Methodology of building up a managerial system for a sanatorium and spa facility is proposed based on the integration of known general scientifically-grounded approaches, each concerned with a selected aspect of the system. Taken together, they give a complete picture of the mechanisms underlying functioning of the system and help to increase efficiency of its operation.

The objective of this study was to consider natural conditions and mechanisms of formation of mineral water sources in the Republic of Baskortostan. A map showing their location within the bounds of the Republic lying at the junction of Europe and Asia is presented. The distribution of mineral water springs is highly non-uniform and dictated by the landscape patterns, climatic, geologic and tectonic history of the territory, its climatic and hydrological conditions. It is concluded that most part of Bshkortostan has very promising prospects for the further development of its spa and resort complex.
