“…In recent years, rail routes between China and Europe have become a feasible alternative to other routes. It has become possible first because of the investments in rail infrastructure (Bulis and Skapars, 2014;Yang and McCarthy, 2013), especially into inter-regional logistics centres and dry ports along transport corridors (Gafurov et al, 2014). Second, the economic growth in Asia continues to contribute towards the formation of trans-continental transportation systems through Russia with access to markets in Europe (RZD-partner.com, 2014a).…”

Purpose This research examines factors that determine the improvement of the Russian supply chain sustainability. The strategic business model incorporates ecological, social and economic aspects. Design/methodology/approach Considering Trans-Siberian Railway as a typical case, the study selected several cases or the parts of the primary rail connection with the affiliation of important neighbouring countries. The study uses quantitative analyses of a variety of size parameters (e.g. volumes of traffic, logistics costs, delivery distance and air pollutants). Findings The empirical findings stress that supply chains should favour in the future railway (or intermodal) connections for piggyback and containerised cargo. Herein lays the reason for the examination of all traditional factors affecting the modal choice and their complementation by the parameters to measure sustainability throughout the supply chains. The inclusion of the green practices positively affected the environmental, social and economic performance of the new approach. Research limitations/implications This research focuses on the delivery of cargo in containers and semi-trailers within wagons through the overland corridors. Despite the restrictive empirical findings within the national transport system, some elements can be representative of the international supply chains, provided that intermodal services are the most appropriate for the transportation over long distances. Practical implications Clients, media and regulatory bodies stress the consideration of environmental aspects at all stages of a global supply chain. Therefore, their adoption into strategic imperatives of local supply chains becomes inevitable. Originality/value An assessment of supply chains for longer distance transportation in Russia has not taken sustainability into account within cost analyses.

“…Logistical activities allow companies to have access to a range of different services, such as third-party suppliers, transporters, distributors, stockists, truck terminals, railways, ports and airports, allied manufacturing specialised information technology, highquality workforce, and low qualification (Gafurov et al, 2014;Heijman et al, 2017), allowing the creation of auxiliary companies to their activities, such as truck maintenance companies, software suppliers, specialised law firms, financial service providers, among others (Heijman et al, 2017). The work developed by Gafurov et al (2014) indicates that the creation of inter-regional logistics centres leads to reductions in transport costs of 7 to 20%, a reduction of 15 to 30% in the cost of handling and storing resources and final products, and accelerates the turnover of material resources by about 20 to 40%.…”

“…The experience discussed by Gafurov et al (2014) shows that the creation of an interregional logistics centre in the interior of Russia, in Sviyazhsky, has provided the development of the industries of the region and strengthened the ties of cooperation between Russia's interregional strategy for the country's economic development, as well to a series of strategic objectives to improve the socioeconomic development of the regions.…”

Background: Regional Development (RD) allows countries to balance regional differences by providing economic and social benefits to communities. This research highlights the importance of logistics activities to regional social development, and a framework to assess these connections is proposed. Objectives: How to boost regional socioeconomic development through logistics. Methods/Approach: The contributions of logistics to socioeconomic development are analysed based on the previous research, and the case of the Alto Minho (AM) region in Portugal was used to illustrate the connection between logistics and regional development. Results showed that logistics had created jobs, increased company turnover and exports, and increased GDP growth in several regions. For the AM region, results indicate that many companies are operating in this area, contributing to supporting municipalities to reduce regional disparities. Conclusions: A framework for assessing regional logistics performance is proposed together with several logistics performance indicators. This approach is essential for future developments integrating logistics into socioeconomic development.

Abstract. In the article, key factors of development and main elements of logistics infrastructure are outlined, their impact on different areas of regional economy is evaluated. The authors conducted comparative study of different groups of factors and built an econometric model for some of them. The resulting regression made it possible to find important interdependencies for Kazakhstan, namely: increase of the demand for transport and logistics services by 1% leads to GRP increase by 7.013 billion tenge (USD 20.7 mln); the investment to the infrastructure sector increase by 1% leads to GRP increase by 0.638 billion tenge (USD 1.9 mln); the commodity stocks in warehouses increase by 1% leads to GRP increase by 2.747 billion tenge (USD 8.1 mln), and increase in tariffs on transportation by 1% results in GRP decrease by 25.745 billion tenge (USD 75.9 mln). To increase the efficiency of the regional economy functioning, the authors introduced an approach to regulate and manage logistics infrastructure in the regions, incorporating the latest global trends as well as adapting to the unique needs of different macro-regions of Kazakhstan (in terms of their investment and logistics capacities). The carried out grouping of the Kazakh regions within the author approach made it possible to ground the formation and singling out the perspective growth poles which should become the country's integration zones with regional and global markets. They are the hubs in the following macroregions: North with the centre in Astana; Central-East with its centre in Ust-Kamenogorsk city; West with the centre in Aktobe; South with its centres in Almaty and Shymkent. The economic characteristics and development potential of each growth pole is presented in the paper.
