Abstract

— With the modernization of society, there is an increase in the number of factors of heterogeneity of the seasonality of socioeconomic phenomena in rural areas. In the article, taking into account the Russian specifics of rural areas (including a particular place in the evolution of rural areas of the population’s dacha and seasonal labor migrations), the factors of spatial differentiation of the seasonality of the life of the rural population are identified with a case study of the Chuvash Republic: a multiethnic region with late-onset urbanization and an increased share of rural population. Seasonality is considered from three aspects: (1) intra-annual fluctuations in the rural population; (2) employment of the rural population; (3) daily economic activity of villagers. The information base was a dataset of information collected during the preparatory and field stages of the study. The preparatory stage involved the preliminary acquisition and processing of statistical material on the municipalities of the Chuvash Republic; the field stage involved application of predominantly qualitative sociological methods when visiting key settlements. It was revealed that as the rural areas move away from the urban agglomeration of the regional center, the off-season differences in the amount of the rural population fade. Because the seasonal features of the life of rural residents are not the same, typical seasonal life cycles of villagers were identified: (1) a rural resident employed in subsistence farming, (2) a shift worker, and (3) a summer resident. The seasonality of the life of the resident population in large villages with central functions is almost universally weak, while in small settlements, manifestations of seasonality are intense and diverse. In this case, locally expressed features of villages can be decisive. In conclusion, a cautious assumption is made in relation to the rural areas of the Chuvash Republic: the more peripheral the geographical position of rural municipalities with a predominance of Chuvashs in the population, the starker the traditional rural way of life with its characteristic seasonality of life can manifest itself within them.
