Spatial Distribution of Human Capital’s Environmental Parameters

Abstract
The article examines the environmental parameters of human capital development by means of spatial statistical analysis. A number of indicators chosen by the authors reflect “resource availability” and “anthropogenic load” and is included in the set of parameters for the development of human capital. The UN member states world map was taken as the coordinate system for the analysis. In this system, the basic law of geography on the “neighborhood factor” was tested. At the same time, the “neighborhood factor” was tested in two kinds of spaces: physical (geometric neighborhood matrix) and geopolitical (geopolitical neighborhood matrix) ones. Both matrices were developed by the Center for Spatial Analysis of International Relations of the Institute for International Studies team, MGIMO University. The authors used multivariate analysis (in this paper, the analysis of the geographic average and multidimensional scaling) to test the hypothesis that in the modern world, physical space and, accordingly, physical neighborhood are not as important as geopolitical space based on ideological neighborhood. However, the study showed that despite the fact that the role of physical space is weakening, it still prevails over geopolitical, at least in such highly geographically determined indicators as the environmental components of human capital.
