Project Space of the Region: Content, Structure, Integration Imbalances

Abstract

The results of the study of the project space of the region have been presented. The purpose of the study is to determine the content and structure of the region's project space, the reasons for the emergence of integration imbalances therein, based on an overview of the state of the problem in scientific sources and an empirical analysis in the region. The following research methods have been used: the method of comparative analysis of specific projects of various types and documents representing them (summaries, abstracts, etc.); the method of correlation analysis. These methods have been modified to identify the links and dependencies between the projects, the mutual influence of their characteristics. The sample consisted of 1200 projects. For comparison purposes, the samples of projects and programs from different regions of Russia have been used. In the course of the study, the following results have been obtained: 1. The prerequisites for the study of the design space of the region have been determined, its content has been revealed. 2. The analysis of the project space of the region has been carried out, which made it possible to determine the structure of the projects, the peculiarities of the correlation between them, the content of integration imbalances, the reasons for their formation and the main types thereof. 3. The main approaches to the development of the project space of the region, reduction of the negative impact of integration imbalances therein have been presented. The research of the project space of the region has not been conducted before, it is unique and new. At the same time, they can be useful in the formation of a project society, the methodology of which is being developed in many countries of the world.
