Abstract
Abstract. It is proved the importance of environmental management to ensure sustainable development of the port. Based on the study of academic literature, the factors of external and internal environment that determine the need for the development of environmental management are identified. A generalized model of the environmental management system is proposed and the need to introduce a rational management system at all levels of port management is emphasized. It is emphasized that the problem of developing a system of ecological and economic model of management and decision making requires the use of theory and methods of modern information technology, as well as methods of adaptive and intelligent management of port processes in real time based on a set of technological and economic and environmental criteria. It is offered the general principle of formation of the combined criteria of management on all levels of hierarchy according to decomposition of management system structure of a production function and at the account of both economic and ecological parameters. A system-wide generalized technological, economic and environmental criterion for management and decision-making has been developed, which includes both qualitative and quantitative characteristics of services and environmental parameters of pollutants. For all technological and transport processes the local control criteria corresponding to the general system criterion on observations of technological and ecological parameters are received. Variants of criteria of operative management of operational function of port are developed. It is emphasized that the specific choice of quality criteria is determined by many factors, such as the specifics of the problem, the nature and complexity of the object, the simplicity and feasibility of the proposed algorithms. Relevant principles are given for the selection of the appropriate criterion. The concept of ecological management of port’s operational function is formulated. Keywords: environmental management, environmental criteria, seaport, management system, management principles. JEL Classification M11 Formulas: 29; fig.: 2; tabl.: 0; bibl.: 24.
Highlights
The intensive development of maritime transport throughout the world, characterized by the rapid development of integration and globalization processes, has a significant impact on economic growth of both individual regions and states
At present, the resulting economic and commercial indicators of ports’ activities do not include aggregate environmental costs, including the assessment of environmental damage and the costs of restoring air, water, land and biological resources to an acceptable level according to the standards
The analyses of relevant materials [1—4] on the research topic proves the relevance of the studied issues of environmental management of seaport, because the existing system of nature management does not ensure the coordination of economic and environmental interests of modern ports
Summary
The intensive development of maritime transport throughout the world, characterized by the rapid development of integration and globalization processes, has a significant impact on economic growth of both individual regions and states. The analyses of relevant materials [1—4] on the research topic proves the relevance of the studied issues of environmental management of seaport, because the existing system of nature management does not ensure the coordination of economic and environmental interests of modern ports Their irrational use and environmental pollution continue in almost all world ports [5—8], so the goals of society must be realized through the achievement of the relevant goals of industry’s enterprises. First of all, such factors include market transformations, changes in logistics chains, the spread of globalization, fierce competition in the industry, government policy, human resources development, lack of financial resources and so on [13—17] The action of such or similar factors leads to decrease of attention according to the problems of environmentally safe work, protection of the environment from the consequences of activities, pollution in all areas, deterioration of public health [18—20]. On the basis of elaboration of academic literature [8—10; 19; 23; 24] it is possible to allocate the factors causing necessity of development of ecological management (Fig. 1)
