Abstract: The strategic orientation of the use of the spatial and sectoral potential for the development of rural areas is due to the consideration of rural territorial specifics and the peculiarities of the functioning of various sectors of the economy in the countryside. Based on this, rural spatial and sectoral potential (a different combination of resources, reserves and opportunities) will ensure the influx of population and investments into the countryside, which will contribute to improving the standard and quality of life of rural residents. In this vein, a methodology was developed that made it possible to assess the impact of strategic spatial and sectoral potential on the development of rural areas through a system of indicators that include the spatial and sectoral characteristics of rural municipalities, as well as rural development (financial, economic, infrastructure and social). When testing this methodology in 2022, 5 groups of rural areas of the Lipetsk region were obtained, which, combined with subsequent forecasting for 2027 and 2030, made it possible to substantiate 3 types of municipalities: stably developing areas (33.3%), remained at the same level of development (22.2%), not developing (44.5%). Recommendations were proposed at the regional and municipal levels, allowing to take into account the rational use of spatial and sectoral potential for the development of rural areas and to substantiate the main priorities for maintaining the specialization of the rural economy and expanding other types of activities in the countryside.
