This article analyses the dynamics of trust in institutions, which underpin the legitimacy of social order, on the basis of a study of the developed Arctic region during the period 2006–2018. The authors considered the principal theoretical concepts on which the study of trust, the well-being of citizens, the assessment of security and compliance with the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens is to be based. It is assumed that the legitimacy of the social order consists in a state where people not only trust specific institutions, but also enjoy a sense of security from threats and the ability to exercise basic rights and freedoms in the presence of a competent authority to protect them in case of violations. The dynamics of the security of the inhabitants of the region, associated with an increase in the level of their well-being, are considered. The structure for retaining the legitimacy of the social order is demonstrated on the basis of a number of indices and model calculations. Configuration analysis was carried out to support the construction of multidimensional models. It was concluded that there has been a dramatic collapse in the social activity of the inhabitants of the Arctic region bordering on social apathy. It is shown that, during the period under study, trust in local authorities significantly declined, while the importance attributed to respecting private property rights increased. Trust in social institutions is shown to be significantly lower than trust in government institutions, contradicting the situation in developed countries. It is recommended that more attention be paid to the functioning of local and municipal authorities governing the Arctic region, who are much more aware of the needs of the inhabitants since they are connected by much denser social ties. The authors substantiate the need to introduce social innovation that allows to diversify communication channels between the government and the public, meet unsatisfied social needs that are not solved by existing institutions and contribute to building trust between different participants.

The article analyses the most relevant aspects of Arctic research, which are gaining momentum in recent years. The most dynamic thematic ar- eas include the humanitarian issues of the development of the Russian North. The research focuses on the assessment of the peculiarities of the formation and reproduction of human capital in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation the development of the creative and intellectual potential of Russian polar cities. The author notes that research into the social well-being of the population of the Rus- sian Northern regions has become an important direction of research work carried out over the past decades. In studies of the social well-being of the inhabitant of the Arctic region, the authors problematize the key “zones of disadvantage” in the system of assessing the population, and, first of all, the issues of protection from those social dangers that the population find for itself. Summarizing the state of the Arctic research, the author proposes to move away from overly localized coverage of Arctic problems. Large-scale sociological works, which, in our opin- ion, have a certain substantial scientific potential, provided that they are fully implemented, it seems, are now at the stage of their theoretical conceptualization and methodological search.

The land-use of slope terrain in the Arctic region is important and relevant, as vast territories that are reserved for proposed cities’ development have disturbed land relief. The relevance of the study is also associated with an increased interest in the development of settlements in the Arctic region, which has great territorial and resource potential. In addition to the complexity of the engineering support of such terrains, there are difficulties in organizing comfortable indoor wind comfort in the residential areas required for population well-being. The study focuses on specific conditions for residential areas design resilient to the harsh climatic conditions on difficult slope terrain to ensure the quality of life of the population in the Arctic region of Russia. The article focuses on the study of wind-chill parameters such as wind velocity and temperature for different slopes. The subject of this research is slope terrain aeration conditions of the Arctic zone in Russia. The research aim expresses the relationship between specific aeration of the slope area conditions and the layout design of residential areas to ensure comfortable living conditions for the population. The study was carried out using mathematical computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling of wind flows in the ANSYS Fluent program. The results of the study are graphs showing the distribution of comfort and discomfort zones in a residential area for different aeration conditions at different slope terrains. Implementation of the methodology for assessing aeration conditions for residential areas on slope terrains was carried out in the city of Murmansk. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that there are no similar studies for the Arctic region in Russia. Research results can be used as a practical tool for justification of residential areas through a sample plan addressing their wind comfortability.

The article presents the results of a sociological study of social aspects of self-development of a number of single-industry towns and towns with a diversified economy in the Arctic region — the Murmansk region. Structured sociological information on the population's assessment of social aspects of self-development makes it possible to adequately assess the dynamics of public opinion and use this knowledge in solving the problems of modernizing the system of public relations and the processes of self-development of local communities. Similar studies performed by the authors in 2008–2010 revealed a weaker level of social activity of the population, low estimates of the current life situation in single-industry towns, compared with estimates of the population in towns with a diversified economy. This article analyzes self-assessments of the population in relation to territorial and civil identity, which contributed to understanding the degree of social cohesion of local communities, examines assessments of significance of factors of the Northern specificity, determines the motives for participation in socially significant activities, and identifies the rating of problems that affect life quality in local communities. It is found out that over the past decade there has been a significant convergence of residents’ opinions in single-industry towns and tons with a diversified economy on important issues of life organization. It can be assumed that this indicates the success of the state policy to improve the socio-economic situation in single-profile territorial entities. In addition, a certain uniformity of the social environment of living in the studied groups of towns can contribute to forming innovative social technologies for self-development of the social potential of local societies throughout the Arctic region — the Murmansk region.

One of the main problems of the Russian economy today is the development of the Arctic region. Given the key role of the energy sector in the economic balance of the country, as well as the problem of exhaustion of hydrocarbon resources, the Arctic is of particular interest from an economic and geopolitical point of view, ensuring the energy security of Russia. Active development of the region leads to the development of transport infrastructure, which is one of the priorities of Russia's energy policy. The issue of transportation plays a leading role in the context of the development of Arctic resources and involves a number of tasks. The first step is to ensure the safety of navigation in the Arctic ice. Also existing infrastructure needs substantial upgrading, as well as construction of new facilities (including ports, railways, roads, etc.). Of particular note is a unique transcontinental route - the Northern Sea Route. There is a need to modernize the Arctic Fleet, including the construction of modern icebreakers of the Arctic class. The current state of the port system, which does not fully meet the latest international standards, is of crucial importance as well. In addition, along the route the development of railway infrastructure is required. In addition, there is the problem of underdevelopment of the road network, which leads to a re-run and lack of access of some are as to the road network of Russia. Thus, the development of hydrocarbon resources in the Arctic region contributes to the development of infrastructure of the transport system in the region and, consequently, its economic development that contributes to the economic well-being of the country as a whole.

Abstract The Arctic is the northernmost region of our planet, including the outskirts of the continents of Eurasia and North America, as well as the corresponding islands and archipelagos, the Arctic Ocean and parts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Despite the still existing discrepancy in the concept of the boundaries of the Arctic region, all researchers agree in one opinion: this region is most sensitive to the climate change, and the consequences may be irreversible. As a part of the commitments on sustainable development undertaken by Russia and taking into account the importance and special status of the Arctic region, it seems necessary to consider the possibility of transforming the energy sector of the Arctic as one of the main sources of emissions of pollutants and CO2 in the region. The combination of energy sources proposed in the article - natural gas and renewable energy sources - is the cleanest and most environmentally friendly, and a hybrid energy system based on this alliance is the most sustainable and allows to use advantages of proposed energy sources, hedging each other's limitations. Proposed hybrid system could contribute to the development of the region and the well-being of its population and the environment.

The relevance of scientific understanding of security in the context of a crisis of generalized trust in Russian society is justified by the search for significant indicators of its interdependence. The scientific discourse of the study of subjective assessments of social well-being allows us to predict the dynamics of these phenomena. The purpose of this article is to identify the optimal socio-economic context, as well as the effectiveness of the regional authorities, which are a necessary condition for optimizing the social well-being of citizens, as one of the basic components of the stability of the region's functioning. The analysis of the basic components of the social well-being of the population of the Altai territory in the context of the analysis of generalized trust in the basic social institutions of the region is presented. On the basis of structural-functional and neo-evolutionist approaches, the role of trust as a basic construct of the social order of functioning of the regional community is revealed. Conclusions are made that the set of assessments of the cognitive and emotional level of sensations indicates that most of the inhabitants of the region have a low estimate of the potential of social institutions responsible for the safety of life in the region.

Drastic transformations of the social and labor sphere have led to the emergence of new health risks and sanitary and hygienic problems associated with unreliability of employment. A new socio-economic and psychological phenomenon “precarity” has emerged, which has aff ected the employment conditions of employees, so the description of the phenomenon “precarity” needs to be clarifi ed.The forms of labor employment that diff er from the typical model and worsen the employee’s situation are considered. The criteria based on which non-standard employment is considered unstable are given.Generalized types of unstable employment are identifi ed, the specifi city of which is determined by a combination of two factors: working time and the term of the contract. Unstable working conditions are possible not only in informal employment, but also in legal labor relations. Unreliability and instability of labor has an objective character and is a natural manifestation of the emerging economic and social order. The phenomenon of “precarity of employment” appears as a new determinant of the health of employees. The main feature when referring employment and labor relations to the phenomenon of “precarity” is their unreliability.Specifies the terms used: “precariat”; “precarious work”; precompact; the precariat. An essential characteristic of precarious employment is the violation of social and labor rights and lack of job security. A significant indicator of precarity is underemployment. Precarity induces the potential danger of dismissal of the employee and the resulting stress, psychosomatic disorders and pathological processes in the psyche.Precarious employment and related labor relations have become widespread. Many employees are deprived of social guarantees, including those related to labor safety, payment for holidays and temporary disability, and provision of preventive measures. Th is leads to a violation of the state of well-being, as well as the deterioration of individual and public health.
