Abstract
The article examines the impact of the processes of new industrial development of natural resources of the North on the socio-economic conditions and prospects for long-term development of municipal districts. Particular attention is paid to the problems of administrative management of these territories in the context of the concept of sustainable development, which is especially relevant for resource regions, since with all the benefits received by different actors, an economy based on exhaustible natural resources is limited in development and causes significant damage to the natural environment. The purpose of the article is to determine the features of administrative management in the areas of new industrial development, including the identification of problems and benefits of socio-economic development of Northern municipalities in the context of sustainable development. The research was carried out on the example of the territories of new industrial development of oil and gas resources in the North of the Irkutsk region. The article is based on the materials of field socio-geographical studies conducted in Katangskii, Kirensk and Ust-Kutskii municipal districts in February and March 2022. The results of field research are supplemented with data from territorial statistics and materials from strategic planning documents, municipal programs, reports of administrations on the socio-economic development of the studied territories. Comparative geographical and statistical methods, as well as general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis are used in the work. It is revealed that the active development of the oil and gas industry in the Northern districts of the Irkutsk region has a positive effect on the dynamics of revenues of district budgets, but, nevertheless, they remain dependent on higher budget systems. The most effective formation of the revenue part of budgets in connection with industrial works is revealed in rural settlements in the territories of which hydrocarbons are extracted, despite the self-sufficiency of these local budgets, the formation of a stable base for long-term development of settlements is limited by the narrow powers of local administrations. As a result, a list of the main problems hindering the effective administrative management of the long-term socio-economic development of the northern municipalities at the local level has been form.
