Introduction: the task of maintaining control over the geostrategic territory of the Russian Arctic requires dealing with problems of population outflow and reduced reproduction of human capital. The need to develop appropriate management mechanisms makes it relevant to form the scientific foundations for regulating migration processes. In this context, supplementing the existing statistical information with data on the migration attitudes of the population of the Arctic regions, in particular the Arctic territories of the Komi Republic, becomes of paramount importance. Objectives: to determine the reasons for migration attitudes formation among the population in the Arctic territories of the Komi Republic; to identify their spatial differentiation and differences between social groups. Methods: the research was based on the results of a population survey in the Komi Republic Arctic territories (n = 651, 2021), as well as Rosstat data. Methodological approaches of spatial economics and sociology were used. Results: data on migration processes were analyzed; migration attitudes and their specificity were identified in the spatial context, as well as within the framework of age, educational and income groups of the population. The intention to leave the Arctic territories of the region is most pronounced among the residents of Vorkuta: 47.4 % of respondents have certain plans to relocate or are considering opportunities for this; in Inta, this indicator reaches 36.1 %. The most significant reasons for migration intentions for the residents of the Komi Republic Arctic territories are: the desire to change the climatic conditions (important and very important for 62.4 % of those wishing to leave the subregion), the desire to ensure the future of children (58.1 %), as well as the need to improve medical care (51.2 %). Conclusions: the article proposes an analytical basis of a point and spatially differentiated impact on the most important causes and factors of population migration in the Arctic territories of the Komi Republic. The factors providing the strongest influence on the population outflow in certain territories and requiring relatively small organizational and financial costs to overcome them should be leveled first. This approach is most relevant in the context of severe resource constraints on the country’s development.

An extended use of natural and geostrategic potential of the Arctic determines the relevance of studying the development of mono-cities as key elements of settling framework of a macroregion. GO Kostomuksha has been a positive exception for a long time due to a favorable socio-economic situation and successful leveling of environmental risks. The article examines social and environmental aspects of the activity of the city-forming enterprise GO Kostomuksha. The purpose of the work is to identify the key social and environmental aspects of the activity of a city-forming enterprise that determines the sustainable development of a single-industry town. The research methodology includes the concept of sustainable development, dialectical and formal-logical approaches, a combination of methods of statistical and sociological analysis. The originality of the study lies in the choice of an object - the city of Kostomuksha, which recently received “Arctic” status, which has not been sufficiently studied in this status from a socio-economic point of view. The study is based on official statistics, reporting data of holdings and enterprises, as well as the results of a survey of the population of Kostomuksha. The study reveals that, despite a high burden of existing production on the environment, ecological problems occupy the last place (only 3,7% of respondents noted the environmental situation as a problem) on the list of crucial issues for the city. At the same time, almost half of respondents share the responsibility for the environment condition as personal. The perceived connection of the personal future with the city is higher among the employees of the enterprise than among other residents (78,6% vs. 60%). The conclusion is made about the expediency of a wider media and social networks coverage of such areas of the enterprise's activity as “preservation of the environment”, “social security and charity”, “household welfare of the population”, as well as a more intensified interaction in these areas with local authorities. The results are applicable in the framework of regulating the development of local communities in single-industry towns in the Arctic and maximizing social effects as a part of ESG agenda by large holdings and enterprises.
