Abstract
One of the prerequisites of the realization of a Eurointegration strategy for Ukraine is the adaptation of its administrative-territorial division to the requirements of the European Union (EU). This is a long-term policy and it is directed at the improvement of the territorial-administrative system of Ukraine on the basis of merger of the existing administrative units and the creation of spatial units – economic regions of different hierarchical levels corresponding to NUTS1, NUTS2, NUTS3. The formation of a new system of administrative-territorial division requires the determination of objectively existing spatial units, that is, the use of spatial economic zoning as objective basis for a new administrative-territorial division, taking into account the fact that spatial economic zoning as the objective process, while administrative-territorial division is a subjective process. Practice shows that administrative-territorial system is more inert and it is often an obstacle in the way of formation of objective spatial system of economic regions. The notion of “national economy” has been defined by Robert Reich in his investigation The Work of Nations as a part of global economy limited by national borders [1, 244]. The necessity for the spatial approach to modern national economy is connected with the formation on its basis of an inno-tech network – a system of information-communicative, spatial and motivational connections between its componential and functional subsystems, adapted to global humanitarian economy – attachment strategy. Chorologic concept is the basis for the formation of modern post-industrial, global information (network) society, the most important feature of which is the substitution of territorial principle of the organization of society by the network principle which is practiced on an ever larger scale. The term of spatial development by its contents differs from the term of territorial development. In the former case we understand the evolution of the morphology of socio-economic development when space is considered as an order of arrangement of things (Aristotle’s line). In the latter – changes
