Abstract:

This article presents results of theoretical and methodological analysis of contemporary social infrastructure from the regional point of view. This infrastructure is a multilevel organizational economic system, which includes industrial, social, network-connected, institutional sectors and vital infrastructure. Special attention is paid both in Russian and foreign literature to social infrastructure, the development of which is connected with mounting needs to create necessary conditions for daily living activities of society. The author describes functions, types, models and distinctive features of social infrastructure on the basis of functional, structural and dynamic characteristics analysis. Social infrastructure is a key element of social and economic
development of the region. It is aimed at delivering various social non-material services, including health care, education, and recreation.
