SOME ASPECTS OF FOREIGN TRADE RELATIONS OF THE AMUR-OKHOTSK REGION’S COUNTRIES MISHINA NATALIA V. Pαcific Institute of Geogrαrphy, Far Eαstern Brαnch, Russiα•nAcαdemy of Sciences Present-day transformation of natural environment of the Amur River basin is mostly determined by economic activity of human being. Intensity, the level and仕endsof land utilization in China and Russia arise企omnatural land conditions as well as from wide range of economic, social and political reasons. Some driving forces of land-use changes emerge and operate primary inside one coun仕ywhile other have international character like foreign 仕ade.It has been known that the rise of resources demand in one country may result in their more intensive utilization and have negative environmental consequences in other. From that point of view land-use situation, capacity and restrictions of resources use in the Amur-Okhotsk region are s仕onglyconnected with the international住adeamong China, Russia and Japan. Wood, marine and agricultural products are of the most importance in studying resources’and primary products' flows between principal countries of the Amur-Okhotsk region. Certainly the research of resources flows on the regional level of the Russian Far East and the Northeast part of China where the largest part of the Amur River basin is located are the most interesting and important. However for the analysis of the situation in separate regions it is necessaηto understand the main features and tendencies of the whole coun廿y.That is why principal stages of that study are as follows. 1. Comparative analysis of the main indices, geographical and commodity structure of foreign仕adeof China, Russia and Japan. 2. Studying of the mutual甘adeof those coun仕ies(d戸amics,commodity struc知reof import and export, principal partners). 3. Investigation of the participation of the Russian and Chinese adminis甘ativeunites located within the Amur River watershed in the resources and primary products trade among China, Russia and Japan. 4. Analysis of interaction between the resources仕adeand land-use changes on the regional level of the Amur River Basin. 百iebasic source of data for resources and primary products exchange is national foreign 仕adestatistics. The most part of data needed to caπy out the first and second stages of the investigation was gathered in Japan during the author’s work in Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (Kyoto) as an invited research fellow in April -October 2006. Some results of data analyzes for the period 1995・2004訂epresented in this paper. Comparison of few principal indicators of Russia, China and Japan (Table 1) represents significant con仕astof the Amur-Okhotsk region. Average population density of Japan almost in 2,5 times exceeds a similar parameter of China and more than in 40 times the Russian one. GDP and GDP per capita of Japan exceed the Russian indicators almost in 15 and 1 7 times respectively whereas the difference between indicators of Russia and China is not so large. 173
