Особенности социально-экономического развития территорий южного макрорегиона в условиях пространственной конкуренции

Abstract

Abstract. The aim. The asymmetric separation of factors of production and uneven development of territories complicates the process of urbanization. In turn, these phenomena can, revitalize competition. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the boundaries of eventual differences in the social and economic levels of development and possible principles of alignment. Along with this, it is necessary to analyze and evaluate the economy of the territory as a whole, as well as pay attention to the types of economic activity that characterize its specialization. In addition, identify priority areas and tools that will help overcome the disproportionate of the territory. The article discusses the features of the spatial of the economy and the territories of the southern macroregion of Russia on the basis of the analysis of the sectoral structure, their asymmetric formation is revealed, the typology of territories is presented, development directions in the conditions of spatial imbalances are proposed. To increase resistance to the processes of the economic crisis, the territories of the southern macroregion with asymmetric development, one should adhere to the stipulated level of diversification and specialization in the developed and profitable segments of the economy. It is especially important to preserve those areas of economic activity in which the region is a leader or participant in local markets. The object of research is the processes of spatial differentiation in the socio-economic development of the territories of the southern macroregion in the conditions of spatial competition. The theoretical base is the fundamental research of Russian and foreign scientists on the problems of the regional economy. Methods. The study used the expert method, the method of situational and comparative analysis, the method of typological groupings. The information and empirical basis are the actual reports of the Federal State Statistics Service and territorial bodies; research in the development of regional economic systems; analytical reviews and materials of scientific conferences. The results of the study can be used to develop a strategy for economic activation of territories. Scientific novelty. The following new scientific results were obtained in the work: a typology of regions was developed according to the degree of proportionality and the dynamics of their socio-economic development; measures are proposed to implement the investment priorities of the southern macro-region for the purpose of managing the processes of economic activation of territories using the opportunities of inter-regional interaction.
