Assessment of the Stability of the Regional Socio-Economic System (on the Example of the Rostov Region)

The authors have substantiated theoretical and methodological approach to a comprehensive assessment of the sustainability of the socio-economic development of the region. What is more, we highlighted the key characteristics inherent in the concept of "sustainable socio-economic development of the region", which are the basis of a set of factors that have a significant impact on it. We propose a system of indicators, which decompose the factors of such stability. The formed theoretical and methodological basis of the study made it possible to propose a comprehensive methodology for diagnosing the sustainable development of the regional economy. The approbation of the methodology was carried out on the basis of materials from the Rostov region, as a result of which we made a comprehensive assessment by the types of indicators for assessing sustainability (economic system, social system, environmental, resource and institutional indicators), and determined an integral indicator of sustainability. Considering the definition of the type of sustainability in the development of the Rostov region, we propose a set of measures to increase the level of sustainable development in the development of the innovative and recreational potential of the Rostov region.
