Abstract

In the given article we analyze the notion of «a territory of traditional environmental management» (TTEM), consider social-economic and legal problems of the TTEM conception. The authors suggest certain approaches to solution of present problems of the concept of the territory of traditional environmental management, which are based on TTEM criteria, on stages of TTEM realization and on a complex substantiation of TTEM. Our approach to definition of borders and the character of usage should correspond to the following conditions or criteria of determination, which can be formulated the following way: The criterion of «necessary sufficiency» of the territory’s size, its natural resources reserves and etc. in order to provide a normal ecological balance of combined components of the feeding landscape on the given territory sector. The most important condition of the given criteria fulfillment is drawing TTEM borders along the natural geographic lines of the given territory (for example, rivers, streams, water-partings and so on.). The criterion of «functional legal capacity» of the system of traditional household keeping. The size of the territory must optimally correspond to the demands of the settled traditional household activity and must have a necessary margin of safety in case of its load being increased, for example, because of its population growth. Correspondingly, the territory in Siberian and the Far East taiga zones will be of one size, it will be of another size in forest tundra, and of a third size in tundra and mountain tundra, thereat increasing while going from south to north. The criterion of «rational independence» of management structures from the activity of the authorized state organ of power and economic organizations. Here, the optimal way out can be to form a coordinating organ (the board of TTEM management) out of representatives of the local administration, economic organizations and population (clans); this board will coordinate their activity concerning the territory usage and management together with the TTEM Administration, which head is appointed in coordination with the Authorized Representative of the native population.
