Modeling the «code space» of the territorial heritage of an industrial region[Моделирование «Пространства Кодов» Территориального Наследия Индустриального Региона]

In this article, the author reveals the theoretical and methodological features of modelling the space of the territorial heritage of an industrial region. To do this, he made a brief historical digression in the context of the evolution of scientific views and opinions of famous scientists about the presence of hereditary memory in the territory and its influence on the state of the economy. It was found out that economic genetics is a developing science with an unsettled categorical apparatus. This fact determined the purpose of the study - to identify the structure and model the code space of the territorial heritage of the industrial region. As the main morphological elements of the heritage space, the author identified the “determinative” codes of the region and justified their methodological features. The article also reveals the essence of the industrial, social and institutional codes of the industrial territory and proves that they form its genetic core, which is responsible for information recording in the regional memory. To model the code space of the territorial heritage, the author developed a methodological tool and tested it on the example of the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions. As a result, it was found that the models of the code space of the territorial heritage of the studied industrial regions have a certain similarity in their morphological manifestation. They contribute to the further development of manufacturing industries, primarily in the metallurgical industry, while the innovative trend of economic growth in the region is not a priority. The general conclusion that was made by the author concerns the identification of the typicality of the heritage space model of the industrial territories in the Urals
