The resulting equation was used to determine the level of the integral index of the
development of the business environment of twenty-seven territorial units of Ukraine
for the period 2006, 2011, 2016
In the framework of the proposed methodology, the integral indicator of the level
of the region's business environment varies from 0 to 1.0. The closer the indicator is to
1.0, the higher the level of development of the business environment. The result of the
calculation of the integral index of the level of development of the business
environment of the region is the hierarchically located regions of Ukraine, the criterion
for differentiating which is taken as the value of the integral indicator. The specific
value of the integral index (or indices characterizing separate subsystems of the
business environment) does not have an economic interpretation - only the place that
belongs to each region on a single scale is important.
So, the author has calculated the integral indices of the economic, social, political,
legal, institutional, informational and ecological subsystems of the business
environment of Ukraine. Their results allowed us to obtain an integral index of the
business environment of the regions of Ukraine (Table 1).
7. Comparative assessment, ranking of regions with subsequent clustering
according to the value of the integral index of the development of the business
environment. The determination of the optimal number of ranges was carried out in
accordance with the Sturges formula. The calculation is carried out for a sample of
indices of development of the business environment of the regions separately for each
year - 2006, 2011, 2016
The range of variation of the regional business environment development index
in 2016 will be equal to (9) [12]:

To calculate the ranges of the index of development of the business environment
of the regions in 2016, there is the equation
