Assessment of the Transport Infrastructure Impact on the Regional Development

Abstract

The development of infrastructure, and transport infrastructure in particular, can be attributed to key factors in the economic growth of regions. In conditions of the development of society, the requirements for infrastructure are constantly increasing, which inevitably changes its quantitative and qualitative characteristics, modifying the structures of the infrastructure complex of a specific region. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account both the impact of the social and economic situation in a particular region on the development of infrastructure, and the reverse impact of infrastructure on regional development. In this connection, the transport infrastructure in the article is proposed to be considered as a subsystem of the regional economic system, which establishes institutional links and provides transport services both to the sectors of the regional economy and to the population. The increase in government spending on infrastructure development provides a multiplier effect in the economy. However, in modern conditions, a country may face investment restrictions. Most likely, in the coming years, the share of government spending on infrastructure will decline due to falling incomes first of all when selling energy resources. Obviously, in such conditions it is necessary to change the traditional formsand methods of managing the infrastructure complex, to find new "growth poles". The urgency of improving the spatial organization of the economy is explained by the need to increase the quality of life of the population on the basis of increasing the efficiency of the functioning of the regional economy. The use of transport accessibility as a criterion for the development of regions destroys departmental barriers,promotes a combination of sectoral and territorial planning, allows to take into account both the efficiency of the commercial activity of the transport complex itself, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics, and the impact of transport on economic and demographic processes, the standard of living of the population, and territorial economic development.At the same time, one of the problematic aspects of ensuring transport accessibility is its assessment. Since, if there are difficulties with the adequacy of the results of the assessment of existing realities, then decisions to increase it, as well as decisions related to the development of regions, may prove to be erroneous.The article analyzes different approaches to assessing the impact of transport on the social and economic development of regions. Methods for determining the impact of the territorial concentration of the transport infrastructure, taking into account production, social and population factors, are proposed.

A Conceptual Approach to Forming a Transport and Logistics Cluster as a Component of the Region’s Innovative Infrastructure (on the Example of Prydniprovsky Economic Region of Ukraine)

Modeling as a tool of strategic development of the regional logistics system

“…Much attention is paid to domestic and foreign researchers (V. Lyashenko, S. Ivanov, Yu. Kharazishvili [21][22][23]; O. Nykyforuk, O. Stasiuk, L. Chmyrova, N. Fediai [24][25][26]; S. Ilchenko, H. Karpenko [27], A. Kwilinski [28]) is devoted to the development of theoretical and methodological and applied principles of forming a management system for balanced development of the market of logistics services as part of the national logistics system; identifying areas for improving the efficiency of transport and logistics activities and key tasks and priorities for the development of the transport sector in Ukraine; evaluation of indicators of innovative development of the transport system of Ukraine to substantiate strategic guidelines; identification of global trends in digitalization, which include the use of big data and cloud technologies, the spread of the Internet of Things, the development of robotics, the spread of 3D printing, blockchain technology and crowdsourcing; development of a functional scheme of digital transformation of the transport sector in Ukraine; substantiation of conceptual provisions of the strategy of development of the transport system of Ukraine and measures of the state policy of its realization.…”
