The paper studies the relationship in the field of forest management and protection of forest lands. It determines the ways to improve the concepts of forest, forest area, and rational use of forest lands. The experience of the Soviet period is studied. The distribution of forests on the territory of Russia and composition of the forest fund are considered. The authors give the recommendations aimed to improve forest management and protection of forest lands.

In Russia an investment construction project is considered a time-limited investment enterprise, which is aimed at the creation of a new, unique real estate property. The availability and use of such a property is necessary to achieve investment objectives. However, it is necessary to take into account all the necessary research at the stage of business planning. It is necessary to carry out environmental research during the construction of real estate in order to maintain safety and improve the comfort of people's lives, as well as to use rationally natural resources of our planet. At the business planning stage, such aspects as pollution of the air basin, soil and water bodies, reduction of biological diversity, use and disposal of hazardous and toxic waste, salinization and bogging of lands and the impact of noise exposure from the sources of the facility on the state of the air environment are considered.

The article discusses the possibility of using integrated modeling to determine the rational use of agricultural land. Models for agricultural land, agricultural production buildings and settlements were developed. The principles of social and economic assessment of the use of territories by the level of their capitalization were described. The models reflect the state of territories and their individual components when making decisions on investment to ensure sustainable development of the territory. Scientific and technological progress and innovations are changing the ratio in the resource provision of the constituent territories, creating an imbalance in the resources of its elements, which develops the system. Violation of the \"reference\" distribution of resources of the model's layers causes instability, excessive or insufficient resources determining the control subject of the area. The materials make it possible to supplement the theoretical provisions on land management, including the introduction of an indicator of socio-economic development of the territory; capitalization ratios of the individual components of the territory, reflecting the essence of the territory as a land resource with improvements, taking into account the share of each participant in the reconstruction of the territory, which integrates the harmonious state of the territory as a spatial-territorial system.

The article presents the most important purpose of the formation of transport clusters in Russian economy. The authors touch upon the issue of the increase in the market level of logistics infrastructure and provision of land management of high quality using environmentally oriented sustainable development strategy. The analysis of strategic development prospects by industry sector of key shippers is presented.

The coal mining industry of Russia is characterized. Today, this industry is one of the most polluting types of human activity. The article provides a comprehensive assessment of the coal industry current impact on the environment, namely on the atmospheric air, the lithosphere, natural reservoirs, etc. The authors have analyzed the reasons and consequences of this industry negative impact on nature and man. The main sources of technogenic load on the environment during the coal deposits development are identified. Such sources include rock dumps, mine water, main ventilation fans, degassing installations, etc. The influence of rock dumps on the natural environment is investigated. The negative impact of the discharge of insufficiently treated mine water on the state of not only natural reservoirs, but also all components of the environment is shown. The composition of mine waters has been studied, which is important when choosing the technology for their treatment. Measures and methods to improve the environmental situation in the places of coal deposits development are considered. In particular, it is proposed to purify mine waters for the purpose of their use for technological, household, agricultural and other needs. The harmful and dangerous factors of the methane presence in the coal deposits development are shown. It is proposed to capture methane for further use, which will reduce its entry into the atmospheric air and at the same time make an economic profit. The principles of ensuring environmental safety in the coal mining industry are considered. Methods of reducing the anthropogenic load using the latest technologies are proposed. The conducted research is relevant and important for the further development of the coal mining industry in the framework of conservation and protection of the natural environment.

The article examines the issue of soil ecological zoning of territories. GIS technologies used for the soil-ecological zoning are described. A new type of soil-ecological zoning of the Middle Volga region by means of GIS technologies is presented. It is in compliance with the current state of the soil cover, erosion processes and the agricultural land structure in the region.
