Housing stock comfort level in the arctic regions of the Russian Federation

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.126.2026.102-114

The article provides analysis of the housing stock comfort level in dwelling areas of the Arctic zone which consists of seven indicators. The authors highlight the dynamics of change in this comfort level as an additive qualitative indicator along with its seven constituents that define housing stock improvement. Furthermore, the level of comfort depends on the population’s access to broadband internet, as the population density is low and the distances between settlements are large. In order to improve the living comfort of the population in the existing housing stock, the positions of the regions are determined in the years marking the end of the national project development periods.

Proportionality of the development of mining and processing industries in the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

DOI: 10.33917/mic-5.124.2025.41-53

The article presents the calculated shares of the key economic activity indicators for the territories–mineral extraction and the volumes of mineral processing industries combined–and the individual enterprises’ share of extraction and processing volumes in the regions, in macroregions (federal districts), and in the Russian Federation as a whole. The authors also determined the shares of each of these economic activities in the gross regional product of individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation, macroregions, and the Russian Federation as a whole. These calculations allowed for a comparative analysis of the dynamics of these shares since 2010, determining the current proportions of these indicators, and identifying the degree of proportionality between the development of mineral extraction volumes and the volumes of mineral processing industries in the study territories.

Assessment of the level of unsuitability of housing stock in the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

DOI: 10.33917/mic-4.123.2025.95-105

The article provides a comparative analysis of the degree of unsuitability and suitability of the housing stock both in the Russian Federation and in the territories of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. The methodology for ranking the position of regions according to several indicators is used, which include the specific weights of dilapidated housing stock, emergency housing stock in the total area of ​​the entire housing stock, indices of changes in the specific weight of emergency housing stock. A methodology for determining the level of suitability of the housing stock based on determining the levels of unsuitability is proposed.

Arctic zone territories development and their environmental safety

DOI: 10.33917/mic-3.110.2023.59-71

The article is devoted to creating new and improving existing infrastructure in the territories of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, ensuring the year-round operation of the Northern Sea Route as a promising international main waterway. The authors analyze the liquefied natural gas production plants, ports, and railways under construction on the coast of the seas of the Arctic Ocean as these objects create opportunities for increasing the volume of maritime transport and icebreakers, as well as the speed of goods delivery to the countries of the Southeast Asia and the Pacific basin. In addition, the facilities optimizing energy supply are studied as key impacts that improve the conditions and quality of life of the population in this area. The authors analyze the fundamental documents for the development of the Arctic zone, approved by the President and the Government of the Russian Federation. The article highlights dynamics of the population, average per capita cash income from 2005 to 2021 as the main factor contributing to the population stability and the main indicators from the annual state statistical reporting, that characterize the changes in the level of atmosphere and surface water pollution and determine the level of environmental safety of the Arctic zone territories of the Russian Federation.

The state and possibilities of social development of the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

DOI: 10.33917/mic-3.104.2022.63-74

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the positions of the regions of the Arctic Zone according to the state of the social (demographic) environment. Such an analysis is carried out in order to identify the previously achieved quantitative characteristics of social (demographic) processes and ranking the positions of regions in the base year of the start of the implementation of the national project “Demography” and the corresponding five federal projects on the territory of the Russian Federation. The study of the approved criteria for the implementation of the national project “Demography” as a list of indicators of annual state statistical reporting to be monitored revealed the problem, the essence of which is that: the approved list of indicators is insufficient; quantitative results of the implementation of federal projects planned for 2022 and projected for 2024 exist only for some indicators from the approved list; in federal projects, indicators that are not contained in the annual state statistical reports are proposed as criteria, which does not allow an analysis of the state of the social (demographic) environment; the criteria contained in federal projects, which are indicators of annual state statistical reporting, have not been officially approved.

The educational aspect of the staffing of the fuel and energy complex in the Arctic region

DOI: 10.33917/mic-6.89.2019.64-69

The quantitative and qualitative imbalance in the labor market threatens the implementation of fuel and energy projects in the Arctic zone. In projects for the development of offshore fields, there is an acute shortage of specialists who possess management skills with modern computer equipment, electronics, robotic systems. The analysis of the personnel training system showed that among all the Arctic States, the Russian Arctic has the most numerous and extensive network of highly qualified personnel training. However, the functioning system of training does not meet the needs of the industry in full. The purpose of this article is to consider the importance of the educational component in meeting the needs of the Arctic zone in qualified personnel of the fuel and energy sector.

Prospects for the development of the mining industry in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

The article is devoted to the development of the mining industry in the territory of the Murmansk region, which is part of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The importance of mining enterprises in the volume of industrial production of the Murmansk region is analyzed, the largest enterprises to grow and their role in the socio-economic development of the region are identified. Using the example of the largest mining enterprise in the Murmansk Region (Kovdor Mining and Processing Plant), an analysis of the use of the enterprise’s working capital was carried out, the degree of efficiency of the enterprise and the industry as a whole was determined, and prospects for attracting investors from other regions were evaluated.
