Specifics of Cultural Space of the Khabarovsk Territory Специфика культурного пространства Хабаровского края Л. В. Шереметьева Хабаровский государственный институт культуры Российская Федерация, Хабаровск Аннотация. В работе проанализирована культурная среда региона, понимаемая как часть инфраструктуры культуры в ее региональном измерении. Исследованы различные направления деятельности учреждений культуры, функционирующих на территории края. В качестве методологической модели для проведения культурологической экспертизы использована предложенная Л. В. Никифоровой систематизация категорий «мест» культурного пространства. Целью статьи является выполнение подготовительного этапа культурологической экспертизы, цель которого, в свою очередь, анализ сети учреждений культуры в целом и выявление потенциальных арт- пространств для дальнейшего их детального изучения. Представлен подробный анализ сети учреждений культуры Хабаровска, а также обзор категорий учреждений культуры административных центров всех районов Хабаровского края (города: Хабаровск, Комсомольск- на- Амуре, Амурск, Советская Гавань, Николаевск- на- Амуре, Вяземский, Бикин; поселки: Ванино, Охотск, Переяславка, Солнечный, Чегдомын; села: Аян, Троицкое, Богородское, имени Полины Осипенко, Чумикан). Источниковой базой исследования выступали данные, полученные в результате анализа сайтов учреждений культуры, социальных сетей, а также личных опросов респондентов. Учреждения культуры, представляющие разные формы культурной деятельности, были условно разделены на десять групп: музейные организации; галереи / выставочные пространства; зоопарки; театры / театральные студии; библиотеки / книжные клубы; парки; концертные площадки; художественные студии; кинотеатры / киноклубы; образовательные площадки. Сделан вывод о различной степени разнообразия видов деятельности учреждений культуры в различных населенных пунктах. Также выявлены наиболее и наименее распространенные категории. Проведенное исследование позволяет определить учреждения, чья деятельность может быть оценена с точки зрения принадлежности к формату арт- пространства. Ключевые слова: культура, социум, регион, культурное пространство, арт- пространство, Хабаровск, Хабаровский край, исследовательская деятельность, культурологическая экспертиза, учреждения культуры.

  • The Potential for Integration of the Transport Complex of the East of Russia Into the International Market of Transport Services
    BRANCH-WISE ECONOMY DOI: 10.15838/esc.2019.6.66.8 UDC 332.1+339.924, LBC 65.049(2) © Bardal’ A.B. The Potential for Integration of the Transport Complex of the East of Russia into the International Market of Transport Services Anna B. Bardal’ Economic Research Institute, Far Eastern Branch of RAS Khabarovsk, Russian Federation, 153,Tikhookeanskaya Street, 680042 E-mail: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-9944-4714; ResearcherID: V-7615-2017 Abstract. The eastern regions of Russia are the convenient zone in which Russia cooperates with the actively developing Asian region. The key states of North-East Asia such as China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea are the largest participants in world trade at the present stage. The servicing of large- scale commodity flows with the European Union and the U.S. is provided by the market of transport services, by means of which the most effective schemes of delivery are built. Under these conditions, the transport system of the East of Russia has objective prerequisites for integration into the international transport system. The goal of our present study is to assess the potential of integration of the transport system of the Far East in the market of transport services in North-East Asia. At the same time, we assess integration opportunities with the help of dividing the territory of the East of Russia into districts based on the results of cluster analysis. Considering the achievement of the research goal, this approach is a new one. The need for division is due to the fact that the Far East is quite a large region, extremely heterogeneous in its internal composition, economic-geographical and socio-economic characteristics.

(“Fortress”) is pleased to announce initial assay results from the phase 1 drilling program at its 74-square kilometre Malmyzh Project in eastern Russia. The phase 1 drill program, which is planned to include 5,200 metres of drilling in 26 holes, will test ten large geophysical and geochemical targets. The first four diamond drill holes totalling 1,311 metres, reported herein, were drilled to test the Flats target, where an earlier drill hole by Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation ("FMEC") intersected 195.6 metres grading 0.39% copper and 0.29 gram/tonne (g/t) gold (see Press Release dated September 29, 2009). All four drill holes encountered significant mineralization from the collar to the bottom of the hole. Hole AMM-002 intersected 474.7 metres grading 0.26% copper and 0.29 g/t gold. The first five holes into the Flats target are wide spaced and have tested an area about 400 metres by 200 metres (please see figure 3). Mineralization is open in all directions and at depth.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps.

  • The Threatened and Near-Threatened Birds of Northern Ussuriland, South-East Russia, and the Role of the Bikin River Basin in Their Conservation KONSTANTIN E
    Bird Conservation International (1998) 8:141-171. © BirdLife International 1998 The threatened and near-threatened birds of northern Ussuriland, south-east Russia, and the role of the Bikin River basin in their conservation KONSTANTIN E. MIKHAILOV and YURY B. SHIBNEV Summary Fieldwork on the distribution, habitat preferences and status of birds was conducted in the Bikin River basin, northern Ussuriland, south-east Russia, during May-July 1992,1993, 1995,1996 and 1997. The results of this survey combined with data collected during 1960- 1990, show the area to be of high conservation priority and one of the most important for the conservation of Blakiston's Fish Owl Ketupa blakistoni, Chinese Merganser Mergus squamatus, Mandarin Duck Aix galericulata and Hooded Crane Grus monacha. This paper reports on all of the 13 threatened and near-threatened breeding species of northern Ussuriland, with special emphasis on their occurrence and status in the Bikin area. Three more species, included in the Red Data Book of Russia, are also briefly discussed. Maps show the distribution of the breeding sites of the species discussed.
