Abstract
In this article, the authors examine conceptual approaches to regional visions of the future through the lens of the projected transition to modeling regional socio-political processes. They conclude that, to ensure such modeling in the context of dynamically changing external and internal factors in which Russian regions exist, the most stable element will be the vision of the regional future in its value interpretation, primarily due to the fact that waves of change in universal values typically last for decades. However, to model value indicators for the purposes of managing regional strategic development, these indicators must be quantified. The authors propose quantitatively assessing the value basis of a regional vision of the future using the methodology sociologist Sh. Schwartz, based on the results of sociological surveys of regional populations.
