В этом исследовании рассматривается взаимосвязь между региональной доступностью и экономическим потенциалом в Казахстане на основе обработки эмпирических данных. Исследование показывает, что транспортная инфраструктура, измеряемая протяженностью автомобильных и железных дорог, является одним из решающих факторов, влияющих на региональную доступность. Структура исследования состоит из четырех важных этапов: сбор данных; определение ведущих направлений; корреляционно-регрессионный анализ; обоснование выводов и рекомендаций. Переменными, используемыми в сравнительном анализе, являются эксплуатационная протяженность железнодорожных линий, протяженность автомобильных дорог общего пользования и валовой региональный продукт. Результаты корреляционно-регрессионного анализа выявили значимые связи между протяженностью железных и автомобильных дорог и валовым региональным продуктом (ВРП) выбранных регионов. Полученные модели для Южно-Казахстанской, Северо-Казахстанской и Карагандинской областей показали высокие положительные связи на основе высоких значений R-квадратов. Результаты исследования показали, что переменные, включенные в эти модели, сильно коррелируют с общими региональными изменениями объема производства и лучше объясняют их положительные связи. В исследовании подчеркивается важность учета региональных различий в развитии инфраструктуры и экономических показателей. В результате полученных результатов следует сделать выводы и дать рекомендации, которые могут быть использованы политиками для содействия сбалансированному и инклюзивному региональному развитию за счет сокращения неравенства.

This study examines the relationship between regional accessibility and economic potential in Kazakhstan based on empirical data processing. The study shows that transport infrastructure, measured by the length of roads and railways, is one of the decisive factors affecting regional accessibility. The structure of the study consists of four essential stages: data collection; identification of leading directions; correlation and regression analysis; substantiation of conclusions, and recommendations. The variables used in the comparative analysis are the operational length of railway lines, the length of public roads and the gross regional product. The correlation and regression analysis results revealed significant links between the length of railways and highways and the gross regional product (GRP) of the selected regions. The obtained models for South Kazakhstan, North Kazakhstan and Karaganda regions showed high positive relationships based on high values of R-squares. The study results showed that the variables included in these models strongly correlate with the overall regional changes in output and better explain their positive relationships. The study emphasizes the importance of taking into account regional differences in infrastructure development and economic indicators. As a result of the results obtained, conclusions should be drawn, and recommendations should be made policy makers can use that to promote balanced and inclusive regional development by reducing inequality.
