Factors of creative network development within regions

Aim . The work aimed to determine the degree of influence of regional factors on the development of creative network elements in the field of performing arts, artistic creativity, and architecture within regions. Objectives . The work seeks to review assemblies and relationships within regional creative networks; to identify factors stimulating the development of creative networks in terms of organizations that generate a creative product, organizations that promote the distribution of a creative product, and organizations that perform general infrastructure functions. Methods . The study employed the data analysis and generalization to demonstrate that the network nature of the functioning of creative industries indicates the relevance of modifying approaches to stimulating their development within regions, within the method for creating regional ecosystems. Results . The work revealed the relationship between the level of the creative network localization and the degree of influence of factors of the creative entrepreneurship development. Creative networks, being initially regionally localized, demonstrate significant relatedness both with factors characterizing the macroenvironment and with the tools of organizational support for their activities. Creative networks performing national and international activities depend marginally on regional factors. This should be taken into account when forming development programs. Conclusions . In the course of drawing up development programs for regional creative networks, it is advisable to use methods that have the greatest impact on assemblies and relationships, namely digital tools for maintaining the strength of creative network relationships.
