MAPPING HISTORICALAND CULTURAL HERITAGE SITES IN PLACES OF TRADITIONAL RESIDENCE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE NORTH OF YAKUTIA

Abstract

In order to preserve the historical and cultural heritage for the sustainable development of the territories of indigenous peoples of the North in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), the GIS “Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Indigenous Peoples of the North in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)” was compiled. The created project provides a solution to the problems of preserving, visualizing and providing access to information on historical and cultural heritage sitesfor further research, research projects and ethnological examination in the areas where the indigenous peoples of the North live. The presence of various thematic layers in the GIS allows us to identify places where the interests of the indigenous population and industrial companies coincide. Thematic maps compiled on the basis of a spatial analysis of the current state of the monuments can be used not only when developing programs for a set of measures for the socio-economic and ethnocultural development of districts, but also as cartographic support for ethnological expertise to provide compensation payments.
