The Russian Federation Arctic Doctrine elaborated recently includes the strategy of socio-economic development of the Russian Arctic, enlargement of transport infrastructure, strengthening of nature protection, etc. till 2030. The accelerated socio-economic development of several “advanced development zones” was defined, Northern Yakutia being one of them. The strategy declared commitment to the postulates of sustainable development. This demanded revealing of different risks. Among the priorities — ecological and ethnic-cultural conflicts. Revealing and mapping of potential nature management conflicts was the goal of our research. Methodology was based on system and ecological-economic analysis elaborated earlier. Studies of the existing and planned nature management structure enabled to conclude that it will be preserved in general, but nature management intensity will increase greatly, its new areas will appear. Projects of the Northern Yakutia advanced development zone revive recreation nature management (cruises along the Lena). The potential areas of nature management have been matched to a landscape map in order to study ecosystems’ pools, regulatory and provisioning being the most demanded. Their territorial reference was given for perspective areas. A possibility of quasi-stationary ecological characteristics preservation for socio-economic development (“nature turn-over”) demands a quantitative assessment of competing ecosystems services pools at local (within the development area) and regional levels. The compiled map of potential nature management conflicts presents the basic spatial analytical information for elaboration of rational nature management.

Landscape ecological studies supply valuable data for advanced nature management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The recently adopted State program for advanced economic development of this zone outlined eight regions for such activities. Our study area Indiga belongs to Nenets advanced economic development region. Its landscapes are presented by rolling and hilly plains at the coast of the Barents Sea. Different tundra types are the most typical vegetation cover, but forest-tundra and even northern taiga are also met. Nowadays Indiga is a small settlement in the mouth of the Indiga river which according to the State program will give rise to a new sea port belonging to the Northern Sea Route infrastructure, railway terminal construction. Dominating nowadays traditional nature management will be completed by transport and residential promoting nature management conflicts emerging from joint exploitation of several ecosystem services by different stakeholders. Such conflicts need elaboration of regulation system. Such regulation is of primary importance for ecosystems with low resilience to technogenic impact which may destroy natural processes of ecosystem services pools reproduction. We present a case study demonstrating the procedure of revealing and mapping of ecosystem services using a landscape map. This is the first step for quoting of ecosystem services exploitation.

Due to various factors, the regions of Russia have significant differences in the level of socio-economic development. Thus, each region of Russia has certain specific qualities inherent only to it, which must be taken into account when implementing regional policy. By reducing the influence of negative factors and, conversely, activating positive ones, it is possible to significantly increase the competitiveness of regional economies and the country as a whole. One of the features of the economies of the underdeveloped regions of Siberia is a significant share in their structure of low-productivity and low-tech industries, a lack of investment capital, low innovative activity of business entities, poor development of the territory, insufficient transport infrastructure, a shortage of highly qualified personnel and a number of others. The strategic priority of the state's economic policy in recent years in relation to underdeveloped regions is to achieve an acceptable average Russian level. In this regard, it becomes relevant to search for natural competitive advantages that can provide, through the correct and justified selection of "growth points" based on the use of the internal potential of such territories of their more dynamic development in relation to the most successful regions.

The paper substantiates the necessity to study a transport infrastructure in the context of its impact on socioeconomic indicators pertaining to the development of a certain region. The importance of this study is confirmed by the goals and objectives of the transport system development of the Republic of Belarus, which are outlined in the National Strategy of the Republic of Belarus for Sustainable Socio-Economic Development for the period until 2030, and they are considered as well as priority areas for the development of Minsk region, presented in the Sustainable Development Strategy of Minsk Region for 2016–2025. The influence of eight indicators for transport infrastructure development of Minsk region on four key socio-economic indicators of the region development such as gross regional product, investment in fixed assets, revenues of consolidated budgets, average wage level has been investigated in the paper. A multiple regression analysis has been applied for assessing a relationship between dependent and independent variables. A step selection method has been used as a method of multiple regression analysis. All calculations have been carried out in the IBM SPSS Statistics 20 program. As a result of the study correlation indicators have been established between dependent and independent variables, relationships between variables and dependencies have been determined in the paper. The reliability of the obtained results have been verified with the help of the Fisher and Student's criteria. The obtained results have made it possible to identify key indicators for a transport infrastructure of Minsk region which have the greatest impact on socio-economic development of this region and can be used to analyze an investment attractiveness of Minsk region.

A map presenting areas of potential nature management conflicts risks at the territory of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (region) (NAO) was compiled. Nowadays this region experiences fast economic development foreseen by the Arctic Doctrine of the Russian Federation which includes economic development in different spheres. The 8 basic development zones were mentioned in the Doctrine, one- at the territory of NAO. Development strategy plans include careful nature management and complex approach to economic development tasks realization. This is of vital importance regarding the following: low ecosystems resilience to anthropogenic disturbances, presence of traditional nature management lands of indigenous peoples, pulls of regulating and supporting ecosystem services of microregional dimensions. These facts demonstrate importance of nature management potential risks spatial analysis for territories of pioneer development in NAO. Several big investments projects are planned for NAO for the nearest future. The larger part of investments into NAO economy (97 %) are connected with hydrocarbons extraction development. Priorities concern industrial nature management development (mainly mineral resources extraction), transport nature management (Indiga and Amderma sea ports, railways connecting with neighbor regions, pipe-lines arrangement). Original method of nature management conflicts analysis and mapping was used. It was based on revealing of potential competing exploitation of ecosystem services regulating, production, cultural. System analysis and mapping methods were used as well. The revealed areas of potential nature management conflicts must be taken into consideration during territorial management plans development.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest prezentacja miejsca infrastruktury transportowej w programowaniu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego oraz analiza charakteru i roli tego czynnika w wybranych teoriach rozwoju regionalnego. Pierwsza część pracy opisuje metodę badań oraz wykorzystywane źródła. Część druga zawiera syntetyczny przegląd literatury z zakresu ekonomiki transportu i wskazuje na elementy kluczowe z punktu widzenia rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego oraz, co za tym idzie, zainteresowania władz publicznych. W części trzeciej opisana jest dyskusja tocząca się wokół oczekiwanej roli inwestycji infrastrukturalnych oraz ich miejsca w wybranych koncepcjach rozwoju regionalnego. Koncentruje się ona wokół dylematu „wyprzedzającego”, bądź „wtórnego” modelu rozbudowy infrastruktury, a także roli tego zagadnienia na tle innych czynników rozwoju regionalnego. Całość zamyka podsumowanie, które zawiera wnioski na temat roli sfery transportu we wspieraniu rozwoju regionów oraz konkluzję, zgodnie z którą infrastruktura transportu stanowi element niezbędny do kreowania dostępności i równolegle wewnętrznego potencjału regionów. The role of transport infrastructure as one of the regional development indicators The aim of this paper is to present the place of transport infrastructure in socio-economic development programming and to analyse the nature and role of this factor in selected theories of regional development. The first part of the paper describes the research method and sources used. The second part contains a synthetic review of the literature on transport economics and indicates the key elements from the point of view of socio-economic development and, consequently, the interest of public authorities. The third part describes the discussion on the expected role of infrastructure investments and their place in selected concepts of regional development. It focuses on the dilemma of the “anticipatory” or “secondary” model of infrastructure development and the role of this issue against the background of other regional development factors. The book closes with a conclusion on the role of the transport sphere in supporting regional development and the conclusion that transport infrastructure is an indispensable element in creating accessibility and, in parallel, the internal potential of regions.
