Regional Social Infrastructure: Spatial Aspects of Sustainable Development

Abstract

The goal of the research is to develop and test the model of the spatial planning of the location
of regional social infrastructure, which will help overcome territorial disproportion. In this
paper the authors have applied a graph theory approach as an effective method for solving
the problem of inequity from the social and economic perspective. The authors suggest a
new model, showing a connection between the spatial planning of the location of regional
social infrastructure and sustainable development. The social and economic effect of the
location of regional social infrastructure is identified using the return on the costs of
construction and operation, which are directed from the regional budget. The article
presents forecasts of personal income tax as a basis for providing the complex services of
social infrastructure to the population of a group. The advantage of the model is focus on the
multilateral interaction of territories both between regions and between settlements within
the territories.
