THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO IMPACT ASSESSMENT SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE FOR LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Abstract. The article is devoted to the consideration of theoretical approaches and methodological content of the assessment of the state of socio-economic infrastructure at the regional and local levels. The author analyzes the regulatory framework for the post-war restoration of both critical and non-critical infrastructure. The lack of a new national architecture of planning documents is stated. The authors proposals on the stages of post-crisis development of socio economic infrastructure of non-critical importance are presented. Changes in the definition of “infrastructure” are traced, theoretical approaches to its interpretation are systematized, and the absence of clear organizational boundaries of the category of socio-economic infrastructure is stated. Consideration of theoretical developments made it possible to determine the relationship between the components of the functional load of socio-economic infrastructure, to provide a schematic sequence for analyzing the state of infrastructure of territorial communities. Numerous methods for assessing infrastructure development have been studied. Each authors methodology was considered in a single algorithm, taking into account the authors assumptions and basic indicators of infrastructure development, which correlated with the relevant state of development of territorial entities. Such a formulation of the issue made it possible to systematize the main advantages and disadvantages of the studied methods. It is determined that in modern conditions, taking into account the above arguments, it would be advisable to use variational methods, mean deviation, variance, coefficient of variation, determination of total indicators, etc. In order to further develop a set of indicators for assessing the impact of socio-economic infrastructure restoration on local economic development in the context of the military-military economy, it is necessary to study the process of organizing the restoration of socio- economic infrastructure of non-critical importance in the country, from monitoring the current legislation to the level of implementation of targeted programs (projects) implemented by territorial communities. The study resulted in recommendations for the development of a set of indicators for assessing the state of local development, which takes into account the critical lack of statistical information and non-standard crisis conditions, as well as for the further development of a comprehensive guide (economic and legal mechanism) for assessing the impact of socio-economic infrastructure on local economic development, which is urgent in the context of the military-war development of the national economy.
