FORMING A TERRITORIAL-INDUSTRIAL ECOSYSTEM IN THE VLADIMIR REGION AND ASSESSING ITS SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

Background. The crisis has highlighted the need to revise the industrial policy. In ecosystem integration of industry, science, education and business it is necessary to have a balance of vertical and horizontal links, as the sustainability of the territory's development is determined by such factors as: the level of links between functional ecosystems and actors within the ecosystem. In ecosystem integration of industry, science, education and business, it is necessary to ensure a balance of vertical and horizontal links for the effective distribution of economic resources, accessibility of innovation infrastructure, knowledge and technology. The aim of the study is to develop the theory and methodology of regional integration management in the context of sustainable development of industrial territories. Materials and methods. The methodological approach proposed in the article can be used as a comprehensive toolkit for improving the sustainability of industrial territories and ecosystems. The author's approach is based on the theory of complex synergetic systems and entropy as a measure of the system state level (stationary equilibrium, nonstationary non-equilibrium and their combinations). Results. It is proved that only with the balance of all types of capitals the sustainable development of territories is possible. Sustainability assessment of industrial-territorial ecosystem of Vladimir region based on entropic approach is carried out. The primary attention is paid to the enterprises uniting around glass production. The implementation of the obtained results in the practice of territorial management will ensure the intensification of economic activity of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which will eventually affect the growth of macroeconomic indicators and the improvement of social indicators of regional development. Conclusions. Sustainable development of the territory should be considered as a process of development of the territory's potential through the formation of aggregate capital. The development of strategies of industrial territories should be carried out since collaborative relations with suppliers, customers, distributors and dealers, research centers, universities, public and governmental organizations.
