The aim of the study is to analyze еhe role of medium and small cities in development of regions in the Republic of Azerbaijan Methods. The study used the method of comparative historical methods, statistics, analyze. Results. As a result, recommendations and suggestions were made to regulate the economic structure of small and medium-sized cities, and to increase the role of the regions in the development of the country. One of the main directions of socio-economic development are the reconstruction of the economic structure of small and medium-sized cities, the creation of new production and service facilities in these areas, and the organization of public services at the level of modern requirements. With these activities, new workplaces will be created and cities will play a role in the development of the country. Scientific novelty. Cities play an important role in the location of agricultural areas and population, in the processing of natural resources and agricultural products. These factors have a significant impact on regional development as well. Most of the cities in Azerbaijan are medium and small. Therefore it covers all regions of the country. Given this, it is possible to ensure the socio-economic development of the regions by developing small and medium-sized cities. However, the role of the regions in the socio-economic development of the country is still weak. It shows itself in the production of more industrial products. To solve the problem, it is necessary to construct new light and food industry facilities and service facilities in the regions. Natural and geographical conditions, the use of natural resources, and EGP are influenced by urban development in Azerbaijan. The majority of urban areas in the country are located in plains and foothills, close to water basins and the Caspian coast. For many years the processing of agricultural products has been the basis of urban economic structures. Different objects of the secondary industry are functioning in the cities due to the diversified structure of agriculture. However, during the transition period, their activities stopped, the production of industrial products declined and workplaces were closed. This factor has slowed the decrease of the urban population and increased migration. During the preparing of the article, the annual reports of the State Statistical Committee on regional development, industry, socio-cultural development played a statistical base role.

The Relationship

The aim of this paper is to investigate socio-economic development drivers of NUTS 3 regions in the Czech Republic. The aim is fulfilled by examination of the relationship between one of the regional development factors – the companies’ size structure and the development of the region from both socio and economic views. We derive from the theory of diversification and prior empirical findings, and empirically test the role of companies’ size in regional development. We use a balanced dataset of 14 regions covering the years 2000 – 2016 that provides the information about regions’ socio-economic performance in terms of GDP and unemployment rate. We hypothesise that unemployment rate in the regions with higher share of small firms is less sensitive to the general trend of the whole economy. However, the higher share of small firms leads to improved regional GDP. Our findings confirm that small firms accelerate economic growth while playing a role of a social stabiliser in Czech regions. Our conclusions could help in designing the regional policy in the Czech Republic.

Abstract This article is a case study from the APA São Francisco Xavier, located in the municipality of São José dos Campos-SP, and aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this UC category as an instrument of territorial planning to fulfill its role of reconciling conservation and socio-economic development, based on the sustainable use of natural resources. This study applied multi-methods - both qualitative and quantitative approaches - using fieldwork, participant observation, questionnaires, and geoprocessing to collect and analyze both primary and secondary data. The results demonstrate that APA promotes conservation, but is not free from threats and does not have effective and permanent means to guarantee the promotion of socio-economic development based on the sustainable use of its natural resources. The study suggests that territorial planning should be articulated between the levels of government, its different agencies, and the local community.

Topicality. In today's socio-economic development, companies are finding the way to find new ways to increase their competitiveness. Also, in view of the global development trends and the latest documents, the socio-economic elements are becoming more and more relevant, which give a new experience to the person and provide an increase in quality of life parameters. Formation of modern trends and the transition to a new type of management, characterized by the increasing importance for a person to gain a special impression (experience) in the acquisition of a particular product or service, through the use of material or intangible production. Price competition changes weight, because a person is ready to spend big money to gain special experience, incl. from natural diversity. Therefore, the economy of impressions / experience, which is focused on consumer sensations and reflects the latest processes and phenomena of the post-industrial stage of development of society, is becoming increasingly relevant. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to determine the theoretical basis for shaping the situation of the experience economy in light of the world trends and goals of the Millennium Development, defined in international documents. Research results. Taking into account the current trends of world development, the experience economy should become a component of inclusive growth on the basis of harmonization of interaction between society and the natural environment, social inclusion. Such guidelines can also be noted as key in the document Basic Principles of State Environmental Policy of Ukraine until 2030. At present, there is a mismatch between state legislative documents and regional development strategies. There is no clear detail of actions at the level of regional development plans. Thus it is necessary to distinguish priority directions of development of the economy of impressions in the structure of development of territories taking into account its functional features (recreational tourism, industrial, agricultural) and introduction of ecosystem approach for all directions of socio-economic development. To this end, it is necessary to highlight the basic principles of the economy of experience, taking into account the basic principles of sustainable development adopted at the UN Conference on Environment and Development.Conclusion. The study identified the origins and prerequisites of forming an impression economy. The author defined the essence of the notion of impression as a component of the impression economy, investigated existing approaches to determining the category of impression economy, analyzed the global trends in the development of the economy in terms of impressions, substantiated the use of natural resources to obtain positive impressions and improve quality of life. According to the authors, modeling the preconditions for the development of the economy of impressions can be understood as ensuring the health and socio-aesthetic development of man, the inclusion of society, the introduction of ecosystem approach that will promote inclusive growth and conservation of its natural resource potential. All kinds of natural resources (mineral, climatic, aquatic, land, forest, recreational, etc.) have a direct influence on forming an impression in the process of consuming the service and in the perception of the quality of life of a person. Therefore, it can be stated that natural resources are an essential component of the impression economy.

AbstractThe objective of this work is to analyze the impact of seasonality on the socio-economic development of rural areas of the southern part of Karelia. This study is based on the field data obtained via semi-structured in-depth interviews with experts from the local community. The results show that the influence of seasonality is rather indirect, being a constituent of other factors: economic, infrastructural, institutional, social, etc. Although seasonality is most often perceived as a negative phenomenon regarding socio-economic development, modern types of economic activity characterized by a peak of activity in different seasons of the year mitigate the effect of seasonality and even benefit from being seasonal. Based on the materials collected, a typology of rural settlements of the southern part of Karelia based on the nature of the effect of seasonality has been developed (with a predominantly positive and predominantly negative effect).

AbstractIt is widely accepted that the cultural sector and the creative sector have an impact on the socio-economic revival of cities. They create urban images, form a specific creative milieu, generate new jobs, and organize urban space. The above-mentioned observations have been mainly referred to the largest cities. So far, small cities have not been the subject of similar considerations. As many studies have shown in recent years, the potential of culture for socio-economic development in small cities has been noticed more and more often. It refers mainly to countries in Western Europe or in North America where generally, in the 1980s, the cultural sector was perceived as a remedy for the problems of post-industrial cities. This paper discusses the role of culture in the development of small cities in Poland, i.e. in a country in which only after 1989 is it possible to consider local development managed by local communities. The paper aims at showing how local governments of small cities in Poland perceive the role of culture in their development. The study is based on the analysis of strategic documents dedicated to the development of individual cities. When analysed, strategic documents clearly indicate that local authorities in every city use and are planning to further use different types of cultural activities for the enhancement or development of selected elements included in the broadly-understood socio-economic development; however, only few small cities notice the wide array of opportunities for making the cultural sector a base for socio-economic development.
