“…There are urgent issues concerning the need to preserve the ecological framework of the territory and its economic development. In the current situation, conflicts between different types of nature management are frequent [2]. Though there is also a positive trend of development of cooperation ties with the Republic of Mongolia on the matter of improving the condition of lake Baikal [3].…”

Assessment of environmental activities in the Baikal natural territory is an important direction of nature management rationalization in the region due to the high nature-oriented status of the territory as a World Heritage Site and the uniqueness of its natural, ecological, cultural and historical features. Analysis of the existing structure of nature management in the Republic of Buryatia has shown a vast variety of natural benefits that are not fully used at the present time, and in this connection, it is necessary to identify priority areas of using natural resource potential with an increase in the scale of environmental activities. It is extremely important to identify current and potential conflicts of nature management associated with the state regulation of environmental protection and the search for priority investment objects, the daily activities of the population living in specially protected natural areas. Modern legislation concerning the protection of lake Baikal needs to be revised, due to the inability of local population to conduct the necessary activities in the Baikal natural territory in the conditions of environmental restrictions.

“…The shore territories of Lake Baikal that are under economic development, including residential areas, should have water protection zoning with differentiation of actions for pollution prevention and minimization of negative anthropogenic impacts on the lake's ecosystem, with consideration of opportunities for economic development of the territories. The zoning of urbanized territories must be based on nature conditions, as well as the peculiarities of residential, engineering, transport, and communal infrastructures [34].…”

The article is dedicated to the justification and practical implementation of a nature protection-based methodological approach to define the boundaries of the Lake Baikal protection zone and form proposals related to the harmonization of instruments of environmentally responsible development of the territory, which has the status of a World Heritage site as it contains 20% of the world’s fresh water supply. An analysis of the contemporary conditions of Lake Baikal and its surrounding landscapes show environmental degradation of the area. The most important aspects in solving the existing problem may be the construction of a science-based definition of the Lake Baikal water protection zone and compliance with the universal global values related to the requirements of ecological threat prevention. The main landscape-hydrological design principles for the water protection zone are studied in this article. A method for the functional water protection zoning of urban territories is also given. This has been implemented in Baikalsk town, which is located on the Baikal shore and is considered to be one of the most environmentally damaged territories. Proposals include recommendations on the harmonization of the landscape-hydrological principles of territory assessment and methods for target landscape planning; the setting of various restrictions within the boundaries of existing industrial and settlement zones; the creation of an overall system of environmental health monitoring for Lake Baikal and its protection zones; and for ensuring interactions with the public.
