Section "Economics": Socio-economic Problems of Regional Development

Abstract

The article presents the results of the analysis of housing and communal, industrial, agricultural, energy, transport and social infrastructure of Luhansk region in order to determine its impact on the quality of life of the population of the region. Usually the quality of life is assessed directly through a system of developed indicators and indices aimed at studying certain aspects of human life and society. It is revealed that in order to conduct an adequate assessment of the quality of life of the population in Ukraine, a national matrix of indicators should be used, which is maximally adapted to state statistics. It is established that the destruction and decline of the infrastructure of the Luhansk region occurred due to hostilities in eastern Ukraine, so the infrastructure is not able to ensure a decent quality of life. In Luhansk region it is planned to implement infrastructure projects, but all this necessitates the development of recommendations to improve the quality of life in the controlled areas of Luhansk region in coherence with the provisions of the Economic Development Strategy of Donetsk and Luhansk regions until 2030. Based on the results of the matrix analysis, it was concluded that almost all indicators of the quality of life of the population should be improved due to the availability of appropriate measures in the Strategy of Economic Development of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. An indicator such as the criminogenic situation in the region caused alarm. The strategy of economic development of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts does not contain direct measures to improve the criminogenic situation in Luhansk oblast. Therefore, the primary recommendation to improve the quality of life of the population of the Luhansk region is proposed - the development of targeted measures to improve the crime situation. Because this aspect of the quality of life of the population is crucial in areas close to the conflict zone. And the development of additional targeted measures should take place at the state or subregional level. The strategy of economic development of Donetsk and Luhansk regions for the period up to 2030 contains a specific direction and measures to improve the quality of life of people, so the intensification of infrastructure development will increase the local economic effect.
