Ways of forming and developing isolated local societies

Abstract

A phenomenological concept of ways for the local communities’ formation
and development is proposed. «Model object» is spatially isolated communities. Such communities experience minimal external impacts for a long time. Including they have a low level of migration. Three ways of forming isolated communities are described. They are due to the ethnic composition of the groups of first settlers: Russian or mixed. Two ways of development of such communities are substantiated. The first way is development according
to the type of agglomeration: one-time or sequential “gluing” of ethnically and/or territorially heterogeneous groups of inhabitants while maintaining territorial disunity and heterogeneity
of ethnic composition. The second way is development according to the type of agglutination: the successive «layering» of newly arriving groups of migrants on the autochthonous population with their subsequent assimilation.
