Optimization of transport development of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) territory
Abstract
Long distances are a barrier to the development of mineral resources of the Far North. The problem could be solved by creating transport corridors (development axes), which, together with the poles of growth, will form a spatial and economic framework of the territory, considered to provide an additional spatial stimulus for economic activities. In this case, the poles of growth will be territorial combinations of natural resources, classified by the priority of importance (value) and most favorably located in relation to the transport axes.
By the example of a typical region of the Far North, i. e. the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), with all its inherent problems associated with extremely unfavorable natural conditions that complicate the continuous development of the territory, calculations were made to assess a large number of territorial combinations of mineral resources for all administrative districts and rank them according to the values received. The development of sufficient transport infrastructure required for their successful development will take a long time. A more efficient solution of the problem will be possible if an ideally located transport hub is created at equal distances from all other settlements of the republic. The position of such transport center, which has the smallest sum of distances to all other regional centers of the republic, was calculated using the haversine formula. Comparison of the mineral resource potential of the regions of the republic and the transport accessibility of their administrative centers made it possible to identify the territories with the highest priority for development. The received recommendations are supported by the analysis of the level of socio-economic development of the regions of the republic.
