THEORETICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to the study  the presentation of the author's own definition of "territory development strategy" and the "conceptual scheme of the territorial development strategy" model. The key problem is the search for a theoretical justification for such a category as "territory development strategy", where the author provides the author's vision of this definition. In the research process, such methods were used as the method of content analysis (to analyze the definition of the category "territory development strategy"); the method of analysis and synthesis (to determine the components of the potential and risks of territorial development and the types of strategies of territorial development), the chronological method (to study the evolutionary development of the strategy), the method of generalization (to build a conceptual scheme of the strategy of territorial development). The conclusions obtained as a result of the conducted research will help in choosing a strategy for the development of the territory, taking into account the regional features of development. The practical significance of the obtained results is that the research materials can be used in the practical activities of local self-government bodies. The value of the research topic is confirmed by the growing role of strategy development at the level of individual territories, the substantiation of modern trends of strategy implementation in the regional aspect as an effective tool for achieving territorial development of the country. The hypothesis of our research is based on the perception of the strategy of territorial development as a complex and necessary tool of socio-economic development of the territory of the country, which should be developed in order to solve the problems associated with territorial imbalance.
