Landscape planning provides for the preservation and development of natural and sociocultural potentials of the territory. Its integrative feature is most important. Landscape planning organizes and coordinates the spatial development of society. Cultural landscape, being a scientific category, combines material and symbolic spaces, life strategies, and resources of the territory. In Russia, the cultural landscape approach, which most fully reflects the participativeness principle, was first applied in landscape planning of the Irkutsk Region territories where the Evenk community lives. Land management led by the Committee of the North in the 1920-1930s became its precursor. Indigenous peoples and Russian old residents in Siberia has a close material and spiritual connection with the territory, which contributes to the preservation of ethnic identity and historical memory. Modern studies of these issues in anthropology and landscape planning have poor contact with each other. The participatory landscape planning based on the cultural landscape approach has some overlapping with the studies in fields of cultural anthropology, ethnoecology and ethnic expertise. It ensures recognition of formal and informal self-governance structures of the indigenous peoples in Siberia and expands tools and practices of landscape planning through integration of cultural and anthropological as well as humanitarian and geographical research.
