Abstract
The most common approaches to assessing the development of regions include socio-economic, investment and resource analysis. Less attention is paid to assessing the spatial structure and spatial organization of territories.
The study of existing approaches to the analysis of the regions’ spatial development has shown that they focus on determining the level of the spatial structure (organization) development, rather than identifying the factors influencing the development of the region’s space.
This fact determined the goal to develop an approach for assessing spatial development as a process, and not as a state. This paper presents a methodology for assessing the spatial development of the Volga regions in the medium and long term with the identification of adverse factors. The study was based on a content analysis of scientific literature, a comparative analysis of various approaches devoted to the spatial development of territories, an analysis of a set of statistical indicators of Russian regions that characterize their state. The result of the analysis is the proposed approach to assessing the spatial development of the region as a process, assessing the spatial development of thirteen Volga regions and identifying the factors that negatively affected the spatial development of the selected subjects of the Russian Federation.
