Social Assessment of Specially Protected Natural Areas Galina Viktorovna MIKHAILOVA Ph.D. in Pedagogy Institute for Environmental Issues of the North, Ural Branch of RAS 23, Northern Dvina Embankment, Arkhangelsk, 163000, Russian Federation, [email protected] Valerii Antonovich EFIMOV Institute for Environmental Issues of the North, Ural Branch of RAS 23, Northern Dvina Embankment, Arkhangelsk, 163000, Russian Federation, [email protected] Abstract. Approaches to the consideration of functions of specially protected natural areas (SPNA) in the development of society seek to determine the size of the territory withdrawn from agricultural use for the purposes of nature conservation; these approaches also aim to evaluate money revenue gained from these territories. However, the influence of SPNA on public life is not reduced to the “monetization” of the territory. People who live near conservation areas and experience the advantages (disadvantages) of such neighbourhood should be the focus of the study of the social role of protected areas. The social role of SPNA in the life of local communities in the Arkhangelsk Oblast and the Karelia Republic was identified with the help of public opinion survey. In total 575 people participated in the survey. The research was carried out in the settlements located within the boundaries of Kenozersky and Vodlozersky national parks, and near Shilovsky Nature Reserve. When measuring the impact of conservation areas on the society of the neighbouring settlements, the authors define the axiological, emotional-and-psychological, activity- and-regulatory, economic, forecasting and integrated components. The research findings show that the residents acknowledge the conservation value of protected areas; many of the inhabitants of adjacent territories do not experience inconveniences in connection with the special environmental regime, they earn income connected to the operation of SPNA; there is a positive attitude towards the activity of SPNA.

Specially protected natural areas contribute to the socio-cultural and spiritual development of the local community to a greater extent in comparison with its socio-economic development. The presence of SPNA on the territory of the municipality opens up opportunities for new types of economic activities, provides employment in the field of recreation and tourism. Key words: specially protected natural areas, social function of nature conservation areas, sociological surveys, environmental management, remote rural settlements.

TSVETKOV, Cand. Sci. (Econ.), associate professor E-mail: [email protected] Department of Management, Higher School of Economics, Management and Law, Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Arkhangelsk, Russia Abstract. The article, devoted to the analysis of transport and geographical locations, describes possible strategies for the development of tourism in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The main goal of the research was the development of logistic schemes of the transportation of tourists from the places of formation of tourist flows to the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The methodological basis of the article is to determine the economic dis- tances between potential tourist distribution centers and their places of interest in the area. Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Arkhangelsk were considered as the main towns of departure. Kargopol, Solvychegodsk, Kholmogory and Lomonosovo, Solovki, Kenozersky National Park, and Pinega caves are regarded as the main sites of tourist interest in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. It was determined that Kargopol is the most acces- sible for tourists, and Kenozersky National Park is the most recognizable by tourists but the least accessible. The object of world cultural heritage, the Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour on Solovki is the most accessible for tourists from the territory of Karelia. It is recommended to optimize the schedule and to synchronize the work of transport for tourists to improve the transport accessibility of recreational facili- ties in the area.

The objective of Barents cooperation is to strengthen peace, stability and sustainable development by improving opportunities for cooperation across the region’s borders. The chairmanship rotates every second year between Norway, Finland, Russia and Sweden. The aim of the Working Group on Barents Forest Sector (WGBFS) is to promote sustainable management and utilization of forest resources and ecosystem services in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests as well as the Paris Climate Agreement. The forest sector is an important part of the economic, social and environmental development in the Barents region and the forest plays a central role in the transition to a bio-based circular society. Priorities for the Norwegian chairmanship of the Working Group on Barents Forest Sector are to focus on the forest-based bioeconomy and the transition to a low-carbon society. Norway has given priority to knowledge creation by involving research organizations present in the region and strive to strengthen regional cooperation in the Barents region. Searching for new platforms for regional cooperation is a part of this effort. The pilot study was initiated in order to analyze the possibilities to use the Barents Cooperation as a potential platform to establish collaboration between Biosphere Reserve areas within the Barents region.

  • Characteristics of the Bat (Chiroptera) Population in Protected Areas in the Northern and Middle Taiga Subzones of European Russia
    Nature Conservation Research. Заповедная наука 2021. 6(Suppl.1): 17–31 https://dx.doi.org/10.24189/ncr.2021.002 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BAT (CHIROPTERA) POPULATION IN PROTECTED AREAS IN THE NORTHERN AND MIDDLE TAIGA SUBZONES OF EUROPEAN RUSSIA Vladimir V. Belkin , Fyodor V. Fyodorov* , Viktor A. Ilyukha , Alina E. Yakimova Institute of Biology of Karelian Research Centre of RAS, Russia *e-mail: [email protected] Received: 16.04.2020. Revised: 12.10.2020. Accepted: 22.10.2020. The overall bat (Chiroptera) fauna of Protected Areas in the forest zone of European Russia has not yet been assessed, although papers on some Protected Areas are being published quite regularly. Along its north-to-south gradient, this extensive area spans a great variety of habitats suitable for bat populations with vastly diverse compositions. In our review of bat species, we focused on eight Protected Areas in the northern and middle taiga, as well as on a comparative summary of the faunal data for the forest zone of European Russia in general. Surveys using a bat detector and by mist-netting resulted in identification of the species composition, relative abundance, relative density and spatial distribution of bats in Protected Areas. The following nine bat species were recorded: Myotis nattereri, M. mystacinus, M. brandtii, M. daubentonii, M. dasycneme, Plecotus auritus, Nyctalus noctula, Eptesicus nilssonii, Vespertilio murinus. We regularly recorded ultrasonic signals from Plecotus auritus, Nyctalus noctula and Vespertilio murinus up to 66° N, which is much farther north that the species ranges indicated on IUCN maps. This result came as a surprise, considering there had been no specialised censuses in the Republic of Karelia or the Arkhangelsk region for decades.

  • New Forms and Possibilities for Promotion of Russian National Parks in the Internet Environment
    Middle-East Journal of Scientific Research 16 (9): 1238-1244, 2013 ISSN 1990-9233 © IDOSI Publications, 2013 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.mejsr.2013.16.09.12011 New Forms and Possibilities for Promotion of Russian National Parks in the Internet Environment Elena A. Dzhandzhugazova Russion State University of Tourism and Service, Pushkin Area, Moscow Region, Russia Abstract: The paper considers specific features of organization of tourist activity in national parks, which are the most important category of specially protected natural areas. Basic tasks of national parks in the system of ecological education of the population and the development of programs of ecological tourism are discussed. The author emphasizes the need in competent and efficient tourist offer of the Russian national parks in the Internet environment and discusses the basic approaches to creating the contemporary tourism-related content which can attract attention of consumers of tourist services to natural tourist resources in Russia. On the basis of careful analysis of the structure and content of websites of Russian national parks, websites are suggested to be grouped in four websites categories, depending on the completeness and quality of the information provided. The results of analysis, carried out by the author, allowed him to conclude that only a quarter (23%) of websites of national parks contain information necessary for tourists and a part of national parks (7%) have either very poor tourist content, or no own informational web resource at all. Also, based on analysis of appeal of websites of national parks, the author can identify the key factors, either increasing or decreasing the website appeal, which allows him to suggest basic directions of optimization and development of web recourses for Russian national parks.
