Geological landscape prerequisites for urban development in Southern Siberia

Purpose: Settlements in Southern Siberia, identification of nodal points urban development with respect to geological landscape conditions; the relationship between structure and settlement system location town-forming centers; ways transformation. Methodology: River basin planning, which offers zoning territory accordance river basins as well landscape-ecological approach spatial transformations areas. The method is based on ecological, economic, transport communication significance different territories affecting adjacent vast territories. Research findings: Geological conditions, determine natural planning are significant for Siberia. Urban transformation one these nodes affects entire territory. potential South Siberia determined algorithm proposed
