Ecosystems of smart territories: cartographic and economic analysis tools

Abstract

In economics, the ecosystem approach becomes the main method of analysing large communities. In this paper, the object of research is the ecosystem of a smart territory (smart ecosystem, i-ecosystem). The subject of the study is economic relations based on the analysis of the results of mapping the ecosystem of a smart territory. We single out economic analysis as the main tool of ecosystem management. The synthesis of mapping the ecosystem of a smart territory and various methods of its analysis allows us to identify key growth points and promising directions of ecosystem dynamics. The problem of the study is the lack of systematization of the directions of ecosystem economic analysis. The purpose of the study is to systematize the directions of economic analysis based on the results of mapping the ecosystem of a smart territory. Logical and systematic methods of research allowed to conduct a content analysis of scientific papers. The research algorithm includes a review of previous studies, formulation of the research problem, systematization of the directions of economic analysis of the ecosystem of a smart territory. The methodological foundation of the research is represented by the system concept, the paradigm of sustainable development, and the ESG approach. The result of the work was a table on the directions of economic analysis of the ecosystem of the smart territory.
