A STUDY OF THE ROLE OF COMMUNITIES IN THE FORMATION OF SOCIAL CAPITAL IN THE REGION’S CREATIVE ECONOMY: THE CASE OF KRASNOYARSK KRAI

 In the context of implementing Federal Law No. 330-FZ “On the Develop­ment of Creative Industries in the Russian Federation ", informal institutions, primarily professional and thematic communities, are acquiring special signi­ficance in the formation of social capital as a resource for regional deve­lopment. This study aims to identify the role and functions of such communities as institutions for the creation, mobilization, and conversion of social capital in the creative industries. The study empirically documents, for the first time, self-reported changes in key components of social capital (trust, networking, access to resources, emotional support) resulting from participation in commu­nities. Based on an online survey of 132 participants in the “PR-sreda" professional community and the thematic club “‘Women’s Territory" in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, it was found that the most pronounced effects are seen in the expansion of professional connections (+90.2%) and increased confidence in the ability to mobilize social resources through the use of other participants’ contacts (+87.9%); an increase in trust (+48.5%) was also re­corded. The results confirm that communities act not only as repositories but also as generative institutions of social capital, fulfilling both instrumental (networking, knowledge) and expressive (support, inclusion) functions, which makes them a strategically important asset for the development of the creative economy at the regional level.

EXPERIENCE OF TYPOLOGY OF MUNICIPALITIES IN EASTERN SIBERIA: COMBINING TERRITORIAL AND SECTORAL APPROACHES

 The aim of the study is to create a typology of municipal formations in the regions of Eastern Siberia for the purpose of assessing the impact of large investment projects on their socio-economic development; to compare the resulting types with existing typologies of the regions studied at the micro level, as well as with E.E. Leizerovich’s microdistricts. The author’s metho­dology takes into account both the characteristics of the territory (level of de­velopment, transport accessibility) and the characteristics of large investment projects being implemented there (focus – new construction or development of existing facilities, specialization).
The resulting typology showed that underdeveloped, difficult-to-access, and moderately accessible municipalities are characterized by raw material development – the development of new deposits or the expansion of production at existing deposits with a focus on exports. In developed areas, investments in fixed capital are more often directed towards the development of existing facilities, although most of them are also reoriented from the domestic market to exports. Examples of deepening raw material processing in underdeve­loped areas, as well as the start of mineral extraction in accessible developed areas, are few and far between.
Existing typologies often focus on factors of socio-economic development of territories and do not take into account the vector of their development, while the author’s typology is consistent with T.V. Litvinenko’s typology of resource use transformations, excluding options for the degradation of territorial and economic systems due to the author’s focus on new large-scale investment projects.

Internalization of Intolerance as a Risk to Regional Development

The article presents the findings of the research on interethnic relations in one of the largest regions of Russia. The paper shows the processes associated with the forms of socialization in a multinational state. It also presents the stance of those individuals who are intolerant to living in such a formation, as well as a social portrait of supporters and opponents of a multinational state. We consider the nature of relations with labor migrants' ethnic groups and state policy measures in this field. We determine the characteristics of interactions within the inner and outer circles, which are based on ethnicity. The article proves the presence of barriers to family relationships related to interethnic ones. The main elements of a potential ethnic conflict are described as follows: positions of participants, an image of an «enemy», and a subject of its deve­lopment. Based on mapping of the region, we show the locations of tension in interethnic relations. The study results clearly define four centers of such tension. Two of them are on the borders with other two Russian federal subjects. It is fraught with a potential contention, its growth and transformation into an interregional conflict. The feasibility of this risk is confirmed by the intensity of particular organizational activities in social media.
