In order to assess the impact of the industrial development of the Arctic territories on the traditional way of life of the local population and identify problem points of interaction, a sociological survey of the indigenous population of the village of Olenek of the Olenek Evenk national region of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was carried out. The survey was conducted from 21 to 24 December 2020 using the group situational survey method. The opinion of the indigenous population living in the territories of traditional nature management of the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) about the influence of the activities of subsoil users on their root way of life and traditional activities has been revealed. The results of the survey showed that, while recognizing the benefits of the presence of industrial enterprises, nevertheless, the indigenous population has a negative attitude to the industrial development of their territories. Based on the survey and analysis of scientific literature, the article identifies the main concerns of the population, which will improve the existing mechanisms for compensation for damage.
