In different territories of the world, especially in emerging countries, it has been considered that, taking advantage of the fact that they still conserve their natural attractions, make tourism a strategy to increase the economic activity of a certain region; It is not that the authors consider monoproductivity as a viable equation, but coupled with other economic dynamics, tourism can help to generate more income. This publication is located on the island of Cuba, in which the objective is to propose that two provinces become involved or increase their participation in activities oriented towards tourism, in consideration of their geographical location. A hypothetical approach has been used. Regarding tourism; Incorporating the province of Las Turnas and increasing activities in the province of Cienfuegos will generate the integration of a greater person to obtain an economic income. It has a descriptive scope. With an orientation on Regional Development.

Art has a positive effect on regional development. This paper believes that as an important part of art, artists play an important role in regional development. As an individual artist, using their personal influence to form a brand effect is worthy of study on the promotion of regional economic development, art education, and national art internationalization. However, in the development based on personal influence, it is worthwhile to think about the shortcomings caused by personal factors and how to solve them.

The evolutionary changes of the paradigms of the economic development of the region are investigated in the context of theories: neo-classical and theory of regional economic development, Keynesian theory, theory of monetarism, theory of economic rationalism, theories of comparative, competitive and common advantages, theories of globalization, sustainable development, selfdevelopment and endogenous development, new theory of growth. The role of innovations in the analyzed paradigmatic shifts, as well as the essence of regional innovation policy are determined. The analysis of the evolution of the paradigms of regional economic development revealed the following qualitative changes: the expansion of the production function with such variables as technology, training, entrepreneurship; Attribution to the factors of regional development, along with economic factors, as well as social, cultural and institutional factors; The characteristic of the development of the economy by its ability to generate innovation; Transformation of technologies, science and innovations into development catalysts in a new era of industry; Inclusion of social and environmental components into the strategic planning of economic development, the emergence of an integrated strategic planning of regional development; Moving the focus of regional strategic planning towards competitive advantages based on less intrusive factors such as efficiency, productivity, quality indicators; Transformation of comparative and competitive advantages towards common advantages that stimulate enterprises and regions to collaborate and innovate; Giving the state the role of companion and entrepreneur in regional economic development; The development of local innovative ecosystems on the basis of endogenous factors and with the preservation of its global orientation (the process of glocalization); Defining a human-oriented strategy of state development as the basis of an innovative society, which respects human rights and freedoms, and decent living conditions for people are the goal of development.

Currently there is a large gap in the level of socio-economic development across regions in Taiwan and inter-regional economic disequilibrium prevails. 23 cities (counties) in Taiwan were taken for example to analyze and evaluate the difference in the level of regional economic development. Firstly, based on the principle in selection of indicators for the level of regional economic development, combined with the actual situation of Taiwan's regional economic development and cities (counties) as the evaluation unit, indicators for evaluation were selected in a scientific and reasonable manner and the weight of each evaulation indicator was determined by Delphi method, thus to establish an evaluation indicator system for the level of economic development in Taiwan’s 23 cities (counties). Secondy, the multi-index comprehensive measurement was used to calculate the composite index of the level of economic development of each evaluation unit, and after horizontal, vertical comparison and analytical investigation of the cities (counties), the reasons for the difference in economic development were analyzed (H • H • Nekrasov, "Regional Economics: Theory • Problem • Methods" 1978). Finally, measures were proposed to coordinate the regional development.

The paper deals with the assessment of the socio-economic development of Ukrainian regions using Data Science methods and multidimensional analysis, including taxonomy, n-dimensional classification, and ensemble decision trees methods. The methodological bases of economic regions devel¬opment by the economic and mathematical modeling methods were investigated. The necessity of improving and further developing estimation models of the regional economic development using business analytics tools and multidimensional scaling methods was investigated. The ensemble decision trees methods was applied for the classification model of economic development of the Ukrainian regions according to the conceptual base of the research on regional econom¬ic development. It will increase the quality level of administrative decisions making on regional de¬velopment asymmetry equalization. It is determined that in Ukraine, there is a significant imbalance of regions clusters with high and low economic level. Here was investigated the relationship between the two groups of economic development indicators – the indicators of the economic development regional performance and the group of economic potential. The results of the classification model allow identifying the set of indicators that have significant impact on the overall economic development. The developed ensemble model allows carrying out qualitative recognition and prediction of the state probability of economic development. It will improve the quality of decision making pro¬cesses on equalization of regional development asymmetry. The further research gives the possibility to develop the system of levers directions of regional development imbalance equalization, to determine priority vectors of sustainable development of both the regions and the country.

This paper dissents with both the view that globalisation represents the end of national and local identities and the view that it leaves the latter untouched. Instead, it seeks to develop a relational understanding centred around the claim that globalisation represents the intensification of linkage and inter-dependence between different scales of activity. This perspective is used to comment on prospects for regional economic development in a globalising political economy.

Accessibility, transport infrastructure and regional development - a case study of Thuringia. The presented study examines the question whether in the restructuring of the Eastgerman economy the existing infrastructure has positively influenced regional economic development. Overall the example of Thuringia has shown that proximity to the south-western cores of agglomeration rather than motorway access is most important for economic development. Nevertheless, motorways accelerate the process of adaptation and productivity. In structurally strong regions, they can positively influence numerous regional economic indicators. In structurally weak areas the problems of the labour market may even be worsened.

In November 2005 the US Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration announced a bold new initiative—Workforce Innovations in Regional Economic Development (known as WIRED). In its first iteration the WIRED initiative awarded thirteen three-year regional planning and development grants to assist regions in integrating their workforce and economic development systems to better serve emerging technologies and high employment growth sectors. In this paper I discuss the WIRED initiative as a model for federal involvement in regional economic development. Despite a sound basis in regional development theory, the implementation of WIRED fell short of its original goals that, in many cases, stymied regional attempts at innovation. The difficulties experienced by first-generation WIRED recipients led to a stark revision of the federal WIRED concept and a reversion to more traditional workforce development approaches. To be truly effective, future federal endeavors in regional economic development must overcome the persistent institutional divisions, legal impediments, and political pressures that work contrary to the desired goal of a flexible and competitive regional development strategy.

In recent decades, innovation research has played an important role in exploring the drivers of local and regional economic development. Nowadays, it is part of the generally accepted scientific canon that various forms of innovation (technological, business and social innovation) play a defining role in the economic development and competitiveness of cities, regions and countries. The context above points out that innovation is an important factor in the spatiality of society, but at the same time geography, more precisely geographical distance or proximity, is a determining element of innovation. In the present study, we provide an overview of the latest theoretical and empirical research developments in the “geography of innovation”, more precisely in the “geography of social innovation”, with application in Hungary. Keywords: social innovation, social innovation geography, regional development, geographical proximity
