The main methods of assessing the ecological sustainability of territories are considered. An inventory is taken and the database of the indicators of ecological sustainability of the territory is generated. An assessment is made of the ecological sustainability of the territories of the Baikal region with due regard for the composition of land reserves and natural conditions. On the basis of analyzing the coefficients of ecological sustainability, the administrative districts of the Baikal region have been ranked according to the degree of balanceness of their territorial structure. Groups of administrative districts of the Baikal regions were identified: with the ecologically unbalanced territorial structure; with the unstably balanced territorial structure and with relatively balanced territorial structure. Using the integral indicator of sustainability, the map was compiled. The ecological sustainability of the territory is determined on the basis of comparing and analyzing the structure, functional characteristics of landscapes and types of land use by using layers of the digital maps of the “Ecological Atlas of the Baikal Region”.
