Geographical and environmental research of transboundary territories: results and prospects

Abstract

The study of transboundary territories is an urgent and complex issue of geography since currently there is no well-developed methodology for studying these objects and there are only sectoral approaches to those. The landscape-ecological analysis of transboundary territories with their own characteristic set of relationships between man and nature should be based on a systematic approach that allows the geographical objects with different intersystem connections to be studied. From the point of view of system approach, the object of the study is a set of transboundary systems. In addition, the study of transboundary territories is possible due to the complexity of the study which is based on the landscape theory, the V.B. Sochava’s theory of dynamics and evolution of geosystems, methods of ecological zoning.
