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).

The Impact

The relevance of the study is that the poor quality and fragmentary engineering arrangement of rural settlements negatively affects the demographics of rural areas. The aim of the study is to develop a comprehensive methodology for assessing the impact of the state of engineering infrastructure of rural settlements on the demography of rural territories, which is an integral indicator of the proposed rural population density. The paper proposes a method for a comprehensive assessment of rural areas by the level of development of engineering infrastructure. The composite index of rural engineering infrastructure development aggregates seven private statistical indicators calculated for each region of Russia in 2018 and normalized using the linear scaling method. The main difference between the author’s method and the previously conducted research is the combination of the results of ranking Russian regions by the level of development of engineering infrastructure in rural areas with grouping by the density of the rural population. The novelty of the proposed approach is associated with the formation of two-dimensional groupings of rural areas, where population density is regarded as the primary grouping characteristics, and the level of development of engineering infrastructure as a secondary grouping characteristic that gave the possibility to evaluate the correlation between the level of development of social and engineering infrastructure of rural territories and their people. The results of the correlation analysis indicate a moderate relationship between the density of the rural population and the level of development of engineering infrastructure in rural areas. In practical terms, the typology formed serves as an objective basis for identifying and comparing growth points and priorities for sustainable spatial development of rural territories in the future, which creates prerequisites for the unification of state approaches to strategic planning and management of socio-economic development of rural territories of the Russian Federation and regions. The directions of further research are related to the development of the proposed approach in terms of comprehensive coverage of other components of socio-economic development of rural areas (demography, economy, agriculture, social infrastructure) for a more complete assessment of their impact on the rural population density.

Introduction. The article examines the processes of transformation of the institutional environment of the regional timber industry enterprises in Karelia in the 1990s. The aim of the study was to identify the impact of this transformation at the level of socio-economic development of the Republic of Karelia as a Finno-Ugric region with the predominant development of the branches of the timber industry. Materials and Methods. The research methodology is based on the use of a predominantly institutional approach. Its application makes it possible to trace the changes that occurred in the structure of the institutional environment of regional timber industry enterprises with the beginning of market transformations in the 1990-ies, as well as the degree of effectiveness of the interaction of this enterprise with various economic entities. Results and Discussion. The analysis of the changes that took place in the first post-Soviet decade in the institutional environment of regional timber industry showed a number of negative aspects. First of all, the role of the state greatly reduced, which was unable to form effective “rules of the game” for the timber economy. The Forest Code adopted in 1997 infringed upon the rights of Karelia as a subject of the Federation, since only a part of the forests could be transferred to the ownership of the Republic. In the current difficult conditions, with the absence of the party and state control departments, and the difficult financial situation of the region, the role of regional authorities in solving the problems of forestry enterprises increased. In the context of spontaneous privatization and the collapse of the financial system, timber industry enterprises faced numerous problems of interaction with suppliers, customers, consumers and banks. This period was the time of the strengthening of the role of foreign companies in the work of timber enterprises. Unfortunately, having received a controlling stake in a number of domestic enterprises, foreign entrepreneurs were in no hurry to invest in their development. Conclusion. The transformations that took place in the institutional environment of the regional forestry enterprises in the 1990-ies negatively affected the level of the socio-economic development of Finno-Ugric region, based on the development of branches of the timber industry complex.

The Impact

The article theoretically substantiates the need to use a special tool to ensure sustainable development of rural territories. As such, it is proposed to use a monitoring system that will allow to analyze, evaluate and control all the factors in the implementation of strategies for their socio-economic development, and will also determine the level of achievement of the goals. Within the framework of the Voronezh region, the analysis of indicators of the socio-economic development of rural territories is carried out, their typical problems are identified. The most common among which are the worsening demographic situation and the underdevelopment of the educational system. On the example of the Vorobevsky municipal district, a typical homogeneous rural territory of the Voronezh region, the influence of strategic planning on its development is shown. It has been established that most of the indicators of socio-economic development are planned with positive shifts, which, however, does not indicate the possibility of actual achievement of the set goals. A comparative characteristic and analysis of the impact of strategies for the socio-economic development of rural settlements on the implementation of the strategy of the Vorobevsky district was made. It was revealed that the mission of the Vorobevsky district combines elements of the missions of rural settlements: the cultural heritage of Berezovsky, a comfortable living environment and entrepreneurship of Solonetsky, a comfortable living environment and agriculture of Nikolsky 1st; The general goal and objectives of the strategies of rural settlements are reflected in the strategy of socio-economic development of the Vorobevsky district. It is proposed to introduce annual monitoring as a tool capable of achieving the goals of the socio-economic development of rural areas, since the existing simple assessment of the formation of target indicators in three stages will not give the desired result. In this regard, the necessity of developing a special methodology for monitoring the implementation of strategies for socio-economic development, which will assess the achievement of the goals of the strategy in percentage terms at a particular point in time, is justified.

Agricultural Tourism

The article examines topical issues of the formation and development of agricultural tourism in rural areas of unrecognized (partially recognized) small states on the example of the Republic of South Ossetia (RSO). The purpose of this work is to scientifically substantiate and develop organizational and economic conditions for the formation of agritourism as a factor in the socio-economic development of rural areas. The object of research is agritourism business and its impact on the economy of rural households and the development of rural areas of the Republic of South Ossetia (RSO). The scientific novelty of the research lies: in the methodological substantiation of the need to develop agrarian tourism as a special non-agricultural form of family small business in rural settlements; in systematization of various models of agritourism in order to adapt and use the most acceptable forms of them in the conditions of rural areas of the RSO; in development of a system of organizational measures and economic mechanisms for the creation of a republican rural agrarian and tourist cluster, closely interacting with the tourist business community of the neighboring North Caucasian republics of the Russian Federation; in development and substantiation of a basic model of rural family agritourism, based on the historical traditions of Ossetians, who have preserved their identity, culture, language and national flavor of their ancient ancestors - Alans.

Rural settlements occupy a significant part of the territory of Russia, where about 25% of the population lives and significant natural resource potential is concentrated, but the level of their socio-economic development is significantly inferior to urban ones. Increasing depressiveness of rural areas and spatial socio-economic differentiation is a systemic problem and an obstacle to the balanced development of the national economy, reduces its competitiveness due to insufficient use of economic potential, creates challenges to the economic and national security of the state. A powerful tool for countering such trends is the formation and implementation of the potential for the development of small agribusiness, which is mainly based on households created in the form of peasant (farmer) and personal subsidiary associations. The article ana-lyzes the potential of small agribusiness development in rural areas.

During the past 20 years, the role of geospatial technology in society has increased dramatically. However, the impact of these technologies in rural areas remains minimal. In Texas, a federally funded project called the Columbia Regional Geospatial Service Center System (the System) has emerged as a model for bringing the benefits of geospatial technology to all portions of society. The model involves distributed, academically based Centers, each with regional specializations, linked together into a unified system for addressing critical needs in emergency response, economic development, and natural resource management. The Centers operate on three focus areas, i.e., data, applications, and training. The Columbia Center has been in operation for five years and has demonstrated the practical strength of the System through numerous local and statewide projects, responses to natural disasters, and other geospatial activities.
