Abstract

The author's research subject was the health-saving state and possibilities for participants in the neo-industrial development of the Russian Arctic regions. In order to study the real situation in this area and prepare possible recommendations for government agencies, tools were developed and surveys of Northerners were conducted, which made it possible to test hypotheses about the factors’ importance determining the health saving ways for people inhabiting the Russian Arctic. Most of the sociological research (mass and expert surveys, focus groups) was conducted by the author on the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug territory, however, in 2020-2022, the results of expeditions conducted in the European sector of the Russian Arctic (part of the Arkhangelsk Region assigned to the Arctic zone by presidential decree) and the East Siberian Region were added to them sector (Chukotka Autonomous Okrug). The methodology of the work, based on the sociological diagnosis of the stated problem, required the study of a set of factors determining the Northerners’ health (climatic and socio-economic, structure and quality of nutrition and leisure, the state of local health and ecology, etc.). The methodology and results of research conducted in the three Arctic regions can be used in other Arctic regions of the Russian Federation.
