<p>The current paper describes the basics of the ecological framework theory as a tool aimed at improving functional target characteristics of the regional network in protected areas. It introduces a brief analysis of the experience in the environmental framework development in various subjects of theRussian Federation. The research used ARC GIS 10.1. software to create a spatial ecological framework module for the Bogradsky district (theRepublicofKhakassia). The article offers brief geographical and environmental characteristics of the area as the basis of the content of the information model. The novelty of the research is in its comprehensive and systematically structured approach to the development of the ecological framework, which encompasses the elements of the network of protected areas together with objects of protected natural areas associated with different species of wildlife. The article contains a list of elements included in the spatial GIS module within the project «The Ecological Framework of the Bogradsky District, theRepublicofKhakassia». The project can be a useful tool for inventory, monitoring and development of protected areas</p>

This paper presents experimental research into the attitudes of tourists towards the significance of protected areas with regard to tourism in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, in the northern part of the Republic of Serbia. It is an area with significant rare plant and animal resources, as well as w?tlands, ecosystems, and hilly and mountainous areas. Several research methods have been used in the paper. The first method is to collect data using a written questionnaire that was completed by 215 visitors to different protected areas in AP Vojvodina. Their answers revealed their attitudes toward sustainable tourism in selected protected areas. After examining the differences in the answers using the Kruskal-Wallis test, the results of the survey conducted by the authors were examined by means of two comparative analyses of identical, related, and similar answers in selected case studies. Based on the results of the Kruskal-Wallis Test, it can be concluded that there is a statistically significant difference in the assessments of the importance of activities and the forms of tourism chosen when visiting protected areas. The most important forms of tourism are ecotourism and adventure tourism. Tourists also identified hiking, cycling, and wildlife watching as the most important activities.

В эпоху возрастающего антропогенного воздействия на природу именно особо охраняемые природные территории (ООПТ) стали уникальным явлением, так как они гармонично сочетают в себе природное и историко-культурное наследие и выполняют схожие с музеем функции, что позволяет интерпретировать их как музеи под открытым небом . В данной статье приводятся примеры репрезентации объектов историко-культурного и природного наследия ООПТ Байкальского региона. На основе полевых материалов автора приводится количественная и качественная характеристика музейных институций природоохранных зон, подчеркивается их особая роль в сохранении и популяризации объектов наследия. Кроме того, автор обращает внимание на реализуемые проекты музеефикации, являющейся приоритетным способом актуализации наследия ООПТ, и указывает на положительные и проблемные моменты, касающиеся особенностей сохранения и демонстрации историко-культурного наследия заповедных зон как туристических объектов.In the era of an increasing anthropogenic impact on nature, people seek to preserve pristine ecological systems and create specially protected natural areas. Such areas become a unique phenomenon of our time since they harmoniously combine natural, historical and cultural heritage and perform functions similar with museums, which allows perceiving them as open-air museums. This article discusses the updating of historical and cultural heritage in the museum-type institutions of the protected areas of the Baikal region. The work is interdisciplinary in nature and written at the intersection of related disciplines: museology, geography, history, ecology, and cultural studies. The article provides specific examples of the conservation and representation of movable and immovable objects of historical, cultural and natural heritage located in the protected areas of the Baikal region, namely in Irkutsk Oblast, in the Republic of Buryatia, in Zabaykalsky Krai. Based on field materials, the article provides a quantitative and qualitative description of the museum-type institutions of the specially protected natural areas of the region their special role in preserving, interpreting and popularising not only protected areas, but also objects of historical and cultural heritage located in these territories is shown. In addition, the article presents ongoing museumification projects as a priority way of updating the heritage of the protected areas. For example, the Zapovednoe Podlemorye project (Republic of Buryatia), which aims to convert the scientific base in the Davsha village into an environmental educational museum complex Timeless Shore, is briefly described. The variety of the historical and cultural sites of the protected areas of the Baikal region from the archaeological finds of researchers of the protected areas to the objects of religious significance. The article contains a brief description of some of the most popular historical and cultural sites of the protected natural areas in the region. The article also emphasises that, in order to preserve and update the heritage of the protected areas of the Baikal region, museum-type institutions have been established, namely, museums, visit centres, open-air exhibitions, exhibition complexes, ecological trails with display objects. In the final part of the article, generalisations and conclusions are made both positive points and problems are shown regarding the features of preserving and demonstrating the historical and cultural heritage of protected areas as tourist sites. This article is of interest to museologists, travel agencies, and researchers of environmental protection areas.

Land use and building regulation within protected natural areas in Serbia is specific in comparison to areas without this status. Since urban plans define the rules and conditions limited to urban settlements and locations of national priority (e.g. tourism resort in natural protected areas), other areas, including significant parts of protected natural areas, rely on spatial plans, which often contain elements of detailed urban planning (i.e. regulation and building rules). Preservation of ecologic and environmental functions is a priority in protected natural areas (particularly in zones of I and II level of protection), but they are also eligible for controlled development purposes in zone of III level of protection. Due to large distance from administrative centre and institutions responsible for building inspection, it is not rare case in Serbia that illegal building in protected areas makes them more exposed to illegal actions. Therefore, this paper focuses on the role of spatial plans in balancing between land use and building in protected natural areas on the one hand and nature protection on the other hand. In-depth analysis of chosen spatial plans, here is given a comprehensive review of building and land use postulates, regulations and different levels of protection applied in spatial planning. Starting from the Spatial Plan of the Republic of Serbia 2010- 2020, analysis gives a major significance to four special purpose area spatial plans of different kind: Gornje Podunavlje Special Nature Reserve, Tisa River Multifunctional Ecological Corridor, Kopaonik National Park and Vlasina Landscape of Exceptional Features. Finally, there is shown diversity and systematisation of existing measures, and contribution to understanding of challenges and recommendations on future improvements of methodology in planning and implementation of plans in order to enhance balance between development and protection.

In the following paper the author considers his own ecological framework of the Sviyaga River basin (the right tributary of the Volga River), which was created on the basis of a long-term study of the flora of vascular plants of a natural nature department located in the central part of the Volga Upland. The floristic and geobotanical description of the key areas - the nuclei in the structure of the river basin framework is given, with the justification of the reasons for their isolation and reduction of the rare species of vascular plants of the basin flora that betray the significance of the study area. The author briefly describes corridors and buffer zones in the structure of the ecological framework; they represent continuous linear structures and serve as a kind of bridge for the migration of biological species between the core nuclei. In addition to the cores, corridors and buffer zones in the basin of the Sviyaga River the author identified promising areas (in the number of 7) - reserves of rare and protected plant species. The paper provides information on the existing system of protected areas of the research and perspective sites recommended for inclusion in the network of existing protected areas of the Ulyanovsk Region and the Republic of Tatarstan, in order to preserve the floristic diversity of the region. The presented ecological framework will create good prerequisites for preserving of the biodiversity of the region and contributes to maintaining of the natural potential of the Sviyaga River basin.

In protected areas of Russia unique spatial-coordinated data on their territories on certain positions and methods is collected by local and other scientists. The data is stored in various formats (sometimes physically lost), very rarely in the form of maps, some of them in the annual reports are transferred to the MNR. Systematically arranged collecting, storage, analysis and transfer of these data could be significantly enhanced and optimized
