Territorial-Production Complex, a form of territorial organisation of the economy; an aggregate of associations and enterprises of various branches, interlinked by common raw material sources or technology and located in the same area. Under socialist conditions, the complex is formed in a planned way on the principle of a comprehensive solution to questions of the territorial organisation of production. The working out and implementation of comprehensive target programmes is one of the most important methods for managing the complexes. Territorial and production complexes include enterprises in the extracting and manufacturing industries, building and transport organisations, agricultural enterprises, research institutions and also organisations and establishments in the non-production sphere— housing and public utilities, trade, the services, public health and education. The formation of territorial-production complexes is especially active in the Soviet Union at the stage of developed socialism, in connection with the formation of powerful productive forces and more mature relations of production. Among the complexes that are being set up and developed today are the West-Siberian, Angara-Enisei, SouthYakutian, Timano-Pechora, South-Tajik, and others. An industrial and agrarian complex is being formed in the zone of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly. The creation of such complexes considerably boosts the efficiency with which natural and other resources are used and resolves production and social problems in a coordinated way. The development of these complexes means a further uplift of the productive forces and an important line in building the material and technical base of communism.
