Methodological Basis of Forming Spatial Poles of the Economic Growth in the Rural Areas

Abstract

The current socio-economic development of the Siberian village and its arrearage from the standards of the population’s life quality require rural territories to change over to the sustainable development. This change assumes the depth and consistency of the innovative structural, organizational and economic, and legal transformations that are forthcoming in the economy and social area of rural territories. It is impossible to carry out such modernization simultaneously and everywhere. The authors of the study substantiate the methodology of a phased approach based on the theory of “poles” or growth “areas”. The methodology has been offered to form rural growth poles. It has been developed by using the cartographic method based on the principles of identifying growth centers and developing adjacent areas as economic satellites whose socio-economic development is related to the “poles” development. During the study, the authors have offered to single out seven rural poles of the social and economic growth in the Novosibirsk Region as promising centers of development, concentration of economically active population where it is possible to form territories of advanced development.
