The paper reveals the features of the landscape of social innovations based on the use of a spatial approach. Using such characteristics of space as unevenness, homogeneity, connectivity, density, and self-organization, the landscape of social innovations in Russia and the West is characterized from the point of view of organizational and managerial aspects. The paper focuses on the study of domestic experience, since there is no unified institutional framework for the development of social innovations in our country. It is determined that at the end of the 1980s, domestic research on innovations in the social sphere began to appear, and in 2007, works aimed at trying to justify and propose forms of organization and management of social innovations began to appear. It is proved that 2012 is the starting point in the systematic development of social innovations in Russia, which is due to the activation of state activity in this direction. A comparative analysis of the characteristics of the landscape of social innovations in Russia and the West revealed that in the first case heterogeneity, low connectivity, high fragmentation, low density prevail, in the second case - homogeneity, uniformity, high connectivity, the highest level of self-organization, and yet low density prevail. It is established that at present the key point of interaction between Russia and the West can be the formation of a unified information system of social innovations.
