Conditions and factors of development of regions of the Arctic zone of Yakutia

Abstract

In 2020, the republic was one of the first in the country to adopt a regional strategy for the development of the Arctic regions for the period up to 2035. The strategy is ambitious and covers all measures to solve infrastructural tasks and implement large-scale investment projects in the Arctic, but its main goal is to sustainably ensure an increase in the standard of living and quality of life of the residents of the Arctic regions. In recent years, the Arctic theme has received significant development in the works of the scientific community and in all spheres of activity, including economic. The relevance of the research topic is due to the insufficient study of the issues of socio-economic development of Arctic municipalities. In this regard, there was a need to study the conditions and factors of development of the districts of the Arctic zone of Yakutia. The subject of the study is the socio-economic development of the Arctic districts of Yakutia, divided into 5 groups. Each group of Arctic regions has its own logistics and points of growth. Of particular interest are the Anabarsky and Oleneksky districts, these are the districts of the Anabar group, where large-scale industrial development is planned. The analysis of the socio-economic situation of the Anabar group of districts has revealed the problems typical for all Arctic districts of Yakutia. The research material was based on official data of the Territorial Body of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), in particular, the database of municipal districts.
