ECONOMİC FUNCTİONS OF FİELDS OF İNFRASTRUCTURE

M.M.Jamshidi

Abstract. Infrastructural facilities are serving industries and popu­lation, and therefore, are stimulating the deve­lop­ment of the country and its regions. These industries al­low to use the natural resources, as well as the natural and geographical conditions. They also contribute the le­vel of services, rendered to population. Development of transport-, energy-, heat- and water sup­ply infrastructure has an impact on the efficiency of pro­duction, the use of manpower, and also the creation of more specialized companies. Therefore, it seems ne­ces­sary to create a network of infrastructure, meeting mo­dern requirements.
