Abstract:
The aim of this study is to develop an economic-mathematical model for the development of rural areas, grounded in a comprehensive assessment of their resource potential. The research systematizes theoretical approaches to defining the resource potential of a territory (RPT), which has allowed for the clarification of its structure. The methodological framework is based on methods of systemic, comparative, and structural-functional analysis, as well as the principles of economic-mathematical modeling. As a result of analyzing existing RPT assessment methodologies, a classification table was compiled, reflecting the objectives, methods, and indicators used by various researchers. The primary outcome of this work is an original economic-mathematical model where the objective function of maximizing an integral development index is represented as a weighted sum of sub-indices across seven key blocks: historical-cultural, internal and external relations, natural-climatic and natural-resource, ecological, production-economic, social, and demographic. The model incorporates a system of constraints (budgetary, regulatory, resource, institutional, infrastructural, and temporal), ensuring its practical applicability. The scientific novelty lies in formalizing the process of territorial development through the lens of mobilizing structured components of resource potential, enabling a transition from static assessment to dynamic planning. The scope of the results encompasses the activities of regional and municipal authorities in formulating socio-economic development strategies, as well as in developing programs and project portfolios aimed at the integrated development of rural areas. It is concluded that the proposed model provides a foundation for selecting optimal management decisions, ensuring a balanced consideration of diverse development factors and enhancing the validity of investment allocations.
