Abstract
The article is devoted to assessing the scale of the local labor market in Khabarovsk and its surrounding areas using geographic information analysis tools. The relevance of the study is due to the need to clarify the boundaries of the local labor market in conditions of dynamically developing economic activity and the growth of spatial mobility of the population within the emerging Khabarovsk urban agglomeration. An analysis was carried out of the transport accessibility of places of employment, the scale of economic activity, employment of the population, differentiation of wages in the context of municipalities of the Khabarovsk Territory, concentrated near Khabarovsk, as well as the border region of the neighboring Jewish Autonomous Region (N = 45). To achieve this goal, the following methodological approaches and tools are used: construction of isochrones of transport accessibility; calculation of average wages; formation of cartograms. The information base for the study was provided by Rosstat data on the population of municipalities at the beginning of 2024, data from the statistical tax reporting of the FTS of Russia (Form 5-NDFL) for 2023, data on the number of objects of economic activity within the boundaries of municipalities and geodata GIS «Yandex Map to the Territory of the Russian Federation», NextGIS QGIS, current as of October 2023. Zoning has been completed, the core and boundaries of the local labor market in Khabarovsk have been determined. Based on an analysis of the composition and structure of existing transport accessibility zones, it is substantiated that a reduction in wages moving away from the core increases competition and draws labor resources into the city, «exposing» the periphery and exacerbating spatial heterogeneity
