Abstract

The article focuses on spatial identity of inhabitants of the North from the humanistic standpoint in terms of northern territories exploration. Based on the sociological research conducted in the Arkhangelsk Region, we revealed adaptive peculiarities and ability to migrate of different groups of citizens. The low level of social development of a territory and not severe climatic conditions proved to be the key factor in migration activity.
