Mountain territory profile
Boundaries, settlements, rights, accessibility, resources and constraints
Proposed result: Approved territory profile and a map of the initial conditions
Development of mountain regions
Residents, water, access to services, safety, local cooperation and education in a single programme for a settlement and its watershed.
The first step is a territory profile, residents’ participation and a small pilot project with three agreed modules.

A place to live
The mountain programme is part of Rus of the Future as initiative RB-09. The planning unit is the watershed and its associated settlements, services and access routes. Natural constraints, residents’ needs and ongoing maintenance are considered together.
The specific site has not yet been selected. The program proposes to first survey the territory, agree on tasks with local participants and determine a measurable result.
Ten modules of one program
These are the possible components of a pilot project. Modules are selected according to the task and local conditions.
Water and watershed
Monitoring water sources, water use and water quality
Proposed result: Baseline, sampling points and measurement protocols
Biocenoses and landscape
Observations, restoration areas and seasonal restrictions
Proposed result: Field protocol and map of sensitive areas
Safe settlement
Coordination with competent services, alerts and training
Proposed result: Tested procedures and drill results
Energy and communications
Audit of critical loads and communication availability
Proposed result: Load profile and tested backup
Access to services
Education, transport accessibility and assistance routes
Proposed result: Map of services and an agreed support pathway
Producer cooperation
Crafts, local products, accounting and logistics
Proposed result: Product catalog with origin and delivery conditions
Garden of Knowledge in the mountains
Training center, field school, mentoring
Proposed result: Teaching programme and assessment of acquired skills
Responsible tourism
Routes, heritage interpretation and visitor pressure management
Proposed result: Route profile and visiting rules
Digital workspace for the territory
Registers, sources, requests, indicators
Proposed result: Working prototype with access control
How to prepare the first pilot project
- Describe the area, residents' needs, watershed, available services and restrictions.
- Agree on the site, participants and three modules. The working concept identifies the territory profile, water and mountain school as priorities for the initial discussion.
- Complete the pilot project profile: responsible people, resources, baseline data, expected result and verification method.
- After agreement, carry out the work, compare the result with the initial conditions and decide whether to continue.
