Application of landscape planning approach for study of peculiarities of territorial organization and territorial development

Abstract

Abstract Forming of economic-geographical environment for innovative development is closely related to landscape and resource characteristics of a territory. It is revealed through a system of related characteristics that should geographically fully and accurate describe the nature, economy and population of the territory and express its state through a special assessment indication function of all natural and economic factors. Such task is solved on empirical data and the principles of the geosystem theory by Sochava, indicative and landscape planning approach, methods of interpretation mapping, comparative geographical analysis, geoinformation and math modeling. A landscape typological map is considered as an invariant basis for the analysis of the territory, reflecting the spatial distribution of geosystems of different types and allowing to derive new knowledge and create thematic maps of different content for solving applied problems. Features of the geographical environment and its impact are taken into account through the introduction of quantitative environmental corrections using the methodology of polisystematic stratification. A unified database with a grid of natural and economic units of the landscape map is created for the area of the Selenga river delta for analysis of the territorial organization peculiarities and local development. The assessment indication function is calculated on the geosystem database and characterizes the features of the territorial organization with the definition of individual indicators of economic development for each unit of the study area.
