Resource potential of the region: structure and efficiency of use

The article explores the theoretical approaches of Russian and foreign regionalists to the region, resources, potential, efficiency in the use of resource potential concepts definition. The authors note the versatility of the efficiency concept in the context of various aspects of the national economy. They conclude that the efficiency of using the region resource potential is understood as the rational use of the resources under management to achieve the goals set, to meet the existing demand. Further, it is determined that the structure of the resource potential remains a subject of discussion in the scientific community, there is no consensus on the constituent elements of its structure. The authors emphasize that the systematization of the structural elements of the resource potential of the region and approaches to its definition is especially relevant for the Russian economy, as it will allow determining the directions for using the resource component of the country’s economy. The economic space of most regions of the Russian Federation is characterized by uneven economic development and its weak diversification, at the same time they have significant natural resource potential. To ensure the competitiveness of resource-oriented regions in the national and world markets, to create import substitution programs and ensure the innovative content of their economy, it is necessary to transform the structure of the economy in favor of higher technological structures.
