Formation of the spatial organization of agro-industrial complexes in the Belgorod region: statistical analysis and architectural-planning aspects

The article is devoted to the analysis of the formation of the spatial organization of the agro-industrial complexes of Belgorod Region. The dynamics of land use, the structure of farms, and the socio-economic aspects of rural development are considered. The purpose of the study is to identify patterns of land use and to formulate recommendations for improving architectural and planning solutions to increase the efficiency of the agro-industrial complex. Statistical data for 2017–2025, a cadastral database (1522 plots), and a list of 125 farms were used. The methodology is based on statistical, comparative, and GIS analysis. The results showed that the level of arable land use remains stable at 61%. Farms are mainly focused on grain crops, which requires the development of storage and processing infrastructure. The scientific novelty lies in comparing local statistics with the concept of cluster zoning of rural areas developed by M. V. Perkova. The practical significance lies in the possibility of applying the results in the design of rural infrastructure and territorial planning.
