Abstract: The article considers the rural space transformations determined by the tourist and rec- reational development. Tourist facilities are usually located either on agricultural lands or in rural settlements, i.e. on the periphery of rural communities — hills or coastal areas. On the most attractive parts of the Lake Baikal coast, in rural communities and their neighborhood, there are new territorial structures developing — cottage settlements. At the same time, there is a reverse process — the increasing abandoned space inside settlements (abandoned houses and houses for sale due to the youth outflow to the city, growing labor migration). The article presents the results of the study of the changing geographical and cultural landscape of the village, of its increasing institutional and environmental challenges. On the agricultural land, there are new tourist and recreational facilities, which leads the multi-structural rural economy to a single recreation- al path and changes the perception of this trend by the rural population. Before, tourist services constituted only one survival strategy in the multi-structural system, while to- day the development of the entrepreneur stratum with recreational tasks does not correspond to the existing system of values. This is no longer an integral part of the rural economy; it is a commercial business competing with the rural population. Moreover, tourist sites on the agricultural land have huge institutional costs and support the corrupt system of land relations. The article is based on the field research conducted in rural communities of the Baikal region in 2005–2007 and 2011–2018.
