Methodological aspects of the institutional analysis of the level of regional infrastructure development

Abstract

The development of the region’s infrastructure is one of the goals of territorial sustainable development. Regional infrastructure improves the quality of life. The article provides a theoretical analysis of methods for assessing the level of infrastructure development. The development of infrastructure is determined by the interests of many stakeholders. This determines the need for taking into consideration the institutional conditions of its development. The goal of the study is to analyze methods for assessing the development of regional infrastructure and substantiate the need for an institutional analysis of infrastructure development. To achieve this goal, methods of analysis, generalization and synthesis of studies on measuring and assessing the level of development of regional infrastructure were used. To form a methodology for assessing regional infrastructure, we used the methods of institutional analysis, comparison and generalization of scientific research. To ensure an increase in the efficiency of regional infrastructure development, the methodology for assessing the institutional conditions for infrastructure development is proposed. The methodology is based on the following indicators: regulatory framework for infrastructure development, assessment of infrastructure development forms in projects for interaction between business and the state, infrastructure development tools, availability of a system for coordination and monitoring of infrastructure development, technological level of the region’s infrastructure. Further research involves testing the methodology for assessing the level of development of regional infrastructure. In general, a systematic approach to the development of the region’s infrastructure is fully consistent with the goals of sustainable development and allows us to identify markers of infrastructure development that correspond to the level of territorial development.
