This paper aims at providing a synthetic (semantic, social, cultural, historic) survey on the names used for the tourist and catering business entities in Kuzbass, with an attempt to discover the reason for naming trends in the region. Naming is one of the most ubiquitous and important activities in business sphere, pursuing a number of goals: (1) identifying and promoting the brand / image of a business entity; (2) making sure the business will function well because its name is alluring for clients, or the name is targeted efficiently; (3) the name renders the values and ideology of the company. Linguistically, the main ways to produce business or brand names are the following: abbreviations, shortenings and/or blends, associations, allusions / associations, rhyming, transonimization (using proper names of real or imaginary people for business names), using foreign words, significant numbers, quotations / allusions / alliterations / mythological elements. “Traditional” naming may exploit ancient elements (old-fashioned and outdated words, spelling, grammar, etc.). Naming in Kuzbass in tourist sphere does not rely heavily on mining concept, but rather exploits its regional exotics and a competitive differentiator. Recreational tourism in its naming promotes the concept of vast taiga spaces and pristine Siberian nature. 1 Introduction Kemerovo Region-Kuzbass is a classic example of the resource curse of modern civilization. On the one hand, it is the largest coal mining region in Russia with one of the largest coal basins in the world. On the other hand, its pristine nature offers a huge recreational potential. The first image of “the mining heart of Russia” is more or less familiar to all Russians, while the image of Kuzbass as “the Russian Switzerland” requires a thoroughly planned official policy to give it a chance over the industrial face of the region, given the negative associations with bad ecology, moon landscapes, and miners’ strikes. Indeed, the Strategy of Social and Economic Development of Kuzbass through to 2035 mentions both directions, i.e. industrial and recreational [1]. The Strategy of Tourism Development in Kemerovo Region through to 2025 [2] also covers both industrial and recreational tourism. Winter tourism has recently received state support at the top level: in his annual state-of-the-nation address, President Putin included Sheregesh ski-resort into * Corresponding author: [email protected] © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.

The region faces a serious dilemma: it has to find its way between the two attraction Whatever the naming type, its results are of paramount importance as they reflect the points – industry and recreational tourism. While former mining towns all over the world first information on the goods or services the clients are exposed to. The naming results are choosing the path of post-industrial tourism, Kuzbass as an actively developing mining form the initial impression of the goods or services and contribute to the consumers’ region faces another problem: it has to develop its winter sport and recreation clusters while perception and eventually behavior. Taking into account all mentioned above, the naming going on with its rapid industrial expansion. Therefore, Kuzbass has a major task of result should contain semantically laden name, code the distinctive and individualizing creating a two-faced image, in which the faces contradict each other, for coal mining is features, be rememberable and identifiable compared to their competitors’ names. bound to have a negative effect on the environment and is at odds with recreational and Linguistically, the main ways to produce business or brand names are the following: sport tourism. abbreviations, shortenings and/or blends, associations, allusions / associations, rhyming, In Kuzbass, recreational tourism is represented by the abovementioned ski-resort transonimization (using proper names of real or imaginary people for business names), Sheregesh, which is located in the mountainous region of Gornaya Shoriya. Unfortunately, using foreign words, significant numbers, quotations / allusions / alliterations / an international Internet user might see this area as a place where mining industry destroys mythological elements. “Traditional” naming may exploit historical elements (old- the traditional way of life of the indigenous peoples and pollutes the nature [4]. fashioned and outdated words, spelling, grammar, etc.). Special methods of naming include The naming process is an important part of regional branding. They both often reflect the combination any of the indicated ones or exploiting the language play.

Meanwhile, the municipal authorities published a plan of a park dedicated to the 300th The material of the research contains linguistic elements (names of hotels, restaurants, anniversary of the region that unites industrial and ecological tourism as it involves the bars, souvenirs) retrieved from the sphere of hotel and catering business and tourist right bank of the Tom river with its authentic pine tree forest and historical mining souvenirs production.

  • Typological Features of Water Structures of the Railway in West Siberian Urban Territories
    MATEC Web of Conferences 193, 02021 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201819302021 ESCI 2018 Typological features of water structures of the Railway in West Siberian Urban territories Eugenia Ketova 1,* and Juliya Nizhegorodskaya1 1 Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, 630099 Novosibirsk, Russia Abstract. The railway construction was a new phenomenon for Russia and was not sufficiently studied from a technological point of view. Primarily, climatic and geographical factors were the main problems in the process of the Trans-Siberian Railway construction. Severe winter, permafrost, mountainous, abundant forest terrain created certain difficulties during the construction phase. Therefore, the builders were forced to violate the nature integrity and lay the railway lines along the most profitable routes. The railway line was naturally chosen, first it should pass through large settlements, and secondly, the important factor was the location of the station near the water source for the uninterrupted operation of locomotives. But together with technological progress, this system was evolved into a complex organism, which parts were modernized, and some of them turned into inefficient structures that are collapsing and polluting the environment. 1 Introduction One of the main ecological relationship types between a person and water is his water use through the implementation of individual or centralized water supply. Long-term development of water supply technology is allowed to improve methods of water intake and transportation, which led to some elements inefficiency in the water supply system. Each year, an unprotected object comes to decay, collapsing enclosing structures, facade elements, roofing, and foundation; damage not only environment, but also a danger to humans.

  • Is It Possible to Sustain Resource-Driven Region?
    Bulletin of the Tomsk Polytechnic University. Geo Аssets Engineering. 2020. V. 331. 11. 208–216 Kiriyanova L.G. Mining and tourism: is it possible to sustain resource-driven region? UDC 332 MINING AND TOURISM: IS IT POSSIBLE TO SUSTAIN RESOURCE-DRIVEN REGION? Liliya G. Kiriyanova, [email protected] National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 30, Lenin avenue, Tomsk, 634050, Russia. Dependence of regional economy on resource-driven path is one of methodological and regional policy challenges. It is crucial to under- stand how to stimulate new paths creation in locked-in resource-driven regions. This paper highlights that new path can appear not only in diversified regional economy by intercrossing innovations or by branching process to related technological spheres. It is shown that tech- nological and infrastructure connectivity is not the only possible way for old industries to create a new one. Mining and tourism are often debated as sectors with conflict interests which never can co-exist in one region. In this article we offer the model to explain stages, inter- play between main agents of changes, mechanisms and regional assets in the emergence of the tourism industry in mining region in Western Siberia, Russia. The key findings reveal synergy of mining and tourism in region sustainability. It is demonstrated that financial resources, human resources, networks, access to external resources, lobbing resources of the «coal» path can serve critical inputs to create a «tourism» one. Economic interests and resources of private actors mainstreamed and supported by strategic interests of the pub- lic policy may create a new path. Model of unrelated diversification provides long-term sustainable development of the region and can be used in other Russian regions.

  • Pleistocene Small Cave Bear (Ursus Rossicus) from the South Siberia, Russia Un Pequeño Oso De Las Cavernas (Ursus Rossicus) Del Sur De Siberia, Rusia
    Cadernos Lab. Xeolóxico de Laxe ISSN: 0213-4497 Coruña. 2001. Vol. 26, pp. 373-398 Pleistocene small cave bear (Ursus rossicus) from the South Siberia, Russia Un pequeño Oso de las Cavernas (Ursus rossicus) del Sur de Siberia, Rusia BARYSHNIKOV, G.1, FORONOVA, I.2 AB S T R A C T The skull, mandibles and cheek teeth of U. rossicus from four localities of the South Siberia are examined. This species inhabited the steppe regions in early Middle and Late Pleistocene. By odontological characters it is more close to U. r. rossicus from Krasnodar, than to U. rossicus uralensis from Kizel Cave in Ural. Discriminant analysis, based on measurements of lower cheek teeth of the cave bears from seven sites of Europe and Siberia, demonstrated that U. rossicus most resembles morphometrically U. savini. As a result of cladistic analysis employed 17 characters of skull, limb bones, and dentition, the phylogenetic tree has been obtained for 7 species of the genus Ur s u s . A four species of the cave bears are included in the subgenus Spelearctos: U. savini, U. rossicus, U. denin - geri and U. spelaeus.
