The main principles of logistic infrastructure development in Abakan-Minusinsk urban agrlomeration

The optimization of regional development is one of the key tasks facing the Russian Federation owing to the growth of the competition on the key markets and that fact that production and primary processing of involved resources in the country has a decentralized character. It gains the greatest relevance in the regions of Asian part of the country providing the most part of extracted minerals. As the logistic infrastructure in these regions is developed by the principle of the minimum sufficiency, now the level of its development concedes to the indicators of developed countries, interfering with the expansion of a range of logistic services, including the improvement of the quality of transport service. As a result the share of transport and warehouse costs in cost of products of both primary, and secondary sector of the Russian Federation is inadmissibly high that reduces competitiveness of regional economy in general. Moreover, insufficient level of the development of logistic infrastructure negatively affects the quality of life in the regions of Siberian and Far East federal districts that, along with adverse conditions of the environment, involves the outflow of the population to more developed regions of the country, thereby reducing cumulative demand for the production made in the regions and even more increasing product cost because of the need of the organization of works by a shift method. As a result, the relevance of the development of logistic infrastructure is shown at regional level even more than over the country in general as it acts as the integrator of the elements of institutional, economic and social infrastructure. The analysis of Abakan-Minusinsk city agglomeration formed on the territory of Krasnoyarsk Region and the Republic of Khakassia has been carried out, its essence as a conurbation is proved. The existing logistic infrastructure of the territory has been considered, its main shortcomings have been allocated and the key directions of development have been defined.
