Research of approaches to typology for systemic description and assessment of economic development of regions

the purpose of the study is to carry out a terminological and substantive analysis of the main definitions of the regional economy, existing typologies of regions, grouping the main approaches to the typologization of regions for a systematic description and assessment of the economic development of regions. Methods: The methodological basis of the research was based on the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, grouping. Historical, systemic and complex innovative approaches were applied to the study of the works of foreign, Soviet and Russian researchers. Findings: in the study, for the integrity of the presentation, the author's position in understanding the basic terms and concepts of regional economic development is developed, historical and modern approaches to the classification of regions are studied, the features of the selection of criteria and the methodology of existing approaches to typologization are analyzed, their disadvantages are highlighted, the procedure for typologizing regions is justified, broken down into stages. Conclusions: to distinguish regions in the assessment, their typologization is necessary, which makes it possible to differentiate the individual features of the functioning of economic systems at various levels, which will subsequently make it possible to determine and assess the level and prospects of economic development. The most important approaches to the typologization of complex systems that the region belongs to are systemic, complex, historical and innovative. A systematic approach involves analyzing the totality of elements and their interrelationships. An integrated approach aggregates knowledge and ensures its clarity of presentation. The historical approach allows us to trace the origin and transformation of the provisions.
