The Creation

Based on the analysis of the dynamics of the regional transport and logistics system of the Black Sea economic region, many barriers to its effective functioning have been identified, which are conditionally divided into 10 groups: political, institutional, investment and financial, infrastructure, logistics, tariff, customs, innovation, informational, ecological. It is proved that to eliminate these barriers it is advisable to develop a cluster model of logistics activities in the economic region, which means a conceptual approach that involves the creation and development of transport and logistics cluster as a mechanism for sustainable functioning of regional transport and logistics system. The cluster model includes the following blocks: a single set of processes of logistics activities; members of the transport and logistics cluster that organize these processes; mechanisms for forming partnerships of cluster members; financial support for cluster development; achieving a synergetic (economic, social and environmental) effect from the sustainable development of the transport and logistics cluster on the basis of stimulating the region. As a result of the study it was found that to implement a cluster model of logistics activities in the Black Sea economic region it is necessary to create appropriate institutional conditions, namely: to improve regulatory and legal regulation of transport and logistics activities taking into account the regional component; to develop a Strategy for the integrated development of the regional transport and logistics system based on the modernization of transport infrastructure and the creation of a transport and logistics cluster; to develop and implement an organizational and economic mechanism for managing the development of the transport and logistics system of the economic region using the tools of "green" logistics and digital technologies; to improve the mechanism of financial support for the development of the transport and logistics system through the use of financial instruments such as venture capital, crowdfunding, factoring, international public-private partnership based on attracting private investment, credit institutions, foreign investment resources, grants from international financial institutions.

At present, the formation and development of the transport and logistics system is recognized as a promising area of the regional economy. This is due to the intensive development of transport logistics and the creation of a single European transport space in the framework of the transport policy of the European Union TEN-T. The article provides a predictive assessment of the indicators characterizing the development of the regional transport and logistics system of the Prydniprovsky economic region using economic and mathematical tools, and on this basis the trends in its functioning are identified. It should be noted that forecast estimates should be considered forecasts – a warning. That is, while maintaining an insignificant level of labor productivity and its decline, low capital productivity of capital investments for the coming years, the volume of transport activity (rail and road) of the Prydniprovsky economic region may significantly decrease. As a result of the study, a set of measures has been proposed, the implementation of which will transform the transport and logistics system of the region. These include: development of a strategy for the development of the transport and logistics cluster as a component of the regional transport and logistics system; development and implementation of a financial support mechanism for managing the development of the transport and logistics cluster; reconstruction of existing and creation of new facilities of appropriate logistics infrastructure; creation of optimal multimodal logistics chains, including through the expanded use of energy-efficient modes of transport; attracting private investment in the technical modernization of the port infrastructure of the Berdyansk seaport; intensification of innovation with the use of various forms of pre-ferences (loans, guarantees, tax benefits, subsidies) for the development of the seaport; transfer of port facilities for concession or lease; the use of information technology to manage the transport and logistics system of the region; implementation of the concept of «green» logistics, which will allow combining ecology and economy into a single system to preserve the region’s ecosystem and environment using environmentally friendly technologies in the field of transport and storage facilities; the introduction of digital logistics as a mechanism for the development of the transport and logistics system.

AbstractWith regional economic integration (REI) as a major strategy for development, the African continent hosts a plethora of regional economic communities of varying ambition longevity and success. While in the 1970s, political-economic ideas built mainly on the “developmental state” informed the design of most of these agreements, the change in economic thought in the 1980s which ushered in the “neoliberal turn” has since influenced the design of most REI schemes in Africa, including the New Partnership for African Development. However, among other factors, inadequate transport infrastructure linking regions poses a major impediment to regional trade and development in Africa. The more so as most African governments are not able to meet up with the financial burden, pace and managerial capability for the efficient provision and management of regional transport infrastructure. The article explores the dilemma associated with the adoption of Public–Private Partnerships (“PPP”) as a mechanism for the provision of regional transport infrastructure in Africa. While sourcing infrastructure provision through the PPP mechanism has significant advantages, it is however also embedded with a complex financial, contractual and legal process. First, it explores the theoretical assumptions which inform PPP based on ideologies within law and development debates. It argues that theoretically, PPPs are reflective of the neoliberal policy set. Against the trajectory of governance in Africa, it critically foregrounds insights that are derivable from an application of Path Dependency theory to the institutional change which comes with the planned adoption of PPP at the regional level. These insights are essential considerations for policy experts to bear in mind both while designing the regional institutional framework for PPP and during the implementation stage. Secondly, although most of the past initiatives for the provision of regional infrastructure have fallen short of their flamboyant development policy goals, the article argues that the recently initiated Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (“PIDA”) provides a new hope for the future of infrastructure development in the continent. The article contends that PIDA offers a legitimate platform which with the requisite support of the regional economic initiatives can generate the enabling environment for the implementation of successful regional PPP infrastructure projects.

The article seeks to explore the state of government regulation of transport infrastructure and to reveal its specifics in ensuring this sector efficiency in the context of economic globalization. The study suggests that the framework of legislative and strategic documents in the area of transport industry and its infrastructure development regulation should be considered at the international, national and the regional levels. The paper also provides insights to the key challenges hindering the innovative development of the transport infrastructure in Ukraine. The research findings have revealed the major gaps in the system of government regulation of the Ukrainian transport infrastructure which refer to: the absence of a single public regulatory authority in the transport sector which is empowered to perform regulatory, monitoring and the control functions; fundamental imbalances in transport infrastructure development (as to different transport categories); the lack of tax incentives for investors in infrastructure facilities; the lack of a balancing mechanism to regulate the number of operators in various transport market sectors through licensing procedures; the absence of an effective mechanism for designing appropriate pricing (tariff) policies in the transport sector focusing on the need to prevent monopolization while promoting competition in adjacent markets etc. It is argued that a strategy to eliminate the above shortcomings in government regulation practices in the area of transport infrastructure should be built through searching a balance between deregulation (decentralization) and excessive centralization in the specified sector. With the purpose of consolidating and structuring the information to ensure the efficiency of transport infrastructure development based on government intervention, the study has identified the following components of a basic government regulation toolkit which involves a wide range of organizational, regulatory, social, economic, innovative, market-based, informational and analytical instruments.

The article addresses the issues of integral assessment of spatial inequality in transport infrastructure across regions in Ukraine and explores the role of transport infrastructure in regional development. To measure spatial regional inequalities and sectoral asymmetries, two sets of indicators were identified. The first set of indicators includes indicators reflecting spatial inequality, the other group characterizes the level of socioeconomic development of the territory. The study constructs a typology for transport spatial inequality and regional sectoral asymmetry using the ArcView GIS classification algorithm, where the integral index is the indicator for traffic load of the territory. According to the cluster analysis results, subject to the regional transport infrastructure level, the four clusters have been identified in Ukraine. Within the scope of the research, a map of Ukrainian regional transport infrastructure has been designed. A conclusion is made about the evidences of inequality manifestations in transport infrastructure development in Ukraine. The greatest effect is observed in the Eastern part of the country, since this region is characterized by the highest road density and traffic intensity. The findings point out other significant impact factors, in particular, the road network quality and its technical equipment, communication load, traffic flow patterns, vehicle speed, roadside development and greenery, etc. The proposed modelling algorithm to assess spatial inequality and regional and sectoral asymmetry of the Ukrainian transport infrastructure can be used to tackle the issues of transport infrastructure development as well as have important implications in the context of territorial planning.

Investment Risk Management and Economic Aspects of Transport Infrastructure Development The major causes of investment riskiness into transport infrastructure relate to international economy instability, lack of clearly defined and accurate information on the overall processes of international intermodal transportation, absence of objective information due to inconsequent market research as regards interpretation of economic, political and other aspects. Assessment of objective integrated investments into public transport sector as a very specific branch of economy should necessarily be evaluated as multiple indicators affecting different spheres of community, and the final solution should be drawn when all multi-criteria indicators are well appraised. Economy based grounding of the optimal choice from all possible variants when solving specific tasks of the transport sector, depends on the economic expediency of the constructed subject. The main factors of effective usage of investments become apparent in the process of solving the task of road or railway network development optimisation.

Abstract In the North West of England the issue of a perceived infrastructure gap is of increasing concern. Investment needs to be made to improve the transport infrastructure of the region if it is to be expected to promote the development of its own regional logistics gateway. Funding tools have been set up to address the challenges arising from the imbalance in infrastructure development that exists between regions in the north of the United Kingdom and those in the south. For regions with well developed economies the outlook is promising as the availability of modern transport infrastructure looks set to improve. However, some sources believe that the development of new transport infrastructure will have a negative impact upon sustainable development. It is expected that this will occur in a range of both direct and indirect ways. As a result, it is critical that planning for the creation of new intermodal transport infrastructure, or the upgrading of that which already exists, takes into account the impact that these developments will have on the sustainable development of the host region. A scenario based development methodology is proposed in this paper. It was developed to provide a way to identify potential scenarios that may arise within a given region as a result of transport infrastructure projects. To create significant scenarios the methodology is dependent on the availability of a sufficient quantity of quality data. For this paper that data was collected through a focus group composed of stakeholders from the region in question. This was further supported by the performance of an impact survey using the same group of stakeholders.

An increase of the energetic efficiency of the economy is one of the priority goals of EU policy. In all the sectors of the EU-28 countries this goal has been achieved. However, in the transport sector, which is especially dependent on the supplies of crude oil, the energy consumption continues to increase. This is why, a wider use of alternative fuels is one of the ways of increasing the transport energy efficiency and decrease the dependency on crude oil. In transportation, there is a chance to increase the use of electricity and natural gas. However, the use of these energy sources in transport depends on the development of appropriate infrastructure. The requirements regarding the technical specification of the alternative fuel infrastructure and the time horizon for the construction of these facilities have been described in the European Parliament and Council Directive of 22.10.2014 on the development of alternative fuels infrastructure. In Poland, the development directions regarding the use of alternative fuels in transport and the goals of the transport infrastructure development have been set out in the year 2016 in the national framework for the policy of alternative fuels infrastructure development.
