Abstract

The paper identifies key aspects of social changes occurring as the result of strengthening the relations between natural resources’ use and markets’ functioning in the digital economy framework. The traditional model of the market’s interaction with the system of natural resources use is transformed, and the new socio-economic place is established. Main indicators of the process are changes in GDP and employment in various sectors of the economy, modification of the knowledge and information sector into the important factor of production and economic growth, and emergence of the competitiveness. It is concluded the economy’s digitalization is able to ensure more efficient use of natural resources and consequently provide more revenues – primarily due to better assessment and accounting of natural resources and their conservation. However, the digitalization can occur only if special investment and innovation policy, which presumes integration of the science and industry, development of an internal market of high technologies and application of financial instruments. Factors powering the process of integration of the system of natural resources use into the zone of market influence are substantiated. Social effects of the platform interaction of the nature management system and the market for the population, public authorities and the government have been discovered. The maximum effect of their implementation into the processes of market interaction with natural resources should be preceded by structural transformation of the economy, shifting approaches to management of relevant innovations, imperfection of the nature management model and adaptation of the education system. In order to ensure the country's economic development through integration of natural resources into the market framework the differentiated approach is needed to separate policies for local communities of different size and degrees of urbanization, since they have unlike human, financial and technological capacities to digitize local economies. The most effective tools for integrating the system of natural resources use into the market area on the basis of digital technologies have been proposed.
