Abstract

Fundamental differences in geographical conditions, historical and contemporary economic, social and cultural peculiarities of various territories show significant heterogeneity, inequality and nonlinearity of spatial–temporal development districts, regions, states other territorial formations including vast parts of Siberia. A deeper understanding of local internal and global external conditions impacts on forming stages, trends and different vectors of territorial development is achieved by considering environmental factors in these processes The research analyzes not only economic and investment processes and resource cycles but also shifts in cultural and social values. The chapter illustrates the opportunities of theoretical-mathematical approaches and models and qualitative comparative-geographical methods for studying the geocultural development heterogeneity and nonlinearity of Siberia. The methods reveal stagnant and active states of socio-economic systems, their stereotypic and innovative behavior models, different cyclic and fluctuation processes and give them geographical and historical definition. A fundamental factor of heterogeneity forming and nonlinear development is an activity that is demonstrated with the example of different nature-economic complexes and differentiation of territorial management modes in Siberia. Herewith the role of natural and geographical as well as geohistorical development factors remains leading. The same factors are essential for the organization of ethnical nature management for indigenous population that is shown as the example of a local community lifestyle at the Uimonskaya depression. In current conditions, nonlinear and heterogenic territorial development character allows both to different ethnos keeping their traditions and modern postindustrial economic society to coexist harmoniously. However, it does not bring any distinctness in the economic modes of different territorial systems. The result showed that different territories are at different economic development stages in terms of their types such as resource economy, investment economy and innovation economy. Several economic behavior trends of regional economics are determined according to the types. It is mainly raw (resource) and transitional behavior types for the Siberian regions. They are associated with a certain stereotypical way of conducting economic activity when even creating technical, technological, infrastructural and other conditions is not enough to factor for the successful implementation of innovations.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Socio-economic characteristics from the reports of the State Statistics of Russian Federation from 2000 to 2015.

Abbreviations

Regional heterogeneity :

differences in the character of spatial–temporal socio-economic development of territories of the same hierarchical level (regions, states, etc.) that connected with geographical, historical, economic, cultural and other factors of environment.

Mountain ethnogeosystem :

a type of territorial social systems, representing a part of the geographical environment formed as a result of the interaction of natural and socio-ethnic subsystems. Mountain geosystems are the natural subsystem, and the ethnosystem is the social-ethnic one. The contact zone of the subsystems determines the features of nature management system (Klimov 2006; Lubenets 2010; Zavyalova 2004).

Geosystem :

a special kind of material system consisting of interdependent geographical components interrelated in their location and developing in time as a part of the whole (Isachenko 1980; Sochava 1978); in application to mountainous areas it receives a leading aspect of the study related to the geographical features of mountain depressions.

Ethnosystem :

a historically formed group of people with common ethnic features and relations (language, components of culture, religion, ethnic knowledge of the environment, etc.), acting as an autonomous unit of society. The ethnosystem is most often based on the one “system-forming” ethnos, which may be in close connection with other ethnic groups (subethnic groups) occupying a certain “ethnic” territory (Gumilev 2004; Klimov 2006).

Mountain-depression geosystems :

an independent class of geosystems, the general features of which are: a negative form of relief, isolation or almost closure and clear isolation, very dry and continental climate compared to the environment, the presence of a drier version of the landscape of this zone (Fadeeva 1996).

System of mountain ethno-nature management :

a historically and genetically interrelated natural-economic organization of space, the system-forming components of which are mountain geosystems and ethnic communities, which develop the territories in their cultural traditions and forms of farming (Lubenets 2009; Ragulina 2000).
