Cultural Mapping in the Digital Economy

Abstract

The article discusses issues related to the development and prospects of applying the cultural mapping technology in the Russian Federation. This technology, based on the integration of creative industries and advanced information and communication developments, involves the comprehensive identification, inventory and updating of tangible and intangible cultural resources with their subsequent inclusion in strategic plans for territorial development. The relevance of the article is connected with the need to search for new resources to develop regions, and Russia as a whole, in the conditions of global crises and fluctuations in the conjuncture of traditional commodity markets, the importance of identifying promising areas for the country’s economy transformation during the transition to the post-industrial era. The turn to innovative development that accompanies the processes of socio-cultural modernization in Russia is due not only to the level of development of modern technologies in society. First of all, it is associated with the modernization of the cultural sphere, understood as a broad interdepartmental phenomenon and the basis for positive transformations in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The author notes that the further construction of a modern society in the context of the development trends of the world economic and cultural space is impossible in Russian regions without the formation of an infrastructure, the key elements of which are cultural, intellectual and information resources, as well as institutions and advanced sociocultural technologies that ensure their storage, transmission and provision to users.
