14 Work in small groups. Design a project that could help the economic development in Siberia. Use the following ideas or your own ones. Concentrate on ONE problem only.
• Enhancing / Modernising the transport system
• Setting up new enterprises
• Implementing new technologies to extract minerals
• Taking measures to stimulate the agricultural sector
• Investing in the infrastructure to attract a new labour force
• Collaborating with neigbouring countries in using and managing natural resources
• Initiating joint construction projects
• Your own idea
You may find some of the following ideas useful for your project:
- Constructing bridges and tunnels which could connect Sakhalin and Kamchatka with the mainland.
Nowadays oil, minerals, fish, and timber are transported to the mainland by ferries across the Tatar Strait; most consumer goods are delivered to the islands by sea too.
- Connecting Europe with Japan and Korea via Siberia and the Far East.
The transport corridor would increase the economic significance of the Trans-Siberian Railway dramatically; the distance between Sakhalin and the Japanese island Hokkaido is only 40 km, which would make constructing a bridge quite possible.
- Creating an extended transport network based on the Trans-Siberian Railwayjointly with China and Korea.
The latter countries have already got their railway networks, which could be integrated with the Russian railway, though a considerable technical unification would be necessary.
- Modernising the Siberian railway system with maglevs.
This system could make the goods exchange between Europe, Siberia and Pacific region very quick and fully computerized.
- Investing in the tourist business in Siberia in order to spur the economy ofthe region.
The unique wild life in Siberia could attract lots of tourists if the necessary infrastructure were created.
- Focusing on agriculture.
Agricultural reforms and innovations could make Siberia one of the more attractive regions for living.
