Spatial optimization of regional social infrastructure facilities

Abstract

Features of resettlement in regions with a low population density (in rural areas, first of all) initially do not allow creating an adequate network of social infrastructure objects. The sufficient demand for its additional, better services is insignificant. Institutions capable of providing more sophisticated services are located in larger communities. The dispersal of objects over a vast territory creates difficulties in maintenance and repair, control and management. It was shown that studies of the provision of services in the social sphere are divided into two broad groups in foreign scientific works. Some display the process of providing services on a map, and others simulate the availability of using various services. Most of them consider optimizing the placement of medical facilities. Educational and other organizations of social infrastructure receive much less attention.
