Abstract

This study examines the methodological and practical aspects of regulatory regulation of the quality of life of the population in urban agglomerations of Russia, which represent a special type of territorial formation that combines the functions of large cities and adjacent rural areas. The aim of the study was to find ways to ensure the quality of life of the population in urban agglomerations based on the potential of using strategic planning and standardization tools. The objectives of the study included solving issues related to the formation of a clear conceptual framework; defining strategies and plans for the development of regulatory regulation of the quality of life of the population of the agglomeration. Based on the analysis of the specifics of urban agglomeration associations, the authors propose a set of measures aimed at stimulating progressive economic development and increasing the quality of life of the population in them. Among the measures outlined to improve the quality of life of the population are a methodological approach to the development of strategic development programs, a model for the sustainable development of an urban agglomeration based on the principles of quality management of territory management, a regulatory regulatory model, and a set of standardization mechanisms and tools. Within the framework of this study, the authors of the article, based on theoretical provisions on standardization, generalization of data from information sources and experience in applying international standards on sustainable development and quality of life, proposed a model of the innovative national standard GOST R "Sustainable development of territories and quality of life. Urban agglomerations. Basic provisions and general requirements". The standard's layout defines the position in terms of terminology used, provides a classification of agglomerations, identifies the functions performed and the organizational structure of participants in the quality-of-life management process, etc. The study of the problem of ensuring the quality of life in urban agglomerations based on the use of strategic planning and standardization tools contributes to the theory and methodology of determining the role and place of urban agglomerations in the management structure of Russian regions.
