in the relief formation under the semiarid conditions of the intermountain basins of Southern Siberia. Ancient sand landforms occur in different regions of Siberia — the Ob, Chuya, Аley, Yenisei, Аngara, Selenga, Chikoy, Khilok and Chara river valleys and Lake Baikal coasts. The sandy coasts of Lake Baikal are of great interest in terms of floristic diversity determined by a high degree of endemism. Despite centuries of study of the lake basin, sand vegetation is poorly described in the literature. This study presents an analysis of 184 relevés of psammophytic vegetation from the Republic of Buryatia (Severobaikalsky, Barguzinsky, Pribaikalsky districts) and Irkutsk region (Olkhon Island) obtained in 2009–2014.

The article considers the probability of the intensity of the erosion process and the prerequisites for its mitigation and control. The results of the research prove that soil erosion is based on natural and anthropogenic factors. The main objectives of the study were to determine the amount and level of development of worn and erosion-prone soils in the foothills of the country, where it is very difficult to develop on the slope soils of Upper Shirvani. Therefore, in this connection, the tasks are solved, taking into account the requirements of preserving the ecological situation in the example of the Shamakhi district of the Upper Shirvan zone of the Republic of Azerbaijan, where the areas of its potential danger are identified and the preconditions for its prevention are given.

The article gives a review and analysis of the contemporary environmental initiatives of Buddhist leaders of Buryatia. The environmental condition of the Baikal region is of great importance not only for Russia but also for the whole world as the lake Baikal contains about 19 % of the world potable water supply. However, the ecological situation in the Republic of Buryatia is not that favourable. Nowadays, there is a tendency for the growing role of the religious leaders in the environmental problem solving. The Buddhist leaders of Buryatia in line with the given tendency also contribute to the development of the environmental thinking of the society, using arguments based on the fundamental ideas of Buddhist philosophy. Taking into account the cultural and historical characteristics of Buryatia, the Buddhist Sangha suggests quite unique and practical ways of improving the ecological situation in the republic that are of interest to researchers.

Urban Strategy

Issues of establishing new methodology for urban strategy of the Republic of Armenia are considered. Тhe peculiarities of urban policy at different stages of economic growth of the country are studied. Analysis of underlying legislative, normative and project documents of the post-Soviet period are carried out, particularly territorial planning projects of the Republic of Armenia and separate regions, recently approved master plans and zoning projects of the majority of RA cities. Based on studies formerly undertaken by local scientific subdivisions on development of theoretical basis and prospects for growth of architectural, town planning and building complexes, systems of Urban Code and Urban Cadastre as well have established legislative and normative background, and within the structure of architectural and building complexes а qualitative leap has occured. However, all these developments and urban documents as products of transition period are based on relatively incomplete taxon data. It is obvious that the role of state control and programs formulating single state urban development strategy will increase and remain significant. Division of urban planning activities into separate categories is given that is considered both in an alternative and complex aspect, in the light of basic goals implementation of prospective urban policy and internationally enshrined principles of sustainable development are proposed.

The article presents the results of a sociological study of the attitude of the Karachay-Cherkessia Republic population to the essential components of the ecological situation. The significance of the ecological factor of the region as the basis for socio-cultural development and modernization of the territory of the republic is determined. A literature review shows the importance of such studies in regions with an extreme environmental situation and in regions traditionally considered to be prosperous and even resort areas. For such territories, the nature and absence of air and water pollution are a possible growth point, an attractive factor for forming tourist complexes. The development of tourism infrastructure and a competent media campaign will attract investors’ funds and create prerequisites for increasing tourist flows. Analysis of the survey results showed that the republic’s population as a whole positively evaluates the environmental situation, which is an additional condition for the success of the modernization process in the region.

In this paper, the open-pit coal mine in semi-arid grassland was taken as the research object. The water samples of the open-pit coal mine and its surrounding areas were collected and the hydrochemical parameters were detected. The temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of the parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen in the groundwater were studied. The results showed that the groundwater in the study area was alkaline and brackish water. Climate factors might have a certain impact on the pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen of groundwater. The pH value of groundwater in the mining area was higher than that in the surrounding pastoral area, while the conductivity value of the mining area was between the pastoral area in the west and the Xilin river area in the east. The parameters of pH, conductivity and total dissolved solids of the four monitoring wells around the mining area showed a slow change or stable phenomenon in the vertical direction with the increase of groundwater depth. This study is of great significance to understand the characteristics of groundwater chemistry in mining areas and the rational development and utilization of groundwater resources.
