We examine the methodological and practical issues related to the application of information technologies and space-based monitoring in ethnological examination of projects of Arctic industrial development. The necessity and prospects of using these technologies to assess the resource productivity of the territory are illustrated by the example of the project of the extraction of alluvial gold in the basin of the Mokrundya stream of the Srednekolymskii ulus (district) of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic. In particular, this is necessary for analyzing the distribution of dominant plant communities, determining the phytomass of pasture plants, stocks of wild plants, and reindeer grazing capacity, and for calculating the losses of the indigenous peoples of the North in the influence zone of the project. A geobotanical map of the study area is provided. It is also shown that the use of space-based monitoring in carrying out an ethnological examination of projects and determining the damage caused to the local population as a result of the impact on traditional land use practices (hunting, gathering wild plants, and reindeer husbandry) makes it possible to take an inventory of pasture lands of reindeer husbandry and reduce the cost of these projects in comparison with traditional methods (field surveys of the territory, and aerial imaging surveys). The possibilities of comparing interannual images can also provide insight into the dynamics of changes in the territory under the influence of anthropogenic activity and taking into account climatic transformations.

北极开发投资项目民族学审查中的信息技术

我们研究了与信息技术和天基监测在北极工业发展项目的民族学检查中的应用相关的方法和实践问题。萨哈（雅库特）Srednekolymskii ulus（地区）Mokrundya 流盆地的冲积金提取项目示例说明了使用这些技术评估该领土资源生产力的必要性和前景共和国。特别是，这对于分析优势植物群落的分布、确定牧草植物的植物群、野生植物种群和驯鹿放牧能力以及计算北方土著人民在影响区的损失是必要的。项目。提供了研究区的地质植物图。还表明，使用天基监测对项目进行民族学检查并确定由于对传统土地使用做法（狩猎、采集野生植物和驯鹿放牧）的影响而对当地居民造成的损害) 可以清点驯鹿放牧的牧场并与传统方法（领土实地调查和航空成像调查）相比降低这些项目的成本。比较年际图像的可能性还可以深入了解在人类活动影响下并考虑到气候变化的领土变化动态。
