An Improved Framework of Major Function-Oriented Zoning Based on Carrying Capacity: A Case Study of the Yangtze River Delta Region

Major function-oriented zoning, a key spatial planning strategy in China, aims to coordinate resource endowments, socio-economic development, and subsequent planning initiatives. However, the existing framework for major function-oriented zoning relies predominantly on socio-economic statistical indicators at the regional level, often neglecting the critical role of carrying capacity. To address this limitation, we assessed both the current state and dynamic trends of the carrying capacity to identify risk and advantageous zones for major functions, with the objective of optimizing major function-oriented zoning in the Yangtze River Delta region, China. Our findings indicate that 47 counties are experiencing significant pressure under the current carrying capacity, while 57 counties exhibit a deteriorating trend in their capacity. Over half of the counties are categorized as having an overloaded carrying capacity. Based on this analysis, 66 counties have been designated as risk zones for major functions. Consequently, the optimization of major function-oriented zoning requires adjustments in 10 counties, incorporating the identified risk and advantageous zones to enhance spatial planning efficacy. This study proposes an enhanced methodological framework for major function-oriented zoning by fully integrating carrying capacity assessments, offering substantial support for territorial spatial planning in China. We believe that these improvements contribute significantly to more resilient and sustainable regional development strategies.

Review of biodiversity assessment and resource management orientation for sustainable rural development in Lang Son province, Vietnam

This study examines the conservation and biodiversity management efforts in Lang Son province, Vietnam, in the context of global environmental concerns. Under Decision No 2447/QD-UBND, the province’s Special-use Forest Planning focuses on conserving areas such as the Huu Lien Nature Reserve and the Mau Son special-use forests. This initiative covers a substantial planned land area to sustain biodiversity and foster rural development up to 2030. Recent surveys indicate a notable increase in plant species within these areas, from 842 species in 2017 to 961 in 2019, and significant efforts towards conserving endangered species like the Asiatic black bear and the Annam flying frog. The province encompasses diverse ecosystems spread across 832,075.82 ha, characterized by varied terrains and climates contributing to its rich biodiversity. These regions are crucial for various species, including those listed in conservation documents, such as the 77 plant species recorded. RAP-Plant analysis and Monte Carlo simulation indicate that Lang Son’s biodiversity, with a Shannon index of 2.85 and Simpson index of 0.75, is threatened by a projected forest area decline to 514,578.61 ha by 2040, risking extinction for rare species like Hoang dan and Lan kim tuyen. Furthermore, Lang Son’s strategic initiatives towards sustainable agricultural practices, forest management, and restoration efforts highlight the integration of biodiversity conservation into broader socio-economic development plans. The province’s approach aligns with global strategies emphasizing the protection of endangered and endemic species as essential to maintaining ecological balances and supporting sustainable development. This study underscores the importance of comprehensive regional planning and community engagement in biodiversity conservation efforts to mitigate economic development, illegal activities, and climate change challenges. Threats such as illegal logging and habitat fragmentation persist, necessitating more vital community-based conservation efforts and robust legal frameworks.

Assessment of the status of PM2.5 and ground-level O3 pollution variations and meteorological factor effects: A case study in Long An Province, Vietnam

Abstract Long An Province has a favorable geographical position in socio-economic development exchanges and is a fundamental bridge between the area of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and the Southeast localities with the Southwestern provinces. Along with the master plan for socio-economic development with a vision for 2030, the province’s air quality issues, especially PM2.5 and surface O3 pollution, will be complex and pose many challenges to effective air pollution management and control. This study aims to investigate the effects of major meteorological characteristics (temperature–T, relative humidity–RH, surface pressure–P, and wind speed–WS) on temporal changes in the correlation between PM2.5 and surface O3 concentrations in Long An province in the 2018-2020 period (computed by a system of coupled WRF/CMAQ models) through trend evaluation using by Mann-Kendall (MK) Test and Theil-Sen Slope, and Pearson correlation analysis. The study results reported that in terms of temporal variations, both value levels of PM2.5 and O3 in the dry season tended to surpass that in the rainy season. Moreover, PM2.5 levels tended to exceed the 24-hour mean threshold (between 1.001 and 3.14 times) and the annual mean threshold (from 1.81 to 2.03 times) of the Vietnamese National Ambient Air Quality Standard. Based on the Pearson correlation analysis, significant influences of meteorological conditions on the pollution status of PM2.5 and surface O3 were also demonstrated, such as the different positive and negative correlations of each meteorological factor on concentration. These outstanding results serve as an essential reference for developing air quality targets and proposing future air pollutant control measures in Long An Province.

Конкурентоустойчивость экономики региона как квазикорпорации с позиции системного подхода

The presented article describes the essence and economic content of a quasi-corporate approach to the management of modern regions, which are independent subjects of economic relations with key stakeholders of their development. As part of the study, the author's approach to the formation of competitive sustainability of the regional economy is presented based on systemic management of the competitiveness and investment attractiveness of the territorial product. The result of the study was a strategic matrix of measures to achieve the competitive sustainability of the region, which can be implemented in the road maps of executive authorities to clarify plans for long-term socio-economic development in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and also a conceptual model for managing the competitive sustainability of the region has been developed from the perspective of a systems approach, which complements current economic research in this field.

Analyzing Rice land changes using Remote sensing and GIS in Ben Tre province, Viet nam

Ben Tre province is located at the downstream of the Mekong river system where there are three ecosystems: saline, brackish and freshwater, which create favorable conditions for the development of the horticultural economy and the marine economy. Faced with the impact of climate change and market demand, agricultural planning has been adjusted to land use planning. In which, the rice land area was adjusted to decrease to suit the actual situation. This study applies Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to assess the change process in the rice land area of Ben Tre province over 6-time points 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2023. Through land cover classification results from Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellite image data, the study analyzes the process of converting rice land to other land types. From there, the study evaluates the effectiveness of converting agricultural land use purposes. The research results contribute to connecting the master plan for socio-economic development with land use planning in the future.

Applying an Analytic Hierarchy Process and a Geographic Information System for Assessment of Land Subsidence Risk Due to Drought: A Case Study in Ca Mau Peninsula, Vietnam

The increase in extreme weather events causes secondary hazards that can influence people and the environment enormously. The Ca Mau Peninsula is known as one of the areas most severely affected by drought, and excessive groundwater exploitation is one of the reasons leading to a higher risk of land subsidence. This study uses the Delphi method and the KAMET rule table to analyze and select indicators that affect subsidence. The study uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analytical hierarchy method to evaluate the weights of influencing factors, combined with geographic information system (GIS) technology to overlay the map layers of the main influencing factors and build a subsidence risk warning zoning map of the study area. The influencing factors selected to evaluate the impact on land subsidence in the study area during the drought period included geological structure, soil characteristics, groundwater flow exploitation, water flow in the dry season, current land use status, and evaporation in the dry season. The weights of these factors were evaluated based on the synthesis of relevant documents as well as consultation with experts. The results indicate that nearly two-thirds of the Ca Mau Peninsula area is currently at very low or low risk of subsidence. Meanwhile, 23% of the area is at medium risk, nearly 9% is at high risk, and 0.1% of the study area is at very high risk. Subsidence risk warning zoning maps can provide a visual and general overview of areas with high subsidence risk, supporting managers in making reference plans for socio-economic development in the Ca Mau Peninsula.

Photovoltaic systems promote grassland restoration by coordinating water and nutrient uptake, transport and utilization

The extensive use of fossil fuels puts ecological and economic coordinated development at risk. Photovoltaic systems relieve the pressure of resource extraction and energy generation on climate change, and their installation and module operation affect vegetation productivity and grassland restoration by changing the microenvironment and ecosystem processes. However, it is still unclear whether plants adapt to these changes in photovoltaic systems to sustain their growth. Here, combined stable isotope techniques with plant traits, plant adaptations to photovoltaic systems at different scales were analyzed from the perspectives of water and nutrient sources, uptake, transport, and utilization. The results showed that photovoltaic systems increased water uptake by the dominant species Leymus chinensis from the top 10 cm of the soil and the aboveground biomass. This was associated with strong plasticity of roots and conduction tissues, which improved resource uptake from the fertile surface soil and transport within the plant, and promoted photosynthesis and leaf water loss by inducing stomatal opening. Different from fixed photovoltaic systems, tracking photovoltaic systems improved ecosystem water use efficiency and surface soil nutrient availability by reducing soil temperature. Tilting tracking photovoltaic systems especially promoted biomass accumulation and grassland restoration. The study suggested that photovoltaic systems promoted vegetation restoration of grassland ecosystem in semi-arid region through the water and nutrient coordination and the carbon-water coupling, and provides a solution for reasonable planning of photovoltaic industry and sustainable socio-economic development.

Противоречия экономики России и механизм их разрешения в условиях импортозависимости

The article examines the modern economic model of Russia and the gaps in the existing import substitution policy. In the course of the work, contradictions of economic institutions were identified, the structural causes of the crisis of the debt build-up model, the question of the introduction of a sovereign development plan was raised, the definition of the plan was given, conditions for sustainable economic growth were described, a model of the economy of innovative development was proposed, taking into account the mistakes of the “debt build-up economy” with the aim of developing Russia as a center of global importance. Based on the analysis, the proposals for the transition to a new economic policy and the use of tools for its implementation on the ba-sis of a system of short- and long-term state planning of socio-economic development are substantiated. A methodology for the formation of a unified strategy for socio-economic development is proposed in order to mitigate emerging strategic risks in the context of external aggression.

ПОЧЕМУ РЕГИОНУ НЕОБХОДИМА РАЗРАБОТКА СТРАТЕГИИ ИННОВАЦИОННОГО РАЗВИТИЯ

The paper examines the strategy of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation and its subjects, which is regulated by documents at the federal level. The federal law is the basic basis for the development of documents for the socio-economic development of the subjects of the federation (including regions). As a rule, they provide for the growth of indicators that are significant and determine the development of the main areas of activity of a particular entity; in fact, the results achieved are extrapolated for a long time (5-10 years). This study shows that in conditions where it is necessary to ensure the technological and technical self-sufficiency of the country, a new paradigm of development of the country and its subjects based on breakthrough innovations is required and, consequently, the development of new strategic-level documents reflecting the strategy of innovative development of the Russian Federation and its subjects (in particular, regions). The document should contain a long-term choice of priority areas and directions of innovative development, desired benchmarks for the future state of the region, and the development of appropriate mechanisms to achieve them. Given these circumstances, planning to simply build on the results achieved is not effective. It is necessary to change the basis for the development of socio-economic development plans and, consequently, the strategy of innovative development of the subject. The authors of this paper propose to develop a strategy for the innovative development of the region based on an assessment of its innovative potential, which determines the capabilities and level of readiness of the region to create and implement innovations to achieve strategic goals. The paper presents the components of the integral indicator of the level of innovative potential of the subject, as well as the possibility of its increase.

Sustainable Tourism in the World Heritage Town Luang Prabang, Lao PDR

This paper discusses the role of local institutions in promoting sustainable tourism in Luang Prabang, Laos, with a focus on SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. The study uses qualitative research methods to gather from stakeholders and examines the synergies and trade-offs among various SDGs, the strategies for balancing different priorities, the importance of positive stakeholder relationships and consultations, and the future challenges facing the tourism industry in Luang Prabang. The socio-economic development plan for Luang Prabang Province prioritizes political stability, protection of cultural and natural heritage, sustainable agriculture, education and healthcare, hydroelectric power, and commercial and financial development. Despite challenges, Luang Prabang Province has made significant progress in implementing its socio-economic development plan over the past two years. However, several challenges still need to be addressed, including economic growth lacking rationality, income and development disparities between urban and rural regions, inadequate educational and healthcare services, preservation of cultural heritage and effective management of tourism resources, inadequate labor skills development and land management, budgetary constraints, deficiencies in policies and mechanisms for private investment, and the impact of social deprivation on progress and development. The province aims to address these challenges by enhancing political education and training, prioritizing rural development and employee welfare, eliminating poverty and uplifting living standards, seeking input from diverse ethnic backgrounds, addressing political resistance and limitations, and cultivating the province to attain prosperity and resilience.

Statistical Assessment of the Product Innovation Impact on Employment and Wages in Ukrainian Industry

Innovation activity of industrial enterprises is one of the most important prerequisites for the socio-economic development of the country. Innovations contribute to the growth of labor productivity, value added and profit, and, consequently, to an increase in the level of wages. Studies of patterns of the product innovation impact (measured as an indicator of the share of innovative products in industrial sales) on employment and wages in the industrial sector of the economy has, therefore, significant theoretical and practical importance. The purpose of the article is a statistical assessment of the relationships between product innovation and employment, as well as between product innovation and wages in Ukrainian industry. Analytical confirmation of a significant decrease in the level of product innovation and employment in Ukrainian industry over the past decades is provided. Using correlation-regression analysis methods, it was empirically proven that there is a high positive correlation between the innovativeness of products and the share of industry in the employment structure of the Ukrainian economy. A regression model was built, allowing to determine how the employment in Ukrainian industry will change with changing the product innovativeness by 1 pp. Almon’s method was used to build a distribution-lag model (with a lag of three years) reflecting a high positive dependence of the index of average monthly salary of a full-time employee in the Ukrainian industry on the growth of the product innovation index. On the basis of proven regularities, a deterministic econometric model for optimization of the technological structure of realized industrial products and innovative products in the context of manufacturing industry was developed and tested at the level of Ukraine; the model was used in estimations by linear programming technique. The optimization criterion is a product innovation increase. The results of modeling lay a theoretical basis for strategic macroeconomic planning and socio-economic forecasting, as they allow for choosing a target optimization function at which wages in the manufacturing industry of Ukraine will reach the desired value.
 Innovative activity of industrial enterprises is one of the most important prerequisites for the socio-economic development of the country. Innovations contribute to the growth of labor productivity, added value and profit, and as a result, to an increase in the level of wages. Accordingly, the study of patterns of impact of product innovation (expressed as an indicator of the share of innovative products in the volume of industrial products sold) on employment and wages in the industrial sector of the economy has significant scientific and applied importance. The purpose of the article is a statistical assessment of the relationships between product innovation and employment, as well as between product innovation and wages in Ukrainian industry. Analytical confirmation of a significant decrease in the level of product innovation and employment in Ukrainian industry over the past decades. With the help of correlation-regression analysis methods, it has been empirically proven that there is a high direct relationship between the innovativeness of products and the share of industry in the structure of employment in the Ukrainian economy. A regression model has been built, with the help of which it is possible to determine how employment in Ukrainian industry will change when the innovativeness of products changes by 1 p.p. Using Almon’s method, a distribution-lag model (with a lag of three years) was built, which reflects the high direct dependence of the index of the average monthly salary of a full-time employee of the Ukrainian industry on the growth of the index of product innovation. On the basis of proven regularities, a deterministic economic-mathematical model for optimization of the technological structure of realized industrial products and innovative products in the context of production of the processing industry was developed and tested at the level of Ukraine, which was solved by the method of linear programming. The optimization criterion is the increase in product innovation. The results of modeling form a scientific basis for strategic macroeconomic planning and forecasting of socio-economic development, as they allow choosing such a target optimization function at which wages in the processing industry of Ukraine will reach the desired value.

Кластерный анализ арктических поселений Якутии с позиции концепции резильентности

Shifting the focus from the anti-crisis agenda to the tasks of contributing to the achievement of national goals in the Arctic requires the development of new approaches to the implementation of state policy in these territories of the Russian Federation, taking into account modern trends: reconfiguring relations with the vector to the East and reorienting to the development of anchor settlements as geostrategic points of Russia. In modern realities, priorities have been set – the development of the Northern Sea Route and mineral resource centers, the im-plementation of economic and infrastructure projects, and the creation of a new Arctic economy. New ap-proaches are also required to “fine-tune” the tools to increase/ensure the sustainability of the economic sys-tems of strategically important Arctic regions. In this regard, an assessment of the socio-economic develop-ment of the municipal districts of the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) using cluster analysis is given. In the article it is considered by the authors as an effective tool of “pre-planning” and one of the tools for selecting potential candidate settlements for inclusion in the list of strategic territories of the Arctic, which is es-pecially relevant in the light of the forthcoming development by the executive authorities of master plans for the development of reference settlements of the Arctic zone of Russia and comprehensive plans for socio-economic development until 2035.

ЗАХОДИ З ПОКРАЩЕННЯ ЕКОЛОГІЧНОГО СТАНУ ДОВКІЛЛЯ У ЗОНІ ВПЛИВУ АВТОМОБІЛЬНИХ ДОРІГ

Introduction. In the context of the modern development of the automotive industry and the road sector as a whole, the level of technogenic load on the environment from the operation of the road complex is increasing. Therefore, measures to minimize the negative impact of the operation of roads are becoming increasingly important. Problem Statement. Unlike the countries of the European Union, Ukraine has not properly developed the provision of environmentally friendly technologies, the introduction of regulatory and legal support for the mandatory integration of environmental policy into other documents containing the principles of state, sectoral regional and local development, the introduction of approaches to environmental, socio-economic development planning, the elimination of the dependence of economic growth on the increased use of natural resources and increased environmental pollution, the formation of a system of environmental protection from the impact of roads - these principles are the basis for the development and implementation of a set of measures to ensure environmental safety in the road sector. Purpose. To determine the level of environmental safety of the entire road complex, to identify changes in the environmental legislation of Ukraine, and to analyze the strategy of the state environmental policy of Ukraine.

Framework for considering the interactions between climate change, socio-economic development and land use planning in the assessment of future flood risk

Flood risk is expected to increase significantly around the globe, fuelled by the nexus between flooding and land use. This is because changes in land use due to socio-economic development increase runoff, as well as the “values-at-stake” exposed to flooding. At the same time, changes in flood extent and depth can impact land use via policy interventions aimed at reducing future flood risk, such as buy-backs and zoning. Existing approaches to flood risk assessment and mitigation have generally ignored this two-way interaction between flooding and land use. To address this shortcoming, an integrated framework considering the dynamics of future changes in the flood-land use nexus is introduced and applied to the Gawler River region, South Australia. Results indicate that changes in land use due to socio-economic drivers can have a significantly greater impact on flood losses than climate change and that zoning can be effective in reducing future flood risk.

Дополнение системы стратегического планирования источниками финансирования

Strategic planning of socio-economic development is one of the most important state functions. In advanced countries, the modern state represents the interests of the whole society with all its social and age strata. Its actions rely on forecasting the trends in national and global development. The state defines national interests, goals, and development priorities to implement them through strategic plans, programs, projects, and development institutions. The mainstream economic thought does not justify the state intervention into the market. However, the modern practice of public administration has proven the need for strategic planning of socio-economic development as a prerequisite for successful economic growth. The research objective was to identify the methodological foundations of effective strategic planning. It relied on such traditional methods of scientific research as analysis, synthesis, generalization, and comparison. Despite the poor representation of the topic in scientific journals, the author formulated methodological recommendations that can be applied in practice when adjusting public policy.

A BLUEPRINT FOR EUROPEAN UNION ECONOMIC INTEGRATION THROUGH SOCIAL ECONOMY INNOVATION

Romania, a member of the European Union (EU) since 2007, has been riding the high-hopes-low-expectations EU integration carousel for over a decade and a half. Its resilient, dwindling and aging population has seen its share of shattered dreams, stemmed from the 40-year failed communist social experiment, and continuing into the ill-fated socio economic reforms of the 90s. While joining the EU marketplace seemed initially the right answer to all the economic worries, the difficulty in implementing and adapting to the new socio-economic structures, and laws, created new headwinds for the already fragile Romanian business space. With an overstretched public sector marred by corruption, with private sector battered by the headwinds of countless fiscal reforms, and a frail voluntary sector, the country is still trying to find its economic footing, and a master plan for socio-economic development is needed more than ever. We posit that a profit-making, commercial structures, such as the social enterprise, which has its primary goal to achieve certain social objectives, has the potential to make a strong business, societal, and environmental impact. Our qualitative, interventionist research methodology aims to bring more arguments in favor of adding social entrepreneurship skills such as creative bricolage, as well as soft skills like critical thinking and empathy to the business toolkit competencies, in order to improve the business paradigm. Our attempts to measure the social enterprise model impact on rural economies are intended to work towards creating a blueprint for sustainable, long term economic growth, and ease the integration within the EU business model.

A novel Spatio-temporal principal component analysis based on Geary's contiguity ratio

Multivariate statistics have gained a respectable place in quantitative research, especially in the economic geography, socio-economic development, urban and regional planning and spatio-temporal analysis. The main goal is to reduce multidimensional data to simple, but meaningful representative information. One of the powerful methods in multivariate statistics is Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The aim of this paper is to define a novel Spatio-Temporal Principal Component Analysis (STPCA). It is the first solution that sensibly combines at the same time variability of the values of the observed features, time of observation of the considered features and place of observation. It is therefore a solution for spatio-temporal data and a very valuable tool for practitioners wishing to obtain useful inferences from a PCA. The inclusion of the time and place of observation, in addition to the variability of the values of features, results in more detailed division of the examined objects into homogeneous clusters. Space and time, which interact with each other, are used on equal terms in the construction of the STPCA. The definition of these principal components is based on the product of two factors. The first factor is equal to the variance of the functional principal components, and the second factor is Geary's contiguity ratio C. The proposed new method of Spatio-Temporal Principal Components was used to show the mutual location of 16 Polish regions characterized by 12 socio-economic features observed in the years 2002–2018 in the system of the first two principal components and to identify homogeneous clusters of these regions in the system of all 15 constructed principal components.

Socio-Economic Development of Tibet in the 7th Five-Year Plan (1986–1990). Part 5

The fourth stage of the socio-economic development of Tibet (1979–1985) was characterized by the beginning of the transition of its planned economy to a market economy, taking into account the Tibetan characteristics (Russian-Chinese Research, 2022, No. 4). In 1983, the State Council of the People's Republic of China began work on drawing up the next seventh five-year plan for the country's socio-economic development for 1986–1990. The developers set a triune task: firstly, to create favorable conditions and maintain a balance between aggregate demand and supply. Secondly, to ensure stable economic growth. Third, continue to improve the quality of life of the people. The 7th Five-Year Plan has become a true "strength test" of the People's Republic of China (including the Tibet Autonomous Region): numerous challenges in the field of economy, politics, social relations, demanded from the authorities of all levels of wisdom, endurance, foresight and vigorous action. This has led the TAP to achieve higher economic performance than the PRC as a whole.

ANALYSIS OF THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO IMPROVING THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF UKRAINE

The article summarizes scientific and methodological principles of strategic planning of socio-economic development at the regional level in Ukraine. The main goal of strategic planning of regional development is determined and the main stages of developing a system of regional economic development forecasts are considered. The process of developing a strategic plan for socio-economic development of the region is analyzed, and the factors influencing the process of developing this strategy are also considered. The purpose of the article is the formation of theoretical and methodological foundations of strategic planning of regional development based on the analysis and theoretical generalization of methodological tools on the problem of research, development practice and the content of regional development strategies in Ukraine.
 Methodological foundations and legal basis of strategic planning are revealed both in the research of scientists and in the works and documents of Ukrainian and international experts. In the theory of strategic planning, general characteristics and tools for the implementation of this process are determined at various levels: the national level, individual territorial administrative units, and enterprises. Among the latest publications on the issues of this research, monographs by V. Vartsaba, N. Smentin, and scientific articles by O. Shevchenko, S. Ivanov, A. Chernykhivska, and others should be noted.
 International experience and practical foundations of strategic planning of regional development are outlined in the latest publications of the UN Development Program, as well as confirmed by experts of international projects and programs to promote local development in Ukraine.
 Practical implications: The author has justified the need to include budgeting in the system of methods of strategic economic analysis and developed an algorithm for methodical economic analysis of the activity of a commercial organization.
 Originality: As a result of using the methodological foundations of strategic economic analysis, a scheme of correspondence of methods to the stages of its organization has been developed.
 Conclusions: The author has highlighted traditional (statistical), economic-mathematical and special techniques in the system of methods of strategic economic analysis, emphasized the relevance of the toolkit of strategic economic analysis for a commercial organization operating in modern economic conditions, and also emphasized the prospects for development in the field of improvement and expansion of the methodological base of this direction.
 The quality of strategic planning of the socio-economic development of the region largely depends on the scientific and methodological support of this process. To ensure the expediency of strategic planning and to achieve a cumulative positive effect from the implementation of the developed strategy, it is necessary to combine the efforts of the management and administrative- financial, production and scientific-technical spheres, to involve the fullness and optimization of the natural, human, scientific-technological and innovative potential of the region. The main tasks and priorities of regional development at the current stage are overcoming crisis phenomena in socio-economic fields and increasing the pace of economic recovery.
