Management Of Territorial Development Research Articles

Роль губернаторского корпуса в механизмах снижения социально-экономической дифференциации регионов

Improving theoretical approaches to determining the causes of socio-economic differentiation of Russian regions remains today one of the pressing topics in domestic regional studies. Disproportions in the main economic indicators of regions sometimes reach double-digit values, and progress in eliminating interregional inequalities is not visible. The reasons for the socio-economic gap between regions are complex, primarily due to competitive advantages associated with geographical location and the provision of natural resources. However, regional inequality is also influenced by subjective factors, including the quality of management of territorial development. The article examines the influence of the rotation of the governor's corps on the differentiation of the regions of the Central Federal District.

Социальные факторы территориального развития в российском нормативно-правовом регулировании

The article delves into the modern Russian legislation on territorial development in relation to its human-centeredness at the levels of goal-setting and implementation. It states the existence of a problem in the man-agement of territorial development, which consists in its lack of effectiveness in overcoming the demographic compression of peripheral and semi-peripheral territories. To describe the problematic situation, the author’s concepts of action landscape and action landscaping of territorial development are proposed. Apart from this, the author presents the results of the retrospective analysis of the semantic content of the terms development and management in specialized normative-legal documents, scientific and reference sources. Legislative acts on the management of territorial development are considered in terms of their involvement of the population in the relevant processes on the ground. It is concluded that the current specialized legislation on territorial devel-opment takes into account social factors of territorial development, including the residents’ own vision of the future, grassroots practices and initiatives for its realization, the potential of direct participation of social actors and local communities in the development of territories is insufficient. The prospects for solving the problem are associated with the actualization of the National Projects of Russia.

Innovative principles of territorial development

The features of applying innovative approaches in the system of territorial development have been investigated. The fundamental theoretical principles of innovative socio-economic development of regions and territorial communities have been identified. The preconditions for innovative development of regions and the problems of implementing regional innovation projects are characterized. Virtualization has been characterized as a distinct direction in innovative territorial development. The profiles of IT development in Ukrainian regions as of the end of 2021 have been analyzed. The dynamics of the proportion of state institutions in Ukraine with Internet access have been examined. General directions and possibilities of utilizing virtualization in territorial development have been delineated and characterized. In general, innovations in territorial development are necessary not only to achieve specific goals but also to create reserves for adaptation to changes in the modern world. The use of innovative principles is becoming an essential tool in the structure of modern territorial development management. Territorial development virtualization is an effective tool that can be used to improve the analysis, planning, and implementation of regional projects. It has significant potential to improve the efficiency of regional development management. The analysis indicates that innovations are becoming a key factor determining the competitiveness and sustainability of territorial communities. Using innovative approaches in developing infrastructure, economy, and socio-cultural spheres is extremely important in modern conditions. It is important to emphasize that innovations are not limited to introducing new technologies but also cover efficient resource management, developing educational programs, and creating conditions for developing entrepreneurship and attracting investment. Keywords: territorial development, innovative development, innovations, virtualization.

Acquisition Process of a Territorial Development Management System in the Udmurt Republic in Terms of System Analysis

This article is devoted to the acquisition process of a Territorial Development Management System in the Udmurt Republic, which can be defined as a concept of managing the territory development and urban policy, representing all the actions implemented within the framework of this event as a set of interrelated processes, each of which can also be divided into sub-processes aimed at achieving specific tasks. The complexity of the system makes it difficult to perceive. In this article, the territorial development management system is considered as a process management system, since territorial development implies a set of many processes aimed at achieving the goal. System analysis or its tools, in turn, make it possible to decompose the process of system acquisition into components (stages) that are simpler in terms of complexity. Simplifying the system perception will reduce resources, including time, spent in the process of its development. Thus, the purpose of the scientific work is to present the process of system acquisition for managing territorial development in the Udmurt Republic in terms of system analysis. The paper analyzes the existing problems characteristic of the territorial development process, and also determines the relationship between the development of territories and the urban planning policy pursued by the authorities of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The identified problems are also typical for the Udmurt Republic. The processes that make up the system for managing the territorial development of the region are determined, which made it possible to single out the basic components of such a system: subsystems and elements. In scientific work, the stages of system analysis are defined and expressed in the form of a model that is a reference for system analysis carried out in the development of process control systems. The result of the work is a model (scheme) showing the process of acquisition a Territorial Development Management System in the Udmurt Republic in terms of system analysis. The model reflects the stages of system analysis, adapted in accordance with the purpose of scientific research, indicates their content and implementation method. The use of the obtained scheme in the development of management systems for the territorial development of any region will reduce time costs and increase the manageability of this process.

Management of land resources of rural areas in the context of the paradigm of sustainable development of Ukraine

Aim. To determine the main directions of the formation of innovative agricultural land use of united territorial communities through its multifunctional development in the context of improving the investment climate of rural areas based on the use of innovative levers of their integrated development. The National Security Strategy of Ukraine [1] defines that ensuring environmental and food security belongs to the priority areas of state policy. The land and resource potential of Ukraine is rightly considered the foundation of the national economy. However, the current ecological and economic situation in land use shows that society is not yet sufficiently aware of the real value of land resources. This mainly applies to agricultural lands, since the methods of their use in agricultural production quite often become the root cause of the occurrence of many negative phenomena, which leads to the growth of environmental hazards and manifestations of degradation of productive lands of agricultural landscapes. Methods. Monographic analysis, abstract-logical, comparative and analogues and comparisons, experimental, economic analyses. Results. The article presents the results of scientific research, which were aimed at substantiating priority measures regarding the rational use, protection and reproduction of the productive potential of land resources, ensuring environmental safety in agricultural landscapes. Special attention is paid to the revision of the land resource management strategy in the field of land use, to the deepening of scientific research on the formation of a multifunctional paradigm for the development of rural areas, the implementation of which will ensure rationality, efficiency and environmental friendliness, their use, which will largely determine the level of economic development of the country. Conclusions. The socio-economic trends of the development of rural areas in the context of ensuring the economic and food security of Ukraine were studied. An assessment of the existing socio-economic development potential of rural areas was carried out from the point of view of the prospects of further European integration of our state. The regional aspects of the development of rural areas in the context of increasing their competitiveness in the conditions of the development of the green economy are revealed. Elaborated directions for increasing the efficiency of agricultural land use at the regional level, taking into account the decentralization of territorial development management. A comprehensive system of measures regarding the ecological and economic regulation of the use of land and resource potential by developing a territory organization project with scientific justification of project decisions regarding changes in the structure of agricultural land on the basis of ecologically safe land use has been substantiated and proposed. The theoretical and methodological foundations of organizational and economic support for ecologically balanced agricultural use of land resources in the conditions of transformation of land relations have been analyzed, systematized and deepened. The dynamics of the state of the land fund were studied (on the example of land use in Obukhiv district, Kyiv region, Forest-Steppe zone) with the aim of developing a conceptual structural-logical model of organizational and land-ordering mechanisms for the formation of balanced land use in rural areas for the further development of an innovative ecological and economic model of the organization of the territory of rural land use.

Glazychev Readings as an example of a practice-oriented scientific discussion

The article provides an overview of the speeches at the “Glazychev Readings — 2022” in comparison with the theses of the lecture course of the master’s program “Territorial Development Management”, which was read to the audience by Vyacheslav Leonidovich Glazychev in 2010. The central topic of the conference was the discussion of the master plan “Lipovka — Voronezh”, the development of which was initiated by the mayor of the city. The distinctive features of these readings were their visiting nature in Lipetsk with direct access to the space where the presentation of projects for the transformation of the territory took place. Such a format of the scientific and practical event provided maximum practice-oriented discussions, visibility of innovations, participation in the discussion of the master plan of various stakeholders — officials, scientists, entrepreneurs, architects, builders, residents. The discussion was based around the discussion of two issues — to determine the most harmonious master plan that can satisfy the interests of different actors, and the exchange of experience in monitoring their opinions in order to find a mutual solution for territorial development. The involvement of citizens in project activities and the formation of a participating approach was the answer to the question about the tools for modernizing the management of the development of the territory. These readings became an allusion to V.L.Glazychev’s theses on the “appropriation, development and assimilation” of the territory in the process of understanding the space and prospects for its development.

Međuopštinska saradnja u Srbiji - mogućnosti i praktični dometi

European experiences indicate numerous forms of inter-municipal cooperation, ranging from simpler forms aimed at more efficient and rational management (such as joint local public enterprises or shared administrations) to integrative forms where inter-municipal unions are formed, possessing legal subjectivity and their own governance structure (union assembly, president, budget, etc.). The main purpose of such cooperation models is the collective decision-making on public policies and jointly management of territorial development encompassing multiple municipalities. This can serve as an alternative to formal regionalization and regional self-governance, particularly in cases where the regional level of governance is underdeveloped. These experiences can be valuable for Serbia, considering that formal decentralization has not been embraced as an option by the authorities thus far, despite the need for regional governance, especially in the context of European integration, balanced regional development, and further democratization. The legislator in Serbia has not yet anticipated this kind of complex or integrative inter-municipal cooperation. However, in recent years, there has been a promotion of the idea of inter-municipal cooperation (in simpler forms), which is reflected in the current Law on Local Self-Government, as well as in the initial financial incentives. The paper initially presents the challenges of modern governance and reform directions, as well as the significance and practical scope of inter-municipal cooperation in European countries. Subsequently, the formal-legal possibilities for municipalities in Serbia to cooperate are examined, followed by practical implications and possibilities (based on European practices) that can be developed in the future.

Transformation of the economic role of local self-government in low-urbanized territories in Ukraine: Initial conditions and social perception

Abstract Newly formed territorial communities acquire a real subjectivity in the processes of the management of territorial development: they become responsible for a significant share of day-to-day economic activities within their sphere of responsibility, especially in territories with a predominantly rural population. This article aimed to study the changing role of local self-government in ensuring the economic development of the low-urbanized territory, determining public opinion and expectations of residents from local governments in the new conditions. A public opinion poll of residents living in selected local communities was conducted. This article identified the objective factors of the level and pace of newly formed territorial communities’ development in Ukraine. It has been proved that the decentralization of power changes the role of local government and the expectations of residents from it and their assessments of the situation at the local level.

Environmental Challenges for Fragile Economies: Adaptation Opportunities on the Examples of the Arctic and Iraq

The impact of climate change in the Arctic, due to the nature of its ecosystem, the wealth of natural resources and the intensification of activities for their production, is becoming more and more significant and leads to an aggravation of environmental problems in this territory. The situation is even more complicated by the imperfection of legislation and the lack of agreement between neighboring states. Despite the special location of the Arctic zone, similar problems can be found in other states. The purpose of this work is to consider environmental challenges for unstable economies on the example of the Arctic zone and the state of Iraq, to determine the possibilities of adapting similar methods to eliminate existing problems. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved in the article: 1. The environmental problems of the Arctic were identified and their similarity with the problems of Iraq was substantiated. 2. It is demonstrated that in order to solve environmental problems related to the impact of climate change, environmental protection and resource management in fragile economy states, it is necessary to create an effective management system at the global, regional and national levels; it is proved that there is a need to improve legal provisions for effective protection of fragile states from risks associated with human activities. The research methods used in this study include a systematic analysis of economic, social, and cultural conditions, including a review of statistical data and various sources. Emerging opportunities for Arctic exploration and exploitation pose a threat to the Arctic environment. Its protection is currently based on too many, often conflicting, international agreements, the domestic legislation of the Arctic states and the recommendations of the Arctic Council. It has been shown that the risk of irreparable damage is particularly high in the case of gas flaring or oil spills from an oil rig or tanker. The problems identified in this article are applicable not only to the Arctic but also to other territories with “fragile” economies such as Iraq, where the oil and gas industry is a strategic factor. Despite the obvious differences, in particular, in climatic conditions, territorial development management has common methodological approaches. The political aspects of such research are the development of unified approaches that enable territories with challenging conditions to adopt the best-integrated practices in the field of management.

Applying Customer-Oriented Approach in the System of Strategic Management of Territorial Development of the Municipalities in the Republic of Armenia

Today a citizen is considered as a «client» and he evaluates municipal services provided. The evaluation of such services can be done using such criteria as: compliance with quality standards, information support, time costs, financial costs, accessibility, customer focus of local governments, providing feedback, accessibility for all population groups and the «impression» of municipal services. We analyzed the relevance of «Customer Relationship Management» (CRM) that can be identified as a strategy that is used to learn more about the needs and behavior of the population to local governance. The purpose of our research was to prove the necessity of using the customer-oriented approach while providing municipal services in the Republic of Armenia. The use of that managerial model will make it possible to increase the efficiency of local authorities’ activity and the loyalty of citizens. The research methodology is based on practical developments of the Management theories, originally created for commercial organizations. The study found necessary conditions to implement those developments in the field of public administration of the Republic of Armenia with the aim of improving relations between local authorities and citizens. The information and empirical basis of the study was statistical reports and summary data of the municipal development programs in the Republic of Armenia. The object of research were large municipalities in the Republic of Armenia with a population of more than 100 000 people. The scientific novelty lies in the development and adaptation of the «Customer Relationship Management» — model’s elements that could be used by local authorities in large municipalities of the Republic of Armenia.

Institutional imbalances in the territorial development management model

Introduction. It is extremely important to improve the management of territorial development and to determine the priorities of state regional policy and to harmonize national, regional and local interests. At the present stage, the institutional support for the development of territories is characterized by the slowness of state measures to implement reforms, the inconsistency of regional and local development and «point» bills. Therefore, today there is an urgent need to explore the essence of institutional imbalances and their impact on the management of territorial development.Purpose of the research. Research of defining features of the development of territories, the characteristics of the evolutionary transformations of the state regional policy of Ukraine and the definition of institutional imbalances in the modern management model and their impact on the development of territories.Research methods. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used: system analysis, systematization, generalization - to identify signs of development of territories; chronological - to study the peculiarities of the evolutionary transformations of the state regional policy of Ukraine; institutional analysis - to determine the impact of institutional imbalances on the development of territories.Results. The signs of the development of territories are highlighted, namely: the impact of the development of territories on the national economy as a whole; rational use of various territorial resources through effective institutional mechanisms and management tools; development is always associated with the spatial organization of the territory; the real development of territories is based on partnership relations between public authorities, business representatives and the public. The features of evolutionary transformations and the current state and specificity of the state regional policy of Ukraine are investigated: from smoothing disproportions in regional development and solving point chronic problems to socio-economic cohesion and unity of the country and sustainable growth in the quality of human life, regardless of where he was born, where he lives now and where he will live in the future. It has been proved that decentralization is primarily due to the declared state regional policy, which determines the scale and pace of reforms, and that the relationship between decentralization and the development of territories is ambiguous, since in the context of the new state regional policy, the problems of institutional support for managing the development of territories lead to a number of contradictions and imbalances. , namely: the formation of a hierarchical system of regional and local authorities has not been completed; low involvement of state authorities and local self-government bodies at the district and regional level in the processes of organizing cooperation between territorial communities; lack of a full-fledged system for monitoring the impact of reforms on the development of territories; inadequate participation in the territorial development management model of the Regional Development Agencies; the development of territories requires not only their effective functioning, but also ensuring economic security. It has been determined that the development of territories requires both the effectiveness of measures of state regional policy and the development of local authorities, since the decentralization reform itself will be perceived as an expansion of the powers of local authorities, and therefore the ability of local residents to develop, finance and implement local policy.Perspectives. In the conditions of realization of the new state regional policy the prospects of further scientific researches are directions of improvement of institutional maintenance of management of development of territories.

Чинники просторового розвитку територіальних громад у системі публічного управління територіями

The processes of globalization of the economy and internationalization of mutual relations inherent in the modern world have changed the importance and role of participants within the society of each country, led to the redistribution of obligations and responsibility between them in the process of managing spatial socioeconomic development at the sites. Currently, there is a tendency to reduce the role of the State in the processes of organizing the management of territorial development, while the subjects of external and internal socioeconomic relations are more often represented by regions and territorial communities. Organizing effective public administration at the sites in order to improve the well-being of the own communities and ensure sustainable development requires more considered, strategic, planned, ambitious, innovative, etc. solutions. An analysis of theoretical and methodological approaches to determining the factors of the development of regions, territories, hromadas for use in practical activities directly affects the efficiency of the functioning of the system of territorial local self-government, the ability to perform the assigned powers, ensure a high level of quality of life of citizens along with a sustainable development of the territory. The authors of theories and models of spatial development considered the development of territories from the point of view of a wide range of factors of influence: geographical, administrative, economic, social, political, innovative, etc. Effective management of territorial development in modern conditions becomes relevant not only from the point of view of the need to solve existing problems, but also to expand opportunities for self-development of territories. However, the issues of finding modern and effective theoretical and methodological approaches to determine the factors of spatial development of regions (territories, hromadas) and their use in the system of public administration at different levels, particularly at the local, remain relevant for Ukraine.

Management of Territorial Development Based on the “Smart City” Concept: Directions and Risks

Management of Territorial Development Based on the “Smart City” Concept: Directions and Risks

Аналіз теоретико-методичних підходів до визначення та подолання регіональних проблем у системі публічного управління регіонами в Україні

The topic of public administration of regions remains relevant for all countries of the world in different historical periods of society development. The effectiveness of regional policy on the basis of timely identification and solution of existing territorial problems is the basis for finding ideas and approaches to the formation and functioning of an efficient system of public management of the development of a country as a whole and its regions in particular. Features of the functioning of world countries in different time periods of their existence, such as, for example, the change of tendencies, the emergence of contradictions, the acquisition of importance of certain major ideas for the formation of areas of territorial management under different conditions of development, led to the emergence of a number of theories that in the practical field have become the basis for the development of a methodology for public management of regional development, allowing to determine the principles, priorities, directions, methods of formation and functioning, mechanisms and models of development and management, ways of using resources, and so on. Using them allows to explain and anticipate the tendencies in the development of regions, develop approaches to identifying and overcoming territorial problems, and form instruments for practical implementation. A significant number of theories of regional development proposed in the scientific circle, in accordance with the similarity of goals and directions of implementation, are united into groups. These are theories of spatial placement, neoclassical, cumulative growth, self-development and competitiveness, sustainability, etc. At the stage of the contemporary development of Ukraine, characterized by the introduction of decentralization processes into public management of territorial development, the generalization of many years of world experience (in particular, European) along with the accumulated national experience, the use of the theoretical foundations of regional management will contribute to further improvement and search for new scientific and methodological approaches to identifying the problems of the development of Ukrainian regions and ways to solve them.

Towards a research agenda for City-regions in Vietnam

City-regional research in Vietnam is not new, yet the literature has been rather scattered and research gaps are perceptible. The current transitional context in spatial and socio-economic development planning in Vietnam presents new requirements for management and policy-making as well as a more comprehensive approach to city-regions - the urban form that has increasingly become the living and working reality of urban residents. The purpose of the article is to invite the attention of the scientific community towards the study of city-regions in the future. Through a systematic review of relevant contemporary studies; the article identifies three groups of current research ‘gaps’ from which four practical, output-focused research directions in the coming time are proposed: (1) research in association with the improvement of the legal framework for city-regions, (2) theoretical research to further clarify the understanding of city-regions in the specific conditions of Vietnam, (3) empirical research on city-regions given the availability of existing data as well as research methods that can be utilized when data availability is improved, (4) research on institutions and governance at the city-regional level. Hopefully with more active academic engagement, the city-regions will soon receive the recognition and attention worthy of their status as important socio-economic units in the urban system and the territorial development management system in Vietnam in the future.

Development of environmental projects at the level of public administration

The article is devoted to the issues of improving the ecological condition of territories. territorial development is a complex and multifaceted issue. One of the main priorities of territorial development today is the issue of ecology. Environmental problems are global in nature. However, their solution belongs to the competence not only of international environmental organizations, but, first of all, of central authorities at the state level and territorial communities at the local level. One of the effective methods of analysis of the ecological condition of the territory for further development of mechanisms for cleaning the environment is the Habitat method. The methodology is proposed by the UN and is actively implemented to analyze the ecological status of territories. The article analyzes some elements of the methodology of assessment of territories, gives an example of analysis of territorial development of one of the cities of Ukraine. Based on the analysis, an algorithm for assessing the ecological condition of the territory has been developed and ways to form environmental policy at the territorial level through the formation of effective mechanisms for public management of territorial development have been proposed.

Strategic Territorial Development Management (on the Example of the Karaganda Region)

Strategic Territorial Development Management (on the Example of the Karaganda Region)

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT OF RESTAURANT BUSINESS VINNYTSIA

The article provides an essential description of the concept of «service economy», defines its difference from the «industrial economy». Approaches to the definition of the term «restaurant business» are considered. Taking into account the specifics of the restaurant business, it is proposed to use the concept of «service landscape», which provides comfort of the institution, convenience of its location, perfection of interior, quality of service, implementation and use of innovative technologies of restaurant business. During the study, the algorithm and methodological basis for choosing a strategy for the development of the service economy sector of the region - restaurant business, based on identifying its prospects and attractiveness and allow on a systematic basis to link the prerequisites and conditions of enterprise development with restaurant product differentiation. As a result of the morphological analysis, the restaurants of the city of Vinnytsia were identified by the type of competitive behavior. This allowed to develop a combined strategy for the development of the city's restaurant business, which is based on the formation of compatibility of key market competencies with the core competencies of the restaurant business. The study the consequences of the strategy for the development of the restaurant business in Vinnytsia, which will improve the tourist infrastructure of the city, increase the number of employees in the service sector and, accordingly, tax revenues to the local budget, as well as improve cultural leisure opportunities for residents and guests. The combination of realization of the project-target approach of development of restaurant business with program-target methods of management of territorial development is substantiated. Projects for the development of the restaurant business have been developed in two directions: projects for the differentiation of the restaurant product and projects for strengthening the service landscape, focused on the development of a culture of restaurant service and innovative ways of serving customers. It is established that the implementation of the developed combined strategy for the development of the restaurant business in Vinnytsia with the use of a project approach will increase the share of turnover of the restaurant business and achieve a number of positive socio-economic results.

NEW APPROACH TO THE COMPREHENSIVE RECONSTRUCTION OF HISTORICAL QUARTERS

The article provides a retrospective analysis of existing approaches to the complex reconstruction of block buildings, which developed against the background of various scientifi c paradigms. Within the framework of the paradigm of territorial development management, a new investment and prognostic approach to the complex reconstruction of historical quarters is proposed on the example of Samara. The historic quarter is viewed as a planning module for the transformation processes of a sett lement. Reconstruction of the historical quarter is presented in the aggregate of problems of preserving and developing its buildings, providing residents with the necessary level of engineering, social and transport infrastructures. A method for calculating the rates of return for complex reconstruction is proposed, which serves to test the modes of the security zoning proposed for a historical sett lement. Particular att ention is paid to the preparation of initial data for calculating the rates of return for complex reconstruction for a number of quarters selected as reference.
