Sustainable Development of Rural Territories in the Conditions of Territorial-Production Localization: Methodological Aspect

Abstract

Sustainable development of rural territories in the conditions of territorial-production localization: methodological aspect. The issues of sustainable development of territories are given great attention. However, in most of the works, general statements of problems, concepts and principles prevail: an analysis of the sustainable development of territories, a comparative analysis of the development of various socio-economic systems in the regions and other general problems of the country’s social and economic development. The insufficient depth of elaboration of conceptual provisions limits the practical value based on the recommendations existing in theories, aimed mainly at the sphere of macroeconomic regulation. This makes it necessary to further study the issues of sustainable development of rural territories. One of the promising areas is production and territorial localization. The local market is a market of a municipality of a region of the Russian Federation or part thereof, representing an economic system based on the principles of limited resources, characterized by the predominance of locally produced goods, unified logistics and a zone of price influence. Development is a process of qualitative and quantitative changes that enhance and improve the current state of the system, i.e. the process of transition from the old, simple to the new, more complex, higher, quantitative and qualitative state of the system. The concept of "development" is closely related to "management." When these concepts are correlated, the relation of the part to the whole is traced. The assessment of the level of development and location of local markets in rural areas was carried out on the basis of the adjusted XYZ analysis, which allowed us to predict development prospects.
