ABSTRACT. The article presents a study of the Sargat culture sites utilizing methods of mapping and analysing the natural, geographical, geomorphological, and soil conditions of the locations of known complexes, based on a detailed history of research into the Sargat culture in the Omsk region The first documented excavations of these archaeological sites were conducted as early as the late 19th and early 20th centuries by staff of the museum at the West Siberian Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and the State West Siberian Regional Museum. In the 1960s and 1970s, the interests of the expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the USSR Academy of Sciences, led by V.A. Mogilnikov, the Ural Archaeological Expedition (UAE), led by V.F. Gening, and the expedition of Tomsk State University, led by V.I. Matyushchenko, converged in the Omsk region. In the 1970s and 1980s, archaeologists from Omsk State University conducted large-scale investigations, yielding materials characterizing the elite of the Sargat society from the Sidorovsky-I and Isakovsky-I burial grounds. From the 1990s to the early 2010s, much of the research was related to rescue and contract work by Omsk archaeologists. Since 2021, a joint expedition comprising the Institute of History and Archaeology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ural Federal University and Omsk State Pedagogical University, led by S.V. Sharapova and M.A. Grachev, has been conducting interdisciplinary research into the Sargat culture in the Omsk-Irtysh region. Determining the location of the studied sites using the mapping method allows drawing conclusions about the various geomorphological and soil conditions in which the Sargat complexes are situated. The article is accompanied by two maps. The first one illustrates the geographical distribution of the sites studied, whilst the second shows their location on an elevation map, highlighting the diversity of the landscapes of the Omsk Irtysh region.

ABSTRACT. The study considers the historical and geographical prerequisites for the development of industrial tourism in the Gornozavodsk conurbation of Perm Krai. Perm Krai is an old industrial region with a rich industrial heritage. The territory of the region’s Gornozavodsk conurbation includes six municipalities, it has a polycentric structure, and a rich industrial history — ranging from coal mining to the chemical industry. However, the municipalities included in this conurbation are currently facing difficulties in their socio-economic development. Industrial tourism could become one of the promising avenues for revitalizing and diversifying the economy of the conurbation. An important research task in this context is to analyze the historical and geographical prerequisites for the development of industrial tourism in the Gornozavodsk conurbation. This analysis was carried out using the integral-point scoring method. The article contains materials on the research topic: the history of the formation and development of industry in the region, modern socio-economic indicators and problems of development of municipalities. A register of industrial tourism sites within the conurbation was also compiled. The study identified the territorial structure of the conurbation’s resource potential, which could be channeled towards the development of industrial tourism. Taking account of territorial variations in potential is essential for improving the effectiveness of the development and management of industrial tourism. The findings of the study may be of use to the executive authorities of the municipalities within the conurbation in refining their tourism policy.

ABSTRACT. The article aims to systematize and refine knowledge about the events that influenced the emergence, formation, and development of the southern part of the city of Ekaterinburg – the Parkovy microdistrict. It analyzes the factors and phenomena that shaped this area as one of the major centers of the city’s factory (manufacturing) center at different periods in its history, from the mid-18th to the late 20th century. The study, based on cartographic and written sources, examines the theoretical and practical aspects of organizing the industrial landscape using the example of one specific microdistrict. It analyzes the role and significance of the development of the real manufacturing sector in the city’s modernization. The text presents nine key development processes in the area, seven of which are directly related to or significantly influenced by the industrial sector. The industrial enterprises located within the boundaries of the study area did not merely shape the territory in question; they, in essence, rebuilt it, constructing residential buildings, communal facilities and social institutions for their employees. The private initiatives of independent merchants and industrialists, who in the early stages of the area’s development built their small factories and manufactories along the banks of the Iset River, were fairly quickly joined by the city administration, which was compelled to create and organize comfortable conditions for the expanding industrial complex. With the advent of Soviet rule, the development of the area came entirely under state control. Key factors here were the nationalization of existing factories, the creation of new, large state-owned enterprises, and the evacuation of existing production facilities to the Urals. The emergence of so-called “points of attraction” for the rapidly growing urban population (squares, markets, leisure parks) is also highlighted in the article as significant stages in the area’s development. This is the first study of this concerning the microdistrict.
