Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in the Context of a Circumpolar Civilization Theory

Abstract

A theory developed in 1980 by U.A. Vinokurova and Yu.V. Yakovts proved the existence of the Arctic circumpolar civilization which includes, in their opinion, among other Russian regions the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Aggravation of social and economic problems in this region, decline in the traditional activities of indigenous people caused by a budget reducing requires effective solution at the national level. This particular theory helps to draw attention to the region and fosters development of the natural and cultural heritage preservation programs. It provides ethnocultural development of indigenous people and protection of their primordial habitat and a traditional way of life.

“…In a closed triangular mesh model, vertex V, edge E, and triangular face F satisfy V − E + F = 2. The number of triangular faces is about twice the number of vertices, and the number of edges is about three times the number of vertices [16].…”

“…The topology structure of the mesh model includes three types: point neighborhood, edge neighborhood, and face neighborhood (Figures 3-5). number of vertices, and the number of edges is about three times the number of vertices [16].…”
