Methodical Approaches to Assessing the Regional Transport Potential of Ukraine: Modern Realities and Development Guidelines

Abstract

The article's purpose is to justify methodological approaches to the assessment of the regional transport potential of Ukraine by modern realities and the determination of development guidelines. The author's approaches to defining the concept of "transport potential" are grouped. To evaluate the transport potential of the regions of Ukraine, it is proposed to use the assessment of the resource provision of the transport system and the results of their activity of the transport system by group indicators (resource provision; natural and geographical characteristics). The evaluation of the regions by the level of development of the transport potential showed that the Dnipropetrovsk region was in the first place, the Kharkiv region was in the second place, and the Lviv region was in the third place. It was determined that the lowest level of development of transport potential is in the Chernivtsi region. It has been proven that methodical approaches and determined rating assessments of the transport potential of the regions of Ukraine make it possible to structure the resources of the national transport system by individual regions in the context of infrastructural support of the national production sphere
