The Russian Federation has a unique landscape diversity that requires detailed study, rational use and protection. The solution of these problems is impossible both without research, and without educating and involving general public into discussions and decision-making at communal, municipal and regional levels. Unfortunately, there is no unanimity on topical issues of conservation and landscape management. All this hampers the adoption of well-balanced management decisions for the preservation, development and improvement of landscapes both at the level of government structures and at the municipal level. Given this the goal of the article is to attempt at providing a comprehensive analysis of the issue related not only to the solution of problems of landscape protection and rational nature management, but also to possible ways of organizing international landscape centers for conservation of natural, natural historical and cultural landscapes both at the national and at the regional level. The article focuses on the Kaliningrad region as an example which justifies a modular approach to solving such issues, on new technological grounds (MOOC, LMS, EdTech, GreenField). The basic principles of the work of international landscape centers are formulated: scientific, interdisciplinary, mass, open, communicative, institutional, participatory, resourceful. |
