Passport of the Municipality in Informing About the Territory (Case-Study: The Republic of Khakassia)

Abstract

The article examines the passport of the municipality as a comprehensive source of data on various characteristics of the territory. The purpose of the article is to analyze the opportunities and problems of using the socio-economic passport of the municipality as a comprehensive source of information for different groups of users interested in the territory. The study of passports of municipalities of the Republic of Khakassia has been carried out. To source the information we used official websites of municipalities of the Republic of Khakassia and the database of municipalities of Rosstat. The data of passports of municipalities were compared with the data of official statistical information. We have analyzed the passports' indicators for their sufficiency to characterize the natural, industrial, financial, human, social and infrastructural capital of the territory. The conclusion is made that the existing system of passports of municipalities does not solve the problem of informing the interested users about the territory. It is proposed to develop a new approach to the formation of territorial reporting, based on the principles of integrated reporting.
