Factors influencing the development of regional infrastructure

Abstract

Introduction. Infrastructure development plays a key role in the economy, as it is closely linked to the state of productive forces and the territorial division of labor, as well as the efficiency of the sphere of material production. In today's conditions of active decentralization, the development of infrastructure of the united territorial communities and the establishment of ties is a prerequisite for their economic development. Particularly relevant practical tasks are the introduction of modern mechanisms, tools for modernization and balanced development of infrastructure at the local and regional levels. Methods. The following methods are used to accomplish the research objectives: theoretical generalization, dialectic, and the method of scientific abstraction, comparison, induction and deduction (during theoretical studies, generalizations and formulation of conclusions); analysis (to reveal the current format of problems and trends in the development of infrastructure elements of the region). Results. The complex of factors determining the development of the region's infrastructure and general approaches to the management of this process is explored. Factors influencing the development of the infrastructure of the region are considered according the point of view of the scientific and practical approach. The issues of formation, sources of financing and infrastructure development in the region are considered in detail. It is emphasized on the need to determine the priorities of infrastructure development. The general approaches to management of regional infrastructure development are considered. The analysis of the modern format of problems and tendencies of the development of infrastructure elements of the region is carried out. It is established that an effective combination in accordance with priority, importance and necessity of the factors identified in the classification will contribute to elimination of imbalances in the infrastructure development of the regions. An interconnection between the development of infrastructure and the specifics of industries and regions, and the peculiarities of their productive sphere has been established. The necessity of orientation not in the branch, but on the regional system of management in the conditions of active decentralization is proved. Discussion. Therefore, it is important to conduct constant and thorough research of these factors in order to determine the strength of their influence, the priority of development, prevention and elimination of possible negative manifestations and enhancement of positive emphases in this process. Keywords: region, regional infrastructure, factors, group of factors, system of management.
