The service sector plays a significant role in vital activity of society since it provides the population employment, satisfy population’s need in services, and ensures filling the local budgets.

The specialized territorial system of services (a set of interconnected enterprises in one branch) is highlighted, which is a part of the integrated territorial system of services, it has bodies of sectorial and sectorial-territorial management, it is characterized by incomplete completeness, the specialized territorial system of services is found in its “pure form” very rarely, it is distinguished by a noticeable internal differentiation.

The technique of the analysis territorial differentiation of indicators involves the study the content of the territorial development of a chosen process (phenomena), choice of indicators, delimitation the study area, statistical ordering of indicators, construction the cartographic models, identification spatial dependencies, trends, prospects development.
