BASIC APPROACHES TO RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE NORTHERN REGION

Valentin Ivanov

Abstract


The prevailing sectoral approach based on agrarian-industrial policy, to the detriment of the socio-spatial direction of the development of rural areas, is ineffective from a social point of view. More correct is an integrated approach, within which rural development is viewed as a process of improving the life of people directly related to the use of land and other biological resources included in the system of geographical division of labor and corresponding social relations. The purpose of the article is to consider the development of rural areas based on a combination of socio-territorial and sectoral approaches. The object of the research is the countryside of the Komi Republic. The example of Komi is interesting in that rural life in the taiga part of its territory has features characteristic of many thoroughly inhabited regions of the North-West, the Urals, Siberia and the Far East, and in the extreme northern part (forest-tundra and tundra) - the western sector of the Arctic. The subject of the research is socio-economic processes in the northern village. Analytical, historical, statistical, logical, comparative methods were used as research methods. The main hypothesis of the study was the revival of rural life as a social process, the management of which cannot be carried out only within the framework of the production sector approach. Highlighting the development of rural areas and the agrarian sector as an object of comprehensive research will improve the quality and standard of living of rural residents. Presentation of the main material. New approaches to rural development are considered, including the transition from the exogenous-sectoral model to both endogenous and neo-endogenous. The impossibility of solving numerous problems of rural areas in the sectoral model of their development is shown. Originality and practical significance of the study. A significant disagreement in the domestic practice of rural development between sectoral and socio-spatial development has been established. The role of the rural economy in the development of the village is investigated, directions of its diversification are proposed. Conclusions and prospects for further research. The obtained results of the study can become the basis for the preparation of Strategies and Programs for the sustainable development of rural areas and its economic entities at the level of the region and
municipalities.
