HYBRID MODEL OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC REHABILITATION OF MONOFUNCTIONAL CITIES

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a hybrid model for the socio-economic rehabilitation of monofunctional cities as a spatially adaptive tool for Ukraine’s post-war recovery. The model integrates mechanisms of cognitive resocialization, social decompression, medical genetic monitoring, mobile employment economy, and smart regeneration to address the syndrome of learned helplessness, reduce infrastructural pressure, and enhance the role of resource-based communities in shaping quality of life. The methodological framework combines systemic, scenario-based, cognitive-behavioral, and institutional approaches with the principles of regional decompression and reconstructive development. The study employs an interdisciplinary toolkit, including scenario modeling, cluster and spatial-geographic analysis, psychometric assessment of learned helplessness, logic-project modeling, equilibrium and financial-economic evaluations, as well as the estimation of infrastructure costs and natural resource adaptation. The empirical base consists of official socio-economic indicators, legislative documents, and case studies of post-industrial city transformations in countries that have experienced prolonged crises.

The scientific novelty lies in the construction of a hybrid model of spatial rehabilitation that combines scenario-based mechanisms of social decompression, rotational labor mobility, cognitive resocialization, and financial planning tailored to the specificities of seven typologized post-war macro-regional zones in Ukraine. The study proposes a scenario programmatic approach to financing rehabilitation processes, incorporating differentiated indicators of the socio-ecological-economic conditions of territories, the extent of war-related destruction, and their recovery potential. The findings provide a methodological foundation for designing spatial rehabilitation strategies grounded in the principles of spatial development, reconstructive justice, fiscal efficiency, multilevel coordination, and cognitive empowerment in the context of post-crisis recovery.
