ИЗМЕНЕНИЕ ПОДХОДОВ К ПРОЦЕССУ ГЕНЕРАЛЬНОГО ПЛАНИРОВАНИЯ ГОРОДОВ: ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ СМЫСЛА ИЛИ СМЕНА НАЗВАНИЯ

In the Russian Federation, «general plans» are commonly used as territorial planning tools developed to regulate the prospective development of cities. They determine the functional distribution of territorial resources for the purposes of building formation and the establishment of its permissible parameters. However, «general plans» are being increasingly criticized, primarily due to their simplified and standard approach to forecasting the city’s future development, which fails to consider the real long-term socio-economic and technological trends, managerial aspects and changing needs of citizens. This requires a constant alteration of documents designed to last for at least 20 years. The territorial planning system needs a significant transformation. However, questions arise as to whether to keep the usual «general plans» or replace them with master plans that go beyond the urban planning approach, and combine strategic and project forms of long-term planning. Will the replacement of documents help the implementation of urban development plans? Or is the form of the document not so important, provided that proactive proposals are actively taken into account, policies based on long-term forecasting are applied, and digital and other modern tools are used? The article discusses approaches to updating the territorial planning system, the specifics of the formation and conditions for the development of master plans, and the assessment of their success in achieving their goals.

Bodies and spaces of insanity. Towards a new bond of care between the territory and psychiatric vulnerabilities

The paper reflects about the relationship between space and the body affected by psychiatric vulnerability. In 1978, with Law no. 180, Italy, the first nation in the world, closed psychiatric hospitals and established a system of treatment for mental discomfort widespread in the territories. However, this system has not yet been implemented and, at the same time, especially as a result of the CoViD-19 outbreak, psychic vulnerability continues to grow. In this perspective, the paper questions what new links of care can be woven between territory and mental health. It presents a survey on how the relationship between bodies (with particular regard to the female ones) and madness developed in Italy, through the reading of spatial – architectural and urban – devices which, since the birth of the psychiatric discipline in the mid-nineteenth century, have been used over time to ‘manage’ mental illness. The reflections here proposed dialogue with urban planning, summoning it to deal with the concept of ‘city that care’, understood as a project of mental health and social cohesion based on a new ‘alliance among bodies’ and between them and territorial resources.

Spatiotemporal evolution and Sustainably comprehensive zoning optimization of production–living–ecological functions in the Mountain–Flatland areas

Examining the spatiotemporal changes of territorial space is crucial for addressing the conflict between economic-social development and the natural environment and achieving optimal territorial space utilization. However, there is a research gap regarding the spatial characteristics and optimization in the mountain–flatland area. To address this gap, this paper focuses on the urban agglomeration in Central Yunnan (UACY) as a representative mountain-flatland area. A mountain–flatland classification model was established. Based on the evaluation of production– living– ecological functions, the economic models were introduced to measure the balance degree, and further researched the spatiotemporal evolution and coupling coordination characteristics by spatial analysis from 2010 to 2020. The findings indicate the following: (1) The study area exhibited distinct mountain-flatland differentiation, with "western mountainous counties (MCs)/semi-mountainous and semi-flatland counties (SMSFCs), central flatland counties (FCs), and eastern SMSFCs". production function (PF) primarily formed a cluster in the central-northeastern areas of FCs and of SMSFCs, living function (LF) was highly clustered in the central areas of FCs, remained stable, and ecological function (EF) was significantly clustered in the northwestern regions of MCs and of SMSFCs, significantly enhanced in the northeast. (2) The imbalance degree followed the order LF > PF > EF, showing a decreasing trend primarily driven by intra-group imbalances within FCs, SMSFCs, and MCs. The coordinate areas were mainly concentrated in central FCs, and the dysfunctional areas was largely located in MCs and SMSFCs, the degree was improved, especially in northwestern and southeastern MCs and SMSFCs. (3) The study area fell into 18 functional areas, optimized into 13 areas, with recommendations for differentiated development control paths to achieve an optimization of PLEFs. These results provide theoretical references for promoting sustainable utilization of territorial resources and facilitating high-quality regional development in UACY and other parts of the country.

Information circulation among Spanish-speaking and Caribbean communities related to COVID-19: A social media-based multidimensional analysis.

Scientific research from North America and Europe tends to predominate the Internet, and benefits English-speaking users. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 death rate was high at the onset of the pandemic in Spanish-speaking countries, and information on nearby Caribbean countries was rarely highlighted. Given the rise in social media usage in these regions, the online dissemination of scientific information related to COVID-19 must be thoroughly examined. This study aimed to provide a multidimensional analysis of peer-reviewed information circulation related to COVID-19 in Spanish-speaking and Caribbean regions. COVID-19-related peer-reviewed resources shared by online accounts located in Spanish-speaking and Caribbean regions were identified through the altmetric website, and their information was collected. A multidimensional model was employed to examine these resources, considering time, individuality, place, activity, and relations. Time was operationalized as the six dates of data collection, individuality as the knowledge area and accessibility level, place as the publication venue and affiliation countries, activity as the altmetric score and number of mentions in the selected regions, and relations as co-authorship between countries and types of social media users who disseminated COVID-19 related information. The highest information circulation peaks in Spanish-speaking countries were from April to August 2020 and December 2020 to April 2021, whereas the highest peaks in Caribbean regions were from December 2019 to April 2020. As for Spanish-speaking regions, at the onset of the pandemic, scientific expertise was concentrated on a few peer-reviewed sources written in English. The top scientific journals mentioned were from Anglo-speaking westernized regions, whereas the top scientific authorships were from China. The most mentioned scientific resources were about breakthrough findings in the Medical and Health Sciences written in highly technical language. The top relationships were self-loops in China, while international collaborations were between China and the U.S. Argentina had high closeness and betweenness, and Spain had high closeness. Based on social media data, a combination of media outlets, educational institutions, and expert associations, particularly from Panama, influenced the diffusion of peer-reviewed information. We determined the diffusion patterns of peer-reviewed resources in Spanish-speaking countries and Caribbean territories. This study aims to advance the management and analysis of online public data from People of Color to improve public health communication in their regions. Non-Applicable.

The Plantain chain (<em>Musa AAB</em>) in Caldas: consolidated governance processes

Plantain cultivation is of great importance for the country´s food security and sovereignty. In Colombia, about 87 % of the established area is associated crop and 13 % as monoculture; It is one of the subsectors that generates the highest income and employment, in 2022 960,000 direct and indirect jobs were reported. In the Caldas department, plantain is cultivated in all municipalities, its value chain, its main actors, flows, synergies, and governance spaces around this productive system were analyzed. For this purpose, a mapping of local actors was used with a Social Network Analysis, a description of the de facto banana value chain and it was analyzed under the Governance Analytical Framework. There is evidence of a productive system with well differentiated areas in terms of technological development, integration of chain links, articulation of institutions, organizational processes, access to national and international markets, and agro-industrial transformation processes. The articulation and cooperation between inter-institutional actors have been critical for development of collective actions to optimize resources, time, processes, and maximize the generated impact. The Caldas roundtables competitiveness emerge and position themselves as a consolidated space for territorial governance, which in turn catalyzes articulation dynamics and institutional interventions to enhance the resources of value chains and territories.

Reconversion of Agri-Food Production Systems and Deagrarianization in Spain: The Case of Cantabria

The term deagrarianization refers to the dwindling importance of agrarian activity as the economic and social basis of a rural area. Deagrarianization is reflected in the declining number of people engaged in agricultural production and a reduction in the relative importance of agricultural incomes. In addition to the economic consequences, deagrarianization also erodes the importance of the rural population in territorial organization and management and social functioning in rural areas. However, it is also true that the simultaneous shift towards the service economy in present-day rural economies and societies has not led to the disappearance of the rural space but, instead, given rise to new and multiple forms of rurality. The priority objective of the research on which this paper is based is to gain insight into the rural deagrarianization processes in Spain through the specific case of Cantabria. In order to analyze these dynamics, a series of basic indicators have been used. In order of importance, the main indicators employed were those related to the recent dynamics of agriculture, livestock, and forestry activity and the occupational structure of the population as regards its sectoral distribution, with particular attention being paid to the relative importance of livestock and forestry activities in relation to the direct exploitation of territorial resources. In the past, primary sector activities were very important in Cantabria, but their importance has steadily declined in both absolute and relative terms until reaching the current situation. In 2023, only 4579 people have been employed in agriculture out of a total of 214,574 active people (2.13%). It is very significant that between 2012 and 2021, the total number of employed people increased by 9.08% in Cantabria while the proportion of people employed in agricultural activities decreased by −12.90%. Farming is no longer the rural occupation par excellence; however, it continues to be important in most Cantabrian rural municipalities. The territorial distribution is even more revealing. Southern mountain municipalities can be considered the last stronghold of agricultural activity since, in most cases, more than a quarter of their active population is employed in this sector. These are also the rural areas with the highest levels of depopulation. In contrast, other activity sectors have also gained importance in rural areas, although not in the same way. In general, there is less service economy employment in inland rural municipalities, except in those that are county capitals offering services. Some rural, peri-urban, and coastal areas where tourism is more strongly developed also reach high values.

Foreign Concessions in Developing Natural Resources of Northeastern RSFSR in 1920s

This article examines the establishment of the state concession policy in the USSR during the 1920s, focusing on its objectives and principles, as well as its expansion into the northeastern regions of the Soviet state. The natural resources of the northeastern territories of Russia had attracted the attention of foreign concessionaires since prerevolutionary times, who established a network of trading representations for the procurement and export of furs, mammoth bones, fish, and various raw materials. In the 1920s, the Soviet state conducted significant work to prepare and approve legislative acts regulating concession activities and aimed at strengthening state influence over them. Special bodies were created to address these issues, including foreign trade departments (Vneshtorg), concession commissions (concesscom), and planning commissions. Through agreements between the Soviet government and foreign companies, concession activities began to yield practical results from the mid1920s. The principles on which it was based aimed to direct foreign economic relations towards the reconstruction of the country's economy. Overall, it can be concluded that the concession policy pursued by the USSR in the 1920s proved successful, playing a significant role in the reconstruction of the national economy after the civil war.

Символические ресурсы локальных культур в экономике впечатлений

In the post-industrial world, traditional communities are becoming active participants in market interactions, employing the mechanisms of capitalization of their local cultures’ material and symbolic components. The theoretical model of symbolic resources helps to identify both common and specific traits of the cultural institutes that determine the value of the “location” in the economic exchange, social communication and artistic processes. The concepts of creative industries demonstrate complementarity of the approaches to the analysis of cultural commodification that have developed in the economy of culture and within cultural studies. The interdisciplinary perspective reflects the way cultural industry operates at the level of actors, products of their co-production and their cooperation spaces. The experience economy theory shifts the focus from the consumption of ready products to the audiences’ involvement in the processes of personal transformation in local cultural contexts. The conversion of a customer’s situational experience to a sustainable need for cultural participation takes consequent steps. Each step adds value to the material and symbolic assets of an area. The model of the value chain of experience localization shows how the mutual influence of creation, production, consumption and dissemination of goods and services allow the viewer to co-participate in a “play” on the local “cultural stage”. The interaction of semiotic codes and material base of creative products frames the cooperation of creators, marketers and consumers in each sector of the local experience production. Preservation of traditions that represent the local communities’ way of life and their historical memory is an important strategy of creative businesses on the regional, national and global markets. The theory describing how the actors of the experience economy articulate the symbolic resources of certain territories can be used to analyse innovations within creative entrepreneurship and to evaluate the current state of traditional cultures.

Geographical problems of economic development of the seaside towns controlled by the government of Georgia: The cases of Batumi and Poti

The main goal of the study is to identify and classify economic problems in the cities of the coastal zone of Georgia. For this purpose, the Georgian coastal cities of Batumi and Poti have been selected. The research attempts to answer three strategic questions: 1. What is the relationship between the authorities of the seaside city and the existing business entities? 2. How does the population assess the role of authorities at various levels in the economic development of the cities under study? 3. What is the participation level of the population in economic projects in their cities? The study is empirical in nature. The main method used is triangulation (document analysis, qualitative research, quantitative research, mapping), partly a case method, and comparative analysis. It has been established that the territorial resources of both cities are severely limited for their future economic development. The study presents a classification of the existing problems hindering the economic growth of coastal cities based on expert assessments. It turns out that owing to limited financial resources, city municipalities cannot increase their participation in current economic projects. The article reveals certain disagreements between the interests of municipalities and economic entities. Furthermore, a survey conducted among the population shows an indifferent and even negative attitude of the local population towards the role of local municipalities in the economic development of cities. The research indicates that an involvement of the urban population in ongoing and promising economic projects in cities is rather low.

Flexible Trip-Planning Queries

The current practice of users searching for different types of geo-resources in a geographic area and wishing to identify the most convenient routes for visiting the most relevant ones, requires the iterative formulation of several queries: first to identify the more interesting resources and then to select the best route to visit them. In order to simplify this process, in this paper a novel functionality for a geographic information retrieval (GIR) system is proposed, which retrieves and ranks several routes for visiting a number of relevant georeferenced resources as a result of a single query, named flexible trip-planning query. An original retrieval model is defined to identify the relevant resources and to rank the most convenient routes by taking into account personal user preferences. To this end, a graph-based algorithm is defined, exploiting prioritized aggregation to optimize the routes’ identification and ranking. The proposed algorithm is applied in the proof-of-concept of a Smart cOmmunity-based Geographic infoRmation rEtrievAl SysTem (SO-GREAT) designed to strengthen local communities: it collects and manages open data from regional authorities describing categories of authoritative territorial resources and services, such as schools, hospitals, etc., and from volunteered geographic services (VGSs) created by citizens to offer services in their neighbourhood.

РЕНОВАЦИЯ ГОРОДСКИХ ТЕРРИТОРИЙ: ПРОБЛЕМЫ И ПУТИ РЕШЕНИЯ НА ПРИМЕРЕ Г. БЕЛГОРОДА

. The formation of a high-quality and comfortable urban environment is largely associated with the rational use of the territories of municipalities. To achieve maximum effective use of territories, it is often necessary to carry out renovation within their boundaries. The article discusses the planning features of the city of Belgorod: the main planning areas, their specific features. Based on the analysis, the main problems of the planning structures of the city are identified, which include: the problem of irrational use of urban land; the problem of the presence of degrading and depressed territories; the problem of scarcity of territorial resources; the problem of development of transport and planning structures; the problem of the state of the housing stock; the problem of a small number of green areas and public and recreational spaces. Based on the analysis of the planning structures of the city of Belgorod, the author puts forward a number of urban areas that are especially in dire need of renovation. A proposal for the renovation of the Cheryomushki microdistrict has been developed, which is aimed at resolving the identified problems and creating a high-quality and comfortable urban environment, saturated with housing stock, social, public, commercial and other facilities. The development of a proposal for renovation is proposed in close connection with the formation of a digital twin of the territory - a layered digital urban twin of all components of the territory and a digital twin in the form of a three-dimensional model that includes various statistical databases.

SOCIAL FACILITIES: RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS AND DIRECTIONS OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT

The purpose of the study is to determine the importance of social infrastructure for a modern city and to identify ways of its urban development (on the example of the city of Moscow). We used statistical data (from official municipal and regional sources), the results of a systemic, typological, functional-structural analysis, and a sociological survey of the population. An assessment of the current challenges of the development of society, an analysis of scientific research in the field of economics, education, and culture allowed the author to determine the importance of social infrastructure for a modern city as a tool for transforming the urban environment, improving the quality of human capital, and strengthening the economic basis of the city. The author proposes a periodization of the development of the social infrastructure of Moscow from the moment of the formation of the USSR in 1922 to the present with the identification of basic political and economic tasks that determined the role and directions of development of the sphere of cultural and community services. In the conditions of the existing structural deformations of the system of cultural and community services for the population, the lack of territorial resources in the areas of existing development, ways to improve the social infrastructure are proposed, including planning optimization of the territory, clarification of the typology and structure of public centers, development of a model of the functional and spatial organization of the service system, methods of intensifying the use of the territory , taking into account the sociological factor, monitoring the level of urban development of social infrastructure. The scientific novelty of this study is the study of the socio-economic basis of the SI problems in various periods of the development of the city of Moscow, the identification of unique modern sociological, planning conditions for its functioning, the development of a system of scientific and methodological approaches to its improvement

Baikal Zone as a Sub-Region: Methodological Approaches to Development

The object of the study is the Baikal zone allocated by the authors as a set of territorial, economic and environmental resources of the subjects of the Federation adjacent to Baikal – the Irkutsk Region, the Republic of Buryatia. The objective contradiction between the environmental component and the need for socio-economic development limits the possibilities of territorial development and provokes conflicts of regional interests between trans-Baikal subjects. In order to harmonize environmental, economic and administrative-organizational trends in the effective use of territorial resources, a draft methodological justification for the allocation of the Baikal zone to the trans-Baikal subregion with a special ecological, economic and administrative status is proposed. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign experience in the development and implementation of large-scale regional development programs, methodological recommendations are formulated for modeling the administrative and management system of the subregion. As for the formation of an environmentally oriented optimal sectoral structure of the territory, possible sources of financing for the projected Concept of socio-economic transformation of the Baikal zone are proposed.

An integrated conceptual model to characterize the effects of offshore wind farms on ecosystem services

Offshore wind farm development has become a key measure of energy transition in recent years. Coastal territories are particularly favorable to the development of offshore wind farms due to their high energy potential. However, these areas are also hotspots of biodiversity, provide attractive landscapes and are under strong anthropogenic pressures. Preserving and sharing the natural and cultural resources of coastal territories while intensifying renewable marine energies, represents one of the most important challenges for future management of coastal environments. Consequently, systemic models that consider all the effects of offshore wind farms on ecosystems and society are essential. Here, we propose a conceptual model for studying these effects, by mobilizing the concept of ecosystem service in a systemic and integrated assessment approach. To that aim, we reviewed the literature and compiled experts’ knowledge in order to characterize the effects of offshore wind farms on food webs during the construction and operation phases. Then, we analyzed the contribution of trophic compartments on ecosystem functions, ecosystem services and beneficiaries, and how offshore wind farms modify the relationships between these compartments of the marine coastal social-ecological systems. Our approach helps identify the causal chains that generate the most important modifications in this system. This information could then be used to predict impacts of offshore wind farms on ecosystem services, and to suggest management trade-offs. This study reveals the need for further studies relating marine biodiversity to ecosystem services, and developing systemic approaches at different scales. The analysis of the effects of offshore wind farms on ecosystem services is crucial since it is linked to strong ecological, socio-economic and political issues.

Synergy/trade-offs and differential optimization of production, living, and ecological functions in the Yangtze River economic Belt, China

The high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) is a major strategy related to China’s overall national development. Based on the synergy/trade-offs of production, living, and ecological functions (PLEFs) in the YREB from 2000 to 2020, this paper puts forward suggestions for the optimization of territorial space to promote the high-quality development of the YREB. The mechanistic equilibrium model was applied to determine the synergy/trade-off relationship of PLEFs, and the key factors affecting the coordination degree were analyzed with the help of a geographical detector and a geographically weighted regression (GWR) model to further identify the trade-off zones and propose differential optimization strategies. The results showed that the average degree of synergy of PLEFs decreased from 0.18 to 0.08 in YREB during the study period, and the coordination developed to a higher level, forming a local patchwork of coordination “highlands” in space, with a gradient divergence of coordination from west to east. The land-use degree, landscape, slope, traffic, and nightlight index were the dominant factors influencing PLEFs, and their q-values were 0.30, 0.27, 0.20, 0.18 and 0.14 in order, with significant spatial differences in the effects of each factor’s role. Based on the deviation of the coordination degree of PLEFs, three major function-dominated zones were divided, and it was found that the YREB showed an evolutionary trend of ecological function domination (2000) to production function domination (2010) to ecological function domination (2020). The trade-off zones in antagonistic and dysregulated states were further identified, and the study proposed targeted optimization strategies. The findings provide theoretical reference to promote the sustainable use of territorial resources and high-quality regional development in the YREB and the rest of the country.

Land and Water in Rural São Paulo: Case Study of Environmental Inequalities in Brazil

The governance of environmental resources in rural territories is an issue that has received special attention in recent studies. This article presents research on conflicts in the management of water policies in rural territories in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The study addresses a case of tensions and conflicts in water governance promoted by River Basin Committees. The case study, carried out in the municipality of Barra Bonita between 2000 and 2010, used qualitative social research techniques, focusing on semistructured interviews, utilizing oral reports, and documentary survey. Based on the results of this research, this article discusses how different agrarian and agricultural contexts reproduce specific forms of inequalities in access to water, thus compromising the promotion of lasting standards of environmental justice at the local level.

ЗЕМЕЛЬНЫЕ РЕСУРСЫ И ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЕ РАЗВИТИЕ РЕГИОНА

The Russian Federation had and continues to have the largest national land wealth in the world, which can be a solid basis for solving the country’s urgent socio-economic problems. In turn, the existing system of territorial planning does not fully take into account the trends and problems of land development. The article analyzes the processes of evolution of the use of land resources in Russia, which showed institutional limitations and the absence of a modern concept, including the definition of tasks, goals, principles of implementation, methods and directions of regulatory influence. In this regard, the article proves the importance of creating and developing a territorial system of land resources to ensure the expanded reproduction of the functionality of land resources and the most efficient balanced use of land resources not only as an economic resource and an object of market relations, but also in the interests of maximizing the satisfaction of current and future needs of society. In order to solve these problems and improve the process of involving land resources for capital construction, the author proposes to create a Land Management Company. The article develops the theoretical and methodological provisions of the Company, in the processes of which the processes of planning and surveying of territories, planning and economic development of municipalities are interconnected, taking into account the balance of free and developed lands of different intensity of use in planning the configurations of urban objects. Based on this, it has been proved that the effectiveness of land resources depends primarily on the development project, the balance of land resources when planning the configuration of the development of the territory, the potential of ecosystem and territorial resources, the assessment of which will allow you to adjust the processes of land management and accept analysis and adopt reasonable urban planning and management solutions.

Трудовые ресурсы сельских территорий: распределение по видам экономической деятельности

The distribution of labor resources in rural areas is determined by a number of factors that affect the system of formation of human resources by types of economic activity. Labor resources, as a type of economic category, embody the economic relations that develop in society regarding the production, storage and redistribution of working capacity, which corresponds to their type of activity. This article discusses the distribution of labor resources of rural areas by types of economic activity. The practical basis of the study was data on the labor resources of rural territories distributed by types of economic activity of the Krasnodar Krai, Rostov Region, belonging to the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation, as well as the Trans-Baikal Territory and Primorye, which are part of the Far Eastern Federal District. The study considers strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

НЕЙРОСЕТЕВАЯ МОДЕЛЬ ДЛЯ СЕГМЕНТАЦИИ КОСМИЧЕСКИХ СНИМКОВ В МОНИТОРИНГЕ ФАКТОРОВ ОБЕЗЛЕСЕНИЯ ТЕРРИТОРИИ

The article deals with the important problem of applying neural network models in the tasks of monitoring the condition of forest areas using optical satellite images. Objective. The objective of this research was to develop a neural network model of forest felling suitable for automation of decoding multispectral Sentinel-2 satellite images in forest monitoring tasks in the example of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Materials and Methods. The basis of the developed model was the forest harvesting satellite images segmentation procedure based on the convolutional neural network of deep learning. Sentinel-2 data interpretation was done using the modern QGIS geoinformation system. Over 990 pairs of multi-temporal space images of the forest territories of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug in winter (snow) period of 2018–2022 were processed to prepare the training data set. More than 70 000 images of the training data set and corresponding masks of forest cutting contours were generated with these images. Results. As a result of this work, a neural network model of forest felling was created, which implements efficient segmentation of space images, which allowed automating the labor-intensive procedure of interpretation of multispectral Sentinel-2 images in order to identify forest logging contours. The set of training data totally 70 000 frames was divided into the training, validation (test) and test (control) samples, the amount of which for the deve¬lopment of the neural network model of forest felling was 58 000, 10 000 and 3600 frames respectively. The novelty of the model is determined, on the one hand, by the use of winter (snow) satellite images for training the neural network and, on the other hand, by the use of pairs of images acquired before and after forest felling. Recall, Precision and F-measure metrics were used as the criteria to evaluate the accuracy of the trained neural network model, and the values were calculated from the test sample. The calculated accuracy of felling detection using the proposed model on the test sample of data on different metrics reaches 85–87%. Conclusion. The developed neural network model of forest felling can be used for monitoring and mapping of forest resources of the northern forestry territories of Russia using multispectral Sentinel-2 satellite images.
