Суспільно-географічні чинники формування будівельного комплексу регіону в умовах відновлення економіки України

Abstract

У статті розкрито суспільно-географічні чинники формування та розвитку будівельного комплексу регіонів України в умовах післявоєнного відновлення економіки. Методологічну основу становлять економіко- та соціально-географічні підходи, статистичний і порівняльно-географічний аналіз, методи просторової інтерпретації даних і графічної візуалізації. Практичне значення отриманих результатів полягає у можливості використання їх для вдосконалення регіональної політики відбудови, оптимізації територіальної структури будівельного виробництва та узгодження державних і приватних ініціатив у стратегіях просторового розвитку.

The construction complex is one of the key sectors of the national economy, which ensures the creation of a material and spatial environment for human life, the development of production and social infrastructure, and the modernization of settlements. It combines not only material production, but also a complex system of interaction of social, economic, demographic, and spatial and organizational factors. In modern conditions, when Ukraine is experiencing deep transformation processes caused by a full-scale war, the destruction of industrial and residential facilities, large-scale internal migration, and the need to rebuild infrastructure, the role of the construction complex acquires strategic importance. The socio-geographical approach to the analysis of the construction complex allows us to consider it as a territorial system that is formed under the influence of natural, socio-demographic, economic, transport and logistics, and institutional factors. It is their interaction that determines the level of spatial organization of the production of building materials, the location of construction and assembly enterprises, housing construction, and infrastructure facilities. During the period of recovery of the Ukrainian economy after the devastating consequences of military operations, the study of territorial differences in the development of the construction complex becomes of particular importance, which makes it possible to substantiate regional priorities and optimal models of spatial reconstruction of the economy. This article explores the socio-geographical factors shaping the formation and development of the construction complex across Ukraine’s regions during the post-war economic recovery. Drawing on statistical data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, sectoral analyses, and market research on cement and concrete, the study examines trends from 2021 to 2024. It identifies a shift from short-term emergency repair efforts to a phase of systematic, institutionally supported growth and structural modernization within the industry. The strengthening of non-residential and engineering construction, the revival of cement production, and the emergence of new investment hubs in safer and logistically advantageous regions are highlighted. The methodological framework integrates approaches from economic and social geography, statistical and comparative-geographical analysis, as well as spatial data interpretation and graphical visualization. The study demonstrates that the synergy between institutional mechanisms (such as the State Recovery Fund, public-private partnerships, and the Prozorro. Restart procurement system) and resource-based factors (including cement production, metal structure imports, and logistics development) contributes to mitigating material shortages, enhancing infrastructure project efficiency, and fostering regional growth centers. The practical significance of the findings lies in their applicability to improving regional recovery policies, optimizing the territorial structure of construction production, and aligning public and private initiatives within spatial development strategies.
