The article substantiates a system of indicators for assessing the anthropogenic impact at the level of municipalities, taking into account the specifics of the Baikal Natural Territory (BNT). It also help to asses estimated indicators for the level of individual settlements in the central ecological zone of the BNT. The structure of the integral indicator reflects the components of the spatial distribution of the anthropogenic pressure that made it possible to carry out an appropriate typology of the municipal districts of the BNT. Calculation of indicators that are absent in official statistics for the level of settlements was conducted on the basis of data on the population and vehicle fleet using GIS technologies which made it possible to assess the anthropogenic impact in urban districts, municipal districts and rural settlements of the central ecological zone. A general decrease in most environmental indicators of anthropogenic impact was revealed. It was also revealed that gradual alignment of territorial proportions is present when the localization of impact in individual municipalities in 2014– 2020. The use of the integral index of anthropogenic impact made it possible to assess trends in the ecological zones of the BNT. The level of impact in the central zone varies the most across the territory and seasons, in the buffer zone there are contrasts between socio-economically close areas, and in the zone of atmospheric influence the impact is concentrated in the largest cities. A gradual weakening of the role of industrial specialization in the formation of the ecological situation as well as a simplification of the structure of types of impact within the regions are shown. However, two significant areas of impact on Baikal (Irkutsk and South Buryat) remain stable. The main changes occur in the group of regions with a medium level of anthropogenic impact as a result of the implementation of major infrastructure projects.

Measurement of regional budget inequality for 2006–2022 revealed a complex and heterogeneous trends. There was a shift in the distribution of taxes between the levels of the budget system in favor of the federal budget. The reduction in the tax base of more developed regions did not lead to a noticeable mitigation of inequality in budget revenues. There is no general trend in the dynamics of inequality for various taxes: for profit tax it slightly decreased, while for personal income tax, property taxes and small business taxes it increased. This is a consequence of a complex of factors acting in different directions. The impact of crises on regional budgets tax revenues is ambiguous. During the crises of 2009, 2015, 2020 and 2022 Inequality dynamics varied across different types of taxes. The leveling effect of transfers was more significant only during the crises of 2009 and 2020 due to the sharp increase in their volumes. The level of regional inequality is maximum in terms of taxes received by the federal budget, much less in regional budget revenues, and relatively small in terms of budget expenditures on education and social policy. Inequality between regions in terms of per capita expenditures of regional budgets remains very high, despite some softening over 15 years. The leveling “from below” is more noticeable, due to the reduction of the backlog of less developed regions from the average level. The leveling is more noticeable in the Far East, the North Caucasus and in the regions of the Center.

The paper assesses the prospects for the development of financial centers in Latin America, a region poorly studied in the global financial field due to the peripheral geographical position and poor integration into world economic relations. The six cities studied - Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Panama, Santiago, Montevideo and Buenos Aires - are analyzed through the prism of the author’s methodology, which includes the most important socio-economic and financial indicators of cities, as well as qualitative spatial and geographical characteristics. It should be noted that the use of indicators such as the value of real estate and the number of people with very large private capital, as well as the introduced significance factors, introduces a certain novelty to represent the dependence of the development of the financial sector on spatial aspects and domestic political stability. Based on the SWOT analysis and expert scoring, strengths and weaknesses are formed, as well as opportunities and threats for each of the agglomerations presented in the study. The study showed that in the region under consideration, Santiago, as well as São Paulo and Panama, which are qualitatively different potential financial centers of an international level, have the greatest potential.

Public-private partnership (PPP) is one of the promising mechanisms for attracting private funds for infrastructure development. In modern Russia, projects based on the principles of PPP have been implemented for more than 17 years, but so far this topic has not found sufficient coverage in geographical research, although in general experience has been gained in assessing the effects of the implementation of infrastructure projects, and in economics several significant works have been devoted to the application of PPP. In the article, using the example of communal infrastructure, the author presents the concept of a methodology for assessing the regions of Russia on the feasibility of developing infrastructure in them using PPP mechanisms, assessing the opportunities and limitations for the development of such infrastructure. As part of the methodology, an integral index is proposed based on a set of indicators that reflect the region’s need for the development of communal infrastructure, its institutional, budgetary, and financial capabilities, and other factors. Based on the results of the analysis, six groups of regions were identified depending on the final score of the integral index. As a rule, the most economically developed regions, including the largest industrial and resource-producing regions, have the best opportunities for implementing PPP projects, primarily due to the increased competencies of the responsible authorities and the orderliness of the budget system. A definition of PPP is put forward as an institutional innovation that spreads along the center-periphery model. Also, based on the results of the study, proposals are put forward for the development of PPP in regions lagging behind in terms of capabilities.

China’s scientific views of the urbanization process, taking into account the specifics of its course and state regulation are analyzed at the article. It was revealed that urbanization in China is fundamentally different in approaches to the classical understanding of the process and spatial development in comparison with developed countries. The main factors of differences are the intensive industrialization, regional differences of the country and the special role of the state in solving the problem of urbanization. Features of the dynamics of urbanization in China led to the allocation of four stages, characterized by a change in the priorities of scientific views on its study: the initial period of urbanization research in China (1978–1983); the period of development of domestic theories, models and leading factors of urbanization based on classical theories of urbanization (1984–1997); the period of promotion of research by the state (1998–2004); the heyday of urban science research in China (2005 to present). This article focuses on the study by Chinese scientists of theoretical approaches, basic concepts and models of urbanization (small cities, endogenous urbanization, local urbanization of settlements, top-down and bottom-up urbanization models, pluralistic urbanization).

In the article, on the example of the territories of the North Caucasus, their representation in social media is considered. Modern approaches to the use of data from social media in sociogeographical research are analyzed. A number of research terms and concepts used to analyze the images of territories in social media have been identified and formed. The concept of „socialmediaspace“ is proposed and substantiated, tools and metrics for its internal studyare defined. With the help of the data collected by the information- analytical system «Medialogy», a study was made of the geography of publications of their authors, their audience at the federal, regional and local levels. On the basis of this material, the intensity and tonality of the information flow were determined, and the leading regional centers for the formation of social media content were identified. A geographic analysis of the features of the formation of information messages was carried out, which made it possible to identify territories with a predominance of an external or internal image. Based on it, characteristic types of information flow structure are proposed. The parametrization of the social media space is implemented through indicators of concentration, differentiation and connectivity. A typology of the municipalities of the North Caucasus has been carried out according to the peculiarities of the development of the social media space, information centers and information peripher have been identified. The developed method of geographical analysis of the territory in social media can be applied to other territories of various levels. The results obtained are of practical importance for territorial branding and promotion of territories in social media.

The article analyzes the differentiation of Russian regions according to the dynamics of their socioeconomic development in 2022 on the basis of a number of statistical indicators, primarily indices of output of goods and services by basic types of economic activity and industrial production (taking into account the current picture of interregional differences in the dynamics and structure of gross regional product in 2020-2021). It is shown that the economic development of the regions in 2022 was significantly influenced by the dependence of their economy on foreign capital, which previously did not play such a significant role, which for the first time in recent years led to the greatest problems of the North-Western Federal District. In manufacturing, as in 2015, the highest growth rates were characteristic of the Southern Federal District, primarily its largest regions, as well as the Central One. The latter one at the same time was distinguished by great contrasts between individual regions, which turned out to be among the leaders and outsiders in terms of production indices. The real monetary incomes of the population in 2022 were weakly dependent on the dynamics of economic indicators – traditionally, a significant role was played by the redistribution of income within the framework of state social policy. In addition, as is typical of the crisis years, the dynamics of retail trade turnover by region was not determined by the real monetary incomes of the population.

In the article, on the example of countries and regions of foreign Europe, the relationship between social capital and socio-economic development is considered. An assessment of social capital and its components (as intangible factors of development) for regions and countries of foreign Europe is given on the basis of primary sociological data from a study of values in Europe. Civic activity, intolerance, features of trust were studied. Geographical patterns of development of social capital are briefly lighted. The relationship between social capital of communities and social-economic development indicators at the level of regions and European countries has been studied. Regularities are revealed between geographical differences in social capital and differences in economic development, the quality of institutions and innovativeness across regions and countries of Europe. Bridging social capital has a positive effect on economic development, it improves the functioning of institutions and prevents the development of opportunism, it is common in economically developed regions and European countries. Innovative activity is most common in regions and countries with a predominance of bridging social capital. In the regions of Europe with the prevailing bonding social capital, the disunity of social groups and closed trust, crisis phenomena are more acutely felt.

The paper is aimed at assessing scale and trends of urban shrinkage in post-Soviet Russia both at national level and by its major regions. Based on the calculation of average annual index of population loss according to population censuses (1989–2021) data, almost half of Russian cities in total have been shrinking for at least one of three intercensal periods. At the same time, in one of three centers the average annual depopulation exceeded 1% at the end of the entire period. In 1989–2002, the number of shrinking cities was not significant (less than a quarter in total), while increasing dramatically in subsequent inter-census periods to over than 1/3 of all urban settlements of the country by 2021. Study of spatial spreading of urban shrinkage phenomenon unveiled that its progress at different stages was mainly contributed either by resource-based cities of the northern and eastern parts of the country, or by urban settlements in old-developed regions, primarily the Non-Chernozyom areas. Absolute majority of all shrinking cities (87%) are minor units with a population under 50,000 inhabitants. Taking into account the general unfavourability of depopulation and the instability and variability of trends, six types of urban shrinkage trajectories with various combinations and alternations of depopulation phases were identified based on the sequence of depopulation phases within each of the three intercensal periods.

Taking into account the general unfavourability of depopulation and the instability and variability of trends, six types of urban shrinkage trajectories with various combinations and alternations of depopulation phases were identified based on the sequence of depopulation phases within each of the three intercensal periods.","PeriodicalId":486134,"journal":{"name":"Региональные исследования","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135749901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article we analyzed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the suburban real estate market of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast in 2020-2021. During this period, an increase in demand for the rental and purchase of individual residential buildings was recorded in the suburban market. The territorial structure of demand has changed: while maintaining the leading positions behind the districts of the Leningrad Region closest to St. Petersburg, the popularity of remote locations has increased. The growing interest in the suburban real estate market has led to a reduction in supply. Buyers even chose houses in poor condition to demolish them and use the land for new construction. Increased demand and reduced supply stimulated the rise in prices in the suburban real estate market. The St. Petersburg region turned out to be one of the leaders in terms of price growth in the suburban real estate market, along with the Moscow region, the Krasnodar region and the Crimea. Prices increased most strongly in the suburban area of St. Petersburg. The lack of a suitable offer for buyers and the high cost of finished cottages pushed the population to build individual residential buildings. The growing interest in buying land was indirect evidence of the increasing popularity of individual housing construction.
