Geosystem Approach to Socio-Economic Development in the Regions of the North of Russia
SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY DOI: 10.15838/esc/2016.1.43.5 UDC 338. 924, LBCК 65.050.22 © Lazhentsev V.N. Geosystem Approach to Socio-Economic Development in the Regions of the North of Russia Vitalii Nikolaevich LAZHENTSEV RAS Corresponding Member, Doctor of Geography Institute of Socio-Economic and Energy Problems of the North, Komi Science Center, Ural Branch of RAS 26, Kommunisticheskaya Street, Syktyvkar 167982, Russian Federation [email protected] Abstract. The paper considers the Russian North in various geographical dimensions: circumpolar, zonal (latitudinal), meridional, structural and territorial. The author estimates the number and dynamics of the population in three zones of the Russian North with the use of primary data provided by district and regional municipalities; he uses the same data to arrange the Northern territories into groups depending on the systems of resettlement of the population and economic specialization of the territories. The analysis of “anatomy” of the North shows that the majority of issues related to socio-economic policy should be considered at the regional and local levels with regard to those territorial and economic systems which have already been formed, but require modernization on the basis of technology adapted for extreme and difficult climatic conditions. The applied part of research on the issues of the North is linked to the theory of the territorial (geosystem) organization of economy. Key words: Arctic, Far North, Near North, meridional integration, territorial and typological groupings of municipalities, intra-oblast economic districts. Since 1945 the regional policy of Russia position of land territories of the Arctic regarding its northern territories has used zone of the Russian Federation. -

The Western Spread of Permic Hydronyms
Pauli Rahkonen The Western Spread of Permic Hydronyms The present study describes ancient Permian settlement history in the light of onomas- tics� The principal aim of this onomastic survey is to determine the westernmost bound- ary of Permic hydronyms� A secondary aim is to distinguish different ancient Permian groups from one another, since the hydronyms suggest that there have possibly been four different kinds of Permian groups during the Middle Ages: Udmurt, Komi, north- western (?Komi dialect) and Meščёra� To some extent, folklore, historical data and the history of different linguistic contacts have also been taken into account� The onomastic exploration has concentrated on the most usual Permic stems and Udmurt formants� In addition, the generic form -jug(a) has been examined� 1� Introduction 4� Generics -ju, -(j)uk and -(j)ug 2� Methods and sources of research 5� Conclusions 3� Permic stems of hydronyms 3�1� Presentation of old Appendix Permic stems 3�2� Some special questions 3�3� Discussion 1. Introduction The stimulus for this present article has been the critique of my article The Linguistic Background of the Ancient Meshchera Tribe and Prin- cipal Areas of Settlement (2009: 162–202), presented by such schol- ars as Ante Aikio (2012: 69) and even an unknown writer of Wikipedia (<https://en�wikipedia�org/wiki/Volga_Finns>)� In the article, I suggest that the Meščëra tribe spoke a Permic language� I admit that the study was not thorough enough� However, one should remember that the article was accepted and recommended for publication -

The focus of this course, like prior years, is captured in its title Population-Environment Dynamics: Toward building a Theory. The course began with an examination of alternative theoretical constructs useful in studying the interaction between human populations and the environment. Also, at the beginning of the course, each participant was asked to select a topic of inquiry and a geographical setting for their study. This selection then became their major focus for the entire semester. -
The Izhma Komi and the Pomor: Two Models of Cultural Transformation
THE IZHMA KOmi AND THE POMOR: TWO MODels OF CultuRAL TRAnsFORMAtiON YURI SHABAyev Head of the Department of Ethnography Institute of Language, Literature and History Komi Science Center, Uralic Division, Russian Academy of Sciences Kommunisticheskaya 24 167982 Syktyvkar, Russia e-mail: [email protected] VAleRI SHARAPOV Research Fellow Institute of Language, Literature and History Komi Science Center, Uralic Division, Russian Academy of Sciences Kommunisticheskaya 24 167982 Syktyvkar, Russia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The article* analyses Pomor and Izhma Komi identities. The Pomor and Izhma Komi, who live in the European north of Russia, practically lost their identity dur- ing the 20th century and are currently undergoing a process of re-identification. The authors delve into the reasons and circumstances stimulating this process of re-identification, analyse which social groups are the initiators of this process and what is the content of Pomorian and Izhma identity today. KeyWORDS: cultural status ● ethnicity ● identity ● indigenous peoples ● the Izhma Komi ● the Pomor IntRODuctiON The Izhma Komi and Pomor are of conspicuous interest for anthropological researchers, with the focus not solely on the archaic elements of their cultural tradition, which are largely lost, but also on their historical memory and ethnic (local) identities, which are the basis for the cultural positioning of these groups. In both cases, i.e. among the Izhma * This research was supported by the INTAS Fund, Project No. 05-1000006-8412 “Ethnic fragmentation and re-identification as a form of social adaptation of local communities (Setu, Ingrian Finns, Pomor, Izhma Komi)” and the programme of fundamental research of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences “Historical and Cultural Heritage and Cultural Wealth of Russia”. -
