Modern transformations of russian economic space and development of social infrastructure

The article highlights modern emphases of Russian and foreign research studies on social infrastructure. Trends of changes in the content of the "social infrastructure" concept in Russian realities are considered. Taking into account global post-industrial trends, as well as peculiarities of spatial development of Russia and its regions, the need to transform the content of "social infrastructure" concept is substantiated. The analysis of macro-regional space saturation of the Far East by components of social infrastructure is carried out, their parameters are specified. The urgency of problems considered is determined by the necessity of saturation and consolidation of Russian regional space. Thus, social infrastructure is considered from the standpoint of Russian spatial development as a component of space configuration (saturation and consolidation).The purpose of this article is to highlight relevant attributes of modern social infrastructure from national perspectives of human potential preservation and human capital accumulation, as well as to determine indicators and parameters of social infrastructure state of priority macro-region, the Far East. It is proposed to include in concept of social infrastructure functionally significant and thus relevant to the current stage of national development in the post-industrial period components: human potential preservation and human capital accumulation with an emphasis on consistency. The authors propose classification of social infrastructure according to functional bio-socio-humanitarian criterion. The algorithm of complementarity is formed: indicators of each function correspond to specific statistics. This approach is appropriate for use in order to manage development (saturation) of regional (macro-regional) space, especially the Russian Far East.
