Towards a methodic for the study of cultural consumption in the context of the socio-cultural space of the Russian Arctic

Most of the sociological research in the field of culture is devoted to the historical and cultural heritage, cultural traditions, and culture of the indigenous peoples of the North, while the cultural needs of the population are practically not measured by researchers. The research topic of this work is the socio-cultural space of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, which is being formed as a result of the influence of external and internal factors of the region.
Economic sociology highlights the relationship between the level of cultural consumption and the development of labor resources, which is carried out through the mechanisms of socialization, the formation of human capital and social reproduction. Cultural consumption is one of the factors in the formation of human capital.
The study was conducted using a three-level methodology for classifying the components of socio-cultural space, developed in the Laboratory of Problems of territorial development of the FCIARctic, with the participation of the authors of this article.
At the moment, the first (intelligence) stage of the study of this technique has been implemented. During the study, the structure of cultural consumption was analyzed based on the cultural needs of the population, as well as significant cultural events, events and institutions in Arkhangelsk. Among the most frequently visited institutions in the city, the Drama Theater is in the first and second place in the responses of informants, and museums are in third place (in general, without specifying). Naming the most striking urban cultural events of the past year, most of the informants equally highlighted the Street Theater Festival and the White June Festival. Also, such events as Museum Night, City Day and Victory Day were the leaders in the ratings of the respondents.
According to the informants, the most recognizable sights of the city of Arkhangelsk are Gostiny Dvory, Malye Kareli, the Monument to the Savior Seal, the High–rise (Building of design organizations), the Embankment of the Northern Dvina. According to the informants, 60% of the informants rated the cultural assessment as "good," "satisfactory," and "excellent," as rated by 20% of the respondents.
