Abstract. Open data and Open-source tools are widely and globally used in the activities of research institutions. Particularity of scientific projects at the Center for Forest Ecology and Productivity of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CEPF RAS) includes ecology and productivity of forests in Russia. In order to emphasize and to develop the ecosystem functions, resources and environmental potential of Russian forests the Center uses geoinformational and remote sensing methods and tools. Logistically complex and economically costly ground access to the forest fires and forest resources is the specific feature of Russian forest domain. Open Data and Open Source tools have an essential methodological, technological meaning, as well as a potential for the forestry challenges in the country. We present an Open GeoData and Open Source GIS’s experience of ongoing activities devoted to the transport modelling (transport accessibility in the forests and emission of carbon dioxide). An “Open”-research direction extends the activities of the “Transportation Task” group by implementing OSM and QGIS with its plugins. CEPF popularizes Open data and Open Source in their geo-applications by giving lectures and publishing papers in the “Forest Science Issues” interdisciplinary journal.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Considering built and landscape heritage, the paper demonstrates how it is necessary to conserve the historic stratification and to define new compatible plans and uses, identifying the ways to mitigate alteration impacts, requalify degraded areas, enhance natural, historic and cultural values, improve documentary and educational options, and manage new tasks and opportunities. Particularly, the historic complexity of built and landscape heritage, and the level of permanence can be recognized and evaluated by comparing multi-temporal historic and current maps, and surveying the present situation in order to define preservation strategies.</p><p>Innovative tools (open source map registry, open source GIS data management) support the critical analysis of the maps, the representation of historic stratification, the evaluation of conservation levels, and the definition of heritage reuse and management. Moreover, innovative applications based on advanced Virtual Hub, when used to publish historical maps as Open Data (GEOPAN ATL@S APP), allow a larger public of non-expert users (tourists, citizens, bikers, students, etc.) to access the extraordinary richness of the historical map contents, and navigate across urban landscapes. Such APPs are thus becoming instruments of awareness with a strong pro-active capacity to stimulate new design plans encompassing local cultural identity and rediscovering traces of the past.</p>

AbstractOpen geospatial data and tools are an increasingly important paradigm offering the opportunity to promote the democratization of geographical information, the transparency of governments and institutions, as well as social, economic and environmental opportunities. During the past decade, developments in the area of open geospatial data and open-source geospatial software have greatly improved. Many parts of the research community believe that combining free and open software, open data, as well as open standards, leads to the creation of a sustainable ecosystem to accelerate new discoveries to help solve global cross-disciplinary societal challenges, from climate change mitigation to sustainable cities. The consistent prevalence of open source GIS studies motivated this thematic collection. The contributions are divided into two main categories. In the first category, seven concrete studies on open-source tools and technologies for urban and environmental studies are briefly presented. Each one has been implemented for and applied to a certain use case, and at the same time it may be applied to other use cases due to the reproducibility nature of open source software. The second category presents and discusses the usability of open source geospatial solutions for laser scanning technology and its applications.

The results of the authors' presentation at the session of the Bureau of Psychology and Age Physiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the activities of Perm Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences at the Perm State Humanitarian Pedagogical University are presented. The report outlines the main historical stages of development of Perm scientific psychological school and analyzes the logic of deployment of the psychology of integral individuality of a person in six research programs. Particular attention is paid to the research direction of the Scientific Center, in particular, the study of systemic integration of individuality, new types of abilities in the structure of integral individuality. The issue of introducing the results of studies of integral individuality into the practical activities of supporting the individuality of subjects of education, teachers and school psychological services is discussed.

The article considers current problems of Russia´s science. Special attention is paid to external factors that negatively influence its effectiveness including considerable lag in public management sector. The issues of opposing higher education sector to the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) are also discussed. A number of indicators of the Russian science and its academic sector effectiveness are presented. The expediency of comparing scientific results with R&D expenditures is shown. The problems connected with using bibliometric methods are discussed. Special attention is paid to the necessity of preserving and further developing Russian science including RAS.
