ТРАНСПОРТНО-ЛОГІСТИЧНА ІНТЕГРАЦІЯ УКРАЇНИ ЗІ СВІТОВОЮ ТРАНСПОРТНОЮ СИСТЕМОЮ НА ПРИКЛАДІ ПРИДНІПРОВСЬКОГО ЕКОНОМІЧНОГО РАЙОНУ

Abstract

The relevance of the study is supported by the fact that the domestic modern, developed transport and logistics system contributes to the extension of foreign trade relations and socio-economic progress of both individual regions and the country as a whole. The purpose of the article is to analyze the state of the transport and logistics system of the Dnieper River economic region and, using its case, formulate recommendations on the transport and logistics integration of Ukraine into the world transport system. The dynamics of freight transportation, transport and logistics system and transport infrastructure of the Dnieper economic region (the cases of Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts) are analyzed. An approach to the development of the domestic transport sector and recommendations for the transport and logistics integration of Ukraine with the world transport system are formed. It is determined that the creation of transport and logistics clusters as one of the main conditions for stimulating the socio-economic progress of the country, regions and individual enterprises is promising at the meso-level or at the level of the economic region. It is proved that the Dnieper economic region has sufficient transport and logistics infra- structure, which can be the basis for the creation of a regional transport and logistics cluster. The formation of such a transport and logistics cluster can be the foundation and model for the creation of similar clusters in other economic regions of Ukraine. The study notes that the optimal growth area of the transport sector of Ukraine is the creation of a multidisciplinary and multifunctional integrated transport and logistics system, which will ensure the integration of the domestic transport complex into international transport and logistics systems. The transport and logistics integration of Ukraine and the world transport system should be aimed at increasing transit through the country, which requires the development of logistics complexes within the country according to international standards, the organization of a system of national transport corridors of the appropriate level and thus the attraction of domestic and external (international) sources of financing. The above requires the development and implementation of measures aimed at protecting the national interests of Ukraine in the system of international transport corridors.
