“…One of the most important aspects of geochemical research was the study of contemporary environmental situation in order to assess the prospects for the development of such types of nature management as recreation and nature protection. Investigations were carried out on the example of a number of model sites, one of which was a recreational area of Lake Kotokel (Kirillov et al, 2014). The hydrochemical network was established to control the water quality at the locations of recreational facilities and prospective tourist routes.…”

Currently, the Russian government has announced the creation of 9 tourism and recreational zones, which have preferential taxation and are designed to develop domestic and foreign tourism. The paper considers the prospects for the development of the Baikal region concerning Special economic zone of tourism and recreation “Baikal Harbour”. The complex approach was used which included the variety of methods such as landscape and geochemical research, the study of contemporary environmental situation in order to assess the prospects for the development of recreation and nature protection. To assess the prospects for the region development as the local population see them the sociological survey was carried out. The SWOT-analysis revealed the positive and negative factors of territory development. To meet the priorities of socio-economic development of the Republic of Buryatia it is optimal to encourage the growth of Special economic zone “Baikal Harbour”. The impact of this zone is believed to be nonthreatening in comparison with unorganised tourism. The diversity of tourism and entertainment creates the necessary conditions for the efficient spending of tourists having a rest in the resort, and provides cash flow, allowing compensate all the investments in basic facilities and tourist infrastructure.

“…The territories of protected areas play a significant role in the formation of global markets for ecological services of ecosystems; the key task is their economic assessment and the introduction of indicators of sustainable development (Bobylev et al, 2018). At present, the situation with the recreational services provided by protected areas has been fairly well analyzed (Kirillov et al, 2014). The environment-forming functions of protected areas are not yet sufficiently evaluated.…”

The creation of rational nature management systems meets the needs of society and the necessary level of reproduction of natural resources and environmental protection. This is the main goal of the strategies for sustainable development of the regions. An integrated approach to assessing natural resource potential necessarily includes an economic assessment of the maximum possible number of environmental services. It forms the basis for territorial and sectoral planning. Protected natural areas have not only valuable biosphere resources, but also unique natural, historical and cultural opportunities for recreational activities. The territory of Tunkinsky National Park, located in the Republic of Buryatia in Russia, completely coincides with the borders of Tunkinsky administrative district of the Republic of Buryatia. Conflicts in the use of natural resources occur between the need to ensure the protection of nature and the development of economic activities. Using the example of Tunkinsky National Park, the role of a territory that is hardly affected by human economic activity, which provides ecologically important conditions for the life of society, is determined in monetary terms.

“…The Lake Baikal region in Siberia is a key location because it is one of the deepest, largest and oldest lakes in the world and includes sites sacred to indigenous people [17,[27][28][29]. The Lake Baikal area is also a region of economic interest with heat and hydropower stations, tourism and forestry industries [29][30][31].…”

Catastrophic fire years that have taken place during the last decade in Siberia, and more generally within the boreal forest, have been directly linked to global warming and had strong repercussions on boreal ecosystems and human populations. In this context the study of the past dynamics of these fires is essential for understanding their links with climate, vegetation and human activity changes on longer time scales than the last few decades. However, few studies on fire dynamics are available for Siberia, and none have been conducted for the entire Holocene period. This study presents the first fire history reconstruction of this area during the Holocene based on charcoals sequestered in sediments of two lakes located on the southern shore of Lake Baikal, in Siberia. The results show a similar trend in the two lakes, with high frequency and high peak magnitude during the Early Holocene and low magnitudes after 6500 cal. yr BP. This difference is interpreted as crown fires versus surface fires. According to pollen records (Dulikha, Vydrino, Ochkovoe) available near the studied lakes, a vegetation transition occurred at the same time. Picea obovata, which has a tree structure prone to crown fires, was dominant during the Early humid Holocene. After 6500 cal. yr BP, conditions were drier and Pinus sylvestris and Pinus sibirica became the dominant species; their tree structure favors surface fires. In addition to vegetation dynamics, the nearby pollen sequence from Dulikha has been used to provide quantitative estimates of past climate, indicating an Early to Middle Holocene climatic optimum between 8000 and 5000 cal. yr BP and an increase in temperatures at the end of the Holocene. These results have been compared to outputs from regional climate models for the Lake Baikal latitudes. Fire dynamics appear to have been more linked to the vegetation than climatic conditions. Over the past 1500 years, the greater presence of human populations has firstly resulted in an increase in the fire frequency, then in its maintenance and finally in its suppression, which may possibly have been due to very recent fire management, i.e., after ca 500 cal. BP.
