SYSTEMATIZATION OF ETHNOECONOMIC VECTORS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE KRASNODAR TERRITORY

Summary/Abstract: The research aims to study the role of ethno-economy in the regional development of a polyethnic region and the structure of its vectors, which allows considering ethno-economy as a structure-forming factor for territories. Methodology: the research was conducted among ethnic entrepreneurs of the Krasnodar Territory. The authors studied the Strategy for Socio-Economic Development of the Krasnodar Territory until 2030 and surveyed 40 ethnic entrepreneurs engaged in ethnic tourism and crafts. Conclusions: according to the authors, the basic ethno-economic vectors include ethnic and ethnographic tourism, traditional agriculture and traditional nature management. The ethnic entrepreneurs surveyed indicated several problems in the selected ethno-economic vectors, for instance: limited availability of state and municipal programmes that would mobilize additional resources; weak infrastructure of the ethno-economic segment of the region, which makes the ethno-economic environment less competitive; and low financial resource capacity of the segments of the ethno-economic environment. Practical significance: the authors compiled a matrix table presenting the application of methods for regulating the ethno-economic vectors of the regional development of the Krasnodar Territory, which allows the authorities of the region to distinguish between the methods of regional ethno-economic development in order to control the management situation, adapt instruments and guidelines, and provide tangible support to ethnic entrepreneurs in line with the identified vectors of ethno-economic development of the region.
