The article examines the Karelian Arctic region, formed due to the inclusion of a number of territories into the Russian Arctic. It provides a description of its geographical position and analyzes the dynamics of spatial development, the settlement system and mineral resource base, tourist, biological resource and fishery potential. The authors outline significant differentiation of the economic space of the region. They note that the natural resource and socio-economic potential is used extremely unevenly within the Arctic Karelia region. The authors reveal the decisive role of single-industry towns in the formation of trends in the spatial development of the region under study. Under existing conditions, they act as poles of economic growth and maintaining the population of the northern territories, with general trends of degradation of the settlement system and the aggravation of the sparseness of the economic space. The researchers analyze spatial localization of ongoing and planned investment projects in the region, determine and explain its regularities. The paper identifies the prerequisites for enhancing the economic development of the Belomorsk part of the Karelian Arctic, represented by two vectors: internal (from the existing economic centers within the region of the Karelian Arctic) and external (from the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions). The existing economic ties between the enterprises of the Belomorsk part of the Karelian Arctic, the Arkhangelsk and Murmansk regions, as well as a number of projects in the mining, fishery, tourism and logistics spheres represent a significant potential for the interdependent development of the Arctic regions. For a more complete use of the existing development potential in these conditions, it is necessary to transform the role of single-industry towns in the formation of the regional economic space by improving the special economic regime and introducing institutional innovations. Improving the special economic regime of the Russian Arctic is one of the priority mechanisms for diversifying mono-profile economies, transitioning to innovative growth models and involving depressed territories in economic development processes.

The modern political and economic processes have had a significant impact on the change in the economic policy of Russia and its “internal” economic space. As a result of the “sanction” blocking of the significant sectors of the economy, the importance of considering the spatial factor of socio-economic development in the basic development program documents has increased. The article examines the main approaches to spatial organization of the regional economy and strategic directions of spatial development in the context of the “Strategy of Spatial Development of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2025”. These approaches are based on the joint evolution of this organization and the regional settlement system under the influence of a multiple external and internal factors, including the implementation of a rational state policy of regional development. The study examines the main provisions of the spatial economy as an independent scientific field and the theory of new economic geography. It shows the methodological similarity between these two scientific disciplines. The article shows that the basis of spatial development is the integration of specific forms of spatial organization of the economy into large and / or largest agglomerations. The leading role in this integration belongs to the regional communications system, which unites economic centers localized in an allocated space into an integral system and ensures the economic space unity. The implementation of the spatial economy provisions is studied on the example of the Northern Sea Route as a regional communications system, which is in fact the center of the “assembly” of the Arctic space. The functional dominant of the agglomeration as a form of spatial organization of the regional economy is creating such high-quality life conditions that are optimized with the rational economic development of the regional space while maintaining the economic situation at an acceptable level. These are the conditions that form communicative ties, which are the framework for uniting various elements of the regional space.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the structure of the economic space of the Russian Arctic within the framework of determining the prospects for the economic development of the Arctic regions. The unevenness of the economic space of the Russian Arctic and the focus on the extraction and export of natural resources are determined. It is revealed that vertically integrated structures play a key role in the Russian Arctic. It is determined that the specific feature of this region is the ethnoeconomics, the long-term development of which is the dominant direction of the national policy in the field of agriculture of the Russian Arctic.

The purpose of the article is to review scientific ideas about the transformation of the Russian Arctic's socio-economic space in the context of geopolitics, macroeconomics, and intraregional factors of development. This review's significance is determined by the fundamental problems that accompany the development of the Russian Arctic, the growing importance of this territory for the national economy. These contradictions' objectivity is confirmed, which naturally indicated the shortcomings of economic theory, which does not allow us to solve these contradictions. For example, the contradiction between the high costs of functioning of the economy, social sphere and the need to raise the level of socio-economic development of the Russian Arctic; between the tasks of increasing the exploitation of resources and the requirements of the environment, etc., that is, what objectively makes it challenging to solve the problem of sustainable development of the Arctic. However, the numerous scientific studies considered, correlated with transformations in politics, economy, and demography, allowed us to assert that ideas have their driving force, influence, and provide transformational processes in the Arctic. The specificity and the strong influence of geopolitics on socio-economic transformations in the Russian Arctic are identified, but at the same time, the significance of the manifestation of expansionism as an internal human need for settlement, fame, and wealth is emphasized, which also ensures the development of the Arctic. Systemic changes are identified, socio-economic trends in the Russian Arctic are presented, which allowed us to establish the positive impact of modern policy on the development of the Russian Arctic, which marks a trend of reducing demographic losses. The prospects for the socio-economic development of the Russian Arctic are considered, taking into account the current situation of the coronary crisis, internal transformation processes, the influence of politics.

The paper is devoted to the problems of socio-economic development of the Arctic territories of Russia. The methodological base of the study includes the modern theory of the location of production and the concept of state management of regional development. The analysis made it possible to conclude that the spatial development of the Arctic regions is negatively affected by such factors as low infrastructure, transport remoteness, adverse climate, etc. Under these conditions, one of the priorities for the implementation of the Strategy for spatial development of the Arctic zone should be the modernization of its entire transport and logistics system. It has been substantiated that the most effective forms of spatial organization of the economy and management, ensuring the implementation of an integrated approach to the new territories development, may be territorial clusters, as well as territories of advanced social and economic development, contributing to the diversification of the North economy, attracting investments and thereby improving the life quality of the population. The practical significance of the results and conclusions of the study lies in the possibility of their use in updating strategies and programs for the development of the regions of the Russian North and the Arctic with the aim of forming an effective mechanism for managing and coordinating economic activity and ensuring the integrated development of the Arctic territories.

The article focuses on the analysis of the methodology and content of the Strategy for Spatial Development of the Russian Federation until 2025. Particular attention is paid to the task set in the Strategy to improve the population settlement system and to reflection of regional issues in it. The orientation of the Strategy on large cities is in conflict with the objectives of the national project «Demography». Pulling the population into large cities makes it difficult to achieve the target indicator «Increase in the total fertility rate to 1.7 per woman by 2024». For the Strategy of spatial development, whose task was proclaimed to improve the system of population settlement, the problem of its reproduction and placement is far from an idle question. Nevertheless, in the Strategy this issue does not go beyond the framework of duty generalizations, which proclaim a differentiated approach to the directions and measures of the State support for the socio-economic development of territories, taking into account the demographic situation, characteristics of the settlement system, level and dynamics of the economic development and specifics of the environmental conditions. And the thesis formulated in the Strategy: «Stabilization of the population in most constituent entities of the Russian Federation», in fact, has no foundation. In 2005-2018 two thirds of the regions (67.1%) were losing their population. Analysis of the place and role in the Strategy of the region taken as an example (Komi Republic) shows that, in comparison with most other subjects of the Federation, quite a lot of attention and place is given to this republic. It is described as a part of the Northern macroregion, the economic specialization of the republic is indicated there, its capital — the city of Syktyvkar is represented among the promising economic centers, a number of municipal entities of the republic are identified as mineral resource centers, and the city of Vorkuta is presented as a part of the priority geostrategic territories of the Arctic zone. And this is quite understandable. The spatial development of the country is primarily oriented to the North and East.

Institutional Model

The paternalistic model of the development of Arctic resources, based on large industrial and transport systems, developed in Soviet times and partly modernized during the privatization of the 1990s, is increasingly at odds with modern ideas about sustainable development. The role of leaders in the socio-economic development of the Russian Arctic can be assumed by large transnational and transregional corporations. This implies a transition to a new institutional model based on the participation of all key players in the Arctic projects, ensuring an equal dialogue and harmonization of the interests of the state, business and the local community.

Territorial Planning

Recent federal documents devoted to the Arctic zone economic development highlighted eight basic areas—future innovative centers of regional development. Totally 150 investment projects are planned by 2030, where 48% are designated for mineral resources extraction, 16%—for transport development, 7%—for geological survey, 2%—for environment safety protection etc. At the same time, these ambitious plans should meet green economy goals. This means that territorial planning will have to consider at least three spatially differentiated issues: Socio-economic, ecological and environmental (nature hazards, climatic changes etc.). Thus, the initial stage of territorial planning for economic development needs evaluation of different spatial combinations of these issues. This research presents an algorithm for evaluation of joint impact of basic regional components, characterizing “nature-population-economy” interrelations in order to reveal their spatial differences and demonstrate options and risks for future sustainable development of the Russian Arctic. Basic research methods included system analysis with GIS tools. Accumulated data were arranged in three blocks which included principle regional factors which control sustainable development. In order to find different patterns of sustainability provided by these factors pair assessments of ecological/economic, environmental/economic and ecological/environmental data was done. Independent variable-environmental factors offered different spatial natural patterns either promoting or hampering economic development. It was impossible to assess jointly all three blocks data because the discussed framework of regional sustainability factors attributed to spatial regional system, which demonstrated its panarchy character. Ranking results were visualized in a map where the selected pair groups were shown for each basic territory of advanced development. Visualization of proportional correlation of social, economic and ecological factors was achieved using color triangle method (RGB).
