Food security issues are among the priority areas for the development of the regions of the Arctic zone, both on the territory of the Russian Federation and abroad. The sustainable development of the territory largely depends on the satisfaction of the basic needs of the population. For a detailed and comprehensive assessment of the situation on this issue, a qualitative methodology is required, which will most objectively reflect the state of food security in the regions of the Arctic zone. The study analyzes the existing methods of assessing food security, justifies their main advantages and disadvantages. The authors propose their own methodology for assessing the food security of the regions of the Arctic zone, which uses the most common indicators used in previous methods, and is also based on the main socially significant features of the regions of the Arctic zone (small population, limited opportunities for food production).

Ensuring food security and promoting agricultural development are included in the priority goals of sustainable development until 2030. The structural complexity and multidimensionality of food security in the region requires a clear methodology for its assessment. The article provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of existing methods for assessing the food security of a region in the Russian Federation. The authors proposed a methodology for assessing the food security of a region, which makes it possible to translate the qualitative characteristics of indicators into a unified quantitative characteristic, by considering three possible options for interpreting the indicators. This makes it possible to form a final aggregate assessment of the level of food security in the region and track it in dynamics through the prism of the development of the agro-industrial complex.

Ensuring food security and promoting the development of agriculture are included in the priority goals of sustainable development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation until 2035. The structural complexity and multidimensionality of food security in the region requires a clear methodology for its assessment. The article presents the results of a study of food security in the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. This study is based on an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of existing methods for assessing food security in the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The authors proposed a methodology for assessing the food security of the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, which makes it possible to translate a phased multivariate analysis (the methodology was tested on the example of the Chukotka Autonomous Region).

The article identifies and substantiates the problems of the development of the transport infrastructure of the largest city (for example, the city of Yekaterinburg). The examples are considered and the ways of solving a number of work production issues are proposed. It was concluded that the way out of the current situation is impossible without the use of administrative resources and the exact implementation of the strategic development plan of the city.

The article examines the dependence of the “smart home” technology on the technical capabilities of the engineering infrastructure. Home automation ideas have been evolving since the early 20th century. However, this technology is not widespread yet due to a number of features of the system. We consider the dependence of the reliability of the system on the characteristics of external power grids. There are technological developments in housing construction sphere that make it possible to maximize the satisfaction of the needs of residents. At the same time, the irrational distribution of capacities, the unpredictability (for operating organizations) of territorial development plans, and increased consumer demands hinder the use of modern technologies.
