Summary/Abstract: The deepening socio-economic imbalances and the negative trends in the development of the EU and our country determine the need to justify a new approach to managing the processes in the complex territorial systems. Of particular importance is the underlying understanding of the objectively existing regionality and the factors contributing to the growth of development imbalances. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop a new methodology for analyzing and evaluating the complex organization and structure of socio-economic and cultural-ecological processes and systems, based on the interpretation and measurement of geospatial inequalities.
