Abstract
We have carried out legal ecological zoning of Russkiy Island. The categories of protected lands have been defined on the island in agreement with a normative legal base. Data processing of remote sensing, the digital models of a relief, and the data of the state registers has allowed us to calculate the areas of protected lands and to obtain a cartographical image of legal ecological zoning of Russkiy Island. Using quantity indicators, data processing of the landscape organization has allowed us to analyze the features of a spatial structure of landscapes, landscape complexity, and a landscape variety of the protected zones of Russkiy Island. For comparison the analysis of the landscapes of the unprotected territory was carried out too. The analysis of complexity of a landscape drawing and a landscape variety implemented in the present work defines the territory of the protected lands as the most difficult and non-uniform one by the landscape organization compared with the unprotected territory of the island. The estimation of the landscape organization of the protected zones of Russkiy Island is an important component part of the further studies directed to the formation of the balanced system of control by the island nature-economic system.
Highlights
Russkiy Island is located in the Peter the Great Bay of the Sea of Japan and part of Vladivostok city district
This study focuses on legal ecological zoning of Russkiy Island defined by the normative legal documents operating in Russia, as compiled using geospatial modeling and quantitative analysis of landscape organization of protected zones
In agreement with a set purpose, the complex of problems has been carried out: the features of the landscape organization of the island were considered; the categories of protected lands were defined according to legislation of the Russian Federation; remote sensing data, digital models of the relief, and the data of Russia’s governmental registers were processed; mapping of the protected lands were implemented; the landscape structure of the protected zones were analyzed; calculation of indicators of complexity of a landscape structure and a landscape variety of protected zones of Russkiy Island was conducted
Summary
Russkiy Island is located in the Peter the Great Bay of the Sea of Japan and part of Vladivostok city district. Russkiy Island is located closer to the city of Vladivostok than other islands Given this connection, special attention is drawn to its development both on the regional and federal levels. According to the Vladivostok urban district general plan, further construction is planned on the island, which could radical transform the islands natural environment. Given these circumstances, sustainable development is the question of the day. According to this concept, priority would be given to educational, scientific, cultural, tourist-recreational, and exhibition development. Analysis of landscape organization and geosystem function is an important stage when planning regional development
