In recent years, a process of adaptation of a population have become a focus of a wide range of humanitarian studies in Russia and abroad. The main reason for this was a dynamic of the ongoing social, cultural, economic and political processes. The high speed of an ongoing changes, covering all spheres of life of society and accompanied by a transformation of a way of life, a system of values and motivation of a population, presupposes its adequate response and a integration of a person into a system of new social relations. In this article, authors substantiate that an adaptation of a population, from a point of view of the sociocultural approach, becomes conditioned by its entry into a highly dynamically changing environment associated with high risks, challenges and uncertainty of consequences, as well as an active search for its place and role in it, which determines the multitude of probable outcomes. Thus, the purpose of this article is to develop a sociocultural approach by applying it to studies of a diversity of adaptation processes of a population. In this case, the main research methods were - theoretical generalization, comparison of different points of view, retrospective and abstract logical analysis. The development of a sociocultural approach proposed by authors consists in substantiating principles and provisions of a study of adaptation of society, man and culture, based on established traditions and taking into account modern trends and conditions of an ongoing processes. As the main principles, the authors proposed a following: unity and interdependence of changes occurring in society and an individual, a variety of changes, socio-cultural dynamics and alternative development. The results of the study make it possible to expand the scope of application of a sociocultural approach by taking into account a complexity and diversity of forms of adaptation of a population to dynamically changing conditions.

Keywords: adaptation of a population, sociocultural approach, dynamic changes in a socioeconomic environment, transformational processes, standards of living.
