Abstract Currently, the development of the mathematical and geographical apparatus for assessing the economic and geographical position (EGP) is practically absent, and therefore the authors offer their own methodology for calculating the assessment of the integration potential of the EGP. This potential consists of the potential of the neighbouring position, the permeability of the borders and the transport accessibility of the regions. EGP objectively reveals the individual features and properties of any territory, it has a potential character. The highest indicators of the integration potential of EGP in Asian Russia (AR) are typical for the Kemerovo Region – Kuzbass, the Altai Krai and the Republic of Khakassia. Kamchatka Krai, the Magadan Region and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug are characterized by the lowest values of such potential. Thus, the EGP of the regions is ambiguous and varies from very convenient to very inconvenient. Territories with a more favourable EGP develop better and faster. The use of the region’s EGP data facilitates its assessment and allows us to determine negative and positive aspects of the socio-economic development of the region, to make a forecast for the further development of a particular region.
