Abstract
We provide an overview of the cultural heritage sites of federal and regional significance within the central ecological zone of the Baikal natural territory that refer to different historical epochs. A historical-cultural zoning of the central ecological zone is suggested for the first time on the basis of analyzing the landscape and historical-cultural aspects. We consider and analyze the territorial and quantitative distribution of the sites for the Southern-Baikal, Olkhon, Ust’-Selenga, Barguzin and Northern-Baikal historical-cultural zones that are characterized by particularly peculiar landscape features which can be taken into account when developing recommendations regarding the pattern and methods of recreational use. It is established that the cultural heritage sites serve as a major factor for tourism development on the Baikal natural territory. It is determined that a special attractiveness is provided by the cultural heritage sites of federal significance as well as by the sites with clearly pronounced ground-based structures. The study revealed the current importance of generating the database on cultural heritage sites in conditions of formation of contemporary ecologically oriented land use.
