Abstract

Current geoeconomic and geopolitical transformations project on Russian society and its spatial organisation, highlighting the problems of spatial socioeconomic development and its governmental regulation. This article examines the theoretical and applied aspects of the incorporation into the national regional policy of the sea factor, understood as a combination of location and resources, which is determined by a country’s jurisdiction over coasts and waters, its maritime activities and coastalisation potential, including the economic, settlement-­related and psychological elements of the latter. The article describes the key influences of the sea factor on the spatial development of post-­Soviet Russia. The steadily growing impact of maritime activities on the spatial-­economic and settlement dynamics has been given a new impetus by the rising geostrategic, resource and transport-­logistic significance of the World Ocean, as well as its water and water-land substructures, amid increasing military-­strategic confrontation and geoeconomic regionalisation. The article presents a retrospective analysis of the role of the sea factor in Russia’s regional policy and identifies its stages. The authors emphasise the need for a synergy between maritime and spatial policies and proposes ways of achieving it.

Abstract

Coastal territories are the national growth nodes throughout the world. Concentration of human activity along the coast have long been recognized and conceptualized within the notion of coastalization. Russia is often perceived to be exposed to the opposite effect - continentalization. Article analyzes the antecedents of large business localization in 14 coastal regions of the European part of Russia. Results verify the assumption of companies being attracted to marine coasts of Russia, proving the general coastalization trend of economic activity, infrastructure and population. The interest of large enterprises to localize in the coastal zones is associated with the concentration of large oil and gas deposits (offshore and onshore), logistics opportunities and recreational capacity of the coast (mainly at the Black Sea coast). Coastal occupation becomes one of the significant factors of overall economic activity. Being centered on major sea ports (in Novorossiysk, Ust-Luga, Saint-Petersburg, Murmansk, etc.) clustering of business activity acquires cross-aquatic characteristics. This increases the contact function of the coastal zone, strengthening its role of socio-economic and innovation network hub. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The study is focused on providing an in-depth understanding of the development trajectories of the post-Soviet urban settlements in the Baltic Sea region. The main goal is to specify the particularities of population dynamics in coastal areas and provide the assessment of coastalization. The research scope covers the area of the Baltic Sea macro-region, including the entire territories of the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) and three Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Finland, and Sweden), the northern lands of Germany (Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, Schleswig-Holstein) and Poland (Pomerania, West Pomerania), as well as the north-western part of Russia (the city of St. Petersburg, Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions). The research methodology is focused on cities with over 50,000 inhabitants and a detailed study of settlements with over 100,000 people covering a period from 1990 to 2016. The results support the typology of countries by the level of coastalization - pronounced (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia), moderate (Germany, Lithuania, Poland), and differentiated (Russia). Urban settlements with more than 100,000 inhabitants are further classified into demographically stable and depopulating. Population dynamics and economic development is also analyzed against the background of nation-wide growth or decline trends, resulting in a classification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
