Subject The article deals with the problems of creating an effective system of management of the sustainable development of regions. Objectives The paper aims to study the theoretical foundations of subject-object relationships in the management of a region as a system of identification spaces. Methods To analyze various aspects of the subject-object relationships in regional management, we used the methods of systems analysis. Results Having considered the subject-object and internal structures of the region, its interaction with the outer environment, we propose our own approach to external and internal features and functions of the region. Conclusions Region, as a system, interacts with external environment through the open channels in the administrative, economic, institutional, organizational, and demographic perspectives. Its internal environment is structured by means of vertical and horizontal links between elements. The system has certain contradictions arising from the basic characteristics of the region.
