Abstract—

The article assesses the internal differentiation of municipalities in the regions of the Russian Arctic by the scale of potential socioeconomic damage from dangerous geocryological processes. Based on a specially developed technique, the areas where the population and its economic activity are most spatially vulnerable to natural hazards, including those due to climate-related process, are identified.

Notes

  1. It is not used in this study, since in the regions of the Russian Arctic, there are large areas of reindeer pastures dominating in the structure of agricultural lands, where geocryological hazards are minimal (except, for example, the formation of funnels of gas emissions (methane) [17]).
