What factors influenced the development of the industry. Metallurgical complex: composition, significance, location factors

This video tutorial is dedicated to the topic “Metallurgical complex: composition, significance, factors of placement. " At the beginning of this lesson, we will define what structural materials are, what they are. Then we will discuss the composition of the metallurgical complex, its importance for the industry of our country, and also consider the factors of location.

Topic: General characteristics of the Russian economy

Lesson: Metallurgical complex: composition, significance, location factors

Metals are one of the main construction materials. Metals are produced by the Metallurgical Complex.

The metallurgical complex is a set of industries that produce a variety of metals.

The composition of the metallurgical complex.

The metallurgical complex includes two large branches of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy.

Ferrous metallurgy is the production of metals based on iron (cast iron, steel, ferroalloys), as well as manganese and chromium.

Non-ferrous metallurgy - production of more than 70 metals with valuable properties (copper, aluminum, lead, zinc, etc.)

The enterprises of the metallurgical complex are engaged in the extraction and enrichment of metal ores, the smelting of various metals, the production of rolled products, the processing of metals in various ways to obtain the desired properties, the processing of secondary raw materials, the production of auxiliary materials.

1. The products of the metallurgical complex serve as the foundation for mechanical engineering.

2. The products are widely used in construction, transportation, electrical engineering, nuclear and chemical industries.

3. The share of metallurgy accounts for 16% of the total industrial production in Russia, 10% of the population employed in industry.

4. The complex consumes 25% of the coal mined in the country, 25% of the generated electricity, 30% of freight rail transportation.

5. Metallurgical products are one of the main export items of Russia.

6. Russia ranks 1st in the world for steel exports, 4th for steel production after China, Japan, and the USA

7. Metallurgy is a major environmental pollutant. Its enterprises emit tens of millions of tons of harmful substances into the atmosphere. Large metallurgical centers are cities with an unfavorable environmental situation. Open-pit mining of ore causes great harm to nature

1. Material consumption - the cost of materials for the release of a unit of production.

Large consumption of raw ore raw materials, therefore metallurgical enterprises are located near sources of raw materials. For example, the production of 1 ton of steel requires 5 tons of ore, and the production of 1 ton of tin requires more than 300 tons of ore.

2. Energy intensity - energy consumption per unit output.

Many enterprises of the complex are located near sources of cheap electrical energy, because it takes a lot of energy to produce. For example, for the production of 1 ton of aluminum, 17 thousand kW * h are needed, and for the production of 1 ton of titanium, 30-60 thousand kW * h of electricity.

1. Labor intensity - labor costs per unit of output.

On average, a metallurgical plant employs from 20 to 40 thousand people, and this is the population of a small city.

2. Concentration - concentration of large volumes of production in one enterprise.

More than 50% of ferrous metals and 49% of non-ferrous metals are smelted at 5% of industrial enterprises. This high concentration contributes to cheaper products, but makes it difficult to respond to market changes.

3. Combination - a combination in one enterprise, in addition to the main production, industries related to the main technologically and economically.

In addition to metallurgical production, a metallurgical plant includes the production of cement and building materials, the production of nitrogen fertilizers.

4. Environmental factor - negative impact on the environment.

About 20% of air and waste water emissions. Ferrous metallurgy accounts for 15% of industrial emissions into the atmosphere and 22% for non-ferrous metallurgy

5. Transport factor - a modern metallurgical plant receives and dispatches the same amount of goods as a large city, so it cannot operate without a railway.

It is profitable to create metallurgical enterprises in areas of ore mining (Ural, Norilsk), in areas of fuel production (Kuzbass) or production of cheap electricity (South Siberia), at the intersection of ore and coal flows (Cherepovets), in areas of consumption of finished products (St. Petersburg or Moscow).

Improvement of communication lines, transport and communication

Post-reform Belarus possessed significant inland waterways, but the canals were in a state of disrepair and little funds were allocated to clear them. Yet river transport was a profitable area of \u200b\u200bcapital investment. Since the 70s, with the acceleration of the restructuring of the landlord economy on a capitalist basis, sales of products have increased, which has led to an increase in the cargo turnover of river transport. The main place among the goods was occupied by timber, firewood and bread, passenger traffic increased. However, despite the cheapness, river transport also had major drawbacks - slow movement, which ceased in winter, the internal river network covered a small, moreover, sparsely populated territory.

Railway construction had a great influence on the economic life of Belarus. In 1862. the St. Petersburg-Warsaw highway passed through the territory of Belarus, in 1866. - Rizhsko-Orel, in the 70s - Moscow-Brest and Libavo-Romenskaya. In the 80s. the Polesye railway began to operate, since 1902. Petersburg-Odessa. As a result, Belarus gained a closer connection between its various regions of its own, as well as with the most important industrial regions of the Russian Empire. By the beginning of the nineteenth century. the formation of the internal market of Belarus is nearing completion. Local cities and entrepreneurs expanded trade ties with Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Baltic States, and Ukraine. Economic ties between Russia and Western countries were carried out through Belarus.

In addition to railways, there were many unpaved roads in Belarus, but most of them were in a very neglected condition, and the only mode of transport on them - horse-drawn ones - was expensive. Postal routes played an important role at the end of the 19th century. They passed along the main provincial roads, connecting the provincial centers with most cities and with the largest estates, and expanded the scope of the postal service.

Belarus was part of the all-Russian market. The export of agricultural raw materials and forest materials was typical for the trade of Belarus. At the same time, it served as a sales market for industrial goods and grain that were exported from other regions of Russia. At the same time, capital was centralized, and the role of banks in the economy was growing. Bank capital was channeled primarily into the sphere of trade and small-scale production, and industrial credit did not receive significant development. In the 80s of the 19th century, branches of the State, Peasant, Noble banks, Minsk Commercial, Vitebsk Provincial and other banks operated in Belarus.

Thus, the development of railways and communications, transport and communications, as well as the expansion of trade, banking and credit systems had a great impact on the development of capitalist relations in the industry of Belarus.

Urban growth. Population of Belarus

During the post-reform period, urban population growth accelerated. The average size of a Belarusian city in terms of population during the post-reform period has increased 2.2 times. Minsk developed rapidly and turned into an important railway junction and a large commercial and industrial center. The second largest population was occupied by Vitebsk, located on the Western Dvina, which contributed to the development of trade. Mogilev, deprived of railways until 1902, developed slowly.

The abundance of cheap timber and small capital of entrepreneurs led to the predominance of wooden buildings in cities (by 1897, wooden houses were 90%). One of the indicators of the development of cities was the growth of their income, in the first post-reform years mainly due to income from expanding trade. By the end of the 19th century, fees from the rapidly developing industry increased. From 1859 to 1900, the incomes of the cities increased: Grodno - from 9 to 123 thousand rubles; Brest - from 10 to 90 thousand rubles; Minsk - from 21 to 208 thousand rubles; Vitebsk - from 18 to 101 thousand rubles (2, p. 25).

Small towns played a significant role in the economic life of Belarus. They usually housed the centers of volosts, landlord and handicraft enterprises. But the main population of the townships was engaged in agriculture. In total, there were 1,334 thousand people in the cities and towns of Belarus at the end of the 19th century, i.e. 20% of the population. An important indicator of socio-economic development is the literacy of the population. According to the 1897 census, there were more than 1.3 million literate in Belarus, i.e. 20.5%, with 19% in European Russia (6, p. 107). But, nevertheless, education was the privilege of the ruling classes: the clergy, nobles, merchants and burghers. According to the census of 1897, one can imagine the occupations of the amateur population of Belarus (Table 1).

Table 1. Occupations of the amateur population of Belarus according to the 1897 census

The above information about the various occupations of the population of Belarus by the end of the 19th century illustrates the growth of the social division of labor. Structural data on the amateur population of Belarus confirm that at the end of the 19th century, the economic development of Belarus was approximately at the all-Russian level.

Supporters of the first of themadhering to the concept unilinear world history, believe that all countries and peoples, including Russia and the Russian nation, go through the same stages in their evolution, common for all, move along one common path for all. Representatives of this School interpret certain features of Russian history as manifestations of the backwardness of Russia and the Russians. This point of view is characteristic, first of all, of the historical journalism of the Westernist, including the dogmatized Marxist, direction.

Professional historiansproceeding from the same methodological premise, as a rule, avoid using the concept of "backwardness" in relation to the history of Russia, preferring a different term - "Delay" in the movement of Russian history; accordingly, the center of research is transferred by them to identifying the reasons that slowed down the course of the historical evolution of Russia.

Supporters of the second approach to the study of Russian history proceed from the concept of multilinear historical development... They believe that the history of mankind consists of the histories of a number of distinctive civilizations, each of which mainly develops (developed) any one (or a specific combination of several) aspects of human nature, evolves along its own path; one of these civilizations is the Russian (Slavic) civilization.

In Russian and foreign historiography, three main factors are usually distinguished that determined the features (backwardness, delay, originality, originality) of Russian history:

1 ) natural and climatic;

2 ) geopolitical;

3 ) confessional (religious);

Natural and climatic factor:

The influence of the natural and climatic factor almost all researchers of the originality of the Russian historical process noted the specifics of Russian history. The last time I stopped on this problem L.V. Milov, who, in solving it, relied, perhaps, on the most solid factual basis. In his opinion, in central Russia, which formed the historical core of the Russian state (after its movement from Kiev to North-Eastern Russia), “with all the fluctuations in the climate, the cycle of agricultural work is only 125-130 working days (approximately from mid-April to mid-April September old style). For at least 400 years, the Russian peasant was in a situation where thin soils required careful cultivation, and he simply did not have enough time for it, as well as for the preparation of feed for livestock ...

If external unity is characteristic of Catholicism (“Power, domination, discipline”), then for Orthodoxy it is rather an internal unity: conciliarity understood as the involvement of the Orthodox in the common Absolute. Orthodoxy does not seek direct secular power, concentrating its attention on the souls of people. The way of theological thinking is different in the West and in the East. “For, striving for the truth of speculation, Eastern thinkers care first of all about the correctness of the inner state of the thinking spirit; Western - more about the external connection of concepts. In order to achieve the fullness of truth, the Easterners seek the inner integrity of the mind: that, so to speak, the focus of mental forces, where all the individual activities of the spirit merge into one living and higher unity. Westerners, on the contrary, believe that the attainment of complete truth is possible for the divided forces of the mind ... They understand morality with one sense; to others, graceful; useful - again with a special meaning; they understand the true with an abstract reason, and not one ability knows what the other is doing, as long as its action is completed.

As a result of the fact that Russia and the West received Christianity through various intermediaries, the peculiarities of Christian upbringing were radically different from them: “theology in the West took on the character of a rational abstraction - in the Orthodox world it retained the inner integrity of the spirit; there is a bifurcation of the forces of reason - here is the striving for their living aggregate; there is the movement of the mind to truth through the logical cohesion of concepts - here is the striving for it by means of an internal elevation of self-consciousness to the heart's integrity and the focus of reason; there is a search for outer, dead unity - here is a striving for inner, living; there the church mingled with the state, combining spiritual power with the secular and merging the ecclesiastical and secular significance into one device of a mixed nature - in Russia it remained unmixed with secular goals and structure; there scholastic and legal universities - in ancient Russia, prayer monasteries that concentrated the highest knowledge; there is a rational and school study of higher truths - here is a striving for their living and integral cognition ... in a word, there is a bifurcation of the spirit, a bifurcation of thoughts, a bifurcation of sciences, a bifurcation of the state, a bifurcation of society, a bifurcation of family rights and responsibilities, a bifurcation of the moral and heart state, bifurcation of the entire totality and all separate types of human existence, public and private; in Russia, on the contrary, the predominant striving for the wholeness of being internal and external, public and private, speculative and everyday, artificial and moral ... bifurcation and wholeness, rationality and rationality will be the last expression of Western European and Old Russian education. "

Without interfering directly with the affairs of secular power, Orthodoxy nevertheless had a decisive influence on the Russian political tradition. Investigating this issue I.N. Ionov notes that one “of the central concepts of the state ideology of Byzantium was the concept of taxis, the essence of which was ... the convergence, the union of the earthly and heavenly orders. The unifying force was the power of the emperor, the normal functioning of which largely relieved tension (the contradiction between what is and what is due, between the earthly and heavenly order) ... Thus, in Orthodoxy, the power of the “present”, the Orthodox tsar became the guarantor of the possibility of future “salvation” after death. .. If in a European city in a Protestant environment, beliefs pushed a person to active economic activity (its success helped him to be convinced of his “chosenness”, in the coming individual “salvation”), then in a Russian city, not an economic, but a political path was opened up for a person “ salvation ”, and with a strong collective component.

From here, on the one hand, the economic activity of Europeans and the creation of civil society by them as a mechanism to assert their interests, as an instrument of struggle for economic success, and on the other hand, the search for a "real" tsar in Russia ... The gradual secularization of ... views led to the fact that in the West, especially in the USA, the highest criterion for assessing human activity, if you like, the embodiment of the meaning of life, became market assessments, wealth, while in our country the rapprochement of the real and the ought was realized in the form of a collective movement towards a better future, in the ideas of social justice ... The force that connects the real and the proper ... in the USSR, there was still a charismatic power, the state. "

Geopolitical factors. In the history of Russia, natural and geographical conditions have always influenced the formation and development of society. The vast territories of Russia had both their pros and cons. An undoubted advantage was the vast expanses of the North and Siberia, the development of which brought considerable benefits. However, in contrast to Western Europe, where, figuratively speaking, there were more people than land, in Russia, on the contrary, there is more land than people. The settlement of new lands could only occur due to the outflow of the population from the historical center of Russia, where there were already a few people (in the XVI-XVII centuries, the population density in Russia was 1-5 people per 1 sq. Km, in Europe -10-30 people) ... Continuous territorial expansion also predetermined the fact that over the centuries economic development went on in breadth, was ensured by quantitative factors (extensive type). The Russian population did not have an urgent need to move from traditional farming to a more efficient one, since there was always an opportunity to move to new places, to develop new territories. In addition, the excess of space gave rise to a dangerous temptation for humans - to solve all their problems by fleeing to unpopulated outskirts. This situation also determined the specifics of the emerging economic, social and political relations. To ensure order on the territory of Russia, it was necessary to maintain a whole army of officials, soldiers and policemen. Another disadvantage was the harsh nature, which made the conditions extremely unfavorable for the development of agriculture (on average, agricultural work was possible for only 130 days per year). As a result, the Russian peasant was on the brink of survival, and the state by force withdrew the surplus product for the needs of the army and the state apparatus. The flat character of the area, its openness, the absence of natural geographical boundaries also affected the history of the state. Russian lands were not protected by natural barriers: they were not protected by either the seas or mountain ranges. The constant threat of military incursions (for a long time Russia was under the threat of ruin, sometimes the conquest of the country by nomads) demanded from the state enormous efforts, material costs, and human resources to ensure its security. In addition, in order to break through to the seas, Russia had to wage intense bloody wars for centuries. A direct consequence of this was the growing role of the state and the army in society. In geopolitical terms, Russia occupies an intermediate position between Europe and Asia, centuries-old parallel interaction with the Christian West and the Muslim-pagan East determined the history of Russia and formed the bifurcated national consciousness of Russians. Russia was not only a bridge connecting East and West (while experiencing various influences of their culture), but also a barrier separating and protecting them from disastrous collisions with each other.

Continuous expansion of the country's territory (colonization)- forcible (Kazan and Astrakhan khanates, Crimea, Finland ..) or voluntary (Georgia, Ukraine) annexation of territories, the development of new desert territories by the peasant population (Siberia).

Social factor... Russian society has always remained extremely unstable socially. Due to the difficult living conditions, the low-income nature of the economy, serfdom (which turned out to be an inevitable phenomenon in Russia, because it was the only possible system of forcibly-forcible withdrawal of the surplus product from the population for solving national problems), the poor, who were in the majority, were always ready rebel against both their masters and local authorities, and against the state.

Political factor... The vast territory of the country, the weakness of economic relations between individual regions, social and national contradictions, the presence of constant external danger required strong central governmentwith a developed apparatus of control and coercion. The Moscow princes managed to create it by the beginning of the 16th century. In the 16th century, a political ideology was developed, in the creation of which the first Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible took part. The system of power built by the Moscow sovereigns has received in history the name "autocracy", that is, an unlimited monarchy. The autocracy existed without significant changes until 1917. One of the features of the Russian historical process was exaggerated role of the supreme power in relation to society. Even estates were formed under the direct influence of the authorities. Society was divided into layers with a clear definition of the status and functions of each. The Cathedral Code of 1649 consolidated the position of various categories of the population and the range of their duties. It should be emphasized that due to the specifics of Russian history reforms were always started by the state... Hence, the position of the supreme power was of decisive importance for the fate of the transformations: kings, emperors, general secretaries, and now presidents. The impetus for the beginning of Russian reforms, which made it possible to overcome the powerful resistance to traditions and interests, were, as a rule, external factors, namely, the lag behind the West, which most often took the form of military defeats. Since the reforms in Russia were carried out entirely by the supreme power, all of them were not brought to their logical conclusion and did not fully resolve the social contradictions that gave rise to them. Moreover, many reforms, due to their inconsistency and incompleteness, only exacerbated the situation in the future. The special role of the state in the process of Russian reforms "from above" turned the bureaucracy into their sole developer and leader. Therefore, its significance in the fate of Russian reforms was enormous. The number of bureaucracy in Russia grew rapidly. The final fate of reforms in Russia depended on the position of the ruling elite, on the results of the struggle of various groups and clans of the bureaucracy. Besides , a constant series of reforms and counter-reforms, innovations and backward movement - a characteristic feature of the Russian reform process.

National (ethnopolitical) factor... A large number of different, including non-Slavic, ethnic groups took part in the formation of the Russian people, however the Slavic component has always remained dominant (The Slavs, purely outwardly adopting other people's customs, internally retained their originality and over time processed everything foreign in their own way). In other words, the future Russian people were originally born on a multi-ethnic basis. Ethnic diversity of Russia and inevitably accompanying her separatist sentiments served as one of the prerequisites for strengthening the monarchy, the development of its military and police apparatus. However, the Russian monarchy gradually developed a rather flexible and effective national policy. She sought to win over the local nobility, keeping her old and granting new privileges, including her in the composition of the all-Russian ruling class. Moscow avoided interference in the internal life of national communities whenever possible. Important circumstances were the traditional tolerance and habitability of the Russian people, which was alien to the psychology of the "nation of masters."

All over the world, the location of various industries, transport, agriculture does not happen by chance, but under the influence of certain conditions. Conditions that have a great influence on the choice of location for the development of production are called factors of production location.

Factors influencing the location of production

The factors of the location of production forces are a set of external conditions and resources, the correct use of which ensures the best result in the development of economic activity and the location of production.

The most important factors in the location of production include:

• Raw materials - location of enterprises in close proximity to sources of raw materials. Most factories and plants are built near large water bodies, mineral deposits. Thanks to this, time and financial costs are saved for the transportation of large volumes of goods, and the cost of finished products will be significantly lower. The raw material factor has a decisive influence on the location of enterprises for the production of cement, potash fertilizers, timber, for the beneficiation of non-ferrous metal ores.

Many natural resource deposits are almost completely devastated. This led to the fact that mining enterprises began to develop new places, most often difficult to access. For example, currently oil and gas production takes place in bays and seas. These industries require large investments and are highly polluting.

Figure: 1. Oil production at sea.

• Fuel - this factor has a decisive influence on the location of enterprises that use a large amount of mineral fuel in their work: fuel oil, natural gas, coal. These industries include the chemical industry, ferrous metallurgy, heat power engineering.
• Energetic - determines the location of industries using large amounts of electricity. Such industries are called energy-intensive. These include enterprises for the production of paper, chemical fibers, light non-ferrous metals. They are placed near large hydroelectric power plants.
• Labor - influences the location of production facilities that employ a large number of labor resources, including high-level specialists. Such industries are called labor-intensive. These include vegetable growing, rice growing, production of personal computers and electronic equipment, garment production. Such enterprises are located in densely populated areas with cheap labor.

Figure: 2. Manufacture of electronic equipment.

• Consumer - affects the location of enterprises producing consumer goods: clothing, footwear, food, household appliances. They are found in almost all large settlements.
• Transport - this factor is very important for industries whose products need to be supplied to other regions. To reduce additional transport costs, many production facilities are located near large transport hubs.
• Ecological - the role of this factor lies in the negative impact of most chemical industries on the environment. That is why they cannot be placed in densely populated areas. Otherwise, more stringent requirements for purification technologies apply to them.

Table "Factors of production location"

Production location conditions

The location of production also depends on such external conditions as the natural environment, population, base for scientific and technical potential, socio-historical conditions for the development of specific production.

One of the most important conditions for the location of many industries, in particular, agricultural activities, are agro-climatic indicators. The natural fertility of soils, the water regime of the territory, and the specificity of the climate largely determine the productivity of such sectors of the economy.

Figure: 3. Agriculture.

The connection between the conditions and factors of the location of production is very great. Only with a competent approach, taking into account all indicators, it is possible to create the most efficient and productive production.
