The author shows the vagueness of the notion of crisis in science and legislation, the failing requirements addressing research into its causes, and absence of public comparisons of alternative anti-crisis measures. This, according to the author, determines the need to fill these gaps on scientific and applied, also on legislative levels, among other things in order to protect the population’s living standard from eventual inefficient regulation errors under growing “ultra-new poverty” in Russia.

The first results are presented which were gained thanks to using an original methodology of continuous GIS monitoring of loss time by Moscow suburb commuters travelling to their Moscow workplace. The method is described of capturing, accumulating, storing and processing GIS information obtained from Yandex Map and Yandex Jams platforms. Time distribution of trips duration is given depending on the time of day, weekday, also the monthly dynamics over June–September 2016. Further prospects of the methodology and future research plans are discussed.

The author holds that scenario management can be presented as operational conditions-dependent management. In the framework of the above paradigm the author states the following: in case these conditions are known and scantily changed, the stress on management is minimal and the scenario is realized under balanced and hard conditions; in case the conditions of activity have serious uncertainties, then, in the course of designing possible scenarios, risk management based on enterprise knowledge base turns into the most important process.
