Khasansky District (Russian: Хаса́нский райо́н) is an administrative[1] and municipal[4] district (raion), one of the twenty-two in Primorsky Krai, Russia. It is located in the southwest of the krai, wedged between the Tumen River and the Peter the Great Gulf, and shares a border with both China and North Korea. The area of the district is 4,130.0 square kilometers (1,594.6 sq mi).[5] Its administrative center is the urban locality (an urban-type settlement) of Slavyanka.[2] Population: 35,541 (2010 Census);[6] 37,459 (2002 Census);[9] 43,709 (1989 Census).[10] The population of Slavyanka accounts for 39.5% of the district's total population.[6]

Nature

A significant part of the area is protected by the laws of Russia. The nature reserves include Kedrovaya Pad, established to protect the rare animals of South Primorye such as Amur leopard, Siberian tiger, and Siberian Musk Deer; and the Far Eastern Marine Nature Reserve (1978), protecting the underwater world of the Peter the Great Gulf, including more than two thousand species of invertebrate animals (such as sea cucumber), approximately three hundred fish species, and larga seals.

Economy

Fishery and ship repair dominate the district's economy. Mariculture development, medical sanitary bases establishment, and high class tourism development are considered to have potential here. Agriculture is specialized in breeding of animals for furs.

There are deposits of precious metals and construction sand, and Gusevskoye Deposit of porcelain stone which is used by the Porcelain of Primorye Works in the district.
