Regulatory and legal aspects of integrated nature management and proposals to improve the regulatory and legal framework

Abstract

The article deals with the issues of state regulation in the field of subsoil and nature management. The aim of the work is to analyze the current legislation in relation to complex nature management, as well as to reveal a new view of rational nature management and development of mineral resource base. The article offers recommendations for improving the system of state regulation of these relations. It is noted that the sphere of state management, associated with obtaining licenses for the integrated development of natural resources, is the most promising and correct direction in terms of ensuring the rational use of natural resource potential of the territory. This approach allows not only to protect, but also to effectively use various types of natural resources, and not to be limited only to separate objects of natural resources use. The use of such an approach will increase the economic efficiency of development of natural resources of the territory through minimizing investments in infrastructure development, thereby increasing the profitability of development objects. We propose recommendations for the improvement of normative-legal acts that allow to ensure the integrated development of natural resource potential within the “territory of integrated nature management”. To achieve the goal, we used the methods of systematic, logical, as well as analytical research, namely: the analysis of the normative legal base regulating the activities of participants of relations in the field of nature management at the federal level, the method of comparison, and the methods of deduction and induction.
