Description
Summary:This paper presents questions of evaluation of economic–geographical position (EGP) with cartographic analysis of integration potential. As you know, EGP always carries some information about the possibility of further development of the object, i. e. about the potential of EGP. In most papers on the evaluation of the potential of EGP is assessing its relative favourable or adverse in comparison with other objects (regions, cities, etc.), while the maximum value of EGP not only installed but not even considered. The main methods of this research paper are analysis and synthesis, mapping and geographical comparison, but also a method for the assessment of the integration potential of EGP suggested by V. I. Banitsa of the Institute of Geography the SB RAS. In the process, was obtained information about the interactions of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, in particular, the Khanty–Mansi Autonomous district — Yugra and its neighbours 1st order using map of maps and visual analysis. In our opinion, the methods of calculating the integration potential of the EGP will help to solve the problem of evaluating the EGP. It is proposed to use the concept of “ideal integration potential” and “real integration potential” (taking into account the transport accessibility of the neighbouring regions). Under ideal integration potentially refers to the evaluation of the neighbour’s position in the region to the largest possible number of neighbouring regions, i. e. corresponding to a situation where one region shares borders with all the others. In the case of “real integration potential” is required to consider the transport accessibility of neighbouring regions. The paper has practical value for the geographical assessment of EGP of any region, in the solution of modern problems of the Russian economy and other countries, and assess the future development of their regions.
