The road network in the Altai region: assessment of condition and effect for socio-economic development

Abstract
The condition of the road network by many researchers regarded as one of the factors in the region development, and noted the special importance of this infrastructure component development for rural areas. In the literature on the subject often noted that the lack of roads in agriculture and their poor quality has a negative impact on social and market infrastructure, can lead to violation of relations between economic entities, to slow the development of the labour market, to create tension in the social sphere workers, etc. In this paper, we examined indicators that allow us to assess the condition of the Altai territory road network: the coefficients of the Engel, Goltz, Uspensky, Vasilevsky; road network density per 1000 sq. km of area and per 10 thousand of population. Also we carried out a correlation analysis of the relationship of these indicators to the main indicators of the Altai Territory agricultural areas socio-economic development (the average wage per employee and level of unemployment). And we constructed the linear regression models that characterize the impact on the socio-economic indicators of the road network development level.
