The article deals with the problems of conflict prevention during mining at the regional level. These issues are currently particularly acute in connection with the development of natural resources in the Arctic regions of Russia. The current support measures do not meet the expectations of the population. In this paper, the authors propose to conduct a preliminary assessment of the priorities of the criteria from the position of the local population, to assess the degree of implementation of these criteria by the proposed projects, and then, based on the priorities of compensation projects, to carry out multivariate calculations on the basis of the proposed optimization model. The optimization model makes it possible to find the optimal set of projects, according to the criterion of maximizing the total priority, taking into account the restrictions on the amount of funding. Varying the amount of funding within the limits established in the analysis of the initial data allows us to find out the reduction of the conflict severity in the implementation of optimal sets of compensation projects. The system of models and methods presented in the article was implemented by the authors in the MS-Excel — VBA system, which allowed to make calculations for the formation of the optimal set of projects of environmentally oriented development. The main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used as a methodological basis and practical basis for the justification and selection of compensation projects in order to reduce the severity of environmental and social conflicts.
