FEATURES OF EFFECTIVE CLUSTERING IN MINING REGIONS OF UKRAINE
Introduction. The present stage is meeting the de-
velopment of Ukrainian regions regulated in accordance
with the relevant programs, legislative acts and new
state strategy elaborated for the regional development
up to 2020. The main objectives of the strategy defined
by public authorities in the long-run include economic
restructuring of Ukraine's regions. Especially, it con-
cerns regions and industrial centers having excessively
concentrated heavy industry and suffering from envi-
ronmental problems. Mining regions entirely meet all
the features of the regions expected to be restructured.
Thus, the main objective of the state regional eco-
nomic policy of Ukraine is to increase the national
wealth through the efficient use of natural resources, la-
bor, scientific and technical potential of the regions, as
well as the improvement in the system of their local in-
teraction for achieving internal regional balance.
However, modern regional economies, especially
those of the mining regions, are functioning under the
growing social and economic differentiation of the eco-
nomic situation and future prospects, industry fragmen-
tation and instability of the state support, which cer-
tainly block the rapid achievement of the sustainable de-
velopment countrywide.
Consequently, the future economic development of
Ukraine should be based on the conceptual changes in
the policy being elaborated and adopted for the effec-
tively functioning regions, as integrated systems. The
development of regional economy should include signs
of continuous positive dynamics of general vector of the
regional development and strategic strengthening of re-
gions in the short term.
Analysis of recent research and publications
based on the problem under consideration. The prob-
lems of productive forces distribution were discussed by
V.V. Kovalevsky, A.L. Mikhailyuk and V.F. Semenov
(13). Financial aspects of the regional development
were investigated by M. Kovalenko (6) and N.L. Krem-
pova (7). The innovation infrastructure in the region was
the core issue highlighted in research циклі by Z.V. He-
rasymchuk (3) and N.T. Rud. The dynamics of the in-
vestment potential of regions was analyzed by
V. Lischuk (8) and the scientific rationale of regulating
the regional economy was presented in the works by
M.S. Pashkevych (10).
The course of the European Union to an active re-
gionalization of the economy, that is shifting the empha-
sis and empowering regions in making decisions on spa-
tial development, indicates that overcoming the crisis of
the productive forces development is the challenge of
not only national or local level, but the global one. Thus,
research aimed at the development of the conceptual ba-
sis and elaboration of the effective mechanisms to stim-
ulate regional economic growth, especially in mining ar-
eas in Ukraine, is extremely important.
The aim of the article is to analyze and to make
recommendations about some features of effective clus-
tering in ukrainian mining regions.
The main part. Effective growth and development
of a region is a complex process that leads to solving the
problems of the population at the regional level, im-
provement in the living conditions of the inhabitants of
the region by balancing social, economic and environ-
mental development that is based on the rational use of
all resource potential of the region, including geograph-
ical features of the region, and also features of the econ-
omy, infrastructure and industry of small cities belong-
ing to the region.
We must emphasize that conditions are changing,
and problems of how to create conditions for effective
development of the region, enhance innovations, im-
prove the structure of the regional economy and improve
competitiveness of products and services are becoming
increasingly important.
Modern society shows that the integration of the
Ukrainian economy into the global economic system is
not possible while ignoring the trend towards consolida-
tion resulting in the appearance of cluster associations.
Foreign experience also proves that the cluster ap-
proach is the necessary condition not having alternatives
for a significant increase in competitiveness of countries
and their regions. The deepening global integration pro-
cesses and worsening territorial competition necessitate
updating mechanisms to ensure the development of
Ukraine's regions, particularly through the cluster ap-
proach.
The cluster approach is a new view of the regional
economy, the essence of which is a combination of ben-
efits of cooperation achieved by closely related eco-
nomic agents located within a single area, which allows
the region to get economic benefits in one or more field
of business and industrial branches.
The problem of conceptual foundations for the for-
mation of the spatial production clusters to encourage
the development of mining territories under social and
economic depression has special relevance to Ukraine
because, unlike the EU, there are no specific legal doc-
uments governing the formation, operation and liquida-
tion of clusters in our country.
The analysis of conceptual approaches to defining
the essence and models of cluster and factors analysis of
regional economic development revealed that presently
Yu. Papizh
68

existing cluster models cannot be adopted to mining re-
gions in Ukraine.
This is connected with the following reasons.
Firstly, in general, clusters are specialized and refer to a
specific branch. It means that they bring together busi-
nesses producing goods and services relating to a partic-
ular industry. However, the mining industry, which is
undergoing the slum stage of its life cycle, cannot be the
basis for creating specialized competitive clusters.
Secondly, under modern conditions, the effectively
functioning specialized cluster is supported by the es-
tablished and well-adjusted system for supplying a wide
range of resources at the lowest cost - that is the cluster
is working due to the highly developed infrastructure
servicing industrial processes. However, a mine in
Ukraine is a separate industrial facility located on a large
territory without developed infrastructure and with lim-
ited set of available sufficient resources. Therefore, the
project of creating the cluster spatially located in the
mining region, as well as its further performing almost
from a zero starting point, require a huge amount of in-
vestments and make it virtually impossible to imple-
ment.
Thirdly, mining companies (independent mines)
are complex geological objects. Some of them princi-
pally cannot cease to function - that is to be closed, given
the need, for example, of mine water continuously to be
pumped. In fact, such mines have to be constantly work-
ing in the mode of water pumping facility to prevent
flooding of the surrounding areas. Also, underground
cavities of some mines contain methane gas. It hides the
threat of explosion and leads to the need of permanent
measures to ensure the ecological conditions of these re-
gions at the minimum level.
Hence, these mines are constantly in need of sig-
nificant financial resources for maintenance, which, re-
spectively, is a financial burden for the state and local
budgets. At the same time, the potential cluster orga-
nized on the territory, will have to compensate the cost
of maintaining such mines through the allocation of a
certain percentage of its funds for these purposes. If the
amount of expenses necessary for the maintenance of
mines that cannot be abandoned exceeds the profitabil-
ity of cluster operations, it could lead to no reduced costs
saved by companies working in regional clusters.
Fourthly, specialized industrial cluster usually re-
quires highly qualified experts to be employed through
the creation of favorable labor climate, motivation sys-
tem and appropriate and well-developed social infra-
structure. For example, if you compare the Silicon Val-
ley cluster having high internal standards of corporate
culture, team work behavior, social responsibility of
government and business and social infrastructure, with
possible clusters in the territory of mining regions being
areas of environmental, economic and social depression,
it becomes clear that it will be extremely difficult and
almost impossible to effectively implement the project
of establishing the specialized regional cluster expected
to ensure high environmental, economic and social
standards in these regions.
Fifthly, we need to emphasize that as a rule, indus-
trial clusters are integrative units of high energy and wa-
ter consumption. These basic resources are to be sup-
plied from the outside of the cluster, which, respec-
tively, affect the level of total costs and have the dy-
namic of growth under conditions of global energy and
water deficit. At the same time, today there are no en-
ergy and water generating clusters – that is structures
with a closed energy and water cycles, which would op-
erate independently in terms of vital resources and have
a certain level of resource and, consequently, production
autonomy. Thus, these clusters would have their own re-
source center and provide autonomy in energy and water
consumption.
Conclusions. All said above allowed the conclu-
sion that the process of implementing the cluster mech-
anism for effective regional development is to be stud-
ied properly. Cluster structures represent spatial forms
of production organization focused on innovation and
regional development. Cluster development, as a factor
of activating the regional economic development, is a
characteristic feature of the current style of economic
management in the administrative territorial formations.
The world experience in economic clustering has
shown that it makes a decisive influence on the process
of strengthening competitiveness and fosters innova-
tions. Presently emerging innovative economy is fo-
cused on the priority of cluster development which
proved to be one of the most effective production sys-
tems of the era of globalization. This is a new economic
phenomenon that allows us to face the onslaught of
global competition and properly comply with national
and regional development standards.
To deepen the understanding of the mechanism of
implementation and the effective implementation of
clusters in Ukraine, we should systematize the main fac-
tors of the regional economy development. However,
modern scientific basis for the establishment of effective
forms of cluster regional development and regional eco-
nomic growth is not fully formed. Its implementation
needs to be improved especially for the mining regions
which have specific nature of mono industrial economy
and are in a condition of economic depression.
In order to improve the theoretical and methodo-
logical bases of the creation of spatial industrial cluster
forms for the optimization of the regional economy, es-
pecially in mining regions, we offered to consider the
factors of territorial organization of productive forces,
organizational culture, dynamic changes and the level of
economic agents’ integration.
Thus, the authors pointed out the need of creation
of new clusters for mining regions, taking into account
factors that are adaptive, dynamic and regulated in the
context of economic changes. It is these factors of the
regional development that are the levers for efficient
clustering, especially in mining regions having their in-

dustrial characteristics. It will give impetus to the stabi-
lization of the economic, social and environmental re-
gional processes.

Mining regions have specific features that should
be fully integrated into the strategy ensuring their har-
monious development. Methodological principles and
concepts for the recovery and sustainable development
of these regions should be elaborated by means of tools
for clustering. The analysis of the cluster concept and
patterns allowed identification of the reasons for not em-
ploying cluster models existing in various regions for
mining areas in Ukraine. The article stresses the neces-
sity of creating specific clusters for mining regions that
will have new design given the factors of the spatial al-
location of productive forces, organizational culture and
dynamic changes in the integration processes under-
taken by economic agents.
