EFFECT OF ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACT ON ECOLOGICAL CAPACITY OF THE ARCTIC TERRITORIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOMI

The northern territories are characterized by severe climatic conditions, low self-purifying and regenerative capacity of environment and point concentration of hazardous industries. The goal of the study is to assess the acceptable level of anthropogenic impact. An integrated approach using the statistical methods of economic, system-structural regional and microeconomic analysis is applied. A brief description of climatic indicators, landscape conditions, industrial activity and its decentralization in the studied area is given. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the environmental situation and identifi cation of the areas where it is most unfavorable. The package measures for waste disposal and their use as raw material for energy production.
