Macro-economically, development is usually referred to as the social-economic growth within a region in a specific time range (e.g. one year or longer) expressed via the increase of population, GDP, index of growth of industrial and agricultural production, investments in primary capital, etc. Nevertheless, it seems that the most complete and substantial determination of regional development is the formation and development of territorial social-economic structures within a region accompanied with a stable growth of economic, social, and ecological qualities of regional development.
