  • 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).

  • Monitoring the Effectiveness of Youth Participation in Project Citizen A
    Monitoring the Effectiveness of Youth Participation in Project Citizen A Civitas-Russia Evaluation Project Summary of Preliminary Findings June 2005 Background In November 2002, Civitas-Russia began a monitoring initiative to evaluate the effectiveness of youth participation in the Russian variation of Project Citizen entitled “I am a Citizen of Russia.” We decided to focus this monitoring initiative in Samara where Project Citizen has been underway since 1998. In Samara, there is a civics curriculum for all grade levels designed to provide an integrated approach to pupil learning of the values, skills and knowledge required of citizens in a democratic society. The Samara educational system has incorporated the social project approach in general and Project Citizen in particular as one strategy for advancing its civic learning goals. The purpose of this monitoring initiative is to gauge the influence of participation in social projects on Samara’s larger goal of civic learning. The Samara Regional Center for Civic Education (SCCE) coordinated this initiative in cooperation with the Civitas-Russia partnership. One of the Civitas partners, Charles White of Boston University School of Education, served as a technical advisor because of his expertise in the field of educational research and evaluation. Another Civitas partner, Stephen Schechter, Director of the Council for Citizenship Education, provided administrative support for this initiative. Design The research design and instruments for this monitoring initiative sought to replicate the work of CCE in Bosnia and Vontz et al. (2000) in Indiana, Latvia, and Lithuania. These studies employed well-established research methods with validated instruments. The monitoring team designed a pre-test and post-test for experimental and control groups.

Sidorov1,*, N.V. Lazareva1, I.I. Firulina1 and O.A. Sapova1 * Corresponding author: [email protected] 1Samara State University of Economics, Samara, Russia Abstract. Ecological safety of the territory plays an important role in the socio-economic regional welfare. The goal of the research is to define the condition of ecological safety of the Samara region, a large region of Russia. The objectives of research cover the evaluation of natural (gross and specific) environmental indicators of natural-anthropogenic environment of rural municipal areas for the period 2014-2017. Materials for the calculations were official statistics. Methods of description, comparison, mathematical analysis, logical constructions have been applied. As a result, natural and anthropogenic environmental instability, the ambiguous situation in the subregions and unresolved problems in land use, forest use, air pollution, water use, water supply and wastewater disposal, and waste management were identified. It is proposed to use the results that were obtained in strategic planning and improvement of measures to ensure sustainable development of rural areas. Keywords: environmental safety, conditions, emissions, waste, discharges. 1 Introduction The security of the territory as a whole is based on its interrelated and mutually influencing components of natural and anthropogenic characteristics: economic, social, ecological, medical, food and other types. Ecological safety, as a basic condition for the protection of ecological interests of the population and natural environment, plays an important role in the socio-economic regional welfare.
