CREATIVE APPROACHES TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOURIST INDUSTRY IN THE CONDITIONS OF A PANDEMIC CRISIS

Introduction. The success of the creative development of the tourism industry in a pandemic lockdown and in the post-quarantine period is closely related to the quality of a number of factors that shape the level of creative activity of its subjects and provide competitive advantages. Adequate choice and scientific substantiation of strategic alternatives for the development of the tourism industry highlights the need for a targeted study of the parameters of its creative renewal. Methods. Methods of scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis are used, technologies of structuring and systematization are applied during construction of logical-structural decomposition of creativity of tourist destinations and structural model of management of tourist cluster. The SWOT analysis was used to evaluate strategic alternatives for the development of tourism entities. Results. The generalization of research on the peculiarities of the functioning of the tourism sector in the context of the socio-economic crisis caused by pandemic constraints, suggests that the restoration of effective business entities should be managed, targeted action of all participants. At the same time, ensuring the efficiency of the tourism industry requires the implementation of creative technologies in management algorithms at all stages of overcoming the crisis. Qualitative goals of post-pandemic recovery of the industry can be generalized in the form of two main directions: 1) creation of creative tourist offer (including tourist experience and offer of original tourist product) on the basis of high-quality entertainment industry, introduction of European market trends, with emphasis on authentic values ; 2) building a clear identity of domestic tourism enterprises, which would synergistically connect micro-destinations, emphasizing the creative benefits in the minds of potential tourists. Discussion. Further research on the possibilities of creative management to overcome the crisis in the tourism industry should cover the problems of creating unique tourism products based on authentic values, reducing the seasonality of domestic resorts, modernization of tourism infrastructure and integration of tourist inactive regions in creative projects. Keywords: tourism entities, Covid-19 pandemic, socio-economic crisis, creative management, destination, tourist offer, tourist cluster.

Diffusion of the Budapest Convention on cybercrime and the development of cybercrime legislation in Pacific Island countries: ‘Law on the books’ vs ‘law in action’

The Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime,11CoE, Convention on Cybercrime - ETS No. 185 (2001). referred to as the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, has been diffused globally, and is serving as a benchmark or a ‘model law’ for drafting national cybercrime legislation in many countries worldwide. This paper argues that, through the mechanism of ‘state socialization’ combined with incentives, e.g. assistance in building law enforcement capacity, the diffusion of the Budapest Convention has had a profound influence on the development of cybercrime legislation in a number of Pacific Island Countries (PICs).22This paper will focus on examining the cybercrime legislation of ten developing South Pacific countries: Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.3Michael Minges and Christoph Stork, 'Economic and Social Impact of ICT in the Pacific' (Pacific Region Infrastructure Facility, 2015) <https://www.theprif.org/documents/regional/information-communication-technology-ict/economic-and-social-impact-ict-pacific-0> accessed 19 June 2020. Some PICs have expressed their great interest in acceding to the Convention and ‘imported’ several provisions from the Convention. This article, nevertheless, contends that these PICs do not seem to consider carefully whether the ‘imported’ law is applicable to their existing law enforcement capacity. It is evident that various domestic factors, such as lack of resources, have deterred the enforcement of cybercrime laws in these countries. As the result, although those PICs would have adequate cybercrime laws ‘on the books’, ‘law in action’ is still feeble.

For the study, we used the methods of statistical and comparative analyses. The Republic of Crimea and Rostov Oblast's social infrastructure development was considered as a case study. Results. The article finds that the level of social infrastructure is determined by a number of internal and external factors. By analyzing and assessing such factors, it is possible to develop promising areas for the social sphere advancement. Conclusions. Assessment and analysis of internal factors largely determined by the region's characteristics, as well as a comprehensive consideration of the impact of external factors will help ensure the competitiveness of the region's economy.

Tourist resources and infrastructure as the important components of economic development and tourism in the region

However, with all the prerequisites for the development of tourism, Ukraine did not pay due attention to the development of this sector of economy. Due to this situation, the problem of increasing the tourist attractiveness of the territory remains urgent. Having an important potential of natural resources, historical and cultural monuments, considering the great importance of the tourism industry, it has been declared one of the priority directions of development of the national economy at the state level in Ukraine. Among Ukrainian scientists, the development of tourist infrastructure was studied by A. A. Beidik, M. P. Malskaya, A. T. Makarov, F. Kifiak, A. A. Lubitseva, S. P. Kuzyk, I. M. School. Certain infrastructure elements of the tourist and recreational complex of the Kiev region are analyzed in the works of L. M. Volovik, V. L. Glibovets, A. M. Poltavets, S. V. Rogovsky, etc. Pereiaslav-Khmelnitsky district is a territory of historical land, which is located in the eastern part of the Kiev region. It played a great importance in the processes of formation of Ukrainian nationality and state. This land was a source of inspiration for Taras Shevchenko himself and other outstanding heroes of Ukraine. It is over-saturated with both sad and joyful big events. Pereiaslav-Khmelnitsky district, without exaggeration, can be called a unique place on the map of our country. The purpose of the study is to assess tourist resources and develop the tourist infrastructure of Pereiaslav-Khmelnitsky district, to determine its role in creating the basis for the economic growth of the district as a whole and to improve the tourism sector in particular. The study of this problem is based on general scientific methods of knowledge of economic phenomena and processes (analysis and synthesis, system approach, dialectical method, etc.). It was revealed the conditions of formation and the current state of formation of tourist infrastructure in Kyiv region, in particular in Pereiaslav-Khmelnitsky district. It was made the comparison of the state of its components (communication network, accommodation establishments, and mass catering establishments). Without exaggeration, Pereiaslav-Khmelnitsky district can be called a unique place on the map of our country. Today, there are 51 settlements, 15 objects of nature reserve fund of Ukraine, among which is a park-monument of landscape art of a national importance «Tashanskyi» and National natural park «Biloozerskyi», and there are more than 10 large and small rivers and hundreds of potential tourist sites that need to be preserved, promoted and attracted by tourists. It was highlighted the key advantages inherent in the tourism infrastructure of Kyiv region. The value of material and technical base and tourism infrastructure has been established as a determining factor for increasing the tourist attractiveness of Pereiaslav-Khmelnitsky district. The main reasons for hindering the development of the tourist services market in Pereiaslav-Khmelnitsky district are: the imperfection of the system of state regulation of tourist activity; the low level of investments in the development of the material base of tourism; the inconsistency of tourist establishments with international standards; the insufficient provision of the tourism industry by qualified specialists; the extremely unsatisfactory condition of transport infrastructure; the low awareness of potential consumers of the tourism product. It was highlighted the main problems in the formation and promotion of tourism products of the district, as well as the problems of development of existing tourism potential, which is certainly one of the richest in Ukraine. It was offered the directions of development of tourist infrastructure market in Pereiaslav-Khmelnitsky district and activation of using of tourist potential in the area.

ОЦІНКА РЕСУРСНО-РЕКРЕАЦІЙНОГО ПОТЕНЦІАЛУ І ІНФРАСТРУКТУРИ СТАЛОГО ТУРИЗМУ В БРЕСТСЬКА ОБЛАСТЬ

Problem statement. One of the important tasks of sustainable development of tourism activities at the regional and local levels, as well as for more detailed development of the state's tourism policy, requires a comprehensive assessment of the tourist and recreational potential at the local level. The purpose of article is to assess the tourism and recreation potential of the administrative districts of the Brest region in the context of sustainable tourism development. The subject of the research is the tourist and recreational infrastructure of the Brest region. The hypothesis of the research is to find ways of economic and geographical assessment of the tourist and recreational potential of the Brest region in the context of the center -peripheral model. Presentation of the main material. A theoretical analysis of the methodology for assessing the tourist and recreational potential of the region in the context of sustainable tourism development is carried out. It is proved that not only indicators and indicators, but also tourist and recreational potential are important for determining the strategic foundations of sustainable development of the region. The analysis and score assessment of historical, cultural, recreational potential and the level of development of tourist infrastructure is carried out. A typology of districts based on the center -peripheral model and the level of development of tourist infrastructure has been developed. The conclusions of the study are to highlight the economic and geographical features of the development of the administrative districts of the Brest region.

Routes of Sustenance: Infrastructure and Food Security Strategies in Chukotka

The problem of food supply is especially poignant in the remote and hard to reach Arctic settlements. Therefore, local people have to develop their own food distribution strategies. They actively employ the alternative ways of food acquisition and accumulation to maintain a sense of their food security via the use of local infrastructure, networks of relatives and friends and technologies for self-production, processing and storage of products. The article describes the recent trends in food circulation in the Iul’tinskii district of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The authors consider the existing model of food redistribution between the tundra camps, reindeer herding and coastal villages, as well as the district center. They analyze the impact that one of the largest Soviet projects in Chukotka – the Iul’tinskaia road had on food security practices of the local people. The emergence of new infrastructure has affected both their mobility and perception of food. The article demonstrates how a whole set of various state projects and commercial initiatives frame local nutritional needs, but at the same time can either hinder or contribute to their satisfaction. The relations between the infrastructural projects and the basic needs have both intersection points and “gaps” which require active regulation both by the members of the local community and the state. In this context, local people can be seen as the active agents who creatively use the existing in the region infrastructure in order to maintain their food security

Differentiating the Level of Territorial Development of the Transport and Logistics Infrastructure in Ukraine by Adapting the Cluster Analysis Methodology

Recently, much attention has been paid to the ideas and theories that highlight the cluster approach to the territorial organization of the economic system. Separation and development of transport and logistics cluster contributes to the development of competitive advantages, provides the leading position of the country in the world market and enhances the investment attractiveness of the region in which it operates.&#x0D; The use of a multidimensional statistical method of cluster analysis to determine the homogeneity between the individual regions of Ukraine contributes to the identification of transport and logistics cluster. For this reason, the article analyzes the role of cluster analysis in the study of the development of transport and logistics services, shows that the transport and logistics cluster is formed on the basis of the real socio-economic situation in the conditions of a particular territory, taking into account its potential development. It is substantiated that the transport and logistics cluster, in addition to meeting the needs of the economy, performs a number of important functions: it creates opportunities for the development of sectors of the national economy; contributes to the development of the region's infrastructure; increases the investment attractiveness of the region. The conducted research of existing methods of cluster analysis of grouping of regions of Ukraine by the level and potential of development of the market of transport and logistic services has allowed to allocate the considered ways of estimation of efficiency of functioning of the cluster which differ in external and internal effects. A cluster analysis of the territorial level and potential of logistics development in the regions of Ukraine is carried out on the basis of three groups of indicators (socio-economic, transport performance indicators of the region and indicators characterizing the composition of the transport system of the region and its potential opportunities). As a result of the cluster analysis, the regions of Ukraine were grouped into three clusters by the level of logistics development, and into two clusters by the logistics development potential. It is determined that the classification of regions into homogeneous groups will allow to build in each cluster typologically regressive equations of interaction of market factors, which will increase the accuracy of the study of the dynamics of the development of the market environment of regions of potential placement of elements of transport and logistics infrastructure.

Credit and Financial and Payment Infrastructure of Volgograd Region: Trends and Prospects of Development

The aim of the work is to assess the state of the main parameters of credit and financial and payment services of the economy of Volgograd region (institutional provision with banking services, indicators of attraction and investment of funds, retail payment infrastructure) and to establish trends in their dynamics in comparison with the data on Russia and the Southern Federal district. The authors establish that the territorial provision with banking services is characterized by unevenness; the reduction of banking institutions has affected Volgograd region to a greater extent; but the disproportions are partially compensated by the transformation of organizing banking activities, technology and communications according to the digital type. The assessment of indicators of credit and savings services in Volgograd region shows that the greatest credit activity is observed in the sphere of individual lending; loans to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs are declining; deposits, funds in the accounts of legal entities and individuals are growing at a higher rate than in the country as a whole. The assessment of the primary retail infrastructure of the payment market shows that in Volgograd region, in comparison with the Russian Federation, there is an exceeding growth of ATMs and electronic terminals; it is natural to reduce the number of contact imprinters with the simultaneous growth of electronic terminals, which characterizes the strengthening of innovative banking services. Territorial disproportions in the provision of the Russian Federation with credit and financial and payment infrastructure with negative dynamics of Volgograd region are found and that is one of the reasons of lagging of social and economic development of the region. The conditions of credit and financial and payment infrastructure of Volgograd region, the issues concerning mechanisms of leveling the infrastructural availability of financial services in the region due to the diffusion of technological innovations as conductors and channels of remote access to modern financial services can become the directions of further research.

Secondary Cities and Their Development Challenges: The Case of Central Chile Macro Region

The performance of national and regional economies is dependent on a well-functioning system of secondary cities, but they face many development challenges and still receive proportionally lower levels of investment than primary cities. The case study of the Santiago and Central Chile Macro Region (SCCMR) provides interesting insights into a particular spatial typology of secondary cities, the metropolitan cluster, in a middle-income growing regional economy. Fresh thinking by all levels of government and stakeholders in the SCCMR is necessary to identify and formulate policies to address this macro region’s challenges and to support the development of its secondary cities. However, it is still unclear what the spatial structure and functions of this macro region are, and what type of governance arrangement is required. This short paper aims to discuss two general questions in relation to the above: i) what is the main spatial structure of SCCMR? and, ii) is the current administrative arrangement appropriate to manage that spatial structure? To answer these questions, we briefly review some recent and empirical approaches for defining spatial structures based on functional economic units (FEUs), as proposed by the OECD. We then compare that with the actual administrative areas, including also a recent official proposal for creating a metropolitan governance scheme. The FEUs approach shows that the spatial structure of the SCCMR is a combination of three metropolitan systems of cities, led by Santiago. This conclusion needs to be discussed further due to a lack of updated Travel-To-Work (TTW) flow data. Moreover, a more comprehensive system approach should be used to assess the macro region spatial integration, including employment, housing, infrastructure, social service and industry. We conclude this short paper with a critical assessment of the SCCMR governance arrangement and propose a fresh approach to address the governance of this important macro region.

Assessment of the Development of the Social Infrastructure of Russian Regions and its Impact on Demographic Processes

The subject of the study is the demographic development of the regions of the Russian Federation. The dynamics of the key indicators at the federal and local levels define the relevance of the issue. State financial resources aimed at implementing measures to stimulate fertility growth and increase life expectancy often fall flat. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of the elements of the regional social infrastructure on demographic processes. The research methods follow from assessing particular parameters of social infrastructure development, and Rosstat statistical data for 2010–2018, as well as data by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. The authors carried out a structural, correlation data analysis, formed a complex of regression equations, and used the methods of normalization and ranking of indicators. The study resulted in an approach to the sequential convolution of particular indicators, which characterize the development of individual areas of social infrastructure, into integrated indicators for the considered areas; the following determination of the integral indicator of the development of regional social infrastructure as a whole. The authors calculated integral indicators of social infrastructure development for the identified areas in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The scientific novelty of the approach consists in developing a set of integrated indicators, based on the assessment of social infrastructure development aimed at the indicators of natural and migration movement of the population. The authors concluded that the development of public policy measures in the field of demographic development, as well as an appropriate financial base, should consider the impact of social infrastructure elements on the components of demographic development. The results can be useful for building a comprehensive model of socio-economic development of the Russian regions.

Factors and forecast assessments of innovative development of transport infrastructure

Introduction. Due to the introduction of the euro integration vector of the Ukrainian economy development, the modernization and adaptation of the transport infrastructure to the EU standards should take place. For ensuring the efficient operation of transport infrastructure, it is necessary to develop a new, more efficient management model in the form of a national innovative transport HUB. The purpose of the paper is the offering of mechanism for the innovative development of transport infrastructure based on factor and forecast estimates. Results. The proposed mechanism of the state regulation of development of national innovative transport HUB is to transform the impact of the environment as the main source of innovation change, which simultaneously serves as a source of resources that infrastructure as an open system uses at the input of its activities to ensure the expected result. The possibility of implementing the proposed mechanism of the state regulation of development of the national innovative transport HUB was analyzed on the basis of the results of activities of individual entities that are part of the transport infrastructure of the Kyiv region. Conclusion. The simulation results prove that the developed simulation model of innovative behavior of the transport infrastructure objects has considerable potential for explaining the peculiarities of the innovative behavior of the transport infrastructure objects of the Kyiv region, identifying and implementing priority innovative projects. Factor and predictive assessments of the innovative development of transport infrastructure of the Kyiv region, allows to evaluate the impact on the innovative behavior of certain factors, including the degree of development of elements of innovative infrastructure and the effectiveness of measures for state regulation of innovative activity of transport infrastructure objects in the coordinates of two-dimensional matrix “Efficiency-Reliability”.

EXTERNAL TRIGGERS OF INTEGRATION PROCESSES IN CENTRAL ASIA

The article examines the influence of external actors on the processes of integration and regionalization in Central Asia. The authors view Central Asia as a region undergoing reformatting. In their previously published articles, they analyzed intraregional processes that affect integration. In this article, I analyze the role of external actors, namely, global and major regional powers in the formation of the region. The authors note the increased competition from integration projects in the region, especially transport and logistics infrastructure projects. In this regard, the article raises the topic of pairing integration projects proposed by external actors. Using the example of the analysis of attempts to pair the Russian EAEU project and the Chinese one “Belt, One Road”, the authors point to the difficulties of achieving interaction between competing partners. The article notes that in spite of the available resources for using “soft power” in the region, Russia must take into account the growing rivalry on the part of external actors for influence in the region and respond flexibly to emerging challenges.

Diagnóstico técnico da infraestrutura pós-ocupação de regiões periféricas de marabá e proposta da criação de habitações de interesse social (HIS) nessas regiões

A existência de áreas de ocupação indevida, geralmente instituídas nas periferias das grandes cidades, tem se tornado cada vez mais frequentes. O crescimento desordenado de municípios geralmente leva ao surgimento de aglomerados habitacionais com pouco controle por parte dos órgãos competentes. Segundo o 'Plano Diretor Participativo', Marabá está oficialmente subdividida em dezessete distritos. Destes, seis são urbanos pois se encontram na sede do município; os outros onze se encontram na zona rural, sendo, portanto, distritos rurais. O número de bairros dentro do perímetro urbano chega a 96, segundo dados da Prefeitura Municipal de Marabá. Em sua grande maioria, os bairros mais recentes se encontram em regiões periféricas, e são oriundos de invasões territoriais. Esses bairros geralmente não dispõem de infraestrutura apropriada e tampouco dispõe de habitações minimamente necessárias à subsistência humana. É objetivo deste trabalho o desenvolvimento de um diagnóstico técnico da infraestrutura pós-ocupação de regiões periféricas de Marabá, objetivando a elaboração de uma proposta da criação de habitações de interesse social (HIS) nessas regiões. Serão trabalhados os dados referentes aos seguintes pontos: perfil sociodemográfico e econômico dos moradores; pesquisa de satisfação em relação à unidade habitacional atual; levantamento de modificações necessárias nas unidades habitacionais; e levantamento de principais defeitos (patologias das construções) de partes externas das casas. Por conseguinte, será elaborada uma proposta de criação de HIS nessas regiões, como forma de substituir habitações inadequadas, que deverá ser encaminhada ao poder público responsável.

Державно-приватне партнерство як механізм розвитку транспортної інфраструктури Херсонської області

The development of the transport infrastructure of the region remains an important task, which today is solved by means of the mechanism of public-private partnership (PPP). At present, both a sufficient institutional environment and the regulatory support for the implementation of public-private partnership projects have already been created. Kherson region, having an average level of development of transport infrastructure, de facto occupies the near-border position. Therefore, the level of development of infrastructure of the region (in particular, road economy) is of significant strategic importance for the security of the State. The main tasks for the development of transport infrastructure of Kherson region and possible directions of implementation of infrastructure projects are defined. The study showed that only two projects that are not infrastructural are implemented on the basis of PPP in Kherson region. However, the concession of Kherson seaport has been launched – this project is pilot not only in the region, but also in Ukraine. Concluding a concession agreement in seaports is a complex and long-term procedure. Important in the agreement is the determination of the amount of concession payments and the distribution of risks between the project participants. Typically, concessionaires are large international companies (cargo owners or shipowners) or domestic industrial and financial groups that dictate the terms of the contract, so, accordingly, there may be a conflict of interest. This publication defines the essential conditions of this concession project. PPP projects in the road sphere are promising, which should solve a number of problems of the region. The airport «Kherson» is described as a concession object, the scheme of the PPP mechanism concerning it is proposed. It is determined that public-private partnership in the sphere of railway infrastructure is in the process of formation and determination of forms of cooperation.

Інституційні умови розвитку атомно-промислового комплексу та управління радіоактивними відходами в Україні

Trends in the development of the nuclear-industrial complex and radioactive waste management are analyzed. Among the main problems of development of the nuclear-industrial complex and radioactive waste management are the imperfection of the legal framework, lack of investment. The contribution of the nuclear industry of Ukraine to the creation of gross domestic product is not significant, but its role is important in ensuring economic security and achieving energy independence of the country. The state of the nuclear-industrial complex in other countries of the world has been studied. It is expedient to use an innovative approach for the development of the nuclear-industrial complex. This approach is presented as a set of three interrelated blocks, namely: methodological and informational; diagnostic and orientation; evaluation and procedural. Directly, the nuclear-industrial complex, which is a leading link in the nuclear-energy complex of Ukraine, can be considered a complex sector of the national economy, including: uranium production, which creates a basis for meeting the needs of nuclear power plants in natural uranium in the medium and long term; zirconium production, which involves the establishment of zirconium production. The results of the implementation of the regional program for the development of the nuclear-industrial complex should include the following: increasing the competitiveness of enterprises in key strategic industries: nuclear, mining, metallurgy, chemical and mechanical engineering; increasing the innovation of production through the development of scientific potential of the region, the commercialization of the scientific process; development of enterprises on the basis of the latest technologies of industrial waste processing, including for the development of the region's infrastructure; reduction of man-caused load on the environment; creating more attractive and diverse jobs; ensuring the stabilization of social processes in the mining regions. One of the directions of modernization of the nuclear-industrial complex of Ukraine is the creation of SMR reactors (Smallmodularreactor) and its installation instead of the existing ones. Their production must be carried out at Ukrainian enterprises. The necessity of increasing the volume of uranium production, the level of its enrichment and at the same time solving environmental issues on waste disposal is substantiated.

Ways of developing tourism logistics in the far north of Russia

The paper describes the current state of national and international tourism in the Karelian Republic. The authors outline the possible ways of further development of tourism in this region, as well as the ways of attracting both national and international tourists to the region, which is important for the national image. The analysis of the current situation shows that at present there is no adequate infrastructure in Karelia that could satisfy the tourists’ needs.The paper discusses the infrastructure of this Arctic region and highlights the main indicators and factors characterizing the touristic field. The authors propose an algorithm and a model for tourism development in Karelia - the subarctic region of the Russian Federation.

Innovative Ecosystem of Mining Industry

The mining industry belongs to the leading sectors of the global economy. However, the technologies used in it can not always be called innovative. This is due to both the specifics of the industry and the general technological lag of Russian economy. At present, it is almost impossible for individual enterprises to achieve significant success apart. In order for the process of innovative technological development to proceed more intensively, it is necessary to consider it through the prism of the ecosystem, i.e. a set of participants and the corresponding environment of this process, allowing to achieve a synergistic effect. The concept of an innovative ecosystem is based on the triple helix model, which is in turn based on a partnership between the state, science and business. They can interact effectively on the basis of technopark structures, which are a key element of the modern innovation ecosystem. The study was conducted on the basis of the Kemerovo region – a region in which a significant part of the Russian mining industry is concentrated. One of the tools for implementing the ecosystem approach to managing the development of the mining industry should be the main element of the innovation infrastructure of the Kemerovo region – the Kuzbass Technopark.
