The article was conceived as an initial insight into the issues related to the representation of individual type costs (e.g. material, labor costs, property depreciation, etc.) in the price of water in the Czech Republic. The aim of the article was to point out the possibility of dependence between the size of the company operating the infrastructural property of water supply and sewerage and the representation of individual costs in the water price within the framework of the case study. As a sample that formed the outputs of the case study, 14 companies were taken, which were selected according to the unified regions of the Czech Republic. Both basic mathematical methods and elementary methods used in financial analysis were used in the analysis. Within the scope of the case study, it can be stated that there is no dependence between the size of the companies and the representation of costs. Among the largest costs from the point of view of financial representation are other direct costs, where the costs of depreciation, property repairs, rental property, as well as wage costs and material costs are mainly represented. Insignificant costs include, for example, energy costs, which are only represented in the range of 1.39–5.70% of the total costs. Therefore, in order for the results included in the case study to be considered statistically relevant, it is necessary to expand the sample and confirm or refute the initial findings published in this article.

Purpose: The purpose of using the method is to obtain information on the social perception of the employment restructuring process in the mining industry, taking into account the phase of design, implementation, monitoring and impact assessment for the industry and local communities. Design/methodology/approach: The theses presented in the article have been verified using: literature review, critical literature analysis, document research and comparative analysis. The article presents a research method enabling social assessment of barriers and determinants of the employment restructuring process in the mining industry under the just transition mechanism. The method of researching the social perception of the hard coal mining employment restructuring process, due to the specificity and complexity of the issue under consideration, uses various, mutually complementary methods and techniques of social research: quantitative and qualitative. Findings: As a result of the interviews carried out, it seems that all the expert assessments and opinions expressed confirm thesis that if the changes related to the just transition process cannot be stopped, then one must learn to take advantage of it. The view expressed above regarding the process of just transformation, which implies both economic and social challenges that are important for mining communes, among which the following deserve special attention as increasing the importance of the participation of mining communes in making government decisions, more friendly conditions shaping cooperation, need for mining communes to implement projects based on local mobility, adaptability and social sensitivity, need to increase social awareness related to mining in mining communes with responsibility for the just transition process, disappearance of state policies in the implementation of social functions in the phase of ongoing changes and taking them over by the local society. Originality/value: The article enriches knowledge and develops a discussion in the area of social perception of the employment restructuring process in the mining industry. Based on the assessments and opinions of experts, it seems that in the perspective of the predictable occurrence of the transformation process, it could be important for local governments, and in particular mining communes, to promote actions for an evolutionary, not short-term shift from coal-based energy to low-emission sources - striving to make it a multi-stage and long-term process. Equally important may be the pursuit of solutions according to which the principle of introducing funds directly to individual communes for the implementation of the just transformation process will be adopted. Must be considerated need for local governments, including mining communes, to obtain state intervention appropriate to the scale of the challenges, while equipping them with reliable and comprehensively planned proposals for transformational activities limiting their spontaneity.

The method of researching the social perception of the hard coal mining employment restructuring process, due to the specificity and complexity of the issue under consideration, uses various, mutually complementary methods and techniques of social research: quantitative and qualitative. Findings: As a result of the analyzes and surveys carried out, a set of conclusions can be presented, the most important of which include conclusions relating to social issues – implementation of the economic transformation in mining communes and poviats is possible in the coming years, but the communes are not prepared for the transformation. The negative effects of the employment restructuring process on the local economy may be noticeable in significant liquidation of enterprises cooperating with entities restructuring industry, reduction of revenues to the budget of local government authorities and reduction of demand on the local market. Originality/value: The article enriches knowledge and develops a discussion in the area of social perception of the employment restructuring process in the mining industry. The attempt to capture the phenomena and processes presented here that may result from the transformation of hard coal mining in Poland is aimed at a better comprehension of the task that may be played by the local government in the area of which operating or closed mines and mining companies are located. On the basis of the results of the survey, it is mainly noticed that there is a need to define the challenges and tasks that should be undertaken in real action by the institutions responsible for the transformation of mining communes – especially due to the need to limit the social and economic consequences that may appear in the transformation process, both in the area of mining communes mining and in their surroundings.

Powszechnie uznane jest znaczenie transportu kolejowego dla przewozów na dalekie i krótkie odległości. W ostatnich latach w związku z rosnącym zatłoczeniem dróg, jak również modernizacją linii kolejowych pasażerowie zaczęli ponownie doceniać przejazdy pociągami w transporcie lokalnym, aglomeracyjnym i miejskim, czyli na stosunkowo krótkie odległości. Przyczyniła się do tego znacząco poprawa jakości infrastruktury kolejowej, zakupy nowoczesnego, zapewniającego komfort taboru, rozwój i nowe środki dynamicznej informacji pasażerskiej, wzrost częstotliwości kursowania pociągów, jak i konstrukcja rozkładów jazdy, oferująca stały takt odjazdów. Fragment zmodernizowanego odcinka linii kolejowej z Krakowa do Katowic poprawia już dzisiaj możliwości realizowania przejazdów z Trzebini do Krakowa i częściowo do Katowic. W artykule pojęto próbę weryfikacji opinii na temat możliwości dojazdu do Krakowa i Katowic oraz zbadania poziomu zadowolenia z usług i oferty transportu kolejowego. Opisano modernizację infrastruktury kolejowej na części badanego odcinka, która mogła wpłynąć na opinie badanych mieszkańców Trzebini i okolic. Ponadto scharakteryzowano strukturę mieszkańców Trzebini oraz infrastrukturę transportową na terenie miasta, połączenia między Trzebinią a Krakowem i Katowicami. Problemem badawczym niniejszego artykułu było pytanie: Jakie znaczenie dla społeczeństwa Trzebini mają przewozy kolejowe na odcinku z Krakowa do Katowic? W celu uzyskania dokładniejszej odpowiedzi na pytanie badawcze, postawiono hipotezę główną: Transport kolejowy jest chętnie wybieranym środkiem transportu do Krakowa oraz Katowic wśród społeczeństwa Trzebini. Do celów badawczych posłużono się kwestionariuszem sondażowym, który został udostępniony za pomocą portali społecznościowych. W badaniu wzięło udział 535 osób, które odpowiedziały na dziewiętnaście pytań dotyczących między innymi z wyboru preferowanego środka transportu oraz oceny wybranych postulatów przewozowych związanych z transportem kolejowym. Otrzymane wyniki zostały poddane analizie przy użyciu metody opisu i badania statystycznego, polegających na opracowaniu wyników za pomocą odpowiednich narzędzi statystycznych.

The importance of rail transport for long and short distances is well known. In recent years, due to the growing congestion of roads, but also thanks to the modernization of railway lines, passengers have come to appreciate again traveling by trains in local, agglomeration and urban transport, i.e. for relatively short distances. This was largely due to the improvement in the quality of the railway infrastructure, the purchase of modern rolling stock ensuring comfort, the development and new means of dynamic passenger information, the increase in the frequency of trains, and the construction of timetables offering a fixed departure time. A fragment of the modernized section of the railway line from Kraków to Katowice already brings a significant improvement in the possibility of transport from Trzebinia to Krakow and partly to Katowice. The article attempts to verify opinions on the possibility of getting to Kraków and Katowice and to examine the level of satisfaction with the services and the offer of rail transport. The modernization of the railway infrastructure on a part of the tested section – that could have influenced the opinion of the surveyed inhabitants of Trzebinia and the surrounding area – have been described. In addition, the structure of the inhabitants of Trzebinia and the transport infrastructure in the city, connections between Trzebinia and Kraków and Katowice were characterized. The research problem of this article was the question: What is the importance of railway transport on the section from Kraków to Katowice for the community of Trzebinia? In order to receive more accurate answer the research question, the main hypothesis was put forward: Rail transport is a willingly chosen mean of transport to Kraków and Katowice among the inhabitants of Trzebinia. For research purposes, a survey questionnaire was conducted via social media. The survey involved 535 people who answered nineteen questions related to, among others, the choice of the preferred means of transport and the assessment of selected transport requirements related to rail transport. The obtained results were analyzed using the method of description and statistical research, which consisted in elaborating the results with the use of appropriate statistical tools.

Purpose: The processes of socio-economic development always take place in a specific space and are not uniform. The modern conditions of regional development vary a lot with regard to the socio-economic development of the particular territorial entities. This is also true for Ukraine, the subject of this study and a current candidate for the European Union. This paper will assess the diversity of socio-economic development of the Ukrainian regions in 2020 and rank these entities according to the level of their development. Methodology: Z. Hellwig’s method of development pattern, which helps to order the regions in terms of their development, is applied to the evaluation of socio-economic development of the Ukrainian entities. The indicators adopted are systematised by the following areas: Demographics and job market, Structure of regional economies, Innovation, research and development activities, Technical infrastructure, Social infrastructure, and Condition and protection of the natural environment. Findings: The analysis helps to identify the levels of socio-economic development of Ukrainian regions and the region groups of the highest, high, low, and very low standards of development. The results suggest a great diversity of socio-economic development of these regions. Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kharkiv experience the maximum, while Donetsk and Luhansk the minimum levels of development. Research limitations/implications: The data published by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine for 2020 are used, excluding those for the temporarily occupied area of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the city of Sevastopol, and parts of the temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Further comparative research should estimate the effects of the changes on socio-economic development following the end of the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine. Continuing studies may also identify factors with a decisive impact on the regions’ attribution to the particular groupings. Social implications: The evaluation of the regional development levels may provide foundations for some strategies of socio-economic development, an explication of causes of regional variations, and a determination of potential for and ways of levelling down the existing inequalities. The diversity of development of the individual Ukrainian regions is important to its status of a candidate to the EU, granted on 23 June 2022. In connection with a closer cooperation between Ukraine and the EU, the results can provide knowledge about where to channel the EU funding aimed at the socio-economic development of the particular regions. Originality/value: The determination of the diversity of socio-economic development and positioning of the Ukrainian regions in this respect. The study can also be seen as a contribution to the existing research and serve the purpose of comparative analysis.

The prospects for aligning transport, spatial, and development planning at the regional level in Slovenia are presented in this article. We focus primarily on assessing the possibility of linking and interweaving the contents of documents provided for existing legislation, as well as legislation that is in the preparation phase. First, we present the general factors of differentiation and connection between the documents of the considered areas of planning. Then, we present the substantive factors of differentiation and the connection between the documents at the state level. In the next chapter, we present emerging technologies and transport services and their inclusion in spatial, development, and transport planning in national documents and regional development programs. In the last part of the article, we present the final findings and proposals for the substantive integration of the preparation of transport, spatial, and development planning documents at the regional level in Slovenia. The article was repared in the framework of the CARE4CLIMATE project – boosting greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2020 with a view to 2030 – promoting sustainable transport, energy efficiency, renewable energies, and sustainable, climate-protecting land use in the transition to a low-carbon society.

The article examines the existing methods of assessing the innovation and investment image of the region and proposes an author's methodology that considers the development of the region's production and infrastructure to form a strategic policy to create and apply innovation and economic potential of the region. The research hypothesis is based on the use of the method of distance from the standard, allowing to obtain relatively objective and fair assessments of the innovation and investment image of the region, considering the leading indicators of enterprises, ensuring their differentiation by industry. Enterprises, industries, and regions in the top rankings are considered more attractive to investors in terms of innovation, economic and social development. To confirm the hypothesis, the method of assessing the innovation and investment image of the regions was considered, which begins with an empirical, theoretical study and ends with the practicality of use. A method for determining the rating of business activity of innovation-active and investment-attractive enterprises considering their territorial and sectoral affiliation has been developed. The study has a significant economic and regional impact: using this method of assessing the innovation and investment image of the regions allows investors to evaluate and select the region in which the investment proposal will consider the features and priorities of economic development of the region and industry trends.

When discussing the issue of the context of architecture, it is important to pay attention to the possibilities of impact and connections between the building and is surroundings. Some buildings are connected with the area in terms of functionality, others in terms of history and others in terms of nature. Different styles of finishes, materials or forms directly affect the dialogue between the architecture and nature. This issue is worth discussing in more detail in order to understand the reasons why the architecture of Warmia and Mazury stands out among other regions of Poland. What makes its unique finishes co-create some of the most picturesque landscapes in Poland?

Omawiając zagadnienie kontekstu architektury, należy zwrócić uwagę na możliwości oddziaływań i powiązań budynku z otoczeniem. Niektóre budynki są związane z terenem pod względem funkcjonalnym, inne historycznym, a inne przyrodniczym. Różne style wykończeń, materiały czy formy oddziałują bezpośrednio na dialog architektury z naturą. Zagadnieniu temu warto się bliżej przyjrzeć w celu zrozumienia, dlaczego akurat na obszarze Warmii i Mazur architektura wyróżnia się na tle innych regionów polski. Co sprawia, że jej niepowtarzalne wykończenia współtworzą jedne z najbardziej malowniczych krajobrazów w Polsce?

The proposed modelling of the relationship between the spatial and component structure of the construction industry development and the environment helped to obtain combinations of high and medium levels of the impact of integral indicators of labour, productive and foreign economic components of the construction sector on the environmental index of the region. The high level of adaptability of the models used for the period 2013–2018 confirms the relationship between the development of the construction sector in most regions of Ukraine and the lowest level of the ecological index. This proves the scientific hypothesis about the negative impact of construction on the country’s ecosystem. The study indicates that the dynamic characteristics of the relationship between the building system and the environment should take into account the existence of direct and indirect or even “hidden” relationships between the components. The scientific value of the study consists in using models of fuzzy sets to assess the relationship between the construction system and the ecosystem based on defuzzification, which preserves the flexibility of the process of assessing the development of subsystems in construction and making decisions as to reducing the negative environmental impact in regions.

The article summarizes and analyses the scientific approaches to the determination and systematization of the positioning parameters of local level territories. The authors determined and systematized the positioning parameters of the amalgamated territorial communities in Ukraine through the prism of sustainable development elements in the conditions of military operations to form the most effective position of a particular community among other administrative-territorial units of the first level. Based on the results of the analysis of the positioning status in Ukraine, the Ukrainian regions were clustered by the number of ATCs that determined the direction of positioning. It is proved that each of the ATC deserves a worthy positioning of its territory in the eyes of the key stakeholders of its development. However, the communities of precisely Donets`k and Luhans`k regions will do just that, since they continue to receive losses from hostilities unfolding nearby.

Artykuł analizuje naukowe podejście do określania i systematyzacji parametrów pozycjonowania terytoriów na poziomie lokalnym. Autorzy określili i usystematyzowali parametry pozycjonowania połączonych społeczności terytorialnych na Ukrainie przez pryzmat elementów zrównoważonego rozwoju w warunkach operacji wojskowych. Celem było stworzenie najbardziej efektywnej pozycji określonej społeczności wśród innych jednostek administracyjno-terytorialnych pierwszego poziomu. Na podstawie wyników analizy statusu pozycjonowania na Ukrainie, regiony ukraińskie zostały zgrupowane według liczby ATC, które określiły kierunek pozycjonowania. Udowodniono, że każdy ATC zasługuje na godne pozycjonowanie swojego terytorium w oczach kluczowych interesariuszy jego rozwoju. Jednakże społeczności w regionach Doniecka i Ługańska dopiero tego dokonają, ponieważ nadal notują straty wynikające z działań wojennych rozgrywających się w pobliżu.

Purpose: The main goal of the considerations presented hereinbelow is a presentation of the course of action as well as an analysis of crucial features of cyclical fluctuations differentiated as entities in the Polish economy as well as in all provinces in the period of the first quarter of 2005 until the second quarter of 2019 based on the rate of the sold production of industry. Design/methodology/approach: A share of the respective regions in the structure of the sold production of industry was assessed. Finally, an attempt of assessing the rate of convergence in terms of morphology of a national chain with time chains of the respective regions was undertaken. In the thesis, a hypothesis is being stated that the most synchronised with the cycle of Poland are regions having the biggest share in the sold production of industry. Methodological bases of the research process as well as an empirical assessment of the regional business cycles in Poland were preceded by theoretical analyses concerning the notion, the core as well as the morphological features of the regional business fluctuations. Findings: Making an assessment of the progression of business cycle fluctuations of the economy of Poland as a whole as well as business cycle fluctuations of Polish provinces in the period between the first quarter 2005 and the second quarter of 2019, one may conclude the progression is not uniform. The variation depends to a large extent on the specificity of development of each region. Provinces which have a lower share in the national structure of the sold production of industry demonstrate higher sensitivity to economic shocks. The highest degree of compliance with the national cycle has been demonstrated in provinces with the highest rate of share in the structure of the sold production of industry. Research limitations/implications: The conducted research, as well as the obtained results might thus be a basis for taking up more extensive analyses in that field, comprising a discussion on the remaining morphological features of business cycles. Originality/value: Determining the course of cyclical fluctuations in Poland as well as in its respective provinces has been made.

Purpose: The main purpose of the paper is to present and discuss the assumptions of the model and indicate whether the regional innovativeness can be improved with the help of multi-branch co-operation oriented so as to form new solutions to contemporary development problems. An additional purpose of the paper is to indicate barriers that hinder the application of this form of co-operation in Polish regions. Design/methodology/approach: The paper has theoretical and reviewing nature. It was drawn up based on an analysis of the literature on the topic and the results of foreign authors’ research along with the information obtained from practicians (management board members of the cluster active in the West Pomeranian region). Findings: Quintuple Helix model is a concept which explains the principles and effects of co-operation for the improvement of regional innovativeness and development in the conditions of the natural environment challenges and sustainable development. This co-operation is built between regional partners of innovative processes. The experience of highly developed countries shows that such organized cooperation is effective. In Poland, this concept is very rarely used, and its implementation encounters significant barriers. Practical implications: The presented considerations are important for entities of regional innovative networks. They will gain knowledge of the Quintuple Helix concept in the light of the challenges of the modern world (economic, ecological, demographic, cultural and others). In addition, they learn the essence and scope of barriers to introducing effective innovative cooperation. This will allow them to reduce barriers. In the future, new solutions to problems of the development of society and economy will appear in Polish regions faster. Originality/value: The added value of the article is the presentation of the Quintuple Helix model as a tool to solve sustainable development problems in the region. This concept is not widely known in Poland, nor used in the mesoscale. This is due to the lack of interdisciplinary research on this issue and very strong barriers to such cooperation. They are found in all elements of this model. Its practical implementation requires their removal. In the article, the author diagnosed and described them.

Each region has its own set of unique characteristics, which should create the basis for their growth and give residents a sense of home and safety. This article develops an approach to identifying a region and its amalgamated territorial communities in order to identify their strengths and values, based on the example of Luhansk region, which, due to ongoing military aggression, has significant development problems. It is proposed to quantify the results of complementary analysis of sustainable development indicators by quantitatively qualitative transformation of such indicators and rating points into a gradient of territorial features, which is visualized using the quantification axis to determine the unique characteristics of region. The application of such methodology for identifying a region greatly simplifies the process of identifying the benefits and values of a region in order to properly position and build an effective socio-economic development strategy.

Każdy region ma swój własny zestaw unikalnych cech, które powinny stanowić podstawę rozwoju i dać mieszkańcom poczucie przebywania we własnym domu i bezpieczeństwa. W tym artykule opracowano temat identyfikacji regionu i jego połączonych społeczności terytorialnych w celu określenia ich mocnych stron i wartości, na podstawie regionu Ługańska, który z powodu trwającej agresji wojskowej cierpi na poważne problemy rozwojowe. Proponuje się kwantyfikację wyników uzupełniającej analizy wskaźników zrównoważonego rozwoju poprzez ilościowo-jakościową transformację takich wskaźników i punktów oceny w gradient cech terytorialnych, który jest wizualizowany za pomocą osi kwantyfikacji, w celu określenia unikalnych cech regionu. Zastosowanie takiej metodologii do identyfikacji regionu znacznie upraszcza proces identyfikacji korzyści i wartości regionu w celu właściwego pozycjonowania i zbudowania skutecznej strategii rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego.

The study concerns a natural cluster that arises as a consequence of the development of Euroregion. Each Euroregion has a "form" of a cluster "inscribed" into the philosophy of its functioning, which in turn creates a new management structure for the area covered by Euroregion. To document the above statement, the study attempted to compare the characteristics of Euroregion and a cluster, to describe mutual dependencies and convergences between them, which was included, among others, in the form of synthetic tables (Tables 4 and 5). Euroregion itself is a cluster, and it manages its subordinate area through Euroregional institutions. The term "natural" stems from the fact that Euroregion as a region bears the signs of naturalness, as it is created from the bottom up due to natural causes and motives, which through formalisation take on a specific shape of the structure with its institutions. Euroregion itself (a natural cluster), in addition to its management capabilities over the region, is also managed by the institutions representing it (described here is the Association of European Border Regions - AEBR). As a result, Euroregion as a natural cluster manages on its own and is subject to being managed.

Artykuł porusza zagadnienie efektywności porannych kolejowych połączeń dalekobieżnych, które pozwalają w łatwy sposób przemieszczać się między oddalonymi od siebie regionami. Szczególnie analizowanym przypadkiem w pracy jest dostępność regionów Polski z Wrocławia. W ciągu ostatnich pięciu lat zwiększyły się ogólne możliwości pociągów pasażerskich w zakresie przemieszczania się na dalekie odległości w coraz krótszym czasie. Kluczowe są jednak połączenia poranne, które docierają do regionów docelowych w godzinach południowych, pozwalając na korzystanie z dóbr i usług na miejscu już w dniu podróży. Przez ostatnie lata nastąpił rozwój tego typu połączeń, przez co możliwy stał się dojazd z zachodnich regionów Polski do obszarów pogranicznych Polski wschodniej w zaledwie kilka godzin. Szczególnie istotna z punktu widzenia ekonomicznego jest możliwość wczesnego dojechania na miejsce w przypadku podróży turystycznej z noclegiem opartym na zasadach doby noclegowej. W artykule przedstawiony został autorski wskaźnik kolejowej efektywności dostępności, który pozwala na stworzenie rankingu połączeń ze względu na pokonany dystans, czas jazdy oraz godzinę odjazdu i przyjazdu do miejsca docelowego. Uwzględnia on najbardziej sprzyjające warunki dotyczące czasu podróży, dzięki czemu możliwe jest określenie połączeń, które w najbardziej korzystny sposób zapewniają dojazd do najbardziej oddalonych regionów. Może on w przyszłości służyć za punkt odniesienia przy tworzeniu nowych porannych połączeń kolejowych i opracowywaniu nowych edycji rozkładów jazdy.

This article refers to the issue of effectiveness of rail connections between two distant regions. In this case the accessibility of different Polish regions from Wrocław is being analyzed. Over the last five years, the overall capabilities of passenger trains in the field of long-range travel have increased in ever-shorter time. However, morning connections that reach the target regions in the afternoon hours are crucial since they allow to use goods and services on the spot already on the day of the travel. In the last years a significant development of morning connections have been observed which resulted with the connecting the western and the eastern part of Poland in just few hours. From the economic point of view, it is particularly important to be able to get to the destination early in the case of a tourist trip with accommodation based on the rules of an overnight stay. The article presents the author’s indicator of railway availability efficiency, which allows to create a ranking of connections due to the distance traveled, driving time and the time of departure and arrival to the destination. The indicator takes into account the most favorable conditions regarding travel time, thanks to which it is possible to determine connections that provide the most favorable access to the most distant regions. The value depends on those factors and it is higher when the conditions of the journey are more economically advantageous. In the future the indicator can be used as a reference in creating new timetables including also new morning connections.

This article offers a modern approach to the policy of competitiveness of the national economy at the regional level. Based on the results and experience of domestic and foreign economists the author offers a system of indicators of regional activity and a method for determination of the integrated index of the competitiveness level in the region. This way of calculation makes it possible to carry out the analysis of the regional economic activity dynamics at the tactical (1 year) and strategic (5 years) levels. Three main policies to increase the competitiveness of the region have been proposed: refocus, dualistic, directive. The essence of major policies to increase the competitiveness of the region, its directions and objectives for the national economy have been characterized. The proposals concerning the application of the basic policies of the competitiveness of the region to the appropriate region of Ukraine on the relevant level of its competitiveness have been given.

Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia nowoczesne podejście do polityki konkurencyjności gospodarki narodowej na poziomie regionalnym. W oparciu o wyniki i doświadczenia ekonomistów krajowych i zagranicznych autorzy proponują system wskaźników aktywności regionalnej oraz metodę wyznaczania zintegrowanego wskaźnika poziomu konkurencyjności w regionie. Ten sposób obliczania umożliwia przeprowadzenie analizy dynamiki regionalnej aktywności gospodarczej na poziomie taktycznym (1 rok) i strategicznym (5 lat). Zaproponowano trzy główne polityki mające na celu zwiększenie konkurencyjności regionu: reorientacja, dualistyczna, dyrektywa. Scharakteryzowano istotę głównych polityk zwiększania konkurencyjności regionu, jego kierunki i cele dla gospodarki narodowej. Przedstawiono propozycje dotyczące zastosowania podstawowych polityk konkurencyjności regionu do odpowiedniego regionu Ukrainy na odpowiednim poziomie jego konkurencyjności.
