Abstract
Aim. To identify the most important factors in the transformation of ethnocultural space and population identity through the example of a multicultural trans-border region.Materials and Methods. This research vector provides possibilities to consider this issue in line with the well-known ideas of L. N. Gumilyov regarding the adaptation of ethnic groups to landscapes, as well as to apply an analysis algorithm based on the study of various forms of interethnic contacts and ethnic processes. The author's data from field expedition research, including sociological surveys of the population (more than three thousand people on both sides of the Russian-Kazakh border), interviews, expert assessments, including observation, mapping, etc. have been used. Historical sources, as well as archival documents and existing cartographic materials from various times, have been analysed.Results. Ethno-cultural groups interact with each other and adapt to landscapes, as a result of these processes ethnic cultures acquire common features and regional specificities. These factors have been evaluated and features of interethnic interaction between migrants and the autochthonous population as well as transformation of the ethno-cultural space are revealed. The speed of transformation is influenced by historical, geopolitical, psychological and economic factors. The article is illustrated with specific examples. Geographical aspects of transformation of ethno-cultural identity as the main marker of ethnic culture in trans-border regions have been consideredConclusion. The most important factors of ethno-cultural space and regional identity transformation are adaptation in landscapes, intercultural interaction, migration, change of ethnic composition of the population and divergence as a consequence of delimitation.

Усиление барьерной функции российско‐казахстанской границы, произошедшее по‐ сле распада Советского Союза, уже привело к затрудне‐ нию для населения трансграничных контактов и запуску процессов этнического разделения и может в конечном итоге привести к этнической трансформации одних и тех же этнокультурных групп по обе стороны границы ‐ не только дивергенции, но и сепарации

Summary
Роль ландшафтов в формировании этнической культуры, внутренних этнических различий и межэтни‐ ческого сходства признается исследователями разных направлений. Крылов [1] определил регио‐ нальную идентичность как системную совокупность культурных связей, связанных с понятием «малая роди‐ на», а также с внутренним образом территории. В ко‐ нечном итоге региональные этнические контакты ин‐ тенсифицируются, что приводит к формированию устойчивых пространственных связей.
