Annotation

Challenges and threats related to the sustainable development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) dictate the need to study the fundamental laws of evolution and current state of the structures and processes of spatial development of AZRF, the development and scientific substantiation of methodology, methods and practical approaches to the formation of alternative (innovative) models of spatial ecological and economic development of the coastal and inland territories, including urban development, adaptation of existing methods of management. The study was conducted with use of the historical and comparative method, presupposing identification of common features in historical events in different periods of development of resources and territory of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District. Also, the economic models were considered which were used in different historical periods in terms of their influence on the life of the population. As a result of the study, a pattern of development of Arctic territories depending on the targets of their development is discovered, the suggestions for the formation of the basic principles of the creation of new models of the spatial development of the Arctic regions are offered, from the point of view of the invariance of the innovative way as condition for sustainable development of the Russian Arctic.
