TRANS-DISTRICT CENTERS OF SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE: A NEW APPROACH TO THEIR IDENTIFICATION (CASE STUDY OF THE TVER OBLAST)
Abstract
The article develops an idea of trans-district infrastructure centers. The author suggests a new approach to the identification of the trans-district centers of social infrastructure and the territories under their control. The technique is based on the information about the government agencies located in the center. It is also necessary to know about their territorial structure within the region. The analysis of the state institutions hierarchy in the Tver oblast made it possible to identify several groups of such centers with the different degree of development of their trans-district functions.
