The Spatial Transformation of Natural Resource Utilization and Associated Social and Ecological Problems: A Field Study on Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East

Abstract: Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East have traditionally been seen as a vast storehouse of natural resource wealth to be developed for the benefit of the Russian Federation. This article investigates the social and ecological problems that face potentially rich but sparsely populated regions. The article is based on numerous field trips to the two regions between 2001 and 2007. We find that processes aimed at mitigating the negative impacts of resource utilization are weak and that the federal government ta… Show more

“…What is remarkable about our model of the third spatial regime of Siberia is that this globalization of the economic flows, accompanied by a consequent globalization of the flows of distribution, refining and commercialization, generates a trans-scalar urban fabric that does not correspond with internal regional development. In fact, in some aspects, it corresponds with underdevelopment (Litvinenko and Murota 2006). We see in this regard the full impact of capitalist processes of scalar structuring (Smith: 2008(Smith: [1984).…”

“…From 1990 to 2006, oil production in the area increased by 235%, while the overall production in Russia decreased by 7%. Yet, this intensification of oil production has been paralleled by a regional demographic loss far greater than the national one (-8.98% in East Siberia and − 0.69% in Russia) and also associated with a decline in economic diversity (Litvinenko and Murota 2006). This situation has led, in its most extreme cases, to the abandonment and even demolishment of existing Soviet agglomerations.…”

“…Ядовитые отходы добычи кобальта из хранилища попадают в реки, где их концентрация (в частности мышьяка) в десятки раз превышает предельно допустимую норму. Большую тревогу у местных жителей и администрации Алданского района Якутии вызывают цианиды в отходах ликвидированной Лебединской золотоизвлекательной фабрики [19].…”

“…По мнению администрации города Дальнегорска, компании ГМК "Дальполиметалл" и ГХК "Бор" помогают поддерживать социальную инфраструктуру, хотя масштабы участия не сопо- Компания "Сахалин Энерджи" для предотвращения негативного отношения местного населения к освоению энергетических ресурсов шельфа острова Сахалин с 2006 г. осуществляет "План содействия развитию коренных малочисленных народов Севера Сахалина" [9]. Ресурсы, выделяемые компанией на программы поддержки коренных малочисленных народов, намного превышают те, которые расходует администрация Сахалинской области на эти цели [19]. Таким образом, сотрудничество органов власти и предприятий ресурсопользования способствует совместному решению социальных проблем и социальному развитию территорий.…”
