Abstract
The article discusses approaches to the analysis and measurement of the quality of life of the indigenous peoples of the North, taking into account the implementation of projects for the industrial development of Arctic territories. The relevance of the study is determined both by the high significance of industrial development projects in the Arctic, and the impact of such projects on the quality of life and people's conservation. The analytical base is based on the results of our own sociological research in the settlements of the Arctic zone of the country in the areas of implementation of mining projects. The subject of the study is the economic and social relations that arise between mining companies and the indigenous peoples of the North in the context of the impact of mining projects on the quality of life and people's conservation. The object of the study is the living conditions and development of traditional crafts of indigenous peoples in the zone of implementation of mining projects in the Srednekolymsky and Oleneksky districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The hypothesis of the study is to identify the relationship between the implementation of projects for the industrial development of the Arctic and improving the quality of life of the local population through the participation of mining companies in the socio-economic development of the territory. The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze the factors that affect the quality of life of the local population in the regions where projects of mining companies are being implemented. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the development of a methodological approach to the study of the quality of life in the context of the activities of mining companies based on sociological surveys of the population. The formulated recommendations on the support of the indigenous peoples of the North by mining companies can be used to implement social policy in the field of people saving and improving the quality of life of the local population.
