Methodology for assessing spatial indicators of agrarian technopark formation

This article examines a methodological approach to the development of an integral model for spatial assessment aimed at justifying the localization of agro-industrial technoparks under conditions of institutional asymmetry and territorial heterogeneity of the agrarian economy. The purpose of the study is to develop a scientifically grounded and reproducible tool for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of regions based on spatial suitability for the development of agro-innovation infrastructure. The methodological foundation includes methods of abstraction, systems analysis, induction, and deduction, which provided the basis for constructing a comprehensive model for spatial assessment of agro-industrial technoparks. The empirical implementation of the model was carried out using the case of the Sochi municipality, based on data from the Federal State Statistics Service for Krasnodar Krai, regional and municipal statistical sources, analytical reports of the Sochi City Administration, and information from relevant scientific and educational institutions as well as state support measures. The study resulted in a calculated integral index of spatial suitability of 0.47, indicating significant agro-ecological and demographic advantages against the background of insufficient institutional and infrastructural integration into the agro-industrial reproduction system. The results confirm the applicability of the model in conditions of spatial fragmentation and agro-climatic specificity, as well as its potential as a tool for territorial planning. The study concludes that institutionalization of the agrarian function, enhancement of scientific and personnel support, improved logistical connectivity, and the development of specialized technopark infrastructure are essential. The proposed model can be adapted for strategic management of spatial development in the agro-industrial sector, territorial planning, and prioritization of state support within the framework of national agro-industrial policy.
