The regional determinants of developing the net of specially protected natural areas

The article examines the possibilities of using the networks approach in organizing the regional structure of specially protected natural areas (hereinafter referred to as SPNAs). The authors propose ways for improving traditional ways of identifying and evaluating the most important and valuable areas to ensure their protection. The modern state of objects with the assigned conservation status on the territory of Volgograd region have been analyzed in order to develop ways for maintaining their stable functioning. The authors pay special attention to creating the evaluation system, to clarifying the content, to analytical understanding of the processes in building vertical management, that ensures the unity of regulatory methods throughout the net space. They have also analyzed the role of cadastral registration, which is viewed as a system of ordered and regularly updated data, and which is necessary not only to ensure the target functionality of SPNAs, but also for land management, zoning, urban development, that is, in all cases connected with the use of natural resources and environmental impacts. The authors have developed a scheme of work organization in forming the net structure of SPNAs in the region and the structure of the evaluation matrix of the regional SPNAs.
