The article presents an analysis of the geospatial and geocultural specifics of the territory's development. Models for the development of the geospatial and geocultural image of the territory are identified. An analysis of the active periods of development of the presented models, implemented for the purpose of developing the territory (mental, natural, infrastructural, geopolitical), is presented. The dynamics of activity of these models from 1918 to the present time is considered. Based on the conducted research, strategies for geospatial and geocultural perception of the territory among the population of the Siberian Federal District (n=1200) were formed. External negative factors that hinder territorial development are identified, as well as the role of personality and volitional efforts, people with local resources (political, economic, informational, human). Positive and negative characteristics of the perception of the Siberian Federal District are highlighted. The need to change the conditions and mechanisms of geospatial and geocultural development of the Siberian Federal District is identified. Conclusions are drawn about the strategic and tactical goals of the territory's development, and unique features of the symbolic context of the development of the territory of the Siberian Federal District are highlighted.
