Border state

Property owners are waiting with dismay survey land Pribaykalskogo National Park
In Pribaikalsky National Park started to define the borders of its territory. What would it for those who live in protected areas and adjacent to it, it turns out correspondent "WP".
National park is located on the territory of three districts: Irkutsk, and Olhonskogo Slyudyanskogo. In protected areas are 49 settlements inhabited by thousands of people. However, clear boundaries - which begins and ends park land settlements - for 22 years has not been found.
-- When the park was created, the boundaries of settlements, caught in its territory, were conducted very schematic. Do not take into account the fact that settlements will be developed and built, that they need the parts for household needs - told Vladimir Grischen-ko, director Pribaykalskogo National Park. -- That's possible that if the external borders with more or less understandable, since domestic…
Because of this problem arose, and arise from the reserved area, and residents of towns. After all, 2 thousand hectares in Irkutsk and 110 thousand hectares in Olhonskom areas are actually in the double supervision. To get there in land use - under construction, whether by land, - should apply not only to local authorities, but also to the leadership of the park.
And how many conflicts arising from the disputed land that has local administration considered community property, and the PNP leadership - the property of the park! Most of the illegal buildings registered precisely in such territories. Many owners of land have documents signed by the municipal authorities, but not agreed with the leadership of the National Park.
Therefore it is necessary as soon as possible to deal with settlements and the borders of the park. According to Vladimir Grishchenko, all impinges on the financial possibilities. This year, the federal center finally allocated the necessary amount.
But in whose favor will be held this definition and whether the population will not remain in the reserved area losers?
-- What will happen to the territory, which is now jointly administered, after clarifying the boundaries, we still do not exactly know - recognized Deputy Mayor Anatoly Bragin Olhonskogo area. -- Otoydet whether it exclusively to the management of the National Park? If it will dispose of, how to deal with shareholder? At the time, all employees of collective farms and state farms were on 6 hectares of the property, and in public squares, which were handed over in due course the National Park, these units also have.
District authorities hoped that in any case not disputed land designation changes - as were agricultural land, so they remain. Then, local residents will be able to continue to graze cattle and hay braid.
With the tourist camp and other buildings on the disputed lands both owner also intend to deal peacefully without resorting to the courts and demolition.
-- We cut the border so that buildings do not fall into the earth Pribaykalskogo National Park - Anatoly Bragin explains. -- The park will remain its legitimate 110 thousand hectares, just a little bit boundaries slide. Now we initiate a regional law on specially protected territories recreational destination. If the Legislature will adopt it, we can translate these plots of land for recreational selhoznaznacheniya OOT, and they could be seized by tourism activities. All such tourism - this is a serious article in the local budget revenues, is hardly the only one not.
Around the same way intend to go and Pribaykalskom in the park - only there in the territory of the recreational values want to convert border settlement sites.
But the idyll can not be. Rosprirodnadzor Office of the Irkutsk region will see that the entire territory of the park has received special protected status. And consequently, to erect any buildings will not be there.

Opinion
Alexander Polyakov,
The Acting Head of Rosprirodnadzor management on the Irkutsk region:
-- The function of the National Park - to protect nature and to organize a civilized holidaymakers visiting the park, rather than negotiate the allocation of plots for recreation and cottages. Now all the hostels, which are built on the Small Sea - are illegal. In 1986, these territories were transferred to the National Park, but it may be building only on the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation. A transfer of land from one category to another should be carried out under the law, not the wish of individual officials. Most leases on land in the area
gosregistratsiyu not gone and have no legal effect. While almost all areas already built up. In addition, these buildings do not meet any sanitary or fire or environmental requirements and are dangerous not only for nature, but also for the tourists themselves. We will seek to bring regulations into line tourist, otherwise all legitimate ways will seek their demolition.
Nobody is going to keep people out of work Olhonskogo area, but stress that there is a requirement of law to erect buildings in specially protected areas. And they must be respected. One must understand that until the legitimate operations with the land, there will be no serious investor in Baikal, will not be normal revenue from municipalities and population. For legitimate traffic sites on the shores of Lake Baikal and the need to inventory and assessment of the border lands. And then - to develop a clear programme for the development of regional tourism, and its appeal to the government - to translate the necessary space from one category to another. Then here come law-abiding companies, which vlozhat serious in the development of tourism infrastructure and create a good tax base for local budget.
