The polystructural approach in landscape planning in the territories of traditional nature management

The article is devoted to a relevant problem of landscape-ecological planning. The purpose of the article is to analyze the possibilities of applying the concept of landscape polystructure in landscape-ecological planning in the territories of traditional nature use. In Neryungrinsky district of South Yakutia there are still territories of compact residence and traditional nature use of indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North – Evenks; in addition, there is an active industrial development of the territory. On the example of the Neryungrinsky district of Yakutia the characteristic features in the spatial polystructural organization of the landscape are identified and described. The polystructural approach in landscape planning includes different ways of describing the spatial structure of the landscape and, accordingly, implies the use of different approaches and methods in their study. Special attention is paid to morphological and basin structures of the landscape. Remote sensing data interpreted using GIS tools were used to determine the morphological structure of the territory. The construction of river basin boundaries was carried out using automated methods of geoinformation technologies, which made it possible to determine the number of second-order river basins in the Iengra River watershed, establish their average gradient and identify pollution risk situations. The use of the concept of polystructure in landscape planning makes it possible to find a harmonious balance between industrial development, traditional economy and ecological stability in the same territory. Industrial development creates a number of problems in the territories of traditional nature use and affects the reduction of reindeer pastures. However, with competent landscape planning it is possible not only to preserve the traditional way of life of local residents, but also to add a number of additional opportunities to it.
