The article defines the concept of transport accessibility of the territory, examines the existing methods for assessing transport accessibility. The reasons that do not allow using the existing methods of assessing transport accessibility in relation to the areas of the Arctic zone were identified. Statistical methods such as transport network density per 1000 square kilometers of territory, per 1000 inhabitants; Engel, Goltz, Uspensky, Vasilevsky coefficients; methods of topological analysis of transport networks; methods of spatial analysis and delimitation of transport networks; methods of potentials and balance methods have been considered as existing methods of transport accessibility assessment. Based on the analysis of the state of networks of different types of transport and the survey of the local population, the main reasons that limit transport accessibility of these territories have been identified. These reasons include: the lack of railway service, the lack of roads for year-round use, the high cost of passenger intra-regional air transportation, the low regularity of flights, and the limited regular route network of existing airlines. Taking into account these factors, the paper proposes a methodology for assessing the transport accessibility of the regions of the Arctic zone in terms of the organization of passenger transportation, which is based on the calculation of the full cost of all correspondence from a particular area to all other considered areas of the region per 1 km of distance between them. The full cost of transportation is calculated as the direct costs of purchasing tickets for transportation, the cost of waiting time for connecting flights, and the waiting time for flight delays due to weather conditions. The cost of waiting time is estimated based on the calculation of the average cost of accommodation for one day in Yakutsk.
