Assessment of Intra-Regional Spatial Differentiation: Socio-Economic, Innovative, and Environmental Aspects
Abstract
Under the current economic conditions, spatial development of territories is essential. Due to the differences in economic development, each constituent entity of the Russian Federation faces the need for comprehensive analysis and subsequent assessment of its economic potential.
Aim. The presented study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of regional development in the Russian Federation in the socio-economic, innovative, and environmental aspects.
Tasks. The authors examine the socio-economic, innovative, and environmental aspects of regional development from the perspective of spatial economics and provide a theoretical justification of various approaches to addressing the problems of the spatial development of territories proposed by foreign and Russian scientists.
Methods. This study evaluates the level of spatial differentiation using multivariate comparative analysis by calculating various rating coefficients based on a comprehensive assessment of various groups of indicators. Statistical, analytical, graphical methods, and the method of comparison are used for the analysis.
Results. The study identifies positive and negative trends in regional economic development, which need to be taken into account in the strategic planning of the spatial development of the national economy.
Conclusions. When assessing the level of intra-regional spatial differentiation, it is necessary to make allowance for a set of indicators that characterize the economic, social, innovative, and environmental aspects. Therefore, there is a need to determine an integrated rating of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Such an assessment makes it possible to identify economic growth centers, the operation of which would facilitate the development of peripheral territories.
