Multiscale Analysis of the Dynamics in Reindeer Herding in Arctic Regions: Geographical Shifts and Intraregional and Local Differences
Abstract The article presents a multiscale analysis of domesticated reindeer herding in Arctic regions. The analysis revealed factors that have the strongest effect on the dynamics of reindeer livestock at different spatial levels (international, national, and regional) and determined the causes of...

The analysis revealed factors that have the strongest effect on the dynamics of reindeer livestock at different spatial levels (international, national, and regional) and determined the causes of geographical shifts in domesticated reindeer herding toward the western tundra zone and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug’s loss of its leading position in number of domesticated reindeer in the post-Soviet period.

Based on field research data collected on regional farms in rural localities or villages of Neshkan, Konergino, and Tavaivaam, we studied in detail local characteristics of development of the industry. It has been inferred that during years of economic crisis, trends in head of reindeer in Chukotka were in sync with the overall economic situation in the country at all spatial levels, although the correlation was not as strong during years of economic stability. Within the industry, intraregional and local contrasts and differences become more pronounced during crisis, and, conversely, subside during a period of stability and growth. reindeer herding, domesticated reindeer livestock dynamics, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, geographical shifts, intraregional and local differences, transformation factors Article in Journal/Newspaper Arctic Chukotka Chukotka Autonomous Okrug Tundra RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) Arctic Konergino ENVELOPE(-178.846,-178.846,65.902,65.902) Neshkan ENVELOPE(-172.964,-172.964,67.038,67.038) |
