ABSTRACT: The results of long-term author’s scientific research in the field of geological
and geographical study and landscape mapping of large regional links,
such as Sikhote-Alinsky, Sakhalinsky, Kamchatsky, Anadyrsky, located in
the Pacific landscape belt of Russia, are considered (Starozhilov, 2013). The
studies were conducted at the medium scale (1:500,000) and were accompanied
by landscape mapping (Starozhilov, 2016). The proposed article
discusses the theory and practice of the overall results and the strategic
vision of applying the landscape approach with selected examples. The wide
range of possibilities of applying the landscape approach in studying the
interaction of nature and society is emphasized. The importance and the
indisputable need for the synthesis, analysis and assessment of natural
systems based on the mapping of landscape geosystems to assess the
environmental management of not only regional territories, but also of
Pacific Russia as a whole are noted.
