In the field of nature use and nature protection this process, frontier territories can play policy of the neighboring state. The Amur a pioneer role. In case the aspiration to River Basin covers the territories of Russia, develop various means of cooperation, the Peoples Republic of China, Mongolia including economic and humanitarian, with and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea neighboring countries is mutual, there begins and occupies more than 2 million km2. an active interaction of adjacent frontier The most intensive development of the territories. Infrastructural links of frontier basin territory has started since the middle areas are formed and developed, specifically, of the 19th century. We compiled two transport transitions, communication lines maps of land use in the Amur River basin and power grids, and some links of market in the 1930–1940s and in the early 21st infrastructure. As a result, a trans-boundary century. Results showed that, negative territory is formed from closely and steadily dynamics is marked for forest lands, co-operating frontier territories.

KEY WORDS: land use and land cover changes, topographic maps, remote sensing, Complete watersheds of large rivers, lakes, the Amur River Basin sea basins are integral geosystems of the ggi213.inddi213.indd 4 227.06.20137.06.2013 114:24:024:24:02 highest rank. If the integral geosystem natural features, population, and economy simultaneously enters two or more countries, of Manchuria. A great volume of research it would be considered and assessed as a works that are both scientific and applied uniform geosystem at the top level. Within in nature has been produced by the Amur trans-boundary geosystems which are Expedition, a research body organized at the components of uniform river watersheds, beginning of the last century [Kryukov, 1911; all distinctions in the economic and nature Korotkii, 1912] to study opportunities for conservation policies of the neighboring economic development in Amuro-Ussuriiski countries are appreciably shown.
