Abstract

The article highlights the need of applying cluster approach and foresight technologies in the formation of rural areas sustainable development strategy. An algorithm, including main stages of the rural areas sustainable development strategy design based on the cluster approach and foresight technologies, is presented. Cluster scenario for the rural sustainable economic and social development in the Non-chernozem zone of the Republic of Bashkortostan has been designed, which comprehensively takes into account the results of clustering, strategic planning and foresight forecasting of rural areas development. This scenario allows us to determine the extreme and most probable target indicators values of rural areas development for the long and medium term in the cluster display.

Highlights

At the present stage of domestic economic science development, the problem of studying the phenomenon of rural areas sustainable development as certain structured local systems, is a priority direction of the national agrarian policy

Summary

Introduction

At the present stage of domestic economic science development, the problem of studying the phenomenon of rural areas sustainable development as certain structured local systems, is a priority direction of the national agrarian policy. Achieving sustainable development should be as a target and a unique competence for each rural region of our country. Many domestic economists consider rural areas as the main resource for business and economic growth of our country and associate them with the future sustainable development of Russian regions. In economically developed countries experts widely apply the foresight technologies and cluster approach in the rural areas sustainable development design [1, 2]. The modern foresight methodology is based on the use of a formalized technologies system for analysis and evaluation, subsequent expertise, and designing strategies for the future rural areas development. The practical orientation of the cluster approach and foresight technologies increases the requirements and scientific validity of the methodological provisions being formed to develop a strategy for rural areas development, their applicability in management decision-making processes [7, 8]
