The article highlights the factors and conditions for the formation of a regime of sustainable development of a territory with environmental management according to the criterion of completeness of the composition and functioning of geographical system ‘nature-economy-population’ of the territory. Completeness is a pass-through indicator of the optimality of systems of various kinds at the minimum and maximum levels of their existence and changes in the process of nature conservation, economic growth and improvement of society. The degree of completeness is a variant of the evaluation function that distinguishes geosystems of different locations and variable states by a set of interchangeable influencing factors of natural, economic and social origin and features of local conditions of the geographical environment. All the observed processes reflect the goal of striving for perfection in the form of completeness and safety of its systemic expression, for the ideal of existence, a priority development goal, only with the achievement and overcoming of which sustainable development is possible. The trends of completeness are distinguished as the upper and lower envelope lines (surfaces) of the diversity of the connection of data from field and statistical observations. Controlling additive influences shift the landscape norm of completeness of different locations. It is necessary to take into account special restrictions on the degree of incompleteness and overflow of system qualities. Models and methods of analysis are demonstrated by the example of restoration of forest plantations and the implementation of the investment process in the regions of Russia.
