Patrakova S.S.
The strategic goal of modern Russia is to ensure the sustainable development of the territories of the North and the Arctic, which have significant economic potential and extensive reserves of natural resources. Achieving this goal implies the need to solve a whole range of tasks (social, economic, infrastructural, etc.), including those related to the formation of the most optimal structure of the economic space. The purpose of this article is to study trends and identify the features of managing the spatial transformation of the European North of Russia, including taking into account the need for the country's transition to an innovative development model. The object of research is the region as a complex socio–economic system, the subject is its spatial transformation. The methods of comparative analysis, generalization, synthesis, as well as abstract-logical and other methods of scientific information processing are used in the work. The information base of the study was made up of Rosstat data, as well as regulatory legal acts and strategic documents in the field of territorial and spatial development of the northern territories of Russia. The methodological basis of the study was the works of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of regional and spatial economics, economic geography. In the course of the study, the key trends and directions of transformation of the space of the European North are highlighted: location and communication compression, strengthening the connectivity of key economic agents, transition to new schemes of organization and models of space exploration. It is determined that the management of the spatial transformation of the region is mainly focused on the further development of the resources of the North and the Arctic and the preservation of the export-raw material model of the economy, and not the creation of an innovative economy of new technological structures. It is revealed that in the whole set of tools for managing the transformation of the region, traditional for domestic practice and innovative tools prevail. The results obtained in the course of the study can be used by state authorities and local self-government in improving the policy of socio-economic and spatial development of territories, as well as by researchers and other interested persons in conducting research on similar topics.
