Оценка интенсивности социально-экономических взаимодействий на территории агломерации в аспекте связанности социально-экономического пространства

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to develop perceptions on the intensity of socio-economic interactions (SEI) in the aspect of coherence of socio-economic space (SES) of agglomeration, and also in the development of practical recommendations for the SEI intensity assessment in the territory of agglomeration. Methods. As the methodological basis of the research the spatial development theories, gravity models, spatial interaction, regression models, economicmathematical models developed for studying the socio-economic interrelations in the regions, the concepts by domestic and foreign scientists in the field of regional development have been applied. As the SEI intensity assessment methods statistical-mathematical methods as well as expert assessment methods and sociological research have been used. Results. It was identified that SES of agglomeration coherence is quantitatively and qualitatively measurable attribute SEI characteristics between different actors of socio-economic relations. The attributive characteristics are feasibility, intensity, balance and SEI complementarity. The coherence level of SES agglomeration depends on manifestation degree of the attributive characteristics of the inherent SEI. It was stated that the intensity of the SEI of agglomeration is the intensification (increase) and the SEI manifestation degree through integration of the interests of the agglomeration SES agents. SEI intensity is determined by the degree of interest and the nature of cooperation between settlements of agglomeration and SEI profitability. High intensity of SEI between agglomeration settlements allows ensuring the integrity of labor markets, real estate, capital, and depends on a number of objective factors, the importance of which is increasing in conditions of focusing on the agglomeration development path. Factors are identified which affect SEI intensity, and namely historical and cultural, geographical, natural-climatic, economic, social, infrastructural, institutional and political ones. The SEI intensification ensuring parameters in the agglomeration territory are identified in the context of the analysis of transport, information flows, commutation, trade, supply and manufacturing interactions, interactions in services sector, financial, investment and innovative interactions, interaction in the field of inter-municipal cooperation. The system of pairs of indicators to assess the degree of the agglomeration SEI manifestation is provided. It is concluded that the lack of reliable statistical information on many aspects characterizing SEI in the territory of agglomeration, in many ways impedes the research of the kind and requires the use of special techniques including sociological surveys and expert assessments. Scientific novelty. The scientific-theoretical novelty of the research is in development of theoretical ideas to research SEI intensity agglomeration development. The scientific-practical novelty of the research is in development of practical recommendations for the agglomeration SEI intensity assessment.
