ADMINISTRATIVE AND TERRITORIAL REFORM: AGRICULTURAL AGGLOMERATIONS AS THE BASIS OF ADMINISTRATIVE-TERRITORIAL DIVISION

Abstract

Agricultural agglomeration processes as the basis of administrative-territorial division are considered. The research of scientists on rural agglomeration processes is analyzed. A critical analysis of existing agglomeration processes has been carried out. The concepts of financially conditioned agglomeration processes and systemically conditioned agglomeration processes are proposed. The inevitable appearance of socially and economically dead territories within the framework of financially conditioned agglomeration processes with the further destruction of existing social groups is shown. The world agglomeration processes, federal agglomeration processes, regional agglomeration processes, municipal agglomeration processes are highlighted. The concept of socio-economic benefits of space is proposed. The possibility of the existence of beneficial social and economic relations with respect to a certain space is shown. The necessity of searching for beneficial social and economic relations to solve the problem of socially and economically dead territories has been established. The main task of the state, society and science is to find the most favorable social and economic relations of this space for the social system as a whole. The possibility of agglomeration of social and economic relations is shown. The concept of the basic territory (space) is given as a space of agricultural production relations, defined through agricultural communication accessibility and agricultural agglomeration processes. The schemes of administrative-territorial reform for the formation of administrative-territorial division in the context of the concept of socio-economic benefits of space are proposed.
