Territorial resources of Baikal zone: project development methodology

Abstract

The main goal of the study is to form the methodological approaches in order to create a unified concept of socio-economic development of the territorial resources of the Baikal zone in terms of severe environmental restrictions; study and analysis of inertial factors; current trends in the transformation of the territorial and sectoral structure of the Baikal zone as a taxonomic subregion of the Baikal and Transbaikalia territory It was revealed that the main dominant in relation to the territorial resources is environmental protection. This limits both at present and in the future the effective use of the resource potential of the territory, since the methodology of the program of economic, economic and social evolution of the territory has not been formulated yet in the paradigm of the “new” economy where the traditional resources acquire new qualities via innovative technologies, including the quality of environmental feasibility. The article defines a set of industries that has been identified and whose development in Industry 4.0 and Agricilture 4.0 format, not disrupting the homeostasis of the territory, can serve as attractors of the socio-economic development of the unique territory of the Baikal zone. The article justifies that there is a necessity to distinguish the Baikal zone into “subadministrative” district in relation to the Irkutsk Oblast and Republic within the aquatic regions of Lake Baikal. The creation of the scientific and methodological Baikal center at the federal level, the transfer of managerial functions of the Baikal zone to a state corporation with the authority to administer a territory with quasi-legislative and quasi-judicial functions will help to solve the problems. The proposals about sources of financing for the implementation of the proposed Concept of socio-economic development of the Baikal zone are presented in the article.
