Socio-economically based functional regions, which are partially self-contained economic areas, are often more suitable for various structural analyses, implementation of state and regional policies, development of state administration, planning and monitoring of spatial development, identification of spatial disparities and other analyses of socio-economic relations than the traditional historically and geographically based administrative regions. This article therefore examines the assumption that functional regions are a suitable basis for the formation of territorial provinces in Slovenia. We have modelled the functional regions of Slovenia according to the established and internationally accepted method CURDS and compared them with the current proposals for provinces and established statistical regions in Slovenia. The results show a very strong functional contiguity and a good economic balance of eight provinces and a very good population balance of the provinces with two special status urban municipalities.

Subject. This article examines the set of economic relations and problems emerging within the spatial development of settlements and constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Objectives. The article aims to develop key indicators and methods for assessing transport accessibility, potential market capacity, taking into account socio-economic characteristics, geographical location and the level of connectivity of areas. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of economic, statistical analysis and synthesis, comparison, and the k-means method. Results. The article proposes a system of cost-benefit equations for economic agents, and criteria, and a methodology for assessing the Transport Accessibility Index. Based on the clustering of Russian subjects by k-means, the article describes four groups of regions by level of transport accessibility. Conclusions and Relevance. The practical use of the approach presented to assess the Transport Accessibility Index will help form the basis for management decisions aimed at improving efficiency in the planning of spatial development and assessing the socio-economic effects of the proposed measures. The developed Transport Accessibility Index should be used as part of the analysis and monitoring of the effectiveness of infrastructure expenditures affecting changes in the transport accessibility of settlements within individual regions (municipalities).

The article describes conditions of spatial development of Russian regions in view of ‘The Strategy of Spatial Development of the Russian Federation up to 2025’ adopted in February 2019. Today the social and economic development of regions has technogeneous character. The anthropogenic impact on nature and climate is increasing, the quality of mineral resources is deteriorating. In this connection ecologic-economic balance becomes an important component of spatial development. The authors provide systematization of factors determining the spatial economic development at the level of regions, including ecological restrictions. During the research they used general academic methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis, scientific abstraction, synthesis and comparison. The current ecologic-economic restrictions for regions with unique natural systems and objects were identified and studied. Focus was made on particularly protected natural territories, which form the basis of ecological framework of regions. Principle groups of factors of spatial development were identified and ecologic-economic restrictions of regional development were described by using two big federal districts – the Republic of Buryatia and the Altay Territory. The authors put forward the lines of spatial development of regional economies with regard to ecological restrictions.

Abstarct Islands, especially small ones, are commonly studied as microcosms of natural and social processes. In this article, La Digue island (10 km2) in the Seychelles archipelago was treated as such. An attempt was made to analyse the significance of the natural environment for the features of spatial development under conditions of intense globalisation. For this purpose, functional micro-regions were determined, along with their genesis and evolution. Spatial dynamics and individual features of space are presented as chorème (Brunet 1986). The analysis was based on data from a library query and field observation and field studies in July 2018. Twelve functional regions were determined. Analysis of the distribution and evolution of their functions reveals a high dependence on natural environmental features, especially topography, and thus confirms (at the scale in question) a geographical determinism.

The Stability

The purpose of the work is to develop a mechanism for increasing the socio-economic development sustainability of the region based on the application of modern GIS technologies. The subject of this work is the organizational and economic relations that arise in the process of constructing a geoinformation system for modeling the spatial development of territories. This system is aimed at achieving sustainable economic growth in the region. The methods of empirical research (observation, comparison, collection and study of information), methods of current and prospective analysis and theoretical and practical material synthesis were used in the work. The article analyzes the available publications on the issues of regional sustainable development, which allowed to conclude of necessity to introduce modern geoinformation systems for the operational collection, processing and analysis of primary information on indicators of socio-economic development of the territories. The developed mechanism for increasing the sustainability of the socio-economic development of the region using geo-information systems includes three conceptual blocks: creation and functioning of a regional GIS-center with constant fi of databases and updating of operating systems; geoinformation system of macroeconomic and spatial territory development data analysis; modeling of regional development taking into account individual features of the territory and targets for sustainable socio-economic development. This mechanism is designed to increase the stability of the socio-economic development of the region, by taking into consideration the balance of interests of the state, business and society. This will ensure a non-decreasing rate of opportunity growth to meet the needs of present and future generations who live in the given territory and the preservation of the environment. The proposed mechanism for increasing the stability of spatial development of regions on the basis of geoinfrational technologies is a tool for improving the management system in the framework of implementing the state and regional economic policy of spatial development of Russia. The use of geoinformation systems in the development of measures to increase the sustainable socio-economic development of the region contributes to improving the quality of the complex system state analysis. It contributes to the solution of practical problems in allocating resources or analyzing the effectiveness of their deployment. It also contributes to the implementation of the strategic planning principles using digital technologies and to ensure the timeliness of the decisions made in the field under investigation.

The public sector is part of social reality based on state, communal ownership. The point is to provide public services that are financed from public funds. Public administration is an activity performed by state administration bodies, self-governments and public institutions in performing public tasks. Its main objective is the pursuit of public welfare through the strengthening of civil society and social justice. The article aims to identify the state of public administration in the 21st century with the aim to point out the possibilities of effective setting with justification for the future. The obtained information comes from the analysis of secondary sources. Slovakia needs a quality public sector as a product of public policy of the state, which, within the efficient management of public resources, will ensure quality and well-functioning systems of education, health care and social security. Only a well-functioning and sufficiently efficient public sector can effectively support the qualitative development of society, the socio-economic balance and the life security of the population.

The article proposes to consider a “new view” on the necessary changes in the rental policy in the field of environmental management. The main stages of the rental policy have been identified and analyzed, such as transformation of socio-economic relations; role of state regulation of the rental policy. Nowadays, in a context of transformation of rental policy and socio-economic relations, state administration should form social values through the environmental use and consumption of resources and implement a saving policy on the natural resource extraction. With the help of the implementation of the collaboration mechanism, the interests of the parties to the collaborative alliance regarding the redistribution of rental income received from the natural resource extraction may be taken into account.In addition, attention was focused on the necessity of optimal distribution of rental income from the extraction of natural resources in the conditions of the collaborative alliance. The research showed that the convergence of interests in the system “state – society – fuel production enterprise” is today the priority form of cooperation in order to form the socio-environmental responsibility in the extraction and use of natural resources, to motivate behavior of the local community with the support of the scientific and expert group on the redistribution of part of the rental income on restoration and development of the territories, as well as to implement a saving policy on the use and consumption of resources in order to preserve them for future generations.

Economic Ties

Socio-economic relations in the context of market changes give rise to other types of interactions between neighboring regions in the general spatial aspect of the country's development. The market system itself creates a new nature of competitive interactions between various economic agents, accordingly, differentiation between entities increases, all this is characterized by new transformations to minimize this situation at the level of the country and regions. Therefore, recently the regions began to activate their potential capabilities by coordinating actions in a single direction, and one of such integral projects is the Yenisei Siberia complex investment project (KIP ES). The purpose of this study is to study the foundations of the socio-economic development of interacting regions. The research is based on the fundamental provisions of the theory and methodology of socio-economic development, the theory of interaction and scientific research in the field of regional economics. Various methods were used in the study, such as comparative analysis, graphical and tabular methods. To study the aspects of socio-economic development, the participants of the KIP "ES" were considered: Krasnoyarsk Territory, Republic of Khakassia, Republic of Tyva. The project participants have the prospects of cross-border cooperation in the spatial development of the country, and one of the participants has the potential to open an "international corridor" to Mongolia and China due to its peripheral territorial position. The interaction of three subjects of the Russian Federation of different levels of socio-economic development: the developed Krasnoyarsk Territory, the developing Republic of Khakassia and the underdeveloped Republic of Tyva - as a result of the implementation of investment projects included in the EU CIP, will increase the economic potential, strengthen economic ties in the spatial development of territories.

Definition Of

The article is devoted to the issues of periphery and peripheralization of the spatial development of Russia, a significant part of the territory of which has experienced the negative direction of social and economic development during the transition to a market economy and continues to undergo it at the present time. The article discusses the theoretical approaches of Russian and foreign authors to the definition of the concepts of «periphery», «peripheralization of space». Based on the use of methods of comparative analysis and systematization, the authors identified six main approaches of researchers to the definition of the concept of «periphery»: positional, functional, problem, generative-translational, social, subjective, and also revealed the content and peculiarity of each approach. The authors highlighted such basic properties of the periphery as diverse remoteness, economic degradation and social marginalization, poly-scale character, migration outflow, ubiquity and relativity, weak involvement in global economic relations. A system of indicators characterizing the periphery in accordance with the selected approaches is proposed. On the basis of the conducted research, it was concluded that the spatial development of individual centers of Russia is taking place with the spatial degradation of its most part, which significantly actualizes the question of the future of the Russian periphery and its impact on the spatial development of the country as a whole. Due to the weakness of its own potential, the Russian periphery cannot act as an independent attractor of socio-economic development and requires strengthening state regulation measures based on the competitive advantages of each territory.
