ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION AND TRANSPORT IMPACT ON THE TERRITORIAL INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL FORMATIONS CREATION IN THE CITY

Abstract

The issues of new territorial formations building typology that pay an important role in the innovation process in Ukrainian cities and megalopolises are considered. The existing ideas about the development factors of high-tech industries concentration areas are generalized. These are new elements in economic territorial structure. The main features of technological development centers different types in cities and megalopolises are described, which are created as a result of scientific technical and innovation policy. Terminology variety used in different countries was put in order. It is shown that the innovation process support has acquired special significance as a way for national and rational economy survival in the conditions of world markets dynamism, high technology and intensification of competition between the world’s leading powers. There are two fundamentally different genesis types of centers and areas that perform creative functions in the innovation process: naturally occurring and artificially created. Identifying their ratio, location and development factors of the formers and viability and dynamics assessment of others, their diversity reduction to generalized models that can be compared − an important research problem, which is partially solved in this article. In defining of “high technology industry” in this study used three criteria: 1) scientific and technical personnel number in the industry; 2) costs for research and development; 3) manufactured goods specifics. According to the authors of this work, one of the most important criteria are the costs for research and development. In this case the group of high-tech will include industries in which the share of research costs is above average for the entire industry. These are − pharmaceuticals, control equipment production and informatics, telecommunications, electronic components production, mechatronic control systems, aircraft construction, shipbuilding, rocket and space technology, robotics. The role of information and transport infrastructure on the technological regions location and development in cities and megalopolises is relieved in the work.
