Spatial Development Strategy

Currently, Russia has declared the need to develop a federal law “On urban agglomerations”; the development of urban agglomerations is declared as a necessary condition for ensuring economic growth and innovative development in the country. However, there are no evident approaches to the allocation and delimitation of urban agglomerations; the definitions given in the Russian spatial development strategy are very general. In this regard, the purpose of this article is to summarize the existing approaches to working with agglomerations in foreign and Russian science and practice. The article shows that in economically developed countries, the main approach to the allocation of agglomerations is functional, in which the area of interaction between the “core” of the agglomeration and its “hinterland” is determined, first of all, by the intensity of pendulum labor migrations; the functional approach is gradually transformed into a network approach, implying the polycentricity of agglomerations. The allocation and delimitation of agglomerations in a country can be based on a unified or individual approach. The article suggests using both options in Russia: a unified approach for improving statistical accounting of changes in the settlement system, which is close to the OECD methodology, and an individual approach for strategic planning and development of inter-municipal cooperation. The advantage of the OECD methodology is that there is no need to rely on the existing territorial boundaries of local self-government, which differ markedly across the subjects of the Russian Federation. It is also proposed to conduct a broad discussion of the approaches to the allocation and delimitation of agglomerations for the law “On urban agglomerations”; to improve the system of statistical accounting for pendulum population migrations, including in population censuses.

The article is dedicated to the overview of new methodological approaches towards the typology of Russian regions developed to support the locality-based decisions at the federal level of governance in order to design and implement the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation in the long-term. Drawing evidence from several examples illustrating the formation of different regional typologies the authors propose their own one taking into the account the core principles of Russian State Regional Policy and the aims of Spatial Development Strategy which were formulated in its Conception. Giving the current conditions which indicate a necessity for a radical improvement of spatial development governance system, the research proposes a number of criteria towards the typology of Russian regions. The authors propose the measures for the system of criteria for social and economic indicators that can be used to generate homogeneous groups of regions on the basis of subdividing the regions under analysis into corresponding groups within the development of sectoral and industrial or problem focuses typology. For the creation of a structural and sectoral typology of the regions, the indices of the share of specific types of the economic activity in the structure of GDP in the total volume of the shipped goods into the manufacturing plants are used. The results of such a 2D-typology of Russian regions when using a structural, industrial and problem-focused typologies made on the basis of the official statistical data issued by the Rosstat over the period 2014-2016 are provided. The main approaches to their use at the determination of priorities of perspective social and economic development of the regions of the Russian Federation are given.

Spatial Development Strategy

Strategizing the spatial development of the Russian Federation is an extremely complex, multifaceted task, which affects not only the traditional problem of the location of productive forces, but also a wide range of issues, concerning the ratio of different types of settlements, agglomeration processes, strengthening the role of each type of settlements and agglomerations in ensuring sustainable socio-economic development of the country and its regions. The active discussion around the dilemma “mega-cities and/or small and medium-sized cities”, which actively unfolded during the discussion of the draft of the spatial development Strategy, naturally didn’t lead to the formation of a mono polar position on this issue. Formally, newly adopted document paid tribute to the leading role of mega cities and large agglomerations in the development of the country’s economy and its modernization on the innovative basis, but also proceeds from the fact that the implementation of this trend of socio-economic development should not lead to the launch of the bulk of small settlements. This situation gives the reason to presume that many questions of the spatial development of the Russian economy haven’t yet received an adequate answer. This, in particular, concerns the settlement aspect of spatial Strategy. In addition, it is not clear what should be the program-target tools of the Spatial development strategy of the Russian Federation and what role national projects can play in this sphere.

Spatial Development Strategy

The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the implementation of the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025 (hereinafter referred to as the Strategy), on the basis of which it is envisaged to compare such concepts as «federal district», «macroregion» and «aspect of regional studies - zoning», since in theoretical terms, the overlap and confusion of the boundaries of the application of these concepts is seen. This approach is dictated by the need to identify the balanced development of the regions of the Russian Federation and the observed transformation of the spatial organization of the economy and social sphere. Questions remain: will the implementation of the Strategy entail an increase in the number of officials, increased bureaucratization and an increase in additional ineffective budget spending in the country, which is, therefore, extremely high. The article also examines practical issues related to assessing the feasibility of implementing the results of the Strategy contained in such innovations as the formation of agglomerations, the identification of promising industries for each region for future economic specialization and the creation of macroregions. They touch upon a number of problems of a legal, financial, managerial nature and coordination support of this government document, which await their solution in the future. In the course of the study, the conclusions were obtained that the Strategy is a strategic planning document. It provides for large-scale reform and innovative development of the production sector, social economy, management, environmental and a number of other equally significant tasks of the country's territorial modernization.

Spatial Development Strategy

The Spatial Development Strategy (Strategy) needs a radical overhaul, and the priority actions should detail the promising economic specializations of the Russian regions. Methodological and substantive gaps are actively discussed by analysts and the academic community. At the same time, the fact of the absence of one of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation dropped out of account, and therefore, the detailed elaboration of promising activities contains only 84 out of 85 regions. In the presented study, a quantitative analysis of promising economic specializations of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation was made based on a comparison of the Strategy data with the NACE. There is given a constructive criticism of the applied system for identifying the industry specialization of the subjects of the Russian Federation based on the NACE’ approach. There are done recommendations on primary measures in identifying the industry specialization of the Russian state. The results of the study confirm the need for a radical revision of the classification of industry specialization of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation

Criminal Legislation

The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the issues of the application of criminal liability as a means of countering violations of sanitary and epidemiological rules in a pandemic. The main idea of the study: the validity and expediency of amending the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation establishing punishment for violation of sanitary and epidemiological rules and criminalization of the spread of an infectious disease. A methodological toolkit is a set of methods, means and techniques with the help of which the criminalization of violations of sanitary and epidemiological rules in a pandemic is substantiated. The following methods were used in the work: hypothetical-deductive; dogmatic (formal legal analysis); description; comparative. The result of the work is the provision that in a pandemic, a necessary condition for ensuring national security seems appropriate to criminalize the spread of infectious diseases that pose a danger to others, which will make it possible to prosecute people who, deliberately or through negligence, have committed infecting a disease included in the category of dangerous to others. These recommendations are due to the noted problems in science and practice, including the results of comparative legal analysis. The novelty of the research lies in the substantiation of amending the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation by federal law. The amendments introduce stricter types of punishments, establish responsibility for the threat of a mass disease or people intoxication, and additions have been made in the form of a third part which provides for liability for violation of sanitary standards that inadvertently entailed the death of two or more people. The peculiarities of bringing to criminal responsibility for similar acts in certain foreign countries are also considered. There is a tendency to classify such crimes as terrorism-related.

Abstract The paper analyses the possibilities of the border territories of Siberia to perform geostrategic functions defined in the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation. The existing cross-border relationships have little impact on the socio-economic development of the territories. Exports in the regions of Transbaikalia, classified by the Strategy to the Far East as a priority macro-region for development, are growing due to the expansion of raw materials export. In the same regions, the volume of foreign investment due to the mining sector is also increasing, while in other border regions their volume is falling. Most of the outgoing investments are directed to offshore and resort countries, which does not contribute to the receipt and return of profits to the regions. Foreign enterprises operate mainly in the raw materials industries, construction and intermediary services, in the western regions of the border zone they are also present in modern processing industries. Among the counterparty countries, the presence of China is expanding, which is gradually displacing Kazakhstan from the leading positions even in the border regions of Western Siberia. It is necessary to both understand the goals and methods of forming a geostrategic security belt and offer state support for the development of such territories.

planning; proofs are the existence of a plan three-dimensionality of space, methods of its description and structuring (transport natural frameworks, etc.). The spatial development strategy is essential^ an integral conceptual part of the territorial planning, the consistency and direction of the development of space, the choice of priority directions for the development of territorial and economic systems the establishment of the ratio of urbanized and natural territories that ensure their sustainable development At the same time, the spatial development strategy as a part of the territorial planning system of the Russian Federation is not formalized and is considered as a missinglink in the system of its documents; the missinglevels for which in the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation it is necessary to give the concept of a spatial development strategy are thelevels of the country as a whole, the macroregion and urban agglomerations. The spatial development strategy is proposed to be defined as the main and general plan for the development of the territorial object (the system of resettlement the subject of the Russian Federation in a municipal district city, agglomeration), designed as a strategic planning document that defines the priorities, goals direction, scope andlimitationsof spatial development in thelong term. For urban agglomerations this is the minimum necessaiy document that precedes territorial planning at the level of cities urban districts and municipal districts the basis for the development of a program of measures for the socio-economic development strategy and its implementation program, for joint planning of urban and rural settlements; the obligatory nature of their planning is to be determined in the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation and in the Law *0n Strategic Planning".
