The authors consider the importance of the transport factor in the development of new territories and formation and functioning of territorial socio-economic systems in the East of the Arctic zone of Russia. Transport links are primary in the development of socio-economic systems, since mastering of a territory and the formation of the corresponding territorial systems begin with them. The features of the natural resource potential of the East of the Arctic zone of Russia as the basis of its economic activity are highlighted. In this regard, a certain similarity was noted between the regions of the Arctic zone of Russia in their industrial production specialization i.e. mining of non-ferrous and precious metals are present in all regions. The basic functions of all modes of transport for the East of the Arctic zone of Russia are shown. The specific role of transport factors in mastering of natural resources in the Arctic regions is also recognized. To ensure integrated long-term (sustainable) development of the East of the Arctic zone, it is proposed to consider a promising option for the construction of the Arctic Railway from the Anadyr and Beringovsky settlements along the Arctic coast to Tiksi, Norilsk, and Novy Urengoy. The proposed Arctic railway will become a powerful regional factor. On the one hand, it will have a great impact on the development of supporting economic centers on the coast, both existing and new. On the other hand, it will sharply increase the adaptive potential of the population living in this zone. At the same time, effective complementarity of the developing Northern Sea Route by rail can be achieved. All that will become important prerequisites for the long-term development of the Arctic zone of Russian Far East.

作者考虑了运输因素在俄罗斯北极地区东部新领土的发展以及领土社会经济系统的形成和运作中的重要性。交通联系在社会经济系统的发展中是首要的，因为对领土的掌握和相应领土系统的形成是从它们开始的。强调了俄罗斯北极地区东部作为其经济活动基础的自然资源潜力特征。在这方面，俄罗斯北极地区在其工业生产专业化方面存在一定的相似性，即所有地区都存在有色金属和贵金属的开采。显示了俄罗斯北极地区东部所有运输方式的基本功能。运输因素在控制北极地区自然资源方面的特殊作用也得到了认可。为确保北极东部地区的长期（可持续）综合发展，建议考虑建设从北极沿岸的阿纳德尔和别林戈夫斯基定居点到提克西、诺里尔斯克和诺维的北极铁路。乌连戈伊。拟议中的北极铁路将成为一个强大的区域因素。一方面，它将对沿海现有和新的配套经济中心的发展产生重大影响。另一方面，它将大大提高居住在该区域的人口的适应潜力。同时，铁路与正在发展的北海航线可以实现有效互补。
