Environmental Strategy of Social and Economic Development of a Region
The article describes the basic methodological and methodical aspects involved in the development of a strategy for environmental protection in a subfederal region such as Novosibirsk Oblast. A logical scheme shows how strategies for nature conservation are elaborated in this region. We propose a system of environmental measures determined by a need to alleviate or prevent potential environmental problems. We also forecast how air pollution in Novosibirsk Oblast from most common contaminants in stationary pollution sources will be spreading till 2025, taking into account environmental protection measures. The results of the study suggest making a more informed choice on main directions for nature conservation in the said region, which helps to avoid possible threats and make maximum use of available resources. Everything said above assists in defining environmental priorities and elaborating a conservation strategy as a part of a strategy for social and economic development of a region as a whole
