PROSPECTIVE INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUILDING OBJECTS IN RURAL TERRITORIES

Abstract

Objectives. The purpose is to study the present state and developmental prospects of the rural built environment infrastructure and to assess its impact on the sustainable growth of regional socio-economic indicators on the example of the Perm Territory. Methods. Research methods included the system approach, situational analysis, the formal-logical method and the dialectical method of studying social and economic processes. Results. The important role of the built environment infrastructure in the socio-economic development of the regions is demonstrated. It is established that the creation of the built environment infrastructure in rural areas contributes to the increase of employment, providing a comprehensive effect for strengthening national security, increasing the incomes of the population and developing business structures. The primary measures for creating the infrastructure include the technical equipment of the construction industry. Equally important is the communal infrastructure, which affects the quality of products as well as providing sanitary and hygienic working conditions. A special role belongs to transport security, since the quality and availability of transport and logistic networks depends on the efficiency of marketing activities, supply, optimisation and compliance with production times. Conclusion. The investigation of the infrastructure of the construction industry makes it possible to identify problems related to the transport security of the primary processes, including high production costs and lower profitability of developers in remote and rural areas that are not adapted for the organisation of an uninterrupted production cycle. Rural territories are in acute need of the implementation of state programmes comprehensively aimed at transforming the socio-economic space and infrastructural growth. The systematic organisation of the investment process will contribute to the improvement of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of infrastructure facilities and support construction development, ensuring a decent standard of living for the population through increased wages and employment of rural residents. The solution of the basic infrastructural problems related to construction in rural areas of the country can be facilitated by the orientation of state policy towards the economic security of individual regions, the simplification of the supply system of products from the producer to the consumer without loss of quality and the development of transport and logistic networks.
