Abstract

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the mechanisms of socio-cultural adaptation of migrants in the Republic of Bashkortostan. In the context of growing migration flows to the region, the integration of foreigners is of particular importance. The subject of this research is the social and cultural aspects of migrants' adaptation, including language barriers, differences in traditions and norms of behavior. The purpose of the study is to analyze the possibility of creating regional adaptation centers for migrants as a key tool for implementing migration policy. In recent years, the state policy has been aimed at expanding such centers as a platform for comprehensive support for foreigners. The relevance of the topic is due to the increase in the number of migrants to the Republic of Bashkortostan, differences in cultural and social practices between the local population and migrants. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the systematization of the existing experience of the Republic of Bashkortostan in this area and the development of recommendations corresponding to regional legal acts. The research methods include the analysis of data collected during the strategic session with the participation of experts, the synthesis of theoretical and practical developments, as well as the use of statistical methods to assess migration trends. The results of the study demonstrate the need for a comprehensive approach to the adaptation of migrants, taking into account the interests of all stakeholders. In particular, it is proposed to create a Regional сenter for аssistance to the Socio-сultural аdaptation of migrants. The findings underscore the importance of developing a long-term strategy that includes education programmes, labour adaptation initiatives and measures to strengthen intercultural dialogue. Particular attention is paid to the need for partnerships between different institutions to ensure an effective exchange of information and resources. Practice-oriented solutions proposed by the authors can be applied in other regions of the Russian Federation.
