Resume

The aim of the paper is to disclose the basic conceptual approaches to the identification and evaluation metropolitan functions of regional centers, as well as coverage of instructional techniques to define the integral index of metropolitan functions of metropolis as an example of regional centers of Ukraine.The main selection criteria of metropolitan functions of towns are identyfied, the conceptual approaches to assessing the development of metropolitan functions of regional centers are disclosed. Considering the existing approaches to the identification and evaluation of metropolitan functions of major cities, we generated its own methodology for assessing metropolitan features of cities of Ukraine, which includes two main phases: identification of hierarchical and functional structure of the metropolis city; evaluation of the implementation metropolitan functions of the city and their subsequent ranking by a considerable margin. The general structure of the functional use of space metropolis that includes the functions of different levels of exposure and degree distribution-specific of metropolitan area, and major cross-functional relationships within it that are established. In order to identify the general hierarchical level of metropolitan city, the classification matrix of metropolitan functions for each city in the metropolitan section 4 major sectors of the economy are formed.For the purpose of assess the level of implementation metropolitan functions of metropolitan cities in Ukraine the integral index of implementation metropolitan functions of metropolitan cities is proposed. Its membership included a set of indicators for all structural elements of the socio-economic system of the metropolitan cities, which in the aggregate state can establish the overall scale of the development and implementation of this function for each metropolitan cities in Ukraine. Selection of functional parameters for assessing metropolitan function, that would be most accurately described by their inner self and specific patterns of distribution, on the basis of detailed analysis of a wide range of activities that are representative with respect to each of metropolitan functions and on which they are implemented in space and are carried out.
