Sustainable Development Modeling of Southern Federal District
The article considers the cognitive modeling of sustainable development for the Southern Federal District, which includes the interrelated factors identification of sustainable development for the Southern Federal District to construct a cognitive map and the subsequent simulation scenarios for the region. Theoretical analysis. There are given the general characteristic of the Southern Federal District, its main indicators in line with the sustainable development strategy, which helped identify the interrelated factors of sustainable development for the Southern Federal District, with the goal of cognitive map development. Methods. Cognitive modeling explains the specifics of shapes and patterns, modification and development of complex systems, semi-revealing interrelated factors for the sustainable development of the Southern Federal District, with the aim of building its development strategy. Results. On the basis of the cognitive map simulation four most typical scenarios are presented for the Southern Federal District and their analysis with the aim of building a strategy for district development through a set of control actions to enhance sustainability.
