Development of an Information System for Monitoring Attractiveness of Municipalities in the Republic of Bashkortostan

Abstract

At present, most regions of the Russian Federation are experiencing an increase in migration flows, which has a significant impact on the overall decline in population. At the same time most of them have already developed regional migration policies containing basic guidelines for migration regulation. One of such regions is the Republic of Bashkortostan, where in the recent period the number of active population taking part in both intraregional and external migration has increased significantly. At the same time, the spatial mobility of the population has an impact on the social and economic development of territories. These circumstances lead to increased attention on the part of regional authorities in state regulation improvement. In this connection, the main goal of the paper is to develop an information system for monitoring the attractiveness of municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan using geoinformation technologies. The conceptual model “Informational system of attractiveness monitoring of municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan” is presented during the research, in which units of visualization, parametric analysis and spatial scaling are described. An algorithm information system was also developed which describes its functionality, such as: assessment of the level of migration attractiveness of the territory, zoning the territory according to the level of migration attractiveness; editing and search of data; scenario prediction of the level of migration activity of the population (number of departures, number of arrivals, migration growth); visual representation of the direction of migration flows; reporting. With the help of this tool, the forecast of the level of attractiveness of the municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan is made taking into account the realization of the regional program “Complex development of monocities”. The information system for monitoring the attractiveness of municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan can serve as a scientific and methodological basis for state migration policy improvement. The information system for attractiveness monitoring of municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan can serve as a scientific and methodological basis for the improvement of state migration policy.
