  • The Study of Public Opinion on Industrial Mining in the Nefteyugansk District of Yugra © Said Kh
    Arctic and North. 2017. No. 28 87 UDC 67.01 DOI: 10.17238/issn2221-2698.2017.28.106 The study of public opinion on industrial mining in the Nefteyugansk district of Yugra © Said Kh. Khaknazarov, Cand. Sci. (Geol.-min.), Head of the Research Depart- ment for Social and Economic Development and Monitoring. Tel: +79124180675. E-mail: [email protected] Ob-Ugriс Institute of Applied Researches and Developments, Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia. Abstract. In this article, we consider the views of respondents on the industrial development of mineral deposits on the example of the Nefteyugansky district, Yugra. The analysis of views regarding the development of mineral deposits rep- resents a comparative sociological study. It summarizes the results of a poll conducted in 2015 on the territory of Nefteyugansk district and earlier studies done in 2008 and 2012. The results of polls showed that most respondents had positive sentiments to the industrial mining. On the other hand, in contrast to 2008, in 2015, the proportion of people, who opposed the commercial develop- ment of mineral resources, got bigger. At the same time, most respondents believed that industrial mining resulted in environmental degradation of the area (district) of their residence. Keywords: industrial mining, public opinion, poll, environmental condition, respondents, small-numbered indigenous peoples of the North, experts, results of industrial mining The rapid growth and development of industrial facilities, new technologies, development of new mineral deposits, and creation of powerful industrial equipment represent a potential risk of industrial accidents and their negative consequences for human health and the environment. This is because the deposits of mineral resources that meet the industry needs are mainly on the territories of traditional nature use (TTNU) of indigenous peoples of the North (IPN).

    78 UDC 622.692.4.053 (571.122) FEATURES OF LAND POLLUTION BY ENTERPRISES OF OIL-AND-GAS PRODUCTION COMPLEX IN NIZHNEVARTOVSK REGION G.K. Hodzhaeva Nizhnevartovsk State Humanitarian University, Nizhnevartovsk, Russia Laboratory for geoecological researches, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. During its development and working, oil-trunk pipeline network situ- ated on the territory of Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug had a significant techno- geneous impact on environment. In given article zoning territory of Nizhnevartovsk region on the area and volume of oil pollution after accidents is resulted. Keywords: oil pollution, license sites oil industry, oil-trunk pipelines, oil-fields, oil spills Oil-and-gas production complex is one of economic growth engines in the coun- try and has one of the maximum investment multipliers which provides a significant part of revenues for accounting system of the Russian Federation. Its share in tax reven- ues of the Russian budget makes up 40 % last years. The oil industry of Russia involves oil-production enterprises, refineries and enterprises for transportation and oil and oil products distribution. There are 28 large active refineries (with capacity of 1 million tons per year), mini-refineries and oil-pro- duction plants in this sector. The oil-trunk pipeline length amounts to about 50 thousand kilometers and the oil-products pipeline length is about 19.3 thousand kilometers [4]. The key oil industry center in Western Siberia is Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug. About 80 % of oil is produced here. In the near-term outlook the Western Siberia (Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Tomsk region) and Sakhalin (including the shelf) will be the key regions of oil-delivery formations for Asian-Pacific Region [2].

  • Contemporary Situation of Khanty Language
    44 CAES Vol. 5, № 1 (March 2019) Contemporary situation of Khanty language Marija Launonen University of Helsinki; Helsinki, Finland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Khanty language faces numerous problems and tasks relating to dialect diversity, a small number of speakers, tensions between dialects, administrative divisions, education possibilities, urbanization and use of language in the contemporary world. A way that can be proposed to overcome these problems is to follow a Saami example in a decentralized approach to dialects, implementing online long-distance learning platforms. Several Khanty dialects are vigorously used among all age groups and have undisrupted intergenerational transmission, and the question in these cases, therefore, is about strengthening the language positions, not about reviving or revitalization. But there are few other dialects, where questions of reviving and revitalization are urgent questions. Keywords: Khanty language; language revitalization; Surgut idiom of Khanty language Introduction Khanty language, along with Mansi and Hungarian, belongs to Ugric branch of Uralic family. Khanty is spoken by an indigenous community, the Khanty people, who live in North-Western Siberia. According to 2010 census, in Russia 30943 people proclaimed themselves to be Khanty. 19068 of them live in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, 9489 live in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and 718 live in Tomsk Oblast. 9584 people have claimed to have good proficiency in Khanty language, and it is thought that almost all of them also have Khanty ethnic self-identity (Csepregi 2017). Khanty is usually divided into two dialect groups: Western and Eastern. The Western group is often divided further into Southern and Northern dialect groups.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps.

We present results of ongoing geological and hydrogeological research and provide additional information on the geocryological conditions prevalent in this territory.
