Stability or Variability: Promising Models for the Development of Territorial Systems

Abstract

–The research formulates the scientific problem of the reorganization of territorial systems in modern conditions, caused by the pronounced polarization of the space of life. The methods currently used to solve it do not classify the methods of functioning of territorial systems in terms of their acquisition of an analog form; this is a consequence of the combination of the requirements of the process innovation and their stability. Accordingly, the dependence of the concepts of their spatial development of territorial systems on management models is not revealed. The improvement of methods is associated with the differentiation of methods of providing managerial influences on territorial systems, with the allocation of priority management functions. The article shows that territorial systems are a special object of management, as the integrity and parts, in their interconnection, which determines the phenomenology of determining their features and characteristics. The analysis of the used management schemes based on various variants of interaction of functions made it possible to identify the structural elements of the change management mechanism. The identification of the characteristic principles of territorial systems management (differentiation, modification, conformity and closed loop), which form a model management scheme and ensure a high degree of its universality, has been substantiated. The completeness of their implementation is a condition for improving the efficiency of management. The priorities of management are highlighted, which allows for achieving optimal functioning of the management object. In the context of the system methodology, the mutual subordination of management mechanisms to the basic models of reorganization of territorial systems has been established, within which specific parameters of their changes are established. To increase the manageability of territorial systems, it is necessary to endow the authorities with new functions and forms of exercising their powers. The development of models of territorial systems is especially relevant for Russian regions, where both the starting conditions of socio-economic development and the methods of organizing the management action on territorial systems are highly differentiated.
