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.

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.

DOI: 10.33917/mic-4.123.2025.84-94

The article considers the indicators (criteria) for the implementation of national and federal projects of the Russian Federation, adopted by Presidential Decrees in 2014 and 2024, aimed at increasing the level of provision of residential premises for the population living in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. The dynamics of such interrelated indicators in four regions of the Arctic Zone over a period of 10 years is analyzed as the degree of housing provision for the population; the development of housing construction, determined by the indicator; the number of economically active population.

Electricity supply in the Far East by means of wind power stations on the example of the towns of Sovetskaya Gavan in Khabarovsk Krai and Nakhodka in Primorsky Krai

DOI: 10.33917/mic-3.122.2025.110-118

The article considers the possibility of energy supply of the port cities Sovetskaya Gavan in Khabarovsk Krai and Nakhodka in Primorsky Krai using wind power plants (WPP). The wind potential of the regions has been analyzed, promising sites for wind power plants (WPP) have been identified, and their expected output has been calculated. The technical and economic aspects of the projects have been studied. It is shown that the introduction of wind power plants and energy storage systems (ESS) can reduce the dependence of the regional economy on traditional energy sources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure sustainable energy supply. Recommendations on project implementation are given, taking into account climatic peculiarities and infrastructural limitations.

Sustainable development of Moscow’s construction market: the role of banking instruments and risk assessment

DOI: 10.33917/mic-3.122.2025.100-109

The article examines the factors influencing the dynamics of housing construction in Moscow between 2019 and 2024, with a particular focus on the role of banking instruments in ensuring the stability of the construction industry. It explores the effects of the pandemic, changes in credit policies, and legislative innovations such as the reduction of warranty periods and the lowering of penalty sanctions. The findings suggest that economic instability and shifts in consumer preferences have a significant impact on the market structure, while financial instruments help mitigate the negative effects of crisis situations. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach aimed at further improving financial mechanisms and adapting legislation to support the stable development of the construction sector.

The concept of early degassing of coal seams for the development of the coal industry and the economy of the region

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.120.2025.96-102

Early degassing of coal seams is one of the key technologies aimed at optimizing coal mining processes, minimizing negative environmental impacts, and increasing safety during coal mining. Advance degassing is a process in which hydrocarbon gas is removed from coal seams in advance, which reduces the risk of its accumulation and explosions during mine development. The creation of a concept for the implementation of early degassing of coal seams contributes to the development of the coal industry and, as a result, the development of the region’s economy.

The mechanism of implementation of projects for the modernization of local energy systems within the framework of corporate social responsibility of mining enterprises of the Far North

DOI: 10.33917/mic-6.119.2024.81-93

The authors analyzed the features of the functioning of diesel power plants in the decentralized regions of Yakutia and justified the need for their modernization using energy storage systems that optimize operating modes and reduce fuel consumption. A model of multilateral partnership is proposed, which includes three key elements: a Coordinating Council, a Project office and a Public Supervisory Board. A comprehensive system of socio-economic criteria for the selection of projects has been developed. The financial mechanism based on the creation of the energy development fund of the Far North, formed at the expense of contributions from mining enterprises and co-financing from regional authorities, is presented. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of a mechanism for integrating projects for the modernization of local energy systems into the structure of corporate social responsibility strategies of extractive enterprises, which ensures sustainable financing and implementation of projects. The results of the study can be used in the implementation of energy projects in other regions.
