MODERN APPROACHES TO ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTIN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH OSSETIA - ALANIA

Abstract

We consider the possible trends of environmental management in the Republic of North Ossetia - Alania. Based on a comprehensive analysis of problems, we identify new approaches, growth points and opportunities for creating a cluster system of mountain nature management. As part of such clusters, new areas of economic activity are included, such as unused resources (land, minerals, energy, and biological resources) and unused territories of the region if their development does not entail damage to natural landscapes. New approaches can contribute to improving economic and environmental security and preserving the natural resource potential under sustainable development of the region. The latter will mean the possibility of a wider use of mountain landscapes, the creation of cluster systems based on small-scale farms according to the principle of synergy, combining the production of traditional and new types of products, and will also allow the import substitution and reduction of the anthropogenic load on natural landscapes.
