The paper is devoted to the study of the features of the formation and calculation of indicators of transport accessibility of regions from the point of view of the provision of inland water transport services in the passenger transport segment. The key area of the research is to determine the parameters of accessibility of river transportations in the context of the spatial development of the country and the course taken on the social economy. The research is based on scientific works in the field of economics, management, economic geography, and regional economics. The paper analyzes domestic and foreign publications on the subject of the study. Based on the systematization of the research results, the authors propose a description of the transport accessibility indicator, and determine regional accessibility indices for river passenger transportation. The result of the research is the development of theoretical positions in the field of economics and management of inland water transport in the context of spatial development. The obtained results and conclusions of the study can be the basis for the formation of a planning methodology of passenger transportation by inland water transport, and also to control the process of investing in transport infrastructure in the regions, the formation of target strategic parameters of transport provision in the context of spatial development of the country.
The offered method for estimation of influence of investments in development of infrastructure of inland waterways provided by Transport strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 and Federal target program "The development of transportation system of the Russian Federation (2010-2020s)" on growth of economy of Russia allows estimating the integral multiplier effect. In the study there are methodological approaches and estimations of multiplier effect of investments in realization of number of major investment projects for liquidation of limiting sites on Single Deep-Water System (SDWS) of European part of Russia with use of transport and production multipliers. The offered method provides detalization of economic effect when forecasting and control for realization of Federal target programs on water transport. The mechanism of estimation of branch effect offered by authors is detailed in sources of gaining economic growth in a branch (the direct and indirect branch effect) and allied branches that helps to get the notion of objectives and forecasts of their development for the period of program validity and subsequent period of objects' operation. There is also a graphic structural diagram that provides considering the structure of multiplier effect and following the interrelation of indicators-the estimation elements. The offered algorithm of estimation of single multiplier effect elements provides discerning the sequence and the way of estimation of main effectiveness indicators of Federal target programs. In the paper there are also the results of estimation by offered diagram with use of software on the data of Federal target program "Development of transportation system of the Russian Federation (2010-2020s)" and Transport strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 designed by the authors. Using the results of estimations we have also performed the quantitative estimation of multiplier effect of investments in liquidation of limiting sites on SDWS that makes up 1295 bln. rbs.
