Abstract

The current socio-economic situation in rural areas is characterized by a number of problems that hinder sustainable development. The low quality of life, the existing level and quality of life in the village, the lack of social infrastructure, the environmental situation, limited opportunities for work in the village, low incomes of the population compared to the city had a significant impact on the process of migration and deterioration of the quality of the labor force, depopulation of the rural population. In this context, the solution to the problem of rural settlement development is very relevant.

The regional leadership chooses the direction of rural development without taking into account the current socio-economic situation at the municipal level and the peculiarities of rural settlement development, which reduces the effectiveness of territorial administration.

The level of rural development was assessed on the example of the Orel region. The current socio-economic situation in rural areas is characterized by many problems that hinder its transition to sustainable development. The problem of depopulation of the population in rural areas is revealed. At the same time, the destruction of social and engineering infrastructure is observed, the area of cultivated land is reduced, and differences in the level of socio-economic development of the periphery, semi-periphery and suburban areas are increasing. The analysis of the differences in the socio-economic development of the municipalities of the Orel region indicates an increase in intraregional differentiation during the period under review and the absence of an effective intraregional policy aimed at reducing the existing socio-economic asymmetry within the subject of the Federation. Proposals for its solution have been developed, which should be implemented in the context of continuous monitoring of the state and development.
