Abstract

The article considers the settlements of the Taimyr-Yakut borderland: the villages of Saskylakh and Yuryung-Khaya of the Anabar national (Dolgan-Evenki) ulus (district), the village of Zhilinda of the Olenek Evenki National District of Sakha Republic (Yakutia) and the settlements included in the rural settlement of Khatanga of the Taimyr Dolgan-Nenets municipal district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory: Popigay and Syndassko. The eastern part of Taimyr and the northwest of Yakutia is the territory of the Dolgan and Evenk ethnic groups—the indigenous peoples of the Arctic. Until the 1930s, this region was a single administrative region. According to the results of field work carried out in 2020–2022. It was found that despite the absence of official transport networks, communication between the local communities of the studied settlements did not stop. Interaction is carried out by informal roads, which are winter roads, along which the local population rides snowmobiles. The following inter-settlement interactions have been established: Yuryung-Khaya–Syndassko, Saskylakh–Popigay, Saskylakh–Zhilinda, Popigay–Zhilinda. The following types of interaction of local communities have been identified: labor activity, family ties, sale/exchange of reindeer and fish, buying of consumer goods and food, of fuel and leisure. In the study, using GIS technologies, the inter-settlement interaction of the studied settlements was mapped using ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online. The created geoinformation database is updated with information about the types of interaction, thematic layers are formed, a legend and design are developed. The map showing inter-settlement relations of border local communities contributes to the identification and systematic analysis of sectoral and territorial disproportions, contributes to ensuring the effective organization of productive forces, planning and forecasting of the situation.
