Spatial distinctions and inertia of territorial structures of economy in coastal and continental zones (by example of Primorsky Krai).

Abstract

In the subject of the Far Eastern Federal District two meridional zones are singled out. These are the seaside and continental zones, including the frontier one, consisting of the territories – municipal formations (urban districts and municipal areas). The combinations of industrial kinds of economic activity (extraction of minerals, processing industries, generation and distribution of the electric power, gas and water) by municipal unities and meridional zones are considered as the territorial structures of economy. The distinctions between these meridional zones by their territorial structures of economy, social-economic potential and mastering level are shown.
The changes of the territorial structures of industry of Primorsky Krai were estimated by the changes of homogeneous kinds of economic activities in municipal unities and their ratios from 2010 to 2016. The peculiarity of diversification and inertia of development of the territorial structures of economy are revealed in the meridional zones. The changes of the structure of industry of Primorsky Krai occurred for this period  can be characterized as insignificant. Some increase is noted in processing manufactures and extraction of minerals; a share of production of energy, gas and water decreased. In the coastal and continental zones the structural transformations of economy were also not great.
