There has been investigated the innovative component of the agro-industrial complex as a key factor to ensure food security of the Russian Federation. Basing on statistical data, there have been analyzed the current situation and results of production in the Russian agro-industrial complex. There has been revealed the influence of the innovative component of the agro-industrial complex ensuring the country’s food security. It is proved that agriculture can fulfill the tasks assigned to it, only if it is surrounded by an economic and legal environment, which takes into account the necessary completeness, the inherent differences. It is substantiated that the integrated system of agricultural assessment should be at the center of attention of the state administration and be implemented not sporadically, but permanently, in accordance with the demand for agricultural products. The grain farming can become a promising export resource under certain conditions such as reorganizing radically the procurement system, improving warehouse and transport infrastructure, saving seed material and reaching price parities for agricultural products and the means of their production. The necessity of applying state co-financing as the main form of state support for innovative development is substantiated. In the long term, the agricultural industry will be profitable and it will be able to function mainly without state subsidies.

Social and economic development of regions is closely connected with transport industry functioning, which was proven by numerous academic works. However, the problem of transport infrastructure importance for border regions was actually neglected. In fact transport on state periphery plays an important role in regional development and in some cases becomes a key factor of realizing foreign-economic potential. This article on the basis of functional approach to the research object describes an attempt to substantiate the role of transport infrastructure in the development of border region through identifying its foreign-economic function. The essence of this function implies the capacity of transport infrastructure to build in-regional and inter-regional flows of goods, services and people travel and at the same time to carry out operations of international exchange of goods. The importance of infrastructure for border regions is demonstrated by dynamics of indicators of railway construction and investment into fixed funds of transport industry: growth rates of these indicators are much higher for border regions in comparison with internal regions. It proves the importance of intensive development of transport on border territories to provide integrity of the country and to realize the potential of foreign-economic links.

With the collapse of the USSR and the formation of new independent states in the post-Soviet space, the Caspian region gradually turned into a geopolitical space in which focused the attention of the leading world powers. Development the region since that time has led to its dramatic change with the transformation into one of the notable factors of global politics and economy. The key factor that largely determines the condition and development of the economic potential of the Caspian region and hydrocarbon resources are also influencing the geopolitical processes around it. The active development of oil and gas fields in the Caspian region initially raised the issue of ensuring the transportation of hydrocarbons with the aim of exporting them to foreign markets. At the same time, special emphasis is placed both on the expansion of the throughput capacity of the currently operating pipelines and on the implementation of projects for the construction of new ones. The formation of a single transport space based on the balanced development of an efficient transport infrastructure seems to be one of the most serious issues, in a positive solution of which all the Caspian countries, without exception, are interested.

Infrastructure development is considered a key factor in promoting economic growth and attracting foreign investors for sustainable production and productivity. Conversely, inadequate levels of infrastructure constrain economic growth, a situation developing countries find themselves in. This requires the government to invest in infrastructure supplemented by external financing. This chapter, therefore, discusses how levels of infrastructure development affect economic growth in Ghana, since 1986 to date. The focus is on road transport infrastructure and its impact on economic growth under successive Ghanaian governments. Using the Cobb-Douglas production function and Vector Auto-regression (VAR) approach our analysis shows a positive relationship between infrastructure development and economic growth. This explains governments' improved allocation and expenditure on infrastructure development and maintenance in the 2000s. Ghana governments' attempts to plan and prioritize development of infrastructure, roads in particular, and create a culture of maintenance are targeted at raising the country's competitiveness and attractiveness to foster growth of all sectors of the economy.

The article discusses problems related to road transport infrastructure in the Eastern Poland, including the following provinces: Podlasie, the eastern part of Mazovia, Lublin and Podkarpackie, on the example of the S19 ex-pressway running through these provinces, popularly referred to as the “Via Carpathia” route. The arguments are presented that the road infrastructure built on the S19 route is a key factor in the security and economic devel-opment of Eastern Poland, as well as an important element of economic, social and military security of our entire country.


Transport as a key factor Transport as a key factor that directly influences the rapid development of any social system is in turn directly linked to the quantitative and qualitative changes of other types of productive forces. The transport service is not only important in the solution of economic tasks, it also helps to develop the road network, bring the village closer to the city, facilitate the permanent work of local personnel and rational use of labor resources. It is worth noting that transport services are also crucial in areas such as enhancing state defense capabilities, strengthening its combat capacity and prompt delivery of relevant content to its intended destination. The research paper is a contribution to the science-based system of economic indicators that create the conditions for increasing the efficiency of transport services and that will be useful for controlling the targeted use of available resources. There are given recommendations on increasing the number of consumers of transport infrastructure, establishing privileges or preferential tariffs for socially vulnerable segments of the population and identifying sources for covering these costs. Furthermore, the results of the study create the basis for the formation of specific theoretical and methodological foundations aimed at the development of transport services in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The educational space of a contemporary metropolis is characterized by broad diversity. Often, the choice of an educational institution that best meets the needs of the child and family is made in favor of a school that is at a distance from home, and the development of transport infrastructure makes this choice easier. Studies of children’s daily mobility, the factors that determine them, and the quality of families’ involvement in moving around the city to get an education are becoming quite relevant. The goal of the present research is to assess the significance to families with children of different ages of choosing a school within remote or walking distance and to describe the difficulties faced by parents. Methods included the authorial questionnaire, a sample of 414 parents of children studying in one of the administrative districts of Moscow. The basic results of the study can be formulated as follows. The topic of everyday educational mobility in the views of parents is relevant and significant for the city; the convenience of the school location is a key factor of choice; mobility increases as children grow up, with enlargement of schools, and the implementation of the “Big city schools” project which increases intraschool mobility; the average travel time to school is about 10 minutes on foot; for families whose children study in remote accessibility, the most important are vital topics of safety for the children’s life and health, including lifestyle issues; developing programs for parents whose children walk to school, and families who use private vehicles requires a differentiated approach.

AbstractSomaliland has recently developed an unexpected democracy after seceding from chaos-ridden Somalia, while turning its port of Berbera into a success story, competing successfully with the long established ones in the Horn of Africa. A simple game-theoretic model is used to explain why the home-grown bicameral democratic system that emerged in Somaliland is a key factor in controlling violence and providing the required security along the transport infrastructure linking Berbera to neighboring landlocked Ethiopia. The model shows that redistributing some of the fiscal resources levied on this trade is necessary for sustaining this efficient political equilibrium.

The paper deals with the negative effects of mining on the transport network in the Moravian-Silesian area, especially is focused on problems reflected in construction layers of transport-related structures (railways, roads, area storage and handling areas). With the extraction downturn, the sources and objectives of transport have changed including the characteristics of transport flows of all traffic roads and connections. Various measures for all transport modes situated in Moravian-Silesian region are identified and introduced in the both districts. Also new relevant directions of transport development are described considering efficiency, effectiveness. And also these measures are taken for to needs minimization negative impact on the health and quality of our environment while ensuring the transport services in the region.The dynamic development of the Ostrava agglomeration is thus inseparably connected with black coal mining, metallurgy and railway development. The position of extraction companies was set by the position of the deposit, which resulted in the establishment of a polycentric system of settlement in the agglomeration. Further development of the coal railways at the end of the 19th century was related to the extraction capacities in the region of Karviná. The greatest industrial and development boom was experienced at the beginning of the 20th century where there were massive changes in the condition of the entire Ostrava basin. After 1989, with reduction in the mining work, primary „brownfields“ started appearing in OKD, being industrial premises of the mines as well as secondary „brownfields“, which were disused railway siding stations and connecting railway sidings. High-performance, sufficiently efficient and comfort system of transport infrastructure appears to be a key factor for future development this area.The development of mining in the past years was subject to a functional transport system, with prevailing requirements for the transportation of large volumes of extracted material, structural elements and people working in this industry. With the extraction downturn, the sources and objectives of transport have changed including the characteristics of transport flows of all traffic roads and connections. Thus, in this area it is necessary to identify the consequences of mining, reclaim the landscape, reconstruct civil structures and ensure safe and reliable transport through transport-engineering measures which may ensure the required transport standard and minimise its adverse environmental impacts.
