Historical and synergetic analysis of the urbanization in Khanty-Mansi Okrug in the 1960-1990-s
In this article the urbanization processes of Khanty-Mansi Okrug in the period of oil and gas development of the West Siberia in the 2nd half of XX century are analyzed in terms of historical-synergetic analysis. Using the spatiotemporal organization of the laws of synergetics as the basis, the author builds an urbanization model of the region. This concept shows urbanization as an open and self-organizing system. Noticeable is the dynamics of the urbanization model: the presence of point and phase of the bifurcation in the 1950-1960s, which was characterized by fluctuations, chaotic structure and self-organization “bottom”; the period of the attractor in the 1970s - early 1990s with a linear and quantitative indicators of sustainable urbanization; the return of the unstable state of the system in the 1990s. The author reveals the spatial dimension of the region’s urbanization: the system’s territorial self-organization from the villages and departmental urban-type settlements to complex multi-level agglomeration; dissipativity of the system through large-scale migration in support of the city and wider dissemination of the watch-based method of labor organization.
