“…Meanwhile, against the current Arctic economic growth, the problem of the elimination of the accumulated environmental damage has not been resolved yet. As a result, the extent of degradation of arctic soils is becoming critical, causing increasing degradation of natural ecosystems (Medvedeva & Vakula, 2016).…”

In recent years, significant efforts have been made to accelerate the economic development of the Arctic zone, leading to intense environmental pollution of this region, accompanied by the significant impact of accumulated environmental damage in the region. The solution to these problems is difficult due to the remoteness of these areas and severe climatic conditions. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the potential for restoration of arctic soils. For this purpose, various indicators are used, including biological ones. In the analyzed arctic soil samples, high concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons (up to 47,000 mg/kg) and chloride-ions (0.10–0.14 wt %) were established. Microbioassay demonstrated a presence of hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms: Penicillium, Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas oleovorans. A low enzymatic activity and specific Arctic climate point out a low self-restoration ability of the soil, demonstrated the need for its remediation. The microbioassay with microbial strains identification and soil remediation methods suitable for the Arctic zone were recommended.

The aim of the work is to develop program support for selection procedures for environmentally oriented investment projects, including the calculation of traditional criteria for the effectiveness of the project, additional environmental criteria for the effectiveness of projects, application of methods for prioritizing projects and their selection with the use of modern information technologies. The article reveals the essence and features of environmentally oriented investment. A system of criteria for assessing the effectiveness of environmentally oriented investment projects has been developed. The conceptual bases of creating an information system for calculating the financial, budgetary, economic, social and environmental indicators of investment projects and their effectiveness, as well as assessing their priority, are proposed for consideration. Calculations of the priority of investment projects were carried out on the basis of the information system developed by the authors using multicriteria analysis methods. As a result, each of the criteria for the effectiveness of the investment project is given a specific quantitative value, and each investment project is a quantitative assessment of the priority of the project, which allows using the results of calculations to select projects and make managerial decisions on their implementation. The proposed information system can be a tool for adopting an effective environmentally oriented economic solution. The conducted experimental calculations showed the adequacy of the developed information system to the existing subject area. The Federal Service for Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks of the Russian Federation issued a certificate on the official registration of the computer program for the developed software product.
