Theoretical aspects of research of infrastructure are in context of the project of approach

Abstract

This article the infrastructure essence was investigated and the need exploring this category as an important factor of the state socio-economic development was underline. The developed infrastructure complex builds objective conditions to solve scientific and technical issues, optimizing economic ties, integrating the state into the global economic space. The implementation of projects the construction and modernization of infrastructure facilities will provide a multiplier effect and will contribute to economic growth. The relevance of the problems described is a condition for deep research in this direction. The purpose of the article is studeing the theoretical foundations of infrastructure and develops proposals for improving the classification of infrastructure in the context of the project approach. The survey methodology is based on methods of analysis, synthesis and comparison. These methods were used to study of existing approaches to the disclosure to essence of the infrastructure. The scientific novelty of the research is to develop a hierarchy of infrastructure classification within the framework of the project approach by grouping projects that ensure the functioning of the infrastructure, according to such hierarchical criteria as: the public purpose of the infrastructure project, the ability of the infrastructure project to generate cash flows, the goals of the infrastructure project. Conclusions. Investigations have show that in the economic literature there were different approaches to understand the essence of infrastructure, determining elements and classification one. The reasons for the different opinions lie in the practical using of the definition of infrastructure in various industries, spheres and areas of scientific research. Following investigate which had found out that the infrastructure was a multi-level system, which consists of material and non-material objects. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a classification for systematizing them according to different criteria Key words: infrastructure, infrastructure classification, project approach, infrastructure project, types of infrastructure.
