Organizing Statistical Research and System Monitoring of the Development of Macroregions
Due to a certain practice to target territories incorporating one or several subjects of the Russian Federation as objects of state regulation, this article clarifies the definition of a «macroregion» and uses specific examples to show particular characteristics of a macroregion as an entity of statistical observation and monitoring. We analyze statutory enactments which govern the organization of public statistical systems and monitoring investigations. Through the example of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, we demonstrate the objectives and validate our recommendations on how to organize statistical surveillance and system monitoring of the current condition and development of macroregions.
