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.
