INTRODUCTION This report documents the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of two Global Environment Fund grants aimed at improving nutrient removal and reducing the amount of methane emitted from the Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) in Rostov City. The long- term objective of the improvements is to reduce pollution loads (especially the nutrients causing eutrophication) to the River Don, Sea of Azov and Black Sea, and to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The work was commissioned by the British Government (Department for International Development, DFID) as part of a collaborative approach to the delivery of technical and financial assistance to the region.

MITROFANOVA, I.A. SHKARUPA, E.A. BATMANOVA, V.V. Abstract The article explores the issues of heterogeneity of economic development of subjects (regions) of the southern Federal district, analyzes the impact of the economic activity on main indicators of pollution, which largely determine the quality of the natural environment. Authors show an assessment of air quality, recorded discharges of entities by contaminated wastewater, examines trends in waste production and consumption in the subjects of the Southern Federal district, most of which belong to the type of old industrial regions. The authors believe that the sustainable development of the mixed economy of Southern Russia needs measures of systemic nature, aimed at the rational use of resources in the process of managing and preserving the environment that requires correction of the district and regional strategies and programs for socio-economic development. That is now the priority of strategic territorial management, which involves the modernization of the economic complex of the Southern Federal district, taking into account the environmental imperative. It is becoming increasingly evident the necessity of a transformation of Federal districts into territorial centers for economic development, characterized by the economic space of a higher quality.

  • Socio-Economic Conditions for Formation of an Ecological and Recreational Cluster in the Rostov Region and Its Development Potential

The article is concerned with basic concepts related to development of an ecological-excursion cluster in the Rostov region. The socio-economic conditions of its formation are described. The research base on which the research related to the study of touristic clusters is found is reviewed. It also gives grounds for the possibility of functioning of the ecological and recreational cluster, defines its functions and importance for the development of inbound and domestic tourism, the economy and the social sphere of the region. The zoning of the territory of the Rostov region according to the prevailing types of ecological and recreational clusters is proposed and the specifics of their activities and the development of types of tourism are indicated. 1 Introduction An effective tool for development of socio-economic systems in the sphere of tourism is implementation of a cluster approach that provides harmonization of private and public interests, diversification of risks and improvement of regional potential use. The clustering process is coherent giving a number of management decisions related to the specifics of the industry, participants, location, capacity, and a number of other indicators. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an algorithm to cluster the regional territory and manage development of economic zones on the basis of a systematic approach and with consideration of all factors, which have an effect on this process.

  • Russian Place-Names of 'Hidden' Or 'Indirect' Scottish Origin
    Russian place-names of ‘hidden’ or ‘indirect’ Scottish origin (the case of Hamilton – Khomutov) Alexander Pavlenko and Galina Pavlenko In Russia there are numerous toponyms going back to personal or place names of western European origins. This phenomenon resulted from several waves of massive immigration from the West, first to Muscovite Rus’ and later, in greater numbers, to the Russian Empire. Among the immigrants, most of whom originated from Germany, there was quite a number of Scotsmen – active participants in all the major historical events in both Western and Eastern Europe. The first Scotsmen in Russia, called Shkotskie Nemtsy (literally ‘Scottish Germans’) by locals, belonged to the military class and came to this country either as mercenaries or prisoners of war in the late sixteenth century in the reign of Ivan the Terrible. Most of them were captured during the Livonian War and continued their military service in the Russian troops (Anderson 1990: 37). In the seventeenth century with the accession of the Romanovs dynasty to the throne, Scotsmen started to arrive in Russia in ever increasing numbers. Some of those who abandoned their motherland, driven by circumstances managed to inscribe their names in Russian history as prominent soldiers, engineers, doctors, architects, etc. Scottish mercenaries and adventurers considered the remote Russian lands to be a place where they could build their career and hopefully make a fortune. Of course, as is well known, Russia was only one of a multitude of destinations which Scotsmen sought to reach. The late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries saw a more abundant influx of Scots due to the Petrine reforms and a high demand for foreign professionals in all fields (Dukes 1987: 9–23; Cross 1987: 24–46).
