Abstract
Five major research areas, debated at an unprecedented, four-day special session of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Geography, Academy of Sciences of the USSR in November 1986, are outlined. Some 30 officially recognized research themes encompassed by these areas represent the Institute's program of research under the Twelfth Five-Year Plan's emphasis on economic restructuring and intensification of resource use. Particular emphasis in the program of research is placed on the study of the interrelated problems of integrated physical geography, human-environment interactions, geosystem stability and instability, the territorial organization of productive forces and settlement, and technological innovations in information systems, modelling, and remote sensing (translated by Jay Mitchell; PlanEcon, Inc.; Washington, DC 20005).
