Axiological Preferences of Residents of the Karelian Arctic in the Modern Sociocultural Situation
Journal Title: Arctic and North - Year 2020, Vol 41, Issue 41
Abstract
The study aims to identify the hierarchy of value dominants in the axiosphere of the Karelian Arc-tic residents, which has developed under the influence of natural, social, economic, and cultural-historical factors. The methodology used is complex and includes sociological, economic questionnaires, focus groups, and in-depth interviews. The study’s cameral stage is based on an analysis of the empirical stage results conducted during a comprehensive scientific expedition of scientists of Petrozavodsk State Universi-ty to two Arctic regions of Karelia in the summer of 2019. The most important in the study is the cross-cultural approach, based on comparing the results of a survey of respondents - the Karelian Arctic residents with the “general cultural profile” of S. Schwartz and identifying the level of validity of the applied psycho-logical methodology. During the study, the author’s hypothesis about features in the axiological prefer-ences of the inhabitants of the Arctic zone at the level of dominant indicators is confirmed. At the stage of analysis and synthesis of the empirical stage results, the relationship of preserving human capital in the Arctic regions of Karelia with the identified value dominants of residents’ health and safety is established. Special attention is paid to the influence of the current socio-cultural situation on the formation of the axi-osphere of the inhabitants of the Arctic zone, and the conclusion is also made about the need for an inte-grated scientific approach in determining the prospects for the development of society in the Arctic re-gions.
