Nature Management Conflicts in the Kaliningrad Region

Abstract

To meet the Kaliningrad region’s sustainable development challenges it is necessary to mitigate the existing nature management conflicts locally. To identify them, a landscape planning methodology very common in Germany was used. The conducted international research made it possible to identify very acute, moderately acute conflicts and some areas representing weak conflicts or no conflicts. The examples of various types of territories are given. Recommendations to mitigate the existing nature management conflicts and prevent any new ones in the region are given.
