The Methodical Approaches to the Classification of Ukraine’s Territories for the Recovery and the Regional Economy Administration

Abstract

The study is aimed at forming the methodological approaches to combining different classifications of territories of Ukraine in order to develop an instrumentarium for their recovery and long-term development. This involves the implementation of the latest approaches to the short-term management of territories and their strategizing. A consideration of the works of scholars demonstrated the lack of a coordinated system of separation of territories (in the presence of several classifications of territories in accordance with the levels of their development) for the needs of socioeconomic recovery and stimulation of development. The paper analyzes various classifications of territories according to the administrative-territorial division, allocated functional types, levels of economic security and distinguishes common features of different classifications of territories (regions and communities) of Ukraine. The goals of further development of territories such as compliance with certain standards of living in the regions are determined, the foundations of economic growth are outlined, the methods of accumulating additional funds in the territories are indicated, the influence of the levels of economic security of the regional economy on the possibilities of stimulating its development is demonstrated. A methodical approach to the grouping of territories by levels of development, needs for recovery, threats to economic security in different regions is formed, on the basis of which a coordinated system of typification of the territories of Ukraine for their socioeconomic recovery and stimulation of development is proposed. It is proved that different territories can belong to different types, which makes the classification flexible, and the goals of stimulating the development of territories remain variable. This underlines the need to use various instruments to enhance the development of territories in different periods. The originality of the publication lies in the mutual combination of different types of classifications of the territories of Ukraine and the development of their grouped classification. This will allow to develop a logical system of measures to manage the regional and local economy on the basis of new principles of their short-term and strategic development, needs for recovery and growth.
