Social Habitus of the Kursk Region Population: Structure and Regional Features
Abstract
The relevance of the study is that understanding the "habitual" structure of the population makes it possible to plan government strategies and programs aimed at maintaining stability in the Russian political field.
The purpose is to determine the structure of social habitus of the Kursk region population.
Objectives: determination of the structure of the population’ dispositions orientation; determine the effective capitals of the studied sample; formation of the structure of the Kursk region population’ social habitus; representation of "digital" characteristics of the Kursk region population’ social habitus.
Methodology. The theoretical basis of the research is P. Bourdieu's theory of social space. The definition of social habitus was made on the author's approach, which consists in determining social habitus by comparing the orientation of the respondents’ main disposition and their effective capital.
The empirical basis of the article is the sociological study "The attitude of the population to the digital economy", carried out in February-May 2020 as part of the project "Russian digital economy as a social field".
Results. The existing structure of social habitus of the Kursk region population and their digital characteristics does not in the best way contribute to the progressive movement in the socio-economic development of the region.
Conclusions. It is practically impossible to change the habitus of the adult population, but the results of the study make it possible to take into account the regional features of the “habitual” structure when planning and developing federal, and, first of all, regional programs of socio-economic development.
