Hierarchical analysis of urban space

Multi-level structure of urban space, multitude of subjects of its transformation, which follow asymmetric interests, multilevel system of institutions which regulate interaction in the "population - business - government -public organizations" system, determine the use of hierarchic approach to the analysis of urban space. The article observes theoretical justification of using this approach to study correlations and peculiarities of interaction in urban space as in an intricately organized system. Hierarchic structure of local communities in urban space is presented, depending on objective function, motivation to integration, level of demand and resources. Several levels of local communities' integration are given out by mesoeconomic analysis. The objective of modeling of local communities, business, authorities and nonprofit organizations as subjects of urban space interconnections and interaction is set. This objective is considered as a novelty, because the existing studies focus on the analysis of regions and gross enterprises. This research focuses on modeling of municipal-level objects' functioning (city) and their correlations with objects of other levels of hierarchy. Level and urban space institutions hierarchy is simulated. Matrix of correlations between the subjects within the transformation of urban space is developed. Two models of urban space development are excreted depending on urban space interactions and correlations, and the qualitative characteristics analysis of these models is presented.
