Nowadays, to reinforce their socio-economic infrastructure, to set themselves free from dependence on other nations, to overcome regional imbalances and finally, to move towards sustainable regional development, countries need to first recognize their resources and facilities, and then take initiatives to change their distribution to maximize efficiency.
