ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЯ ЕКОНОМІЧНОГО ПРОСТОРУ УКРАЇНИ ЧЕРЕЗ ВІЙНУ

Abstract

During the war, the spatial features of Ukraine developed independently, but the impact of the war on the economy requires a comprehensive analysis and assessment of economic, human and infrastructural losses at the regional level. Such an analysis also involves determining changes in the quality of life of the population in different regions of Ukraine and monitoring the existing changes taking place in the economic space of the country. The aim of the article is to determine the features of the transformation of Ukraine's economy during the war / after the war, taking into account the spatial aspect. Methods used in the research: comparison, systematization, sociological survey, etc. The hypothesis of the research was the assumption that due to the great losses and destruction of Ukraine's economy is the transformation of the economic space, and for its restoration it is appropriate to form areas of priority development along borders. Presenting the main material. According to the results of research on the peculiarities of the transformation of Ukraine's economy during the war / after the war, taking into account the spatial aspect, it was found that the war in Ukraine intensified migration processes, people move to the West or abroad. Due to the destruction of transport infrastructure, Ukraine's transport potential has been destroyed. Ukraine's economic losses also occurred due to damage and destruction of industrial infrastructure in Ukraine's industrial cities. It is established that the territories differ significantly in the degree of destruction, even in the scale of individual regions and cities. Therefore, the article presents a conditional gradation of the social quality of life of Ukrainians because of the war. In order to improve the quality of the population and despite the continuation of the war, it is necessary to plan the restoration and development of the regions, which are divided into three macro-regions. It is established that the destroyed regions need to be restored by introducing priority development areas for which state support areas have been identified. The originality and practical significance of the research lies in the formation of areas of priority development in the postwar period. Conclusions. It requires changes or approval of a new version of the State Strategy for Regional Development until 2027, changes in the formation and use of funds from the State Fund for Reconstruction and Regional Development, the search for donors in the EU and more. The further researches should be aimed at adjusting regulations on regional development
