ZONING OF THE COASTAL TERRITORY OF PACIFIC RUSSIA BY COMBINATION OF MINERAL RESOURCES
For the coastal zone of Pacific Russia (CZPR), natural resource zoning was carried out on the basis of consideration of combinations of deposits of solid mineral resources. The method of zoning the territory, taking into account the definition of the main homogeneous groups of resources was used. CZPR is considered taking into account the administrative boundaries of 55 municipalities of six subjects of the Russian Federation. At the first stage of the study, the characteristic of mineral resources deposits of CZPR is given. Geographical and structural features of mineral deposits distribution are revealed. Special attention is paid to the analysis of territorial combinations of deposits. Among the homogeneous resource groups, the main ones are identified, which determine the specifics of district formation in the CZPR. These include: precious metals, building materials, fuel and energy and non-ferrous metals. Other resource groups, which can be considered secondary, account for only 4.4% of the number of CZPR deposits. At the zoning stage, four types of municipal districts according to the predominance of deposits of the main resource groups in their territory were identified. Each of these types also has a different number of subtypes (from 2 to 4). Geographically, four types of resource areas make up the four subzones of the CZPR on the combination of mineral resources. The complex structure of resource subzones is associated with a sufficiently large number of considered areas and the need to identify and take into account all the main features of the combination of mineral resources, their similarities and differences at the municipal level. The brief characteristic of mineral-resource combinations of mineral-resource subzones is given. The unique nature of their composition and geographical location is shown. The obtained data are of interest for integrated regional spatial nature management in the land-ocean contact zone of Pacific Russia.
