Abstract
The perspective direction of the development of the economic space of the forest sector is the capitalization of the social and ecological potential of the forest, it makes it necessary to form new ecological systems for the forestry of Ukraine. In particular, the market of social and environmental services of the forest, the object of which is a special commodity is the social and environmental service.It is shown that the opportunities for establishment of the market for social and ecological forest services are determined by the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the socio-ecological potential: the level of forest cover, the natural structure of the forest. And also by the magnitude and direction of the demand for the socio-ecological benefits of forests in these or other ethno-natural and economic territories. The ratio of these components is defined as the commercial balance of the market. This raises the need to develop a methodology for evaluation of the commercial balance of the market, which would allow to determine and forecast the opportunities for capitalizing the social and environmental potential of the forest in terms of volume and range, depending on the natural and economic environment of the territories.The proposed methodology for evaluation of the social and economic potential of forests in the context of the formation of the market for social and environmental services unites three consecutive stages:– identification of environmental problems and social needs of the territories where the project is planned to establish a market for social and environmental services of the forest, the level of their importance and danger;– evaluation of the wooded areas that can determine the volume and quality and structure of forests (tree species, age), which can determine the range of services;– analysis of the marketing environment that allows to determine the possible volume and direction of demand.Practical application of the methodology will make it possible to determine the opportunities and prospects for capitalizing the social and environmental benefits of forests in certain ethno-prodigal and economic areas, that is, with the opportunities and prospects for the formation and functioning of the market for social and ecological forest services.
Highlights
Significant prospects for development of the economic space of the forest sector of Ukraine’s economy are related to the capitalization of the social and ecological potential of the forest, it calls for the formation of new ecological and economic systems for the forestry of Ukraine
One of the most problematic areas of the research object is that the commercial balance of the market, as a known economic category, needs to be developed in order to transform it into a market for social and ecological forest services, a new ecological and economic system for the forestry sector of Ukraine
It is possible to effectively implement the social and environmental potential in an in-depth study of the complex of social and environmental needs of a particular region, which is largely determined by the natural and economic environment. With these studies addressing the problem of capitalization of social and environmental benefits of forests through the formation of a market for social and environmental services, it follows that an important prerequisite for the formation of the market is the corresponding commercial balance of the market, an important component is the total amount of forest resources
Summary
Significant prospects for development of the economic space of the forest sector of Ukraine’s economy are related to the capitalization of the social and ecological potential of the forest, it calls for the formation of new ecological and economic systems for the forestry of Ukraine. A special problem lies with consumers who unambiguously perceive the policy regarding the need to pay certain funds for using the natural resource of the forest, which they are accustomed to use for free, necessitating the development of a methodology for evaluat ion of the commercial balance of the market. These features motivate to determine the commercial balance of the market as a ratio between the volume of social and environmental benefits that can generate forests and the volume of these goods, for which they are willing to pay, and the volume of commercial consumption. Macroeconomics: Development of productive forces and regional economy direction is the volume and range of social and environmental services that consumers are ready to pay for today, which determines real demand
