Samoylov A. Social Security of regional sociogeosystem (case of Kharkiv region)

A social and geographical analysis of the state and the formation process of social security of Kharkiv region at the level of district sociogeosystems was made. The original methods of research of social security were established; understanding of social-geographical process as a functional environment of formation of social security was improved; it was shown that the management of formation of social security of the region was possible through the components of sociogeoprocess. The dynamics and spatial differentiation of the formation process of social security in the Kharkiv region was explored; the analysis of the state of social security in terms of system development was made; the trends of social security development were defined; and classifications of district sociogeosystems by different criteria were made. The results of system analysis were proved by the formal hierarchical classification of the districts using the methods of cluster-analysis. Using modeling of trajectory of sociogeoprocess in normalized multidimensional characterized space, the peculiarities of dynamics of formation of social security were defined; the main problems of social security for the region as a whole and for each district were identified; the specific parameters for which sociogeosystems deviate from the optimal trajectory were found out, what required special analysis and making appropriate management decisions. Specific ways of optimization of the formation of social security of the region were established.
