Transport logistics and its role in the balanced territorial development

Abstract

Transport logistics as a complex system combining many organisational, technological, technical, and other elements is now becoming one of the fundamental factors in the development of any spatial socioeconomic system, since the criteria of success in modern activities are the quality, speed, reliability, continuity of the provision of production-technological, social, research and development and other processes with all the necessary resources, which can be ensured due to the presence of well-established transport infrastructure and logistics of its maintenance, which directly affects the socio-economic performance and the balance of territorial development. Remote territories feel the lack of transport infrastructure and logistics of their service which directly affects the socio-economic performance and violation of the territorial development balance. All of the above determines the relevance of the study of transport logistics in the context of its role in the balanced development of the territory. The purpose of the study is to analyse the role and place of transport logistics in the balanced development of the territory. The objectives of the study include generalisation of the terminological bases of the study of transport logistics of the territory; analysis of official statistics data on the state of the transport system of the region; study of the state of transport logistics and spatial location of priority projects to modernise the transport infrastructure of the region; identification of the role of transport logistics in the balanced development of territories. The methodological basis of the study is a set of general and private scientific methods, the use of which allows to achieve the goal of the study (methods of scientific knowledge, analytical, statistical).
