SPATIAL ANALYSIS AND ITS ROLE IN THE REGIONAL PROPERTY COMPLEX STUDIES IN THE CONTEXT OF SHIFT TO NETWORKS MODELS OF ECONOMIC INTERACTIONS DESIGN
The paper presents an overview of approaches implemented in spatial analysis, also with respect to the property complex. The evolution of methodological tools from the analysis of the spatial distribution of data or flows to the construction of spatial interaction models is shown. During the study, the composition of the property complex and the dynamics of its reproduction were evaluated. The relative stability of the specific structure of investments in fixed assets in the whole of the Russian Federation is revealed, with its considerable variation among regions. The paper shows that in modern conditions, a new tool being increasingly used, based on big data and network analysis, the theoretical basis of which is formed by graph theory. In the sphere of analysis of the property complex, all promising areas of application of this method are those that allow to evaluate transactions and other interactions between different actors, to identify agents of influence, to model the behavior of actors. Further research of spatial network interactions can be handled in order to identify influence pivots and to measure agglomeration effects caused by enterprises’ integration within a network of homogenous entities which identity is provided by the use of regional property complex.
