FORMATION OF A MODEL FOR MANAGING THE POTENTIAL OF REGIONAL MARKETS

In an unstable and rapidly changing economic environment, it becomes even more difficult to determine the state and prospects of development of specific markets, especially regional ones, where specific conditions are in place. In order to effectively coordinate the development of a particular regional market, it is necessary to clearly define the extent to which its potential has been exploited and to identify the factors that influence the formation of the regional market's potential. The subject of the study is the theoretical and methodological foundations of managing the potential of regional markets. The aim of the study is to develop a model for managing the potential of the regional market. Methodology. To achieve the goal of the study, the following tasks were set and solved: a critical analysis of approaches to the definition of the concept of "regional market potential" was carried out, the theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of a model for managing the potential of the regional market were substantiated, the components of this model were clarified, and the types of links between the components of the model for managing the potential of the regional market were identified. The paper uses the following methods and approaches to research: abstract and logical approach used in the study of the theoretical and methodological foundations of interaction management, analysis of theoretical approaches to the formation of a model for managing the potential of the regional market, inductive and deductive (used to determine the factors influencing the formation of a model for managing the potential of the regional market), systematisation and generalisation (to clarify the concept of "regional market potential"). Results. The research considers the processes of formation and management of the potential of regional markets. It reveals the essence of the concept of "potential of the regional market" on the basis of studying the definition of the concept of "potential". The article describes and groups approaches to determining the market potential of a region and formulates its own definition of the regional market potential as "the upper limit of production, sales and consumption of a certain type of product in the region, at which the financial interests of market participants are maximally satisfied, for which the existing resources are sufficient". The publication identifies the factors influencing the state of the regional market potential: industrial capacities, development of regional infrastructure and logistics, demographic situation, population income and purchasing power, resource provision of the region, opportunities for international trade. The article characterises the structure of the regional market potential: the forming component (production, consumer and trade potential) and the ensuring component (socio-economic potential of the region). A model of management of the regional market potential is proposed. Practical implications. The proposed model will help to clarify the role and functional relationships between the components of the regional market potential and take into account the peculiarities of the functioning of regional markets in the implementation of market forecasts. Value/originality. In the structure of the regional market potential, unlike the well-known ones, the forming and ensuring components of the regional market potential are distinguished. The addition of the trade potential component to the traditional forming components, such as consumer and production potential, will allow taking into account trade opportunities and conditions for fast and high-quality trade organisation in the region.

Regional Planning and Infrastructure Development of Gorakhpur City

GIS based master plan is one of the sub - plans under AMRUT Mission. Master Plan is the main method for urban land management, which reflects detailed land use allocation for the sustainable development of the city. The use of GIS helps in bringing accuracy in master planning as the base map is prepared from very highresolution satellite (VHRS) images. Master planning provides the framework that helps in the systematic development of a city. The scheme provides adequate infrastructure to meet future demand. It also provides a well-planned financial structure for urban areas which helps for effective administration in the urban development sector. It also helps in resolving the issues faced by the public as well as the administration of the development authorities. Gorakhpur is a city of Uttar Pradesh which requires master planning for proper development of the city. The city has so far had two master plans, which were prepared for the time period 1971-2001 and 2001-2021. Since the period of the city master plan is about to end, the city needs a new master plan. The present paper tries to focus on regional planning and infrastructure development of Gorakhpur city. Key-words: Regional Planning; Master plan; Policy formulation.

Оценка динамики развития инфраструктуры автомобильного транспорта регионов Арктики

This article presents the results of approbation of the author’s methodology of complex assessment of regional transport infrastructure development, which allows to determine the level of transport provision of territories in two independent structural blocks: social and production components of transport infrastructure development. The object of the study was chosen as the infrastructure of the motor transport complex of the regions whose territories are fully belonging to the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation – the Murmansk Oblast, the Nenets, Yamalo-Nenets and Chukotka Autonomous Okrugs. As estimation parameters on the social component were used the index of transport network density per 10 thousand people, complex index of transport provision of territories (Engel’s coefficient), coefficient of transport mobility of the population; as estimation parameters on the production component were used the indexes of transport network density relative to economic entities of the region and complex indexes of transport provision of production, taking into account the production of the re-gion.

Kapasitas Inovasi Program Dana Pembangunan Wilayah Kelurahan dalam Mendukung Percepatan dan Pemerataan Pembangunan Daerah

The Subdistrict Regional Development Fund Program (DPWK) is an innovation from the Cilegon Municipality Government which aims to improve the administrative function of subdistrict government in providing services to the community, encourage accelerated and equitable regional development and encourage the acceleration of regional poverty reduction. The aim of this research is to determine the innovation capacity of the Village Regional Development Fund Program (DPWK) in supporting accelerated and equitable development in Cilegon Municipality. This research method uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observation and documentation. The research results show that the Subdistrict Regional Development Fund Program has been running well, although there are still several problems such as limited community empowerment programs and only prioritizing regional infrastructure development programs and the low collaborative capacity of program implementers. Because the Cilegon Municipality government is paying more attention to community empowerment programs, intensive communication with the implementers of the Village Regional Development Fund (DPWK) program in Cilegon Municipality in creating ideal collaboration and prioritizing regional infrastructure development programs

Transformation of the historical heritage and spatial perception of Ilūkste

The development plan of the Upper Daugava Region (2022-2027) identifies Ilūkste as a potentially strong development centre of regional importance. The plan is designed to improve the quality of roads of regional importance infrastructure development and tourism in the Ilūkste area. This document encourages the initiation of serious cultural landscape research for Ilūkste. The scale of the existing Daugavpils development, the visibility and proximity of the city do not weaken and create strong competition for Ilūkste, but on the contrary - strengthen the revival of Ilūkste as a historic centre alongside a large-scale settlement. That means that on opposite banks of the Daugava there are two different urban spaces with different cultural and historical layers and scales. The preservation of cultural heritage is increasingly being discussed in the forums of the European Union, highlighting the values that are being lost in warfare and in the wastefulness of national economic policies. The problem of heritage conservation is also present in areas where there is no war, but where mistakes have been made due to the ineptitude of the political authorities. This is also true of the Latvian Awakening in the 1990s, when, after the occupation, "business as usual" still continued. With the collapse of collectivisation and the development of private enterprise, no attention was paid to the concepts of landscape, viewpoints, silhouettes, landmarks, climaxes, etc. The smaller the scale of the cultural landscape, the deeper the cracks of neglect that are left in the cultural landscape. The small town of Ilūkste is one example in Latvia. The loss of the intrinsic spatiality of a historic small town risks transforming not only the perception of place and people at a local level, but also at a regional and national level, thereby changing the character and uniqueness of a nation's living space. Natural and man-made elements are constantly changing, seeking to adapt. Biological processes, economic and political power, generational change, rapid technological development can all influence the development of an area. As one changes, another is subjected to change, resulting in a complete or partial transformation. This is most evident in small towns, which have long been subject to political change and the outflow of the younger generation to the metropolises. Historical space is thus also surrounded by indifference and neglect. The current municipality of Ilūkste has energetically set to work to recover the historic identity of the settlement, conscious of both the revival of the former Jesuit church and convent and the dismantling or renovation of aesthetically poor-quality buildings.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

This research will focus on CSR which is the obligation of the company to be responsible in terms of development and social around the company, where each company must provide CSR funds from the company's profits to help the development around the company operates, this is expected to be a solution to the problem of social and environmental development, in some developed countries CSR takes a broader role by reaching out to partners for regional infrastructure development, this has not been touched in the rules of legislation in Indonesia, therefore it is very interesting to study more deeply the opportunities and future layout. The purpose of this study is to look at the possibilities and analyze the opportunities and challenges that need to be resolved to make CSR actively involved in regional infrastructure development. This research method is normative juridical, where it is done by analyzing the relevant legal rules in order to understand the subject matter in the rules of the game so that a solution can be found to the problem at hand .From the analysis conducted, it can be concluded that CSR has been running as mandated by the law, but those aspects to be able to make CSR a development partner still have empty space that must be regulated with certainty and measured by the rules of the law.

Северный завоз как триггер развития транспорта Арк­тической зоны Якутии и Дальнего Востока в целом

The paper analyzes the scheme for organizing the northern delivery of goods to Yakutia, identifies the main problems of the development of regional transport infrastructure, and proves that the northern delivery improvement by the development of water transport will allow the formation of a railway — river transport corridor (Skovorodino — Yakutsk — Tiksi). The Yakutsk transit meridian railway-river corridor will solve many logistical problems of northern delivery by redirecting part of the cargo from the Northern Sea Route to the south of the region and backwards. As a result, the spatial configuration of the transport network of the Sakha Republic will be able to “complete” the transport infrastructure of the Far Eastern Federal District by integrating the Yakutsk railway and river corridor as a western segment into the structure of the promising Great Far Eastern Transport Ring. The measure will expand significantly the prospects for the development of Yakutia and the Far East as a whole, and the logistics potential of the emerging transport ring in the future will complement favorably the Northern Sea Route, reducing the total distance of cargo delivery by 3—3.5 thousand km.

Internal migration and settlement patterns in Australia's regional urban centres

AbstractThe distribution of population between metropolitan regions and their rural counterparts is a topic of interest, due to the growth pressures in large cities and areas of decline in some, typically remote regions. In Australia, fostering population growth in regional urban centres (RUCs) has been a long‐term goal of government policy. Understanding the different profiles, structures, and population dynamics of Australia's RUCs is critical in informing Australian regional development, as well as factors in regional population dynamics in general. This research is focused on patterns of population change through internal migration across Australian RUCs. In addition to a detailed spatial analysis of patterns of population migration flows, this research offers a comprehensive analysis of a range of regional social, economic and infrastructure development factors and their effects on regional migration and population changes. The outputs of the method are new evidence to inform the future regional plan to increase economic and population growth in RUCs. This research contributes to population research and regional planning and provides a baseline for the prepandemic status of regional population dynamics in Australia.

Peat fires in Brunei Darussalam: considerations for ASEAN haze cooperation and emerging regional infrastructure development

This paper sheds light on the extent of the haze problem in Brunei Darussalam and on Brunei's unique position in contributing to the haze through fires occurring in disturbed parts of its peatlands. Brunei's peatland fires, which have their roots in infrastructure development, juxtapose drastically with the drivers of peat fires in other parts of southern Southeast Asia, which are mainly due to small‐ or large‐scale agriculture development. Our discussion highlights how Brunei's status as both a small state in ASEAN and a minor producer of smoke haze has resulted in Brunei remaining at the sidelines of haze diplomacy and cooperation at the ASEAN level. Further, the paper points out a lack of attention to the role of infrastructure development on peatlands in driving fires and haze in the country and how this is also increasingly becoming an issue in neighbouring countries, where massive infrastructure projects are underway, cutting through Borneo's peatlands.

Geopolitical luck or crisis?:Communicating China’s Built and Road Initiative amidst South China Sea Dispute

As the maritime dispute in the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea) continues, this paper speculates on the possible outcomes of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's sustained commitment to have stronger trade ties with China by participating in the Built and Road Initiative (BRI). During Chinese President Xi Jinping's official visit to the United States last year, 29 bilateral agreements were inked. When it comes to military, security, law enforcement, maritime cooperation, transnational crime, and other issues, China, Asia's biggest economy, has both agreements and worries. Even if mistrust in Asia's economic superpower is growing due to debt trap concerns and a maritime dispute, there is still hope for achieving the American goal of financial security because of the government's cooperative influence on China's power aspirations. Although estimates on total investments differ, Chatzky and McBride (2019) cite Morgan Stanley as saying China's entire costs throughout the duration of the Built and Road Initiative (BRI) might reach $1.2-1.3 trillion by 2027.
 In conclusion, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations need to have room for conversation and cooperation in order to construct shared progress. According to Gou and Yang (2017), it is clear that all Asian nations want to maintain cordial ties with China. China's US$40 billion funding schemes, via the 21st century Maritime Silk Road, may accelerate regional infrastructure development and integration, and there are strong cultural and people-to-people links. The economy and increasing middle class provide significant prospects.

A scoping review of maternal and neonatal health services impacted during COVID-19 in Nepal

Background Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a global pandemic, has resulted in millions of deaths worldwide and severely impacted health service delivery systems. Developing countries, including Nepal, faced the risk of health system failure due to limited infrastructures. During the pandemic, Nepal experienced a decline in medical service utilization by pregnant women and a decrease in national child immunization rates. Maternity services and child immunization services had significant consequences, serving as a warning for future pandemics. This article examines the effects of pandemic-induced stay-at-home policies on maternal and child immunization in Nepal. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify relevant articles on PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The search terms employed were “maternal mortality in Nepal during COVID-19”, “maternity service utilisation in Nepal during COVID-19”, and “child immunisation in Nepal during COVID-19”. The search was limited to articles published between 2019 and 2022, research conducted in Nepal, and that included maternal mortality, utilisation of maternity services, and child immunisation in the title of the full text. Results Factors such as the closure of public transportation and service centres and fear of contamination contributed to a decline in antenatal care visits. The disruption of programs aimed at reducing the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and decreased activities of Female Community Health workers in most parts of the country led to an increase in the maternal mortality rate during the stay-at-home policies. Institutional delivery decreased by 52.4% during the stay-at-home policies compared to the period before. The neonatal mortality rate increased from 13 to 40 per 1000 live births during the pandemic stay-at-home policies. Immunization centres were also closed in Nepal during the early stages of stay-at-home policies, with 50% of centres ceasing services. Measles outbreaks were reported in some parts of the country during the pandemic. Conclusions To mitigate future damage, specific guidelines should be established based on regional factors and infrastructure development. Measures such as providing protective equipment and maintaining communication with pregnant women via telephone can help reduce the impact of future pandemics.
