In the article, the concept of creating a digital clone to support the development of the Arctic territories, based on the representation of the territory in the form of target subspaces and modelling of the development of the territory in the form of a three-level model, is presented. The Arctic space is divided into target subspaces in accordance with the institutional-functional approach. In other words, the Arctic space is represented by a combination of systems, structures and their functions. The Arctic space comprises a holistic system, in which each element performs its relevant function. The function of the Arctic space consists in the ability to meet specific social needs. Human activities in the Arctic space are organised on the basis of institutions. In a general sense, the entire Arctic space can be said to consist of institutions and functions. The first level of the model represents the branch structure of the economy of the Arctic region. The second level consists of the target subspaces: “territories for the extraction of mineral resources”, “territories for recreational purposes”, “territories for fishing”. The third level shows the relationship between the target subspaces and the country’s economy.
