FEATURES OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH RUSSIAN REGIONS: A METHOD OF SEMI-AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS OF STRATEGIC PLANNING DOCUMENTS

Abstract. The multiplicity of strategic planning documents and the dynamism of this process constantly raise the question of the development of analysis tools. The purpose of the work is to form a comprehensive methodology for analyzing the texts of strategic planning documents using machine data processing tools. The key emphasis of the proposed methodology is on the ability to carry out a meaningful analysis with the allocation and concentration of semantic constructions. To do this, we use the tools of a content analyzer, a semantic-syntactic parser that allows deep analysis of the document text, as well as a semantic maps tool that provides compression of information obtained at previous stages. The essence of the methodology lies in the fact that at the initial stage three constructions were identified to detect value attitudes, complexes of measures and expected effects embedded in the texts of documents of a number of regions of the North and South of Russia. Further, the tasks of determining significant text constructions, their unambiguous definition and classification were solved using instrumental methods. The next stage, using the word cloud toolkit (semantic map), which considers the frequency of mention and the strength of the connection of words, generalizations in the form of drawings were obtained from the pre-processed data from the strategy texts. Subsequent analysis and comparison of the results for the strategies of the northern and southern regions allowed us to establish that the strategies of the northern regions are much more balanced and comprehensive in terms of the values. On the other hand, if we consider the constructions of measures and the resulting effects, then here, on the contrary, all meanings are concentrated around employment. In addition, it should be noted that semantic constructions related to the life of the indigenous peoples of the north and traditional activities were not reflected in the results of the analysis. These conclusions can be useful both for improving the documents of long-term planning of regional development, and for scientific discussion about the essence of the strategic planning process at different levels of government.
