Abstract: Abstract The article presents the results of an analysis of the regional legislative framework for development of the Arctic in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The main directions of regional regulation of socioeconomic development of Arctic territories are: support for the indigenous population, regulation of the presence of subsoil users within the powers of the region and development of the social sphere. At the same time, insufficient attention is paid to programs for the development of entrepreneurship and increase in employment of the resident population. The relationship between the local, including the indigenous, population and subsoil users is built mainly within the framework of compensatory interaction; the relationship with the state is subsidy-based. Regional policy is oriented more towards implementing megaprojects and megaprograms without involving local residents in the industrial development of territories. To determine the strategic vector for development of the Asian Arctic, it is important to find common ground in the interests and opportunities for interaction of all participants: authorities at all levels, subsoil user companies, and the population of Arctic regions, while paying attention to the systematization of regulatory legal acts and their complexity.
