APPROACHES TO MODELLING POWER RELATIONS OF DEMOGRAPHIC POTENTIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF RUSSIAN REGIONS
Introduction: the economic and social development of the territorial system include many different interdependent aspects. It is not possible to exploring one of the elements of this system separately from other components. Power relations of demographic potential and economic development is one of the most interesting and complex. The study of this issue devoted to many works of domestic and foreign scientists, however, a difference in approach make actual the task of their classification and evaluate the possible application of the modern Russian conditions. Materials and methods: as part of research of the key approaches to modelling power relations of demographic and economic processes at regional level have been applied to methods of analysis, comparison and classification. Results: the analysis and classification of approaches to modelling power relations of demographic and economic processes in a region revealed of the most relevant and perspective ways and research methods of this problem. Each of them has the advantages and disadvantages. In that regard the combination of several methods seems appropriate to improve the quality of modeling. Discussion: to organize effective work of the model instruments require not only algorithmic, but also software. The result it produces of model calculations and scenary forecast in the medium and long term might be a justification to develop a set of the organizational and management industrial actions to parameters development of demographic and economic spheres in the regions. Conclusion: based on the result, in our view, for a formalized description of the power relation of socio-demographic potential, levels of economic development of regions and structure of territorial settlement most appropriate has been establish models to simulate, which formalizing the basic structural and functional elements and connection between the examined processes.
