Keywords:
spatial development, reconstruction, post-war period, economic systems, social orientation, territorial formations, European integration, communication corridors, spatial differentiation, stakeholders, complementarityAbstract
The relevance of the study is determined by the need to find innovative approaches to the spatial development of Ukraine related to the substantiation of targeted reconstruction actions in the postwar period. The purpose of the article is to develop a basic innovative vision of Ukraine’s spatial development in the postwar period, aimed at creating an effective model of reconstructive organization of socio-economic activity. The novelty of the work is the definition of a conceptual approach that involves structuring spatial formations for the efficient use of available territorial resources, with a focus on overcoming the instability of economic systems. The research methods cover the field of system management inherent in European views on regional development, in particular, the regional economic approach; traditional urban ism; land use management, landscape approach, etc. Main conclusions. The article focuses on three key issues: the first one considers the factors influencing economic trends and structuring of economic systems; the second focuses on updating the interpretation of economic and social categories that allow tracking spatial and information flows that affect the overall development of territorial entities; the third is the interpretation of the reconstructive model of spatial development of Ukraine with regional differentiation. The model representations of the spatial organization of economic systems involve taking into account the specifics of creating effective territorial entities with long-term positive consequences. To ensure territorial unity and economic integration, the author proposes an enlarged association of regions that are considered key to economic revival and the formation of a welfare state. The importance of interregional ties through communication corridors that facilitate the unification of centers of economic activity is actualized. Such a structure facilitates adaptation to modern challenges, in particular those related to internal migration, territorial business mobility and new approaches to financial transactions with territorial assets. The author’s concept substantiates the expediency of differentiating Ukraine into specialized spatial zones with different modes of functioning, including “zones”, “gaps” and “enclaves”, which reflect regional development features. It is important to apply the principle of complementarity to the integration of economic processes, which contributes to the formation of a unified system (platform) for managing stakeholder interests with appropriate institutional support. The result of the work is a systematized vision of the differentiation of spatial formations, which is focused on the post-war reorganization of regional policy in the context of integration into the European community.
