The article focuses on the qualitative method of schematization. Schemes are commonly used in teaching to illustrate the theoretical material but, as the article shows, they can also serve as an effective research tool since they are verbally concise, visually accessible and systemically organized. Schemes help researchers highlight the aspects that are crucial for understanding the nature of a given phenomenon and reveal the key structural, functional and causal relationships. The potential of schematization as a research method is illustrated by the authors' own experience of modelling the structure and processes of human capital formation in an industrial city. Modelling brings to light the specific characteristics of different stages in the transition from traditional to industrial and post-industrial society. Modelling is based on the assumption that each historical period has its own socio-demographic profile, which can be summarized in the notion of human potential. Each period is characterized by specific scenarios of human potential being transformed into human capital or quasi-capital. Our study uses models in the form of flowcharts supplied with descriptions. The models help us conceptualize the historical analysis of human capital formation in an industrial city during modernization. They prove to be particularly useful for addressing the tasks that constitute the first stage of a historical study.

Our research is devoted to the investigation of theoretical aspects of human capital formation through human potential migration redistribution and investment process. This topic was chosen because in the modern conditions human potential development becomes one of basic factors of the competitiveness and economic growing of countries. Migration redistribution becomes an effective mean of indemnification of human potential losses, gives additional possibilities to its development financing, quantitative increase and additional innovative changes in the context of information society and knowledge-based economy development. The detailed analysis of the human potential development and implementation on the global labor market, the emergence of the migration cycle, and process of human potential transformation to capital that is able to provide the socio-economic and individual effects receiving was conducted in the article. Results of this study have theoretical and practical significance. They can be used as a basis for further scientific studies in this field and can be used by state institution in the direction of strategic management of human resources through the human potential migration redistribution and investment process that implies expansion of investment instruments, market infrastructure subjects development all this may provide the reception of material or status effects as a result of human potential capitalization in the labour market.

Changing the priorities of economic development in transition to post-industrial society inevitably causes reviewing approaches to the role of innovation in modern economy. If in the era of industrial development of society innovations are considered mainly as a factor of technological development, in case of a post-industrial society innovations should be considered in a broader perspective. Innovative technologies in all their diversity are being introduced not only in the technological sphere, but also in education, in the service industry, housing and communal services, life support sphere, etc. The problem of shifting regions and separate territories to innovative development approaches is one of the key issues in forming an economy based on knowledge. “Nuclear” cities, where development of nuclear technologies is implemented both for defense and civilian purposes (nuclear power plants, nuclear fuel production, etc.), can be ideally used as territories of advanced social and economic development (TASED) primarily thanks to human potential of these cities. The article analyzes recent humanitarian and technological changes, called the “humanitarian technological revolution” (HTR), and their impact on the speed and effectiveness of innovative changes in this area.
