Industrial parks: development findings

Abstract

Integration processes are one of the most effective methods to improve performance in any sector of the economy. Integration processes are of particular importance in industry, which was the basis for developing all other types of activity. The adoption of the Federal Law on industrial policy has provided with opportunities to open industri-al parks aimed at effective use of lands owned by both regional and municipal authorities and operating industrial cor-porations, to ensure the investments inflow into the region, by increasing employment and boosting the development of the industrial sector of the economy. To date, since 2014, according to Industrial Parks Association (AIP), there are more than 393 parks with various spaces for their activities, the composition of participants, the volume of investments, forms of private ownership, managing companies performing various functions. All these conditions in one way or an-other affect the final result; such influence requires creation of a methodology based on indices showing the mutual influence of factors, the dynamics of development, which is ultimately in the focus of this article. The study of statisti-cal indicators presented by the AIP geoinformation system allowed to formulate relative indicators and their develop-ment trends based on data provided by Vorsino Industrial Park for the period of 2011 to 2020, and to conduct a compar-ative analysis by similar parks.
