Abstract

Russian system of strategic planning is formed in a new institutional environment. system contains new requirements for goal-setting activities, forecasting and planning of territorial social and economic systems development. new Federal Law “On strategic planning in the Russian Federation (No. 172, dated June 28, 2014) introduces a strategic management system of local social and economic development on the municipal (local) level. In this regard, methodology and corresponding tools of strategic decisions anticipation and justification are used in a dynamically changing environment. opportunities of modern roadmapping technologies found broad application in the business environment. However, the tools of roadmapping are innovative in Russia, mainly, in the field of public administration and local (municipal) development management. This article presents research results aimed to determine a methodological base of roadmapping for territorial systems on a municipal (local) level, including the development of a formalized scheme for territorial roadmap. research carried out in 2011-2013 has solved two main objectives. Firstly, the procedure for territorial (municipal) foresight projects has been developed and successfully approved for specific municipal areas in the Samara region. Secondly, formalized technology of territorial (municipal) roadmaps construction has been created. Graphical roadmap forms of territories (municipalities) were approved during the development of the document The Strategy of Social and Economic Development of a Municipality aimed at some specific municipal areas in the Samara region. research is targeted at the following municipalities in the Samara region: the Kinel-Cherkassky municipal area and the Stavropol municipal area. research results are intended for local government bodies, participants of foresight projects of Russian municipalities, as well as other countries that are actively engaged in territorial (local) policy design of social and economic development.

Highlights

1.1 Analysis of the Latest Studies and PublicationsScientific publications on this issue contain various approaches to roadmapping research procedures, definitions of "roadmap" and "roadmapping" and typology of roadmaps.Several distinguished scientific centers abroad are successfully involved in the roadmapping methodology and technologic roadmaps creation
We consider them on the example of two municipalities in the Samara region: the Kinel-Cherkassky municipal area and the Stavropolsky municipal area
Due to Federal Law No 172 adoption in the Russian Federation, the years will become the period of active strategic planning at all levels of public authorities including local government authorities

Scientific publications on this issue contain various approaches to roadmapping research procedures, definitions of "roadmap" and "roadmapping" and typology of roadmaps. Several distinguished scientific centers abroad are successfully involved in the roadmapping methodology and technologic roadmaps creation. Dr Rob Phaal, Principal Research Associate of this center, believes that strategic roadmapping has been a key area of ongoing interest, in terms of both research and practice (Phaal R., 2004; Phaal R., 2006; Phaal R., Simonse L. and van Ouden E., 2008). We specify one more paper devoted to the graphical forms which can be used to construct roadmaps because of their potential for supporting communication and dissemination. A classification is proposed, focusing on the underlying information structures apparent in these roadmaps, illustrated with 20 representative specimens” (Phaal R., Farrukh C.J.P. and Probert D.R., 2009)
