Aslaeva S.Sh.

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to ensure sustainable development of regions to overcome heterogeneity and multidirectional trends in the development of territorial entities. The purpose of the study is to assess polarization of the regional spatial development. The author presents the results of assessing differentiation of the regional territorial development, examines the existing approaches to assessing both polarization of spatial development and the possibility of leveling it. An original methodology for the implementation of these approaches is proposed, which is tested on the example of municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The object of research is the economy of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The subject of the study is polarization of territorial entities and causes, factors of its occurrence. Methodological tools are based on the dialectical method of cognition. It is proposed to study the socio-economic situation of municipal entities with the help of a general indicator of social, sectoral, economic and resource blocks, each of which, in turn, consists of three indicators. The economic space of the Republic of Bashkortostan is uneven and distorted with the dominance of the means of production over the production of consumer goods. The greatest polarization is observed in the economic bloc. Leveling of polarization takes place only in the social block. Keywords: polarization, leveling, spatial development, region, system of indicators, generalizing indicator, management, Republic of Bashkortostan. Highlights: existing approaches for assessing regional polarization and the ability to level deformations of the regional spatial development were considered; a complex methodology for assessing regional polarization and the need for leveling it was proposed and tested in municipalities of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
