The degree of permeability of the state border is one of the determining factors in utilizing the potential of the economic-geographic position of border regions. In different time periods the level of border barrier varies and is determined by a combination of national and local interests. This study examines the relationship between the nature of border functioning and the intensity of transport links in the border area as a basis for cross-border cooperation. The aim of the article is to assess the degree of changes in the integration of transport systems of border regions under the increasing influence of the barrier function of the border. The object of the research was the Kaliningrad region and its neighboring regions of Poland and Lithuania, the relations between which are in the stage of transformation from good-neighborly to conflict ones. The research methodology included the assessment of monthly statistics of movement through the Russian-Polish and Russian-Lithuanian dyads in 2022 in comparison with data on the number and geography of Internet users’ requests in the Kaliningrad region reflecting their intentions to move over the same period. The results obtained, on the one hand, showed a natural compression of the flow of cross-border mobility in conditions of deteriorating institutional conditions, and, on the other hand, the preserved transport connectivity of border regions even in conditions of prevailing barrier function of the border and positive reaction of their population to news about liberalization of border crossing regime, expressed in the growth of Internet requests.

Digital transformation of socio-economic processes is the basis for sustainable development of regions in the digital age. The foundation for such a transformation is the information and communication infrastructure and, first of all, the mobile Internet. The technological growth of mobile networks has provided a rapid increase in the number of users around the world, contributing to further digitalization. With the development of digital technologies, research in the field of human geography has received a new impetus. The impact of the Internet on all spheres of life has necessitated a rethinking of the existing geographical approaches to the study of physical space and the emergence of a new object of research — digital space. On the one hand, the latter is closely connected with traditional institutions and systems. On the other hand, it is characterized by its own patterns of construction and functioning. The problem of delimiting the boundaries of cyberspace makes it difficult to manage digital processes taking into account territorially determined needs and interests, while the current socio-economic unevenness of regional development results in the digital divide. Border regions, maneuvering within the dichotomy of ‘frontier — integration bridge’ models, can gain additional benefits from the development of digital infrastructure in the context of realizing their integration potential. This article assesses the geography of the mobile internet in Russia and its connection with the development of border regions. The authors use geo-information, statistical, and econometric analyses to assess the impact of mobile technologies on interregional information transfer, commodity-money flows, and migration. The study demonstrates the diversity in the availability of mobile internet access among residents in various categories of border and interior regions. Furthermore, the research establishes a link between the quantity of transmitted digital data, the import-export of goods and services, international migration, and two key metrics: the accessibility of 4G mobile internet and the number of mobile subscribers. The article pinpoints specific border regions within the Russian Federation, including Krasnodar Krai, Leningrad, Kaliningrad, Novosibirsk, Smolensk, Rostov, Chelyabinsk, Voronezh, Samara, and Kursk regions. These regions exhibit pronounced potential for executing integration functions through the advancement of digital technologies, particularly under favourable geopolitical conditions.

“…In the territory, there is always a spatial differentiation in distribution of favorable and negative geographical factors that significantly affect the diversity and location of elements of territorial socio-economic structures, including their cores, periphery, borders [2,7,8,9,10,11,12]. As a result of the combined action of favorable and negative geographical factors within the territories, territorial socio-economic structures of different ranks are formed, their necessary dynamics and stability in the process of socio-economic development are ensured.…”

Geographic factors are highlighted: geographic, including economic and geographic position; a combination of natural conditions, including extreme natural processes and hazardous phenomena; natural resources and their territorial combinations, as well as territorial structures of the economy and settlement. These factors play an important role in achieving sustainable regional development -as a stable development balanced in the economic, social and environmental spheres. Wherein, all geographical factors receive their spatial and substantive definiteness and completeness in the zoning system, within the boundaries of certain districts and their relations. It is offered to develop a combination of geographical zoning of large regions, including physical-geographical, natural-resource, functional, economic, socio-economic. Within the framework of certain types of zoning, more complete assessments of geographical factors and their influence on the sustainable development of regions are possible.
