Abstract
The practical necessity of studying perspectives for the effective use of the social potential of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and determining the direction and mechanisms of its development set the vector of goal setting within the framework of this research problem. As a basis, the authors used the results of sociological research, including the author's, the works of scientists in sociology and management theory. The article shows that in the process of analyzing the main concepts and categories, a systematic approach was used, which is due to its effectiveness, openness and transparency. Representatives of state structures, authorities, business, social communities were included as actors in the processes of social interactions, which is especially important in the context of the instability of the life of modern Russian society. For the basic category, the authors used social health, the main characteristics of which are presented in the text of the article. The author's methodological excursus made it possible to substantiate the results of the study as the initial basis for the development of an indicative model of social health in the northern regions of the Russian Federation. An analysis of the content of scientific literature on the health of the population of the Arctic territories and the author's research, including an expert survey in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Arkhangelsk region and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, made it possible to identify the most important areas of negative change in the social environment of the inhabitants of the Arctic, including the indigenous peoples of the North, which leads to the violation of their traditional way of life, increased risks of various diseases, including non-communicable ones, and the consequence of these processes is the deterioration of the general and social health of the population of the northern territories. The materials of the article and the analytics carried out based on the results of the author's sociological research can be used for the formulation and adoption of managerial decisions by power structures on the problems of social health of residents of the Arctic zones of the Russian Federation.
