Abstract

The paper considers the spatial development of the Republic of Tyva as a problem of the social and economic development of the region. This issue can be resolved with respect to cultural values of the indigenous population of the republic, who accoubt for more than 80% of its total population. More specifically, the ethnocultural component should be placed in the context of economic interpretation of spatial development. The focus is made on value-driven economic behavior. Such analysis makes it possible to identify the reasons for the economic behavior of most of the population and to indicate peculiarities of the modern ethnoeconomic structure of Tuva. Therefore, this approach is heuristic for developing strategies for spatial development of the region.

The research is based on the data of a sociological survey of Tuvan youth conducted in Tuva in 2012 by representatives of the Novosibirsk school of ethnosociology under the supervision of Yu. V. Popkov. The data analysis is based on the author's reimagination of some parameters of culture  as developed by G. Hofstede. Therefore, we can categorize the culture of Tuvan youth value system as collectivist-oriented, feminine, with a high degree of avoiding uncertainty.

The analysis made it possible to complement the portrait of Tuva with features that are important both for identifying its sociocultural peculiarities and for solving the problem of how to take account of the ethnocultural component within the general socioeconomic development of Russia’s constituent subjects. The article emphasizes that identification of sociocultural peculiarities helps locate potential “growth areas” for the programs of economic development of specific regions. Also formulated are some recommendations concerning the characteristics of institutional ethics and details of enterprise management in Tuva.
