MANAGING THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUNICIPALITIES AND REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION BASED ON THE ASSESSMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE INDICATORS
Modern models and approaches to managing the development of a territory based on indicators of convenience and comfort of living of residents are considered. Modern approaches to the definition of the concept of quality of life are also listed and analyzed. The analysis of the approaches existing in the modern literature and practice of the activities of executive authorities to solving practical problems of managing subordinate territories revealed some of their fundamental shortcomings, and led to the need to develop a fundamentally different approach to solving issues of managing the development of the territory in question. The proposed object-functional approach is based on the formation of a continuous function (surface) of the density of properties over the territory considered for management purposes, where the carriers of properties (positive, negative or neutral) are the infrastructure objects of the managed territory themselves. The model is formed on the basis of the normal distribution of a two-dimensional random variable on the plane (Gauss' law). At the same time, there are all possibilities for analyzing the optimality of the territorial distribution of the objects under consideration, based on the functional purpose and the overall goal of increasing the efficiency of the development process of the socio-economic system of a municipality or region. In other words, there is a real possibility of modeling the process of long-term territorial planning when solving the tasks of managing the development of a territory in order to improve the quality and comfort of life of the population.
