Abstract

Regional development is a highly multidimensional process with a complex socio-economic status that requires comprehensive assessment tools. The article introduces a methodology for integrated socioeconomic assessment within a strategic monitoring system of regional development strategy. The methodology was tested using the example of the Kemerovo Region (Kuzbass) as a case study. The assessment combined the indicator and integral approaches. The resulting system of 78 indicators consisted in five blocks: population quality, population welfare, social quality, ecological quality, and economic development. The Kemerovo Region demonstrated a high level of economic development due to its industrial specialization and potential. However, the integrated assessment revealed structural imbalances between economy, society, and environment. The assessment methodology proved to be an effective tool for strategic monitoring, providing information and analytical support for regional decision-making.
