SOCIO-GEOGRAPHIC POLARIZATION IN THE CENTRAL REGIONS OF RUSSIA (AT THE EXAMPLE OF THE VORONEZH REGION)
The article deals with the concept of "social-geographical polarization". The author concludes the essential role of this process in regional development, including the regions of Central Russia. At the example of the Voronezh region the author deals with the method of determining the types of social-geographical development at the intraregional level. The method is based on the four typologies: the differentiation of economic development; demographics; integral indicator of living standards; level of social development. As a result, we can distinguish types of social-geographical development which are polarized in their socio-economic indicators within the same region.
