Prospective large-scale projects for the development of the Arctic territories point to the need to identify and quantify the consequences that affect the socioeconomic situation and different aspects of population life in this unique macroregion. The purpose of the study is a new understanding of the problem of developing the Arctic territories and searching of effective mechanisms for adapting the Arctic population to changing conditions. Basis of the study is idea of assessing the impact of socioeconomic and environmental consequences of industrial development of the Arctic territories through the transformation of the way of life and health of the Arctic man as the main consumer of Arctic natural resources, as the initiator of development of Arctic territories and as the object of influence of these consequences. On the basis of the theoretical research authors propose the classification of approaches to the concept of a way of life and disclose the content of the way of life depending on the role of man in the Arctic. The author's typology of the consequences of industrial development of the Arctic territories is developed. Typology is based on such criteria as the scale and direction of influence, the source of the impact and the time period, the possibility of diagnostics and state regulation. The perspective influence of these consequences on the lifestyle and health of permanent residents and labor migrants is characterized. The obtained theoretical results will form the basis for working out of methodological approaches to assessing the integrated impact of industrial development on the socioecological and economic system of the Arctic territories through indicators of the transformation of the way of life and health of the population.
