The investigation proposes a number of approaches to assessment of the factors of historical heritage in terms of their impact on quality of living and socio-economic development of a multicultural region. The monitoring variant and the complex of methods were substantiated to give predictive assessment of the prospects of socio-economic development of a region in the analysis of historical retrospective of its development. They are based on the analysis of the category of quality of life and represent the combination of logical modeling methods (including the construction of forecast scenarios), mathematical-statistical and expert judgments.In particular, the authors propose a modified index statistical method of monitoring and forecasting of the dynamics of the quality of life of a region, taking into account a social differentiation of its territory. The authors have elaborated the quality of life (dynamics) change indicators, considering a historical retrospective. These indicators form the basis for the identification and analysis of regional development scenario variants. The paper also presents an adaptable method of expert judgments based on a questionnaire for social and economic forecasting.The Republic of Tatarstan, being one of the most dynamic multicultural regions of Russia with rich historical and cultural heritage was selected as a base region. The paper presents a number of forecast scenarios of development of the region, based on the differentiation of the quality of life of regional community, and takes into account local areas of compact settlement of various ethnic groups.The comparative evaluation of these scenarios is provided.

The impact of large-scale logistics center (LC), which carries out integrated logistics (information, storage and transport) services at the organization of full-transport control, on the development of regional economy is analyzed. Problems of relationship of changes in the organization of transport environment of region and increase of efficiency of its economy by increasing budget revenues as a result of the performance of large-scale logistics center, and constructing on this basis new service industries are investigated. Authors assess prospects of influence of Sviyazhsky interregional logistics center on the economic development of Tatar Republic, and increase of competitiveness of its economy, taking into account service of international transit traffic “Western Europe - Western East”, “Northern Europe - Countries of the Middle East” which is accomplished by this LC.

An approach to solving of optimization problems of inter-municipal passenger bus transportation routes network based on the development of a regional standard of service quality and the system of principles of its designing is proposed. A model of passenger traffic is discussed. Defining of network is based on the formation of a feasible set of route variants with choosing their optimal combination. The method and the indicators for quality rating of a route network are proposed.
