The term ecotourism is traditionally referred to travelling to natural areas in locations unaffected or poorly affected by anthropogenic factors and having scientific, cognitive, recreational, cultural value, and carried out by environmentally friendly methods, contributing to and promoting the harmonization of human relations with the environment, ecological education and education that promotes the protection of biological and landscape diversity. One of the essential features of ecotourism is the involvement of the local population in providing tourists with works and services in the service sector. The use of natural areas for tourism is of great social and economic importance for the development of regions with significant recreational potential. The organization of tourism in protected natural territories has features related to their legal regime aimed at the preservation of natural objects for the purpose of protection of which such territories are created and containing restrictions on the use of natural resources and economic activities. The policy development of ecotourism in specially protected natural areas as an objective laid by the State requires to define this concept in compliance with the law, since its content depends on the degree of involvement of specially protected natural objects, complexes and ecosystems in recreational activities. The concept of ecotourism should include an indication of the maximum permissible recreational loads and the conformity of forms of ecotourism with the objectives of specially protected natural areas as defined in the legislation and individual provisions thereon. The list of objects of tourist infrastructure must be approved by the Government of the Russian Federation for federal specially protected natural territories and the highest executive authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities for specially protected natural areas at the regional and local levels.

Specially Protected Natural Territories

Introduction. This article is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of the legal regime of land plots within the boundaries of protected zones of specially protected natural territories. Due to their special significance and uniqueness, specially protected natural territories form the nature reserve fund of the Russian Federation with a special mechanism for protection and protection from negative anthropogenic impact. Protected areas are one of the measures to protect such specially protected natural areas as state nature reserves, national parks, natural parks and natural monuments, as well as one of the most important elements of the legal regime of lands of specially protected natural areas. The creation of data on specially protected natural areas, as a rule, is followed by the subsequent approval of the regulations on their protected zones. Since the legislation does not have peremptory norms on the mandatory creation of protection zones, such zones are not widespread at the federal and regional levels. Theoretical Basis. Methods. An important role in the process of studying the peculiarities of the legal regime of land plots within the boundaries of specially protected natural territories was played by systematic, comparative, formal-legal methods. Results. The features of the establishment, modification and termination of the protection zones of specially protected natural areas, as well as the features of coordination of their borders and the entry of information into cadasters and registers are considered. Based on a comprehensive analysis of judicial practice, conclusions are drawn about the need to improve the mechanism for determining the feasibility of economic activity on land in protected areas. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the legislation of the Russian Federation and the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on protected areas of specially protected natural territories of federal and regional significance and the legal regime of land plots within their borders. Discussion and Conclusion. This study showed that the establishment of protected areas of specially protected natural areas significantly affects the legal regime of land within their borders. Despite the fact that the turnover of these land plots is not limited, they are not withdrawn or redeemed from private property, individually defined characteristics are not significantly changed, but at the same time restrictions are set on the possibility of carrying out economic and other activities, the need for additional coordination with state bodies authorities order to carry out such activities on land. Changes associated with the establishment of protective zones entail a change in the cadastral and market value of land, and as a result, the right of land owners to demand compensation from state authorities for civil and land laws.

Relevance of the work. The modern management of specially protected natural areas of the Tyumen region is based on the preservation of the existing structure. The region belongs to the few regions where reserves do not function. Strategic regional documents for the development of environmental protection do not contain evaluative characteristics, which does not allow judging the achievement of key performance indicators. In the existing technological and socioeconomic conditions, this approach cannot meet public needs, the formation of a favorable investment climate. Objective: on the basis of an assessment of the environmental value, significance and efficiency of the activities carried out in a separate specially protected natural area, develop proposals for optimizing the management of the “Kartashovsky Forest” natural monument. Methodology of the work: assessment of the environmental efficiency of specially protected natural areas and their regional systems WWF, 2012; spatial assessment is based on the geoinformation method; information base: state information systems of state executive authorities of the Russian Federation, the Tyumen region, the regulatory legal framework of the Russian Federation, the Tyumen region. Results of work and their scope. Based on the assessment of the environmental value, significance and effectiveness of the activities carried out, proposals were developed to optimize the management of the natural monument “Kartashovsky Forest”. Applications: environmental protection in the Tyumen region, regional management of investment attractiveness. Conclusions. The efficiency of the environmental protection activities carried out on the territory of the natural monument “Kartashovsky Forest” can be increased by introducing modern technological management solutions. The proposed solutions, integrated in a single information space, can be applied in the regional environmental management.

Specially Protected Areas

The concept of “ecological tourism” both in the world and in Russia has appeared in the second half of the twentieth century, although people traveled with natural-focused purposes, including around the protected areas, much earlier. The article presents several definitions of ecotourism, including the two given by the authors. The authors note that ecotourism can be developed in two ways: as a journey on any remaining natural areas or as tour, excursion exclusively within specially protected natural areas (SPNA). The second option is successfully developed in many Englishspeaking countries. The article confirms this fact using the original modern data on the dynamics of visits to the most famous national parks in the USA. Based on the analysis of literature and Internet sources it is concluded that the governance of the Russian Federation considers it necessary to develop eco-tourism in our country according to the second “North American” concept. In this case, the people attending the state protected areas – national parks and reserves with educational and recreational goals should be considered as eco-tourists. Based on this assumption the authors of the article give modern official data concerning the number of specially protected areas of different types in Russia as main destinations of ecotourism. The article presents the diagrams showing the quantitative characteristics of the infrastructure for ecotourists in specially protected areas: visitor centers, museums, ecological paths and routes. The dynamics of tourist arrivals in the reserves and national parks of Russia for the period 2001-2016 years is analyzed. In the final part of the article the main problems of eco-tourists recording are identified.

The paper examines the environmental and legal problems of rational nature management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation being based on an analysis of the works by Russian and foreign scientists. The main ecological and legal directions for the development of rational nature management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, such as (1) the creation of transboundary specially protected natural areas and an increase in the number of national ones; (2) elimination of objects of accumulated harm to the environment, within the framework of which not only the object of accumulated harm itself is disposed, but measures are taken to improve ecological systems; (3) development of aquaculture. It is shown that the development of legal support and management decisions in the field of rational environmental management in the Arctic should be based on coordinated actions of all Arctic states and on the ecosystem approach.

The problem of preserving the environment is still relevant for the world scientific community. In the Russian Federation, the system of specially protected natural areas is a traditional and effective form of environmental protection. The development and improvement of the specially protected natural areas network guarantees that the Russian Federation fulfills its international obligations in the field of environmental protection. An effectively functioning system of specially protected natural areas serves as a framework for ecological stability and ensures sustainable socio-economic development of the country. There is much tension around the issue of coordination of further socio-economic development and environmental protection in many regions (especially in territories with ecological restrictions because of the exceptional value of their natural resources). In the market economy environment regions have to provide effective spatial development of the territory, including specially protected natural areas. At the same time, there is a problem of increasing anthropogenic impact on protected ecosystems caused by the tourism development. This task requires special attention due to insufficient coverage. In this regard, the study of Soviet experience in tourism management in restricted conditions of natural resource use comes into sharp focus. The article considers specific features of tourism management by the party-state and trade union in the restricted conditions of natural resource use in the Baikal region in the 1960s–1980s. The author gives a brief historiographic review of the problem under study. The article deals with the process of implementing the policy of rational use of recreational resources in the Baikal region. Handling the problem of improving of tourist-recreational nature management and ecological compatibility is specified for different levels.
