Region Vector - Software for Analyzing the Activity of the Population in the Agricultural Sector of the Economy

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose is to create a computer programme based on the methods of mathematical statistics. It will show the vectors of development of rural settlement systems of regions and municipal districts in the agricultural sector of the economy. The information base was the materials of the territorial bodies of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Belgorod, Voronezh, Kursk, Lipetsk, and Tambov regions. Methods. The solution of the main purpose of the work was achieved by using methods of correlation and regression analysis. Vectors of development (theoretical regression lines) of each region were modeled in a rectangular coordinate system. The use of spatial-coordinate analysis of research objects made it possible to visually compare the direction of regional development by the angle of inclination of the trajectories as well as to determine municipalities lagging behind in labour productivity. Results and discussions. Quantitative and visual assessment of changes in the direction of development of agricultural enterprises of five regions of the Central Black Soil Region for the period 2009-2014 was done. On this basis, a computer programme has been created that allows you to objectively assess the development trajectories of agricultural enterprises, farms and farms of the population of the regions. Conclusions. Using the computer programme and spatial-coordinate analysis of models (objects of study) will give an advantage to management institutions in assessing the situation and responding to negative changes in labour productivity in the agricultural sector of the economy of municipalities.
