Economic Transformation of a Mining Territory Based on the Application of a Cluster Approach

The economic aspects of the transformation of the mining industry and spatial development in the city of Berezniki, Perm Region (Russia) are analyzed in the article. A quantitative assessment of inter-sectoral relations within the framework of the economy of a mining city is given. The results of economic and mathematical modelling of the creation of a territorial industrial cluster based on a mining enterprise are presented. The purpose of the study is to calculate changes in the economic development of a single-industry city and a municipal district when an industrial cluster is created on its territory with a mining enterprise as the core of a cluster (the flagship of the municipal economy). When applying the cluster approach, the emphasis was placed on the leading position of the mining enterprise in a specific territory, its role in the development of the economy of the single-industrial city and the municipality was assessed. The result of the study is a quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of creating an industrial cluster in the single-industrial city of the mining industry. It is proved that when forming a cluster around the existing mining enterprise, it is possible to obtain a high positive effect from the cluster for urban and municipal development.
