Spatial analysis of indicators of socio-economic and innovative development of the Rostov region

Purpose: is to identify regional points of economic growth and innovative development of the Rostov region on the basis of a spatial analysis of socio-economic indicators.
Methods: classical research methods were used in the work, such as synthesis and analysis, dynamic method, system-structural method, comparative analysis, scoring method. The study also used specific applied methods: spatial analysis, geoinformation monitoring, rating assessment of innovation activity. The essence of the author's approach is that in order to identify the points of growth of regional development, two conditions must be fulfilled simultaneously: 1) conducting a spatial analysis of groups of indicators with an emphasis on innovative indicators, 2) applying an integrated approach to the consideration of economic, social and demographic (migration) indicators reflecting the specifics of the regional economy.
Results: the points of growth of the region's economy and innovative development of regional organizations are identified. The features of achieving uniformity of the economies of single-industry towns (former mining towns) are revealed. Blocks of potential resources for the functioning of regional growth points are grouped based on the analysis of innovative indicators.
Conclusions and Relevance: spatial analysis makes it possible to identify regional growth points with a core on innovative indicators. The transition of the Rostov region to the strongest group of innovators can be carried out through the identified growth points for the following types of activities: agriculture, transportation and storage, construction. As a result of the activation of growth points, there will be a positive transformation of the structure of the regional economy. The evaluation of strategic programs for the development of territories revealed the need for their timely adjustment for the purpose of socio-economic development of the region.
