Abstract
As a result of the work carried out, the main factors influencing on the formation of the technogenic load in the Arctic territories of the Krasnoyarsk Region were considered, taking into account natural and climatic features. On the basis of Bayesian networks, a methodology has been developed for assessing the probability of the occurrence of man-made hazards, followed by an assessment of the complex risk using the official statistics of the Russian Emergencies Ministry for the period 1996-2020. The obtained quantitative estimates made it possible to identify the main factors influencing on the formation of the man-made load in the Arctic territories.
Keywords: technogenic safety, territorial risk, Arctic territories, Bayesian networks
I. Introduction
The problem of the risks of catastrophic processes is particularly acute for Siberia and the Arcti territories, where there is a wide range of threats of various nature, and, at the same time, the main points of growth Russian economic potential are outlined. Under these conditions, the issues of social, natural and technogenic safety are of paramount importance, since they determine the prospects for the territories development. This gives unconditional relevance to research in the field of risks, methods for their assessment and mitigation of negative consequences.
The specificity of territorial development management is characterized, on the one hand, by a large amount of infrastructural, environmental, economic and social information, and on the other hand, by the lack of effective methods for its processing and a unified structured information space in the monitoring field. In addition, the amount and content of information required for sound scientific support of decisions is changing rapidly.
The technological development of Siberian territories and the growth of industry have a negative impact on environmental and social security and form a number of problems that may affect the region and the development of the country as a whole. The Krasnoyarsk Region is the largest industrial entity in the Siberian Federal District, the Arctic zone of which includes all the territories of the Taimyr Dolgano-Nenetsky municipal district, the northern parts of the Turukhansky district (where the city of Igarka is located), the Evenki municipal district, and the

urban district of Norilsk [1]. Despite the uniqueness of the Arctic zone of the Krasnoyarsk
Territory and the harsh natural and climatic conditions, objects that are sources of high
technogenic load are operated: fire and explosion hazardous objects, radiation hazardous objects,
hydrodynamic hazardous objects, transport routes, public utility systems, chemically hazardous
objects, etc.
For the effective management of the Arctic territories and the analysis of integrated security, it is proposed to use methods and risk criteria. Quantitative values of risks characterizing the formation and implementation of hazardous processes and events are proposed as safety criteria.
II. Methods
To establish cause-and-effect relationships of technogenic risk factors, it is advisable to use the apparatus of Bayesian trust networks.
Bayesian networks are graphical models of events and processes based on the combination of the mathematical apparatus of probability theory and graph theory [2-4]. Bayesian networks are a convenient tool for describing fairly complex processes and events with uncertainties. The main idea of building a graphical model is associated with the concept of modularity, that is, the decomposition of a complex system into simple elements. Such a graph-theoretical approach to building a model makes it possible to take into account processes with many interacting variables, as well as to create data structures for the subsequent development of effective algorithms for their evaluation and decision making.
The Bayesian belief network is a directed acyclic graph. The graph is written as a set of independence conditions: each variable is independent of its main event, under such conditions the probability of a vertex event will be calculated using the total probability formula (1). If event A can occur only when one of the events Bi, B2 ... Bn, which form a complete group of incompatible events, occurs, then the probability of event A is calculated by formula (1):
(1)
In the case if the distribution goes from the child vertex to the main vertex, the Bayes formula (2) will be used. Let Hi, H2... be a complete group of events, and A be some event whose probability is positive. Then the conditional probability that the event Hk took place, if the event A was observed as a result of the experiment, can be calculated using the Bayes formula (2):
p(Hk U) -
(2)
III. Results
As mentioned above, Bayesian network risk assessment begins with the construction of a graph. Figure 1 shows an acyclic directed graph of the occurrence of a technogenic risk.
The column considers 6 groups of factors of technogenic hazardous events due to the peculiarities of economic activity in the Arctic zone of the Krasnoyarsk Region. The main peak is represented directly by a dangerous man-made event. Child vertices represent groups of factors that are the cause of this event. Each group, in turn, contains a specific version of the development of an event. The results of calculating the probabilities of hazardous events are presented in Table 1.

Table 2 shows that the greatest contribution to the occurrence of a technogenic hazardous event is made by fire and explosion hazardous objects, especially household fires and at facilities with a mass stay of people.
In order to detail the indicators of the occurrence of man-made emergencies in the territory of the Arctic zone in the Krasnoyarsk Region, the probability of a hazardous event occurring is calculated for each territorial entity (Table 2).

where Pi is the probability of occurrence of a certain risk factor; Ut is damage from a certain risk factor, million rubles (data obtained from the official database of the EMERCOM of Russia).
For the Arctic territories, a complex risk is determined for each technogenic factor (table 3). The main risk is associated with domestic fires and accidents in transport (air and river).

IV. Discussion
The management of a territorial entity should be based on an assessment of the complex technogenic risk and the identification of the most dangerous factors that require special attention and control.
The development of urbanized territories requires new approaches to management tasks. The problems of increasing risks both for the life and health of the population and for the state of the environment are associated with an increase in anthropogenic impact. In both cases, qualitative and quantitative assessments of the risk of adverse situations and impacts become a key task, the solution of which determines the quality and effectiveness of the development and implementation of management decisions to protect the population and the environment.
