The article finds that the regional space of Arctic Karelia is characterized mainly by negative trends of social and economic processes. Conclusions. The interrelation of regions necessary for creating a unified social and economic space in Arctic Karelia and mitigating local issues is limited due to the weak development of transport infrastructure in most municipalities.
