Information Support Strategic Management Processes Environmental Policy of Cities

Abstract

In the report presents some methodological and applied issues of information support for strategic management processes environmental policy of cities, which, within the framework of the National concept of sustainable development of Russia (1996) relate to the lowest level of its system organization. The purpose and the main direction of using the results is the development of “human-machine” planning systems (or support) for optimal management decisions for regional and local structures of environmental management. The research methodology based on the new paradigm of system representation of the world, the theory of “noosphere” by P. T. de Chardin, E. Le Roy (1927), V. I. Vernadsky (1933), a “new theory of entropy” by A. N. Panchenkov (1999). Object of research – the Active Complex organized Systems (ACS) class “nature-society”; subjects – concept and conditions of “equilibrium” and “Sustainable Development” (CSD in the abbreviation UN, 1993) such systems. Research methods – game-theoretic modeling and “Games against Nature”: antagonistic, coalition, cooperative, strategic, situational, etc., which required by the conditions of setting tasks, games. In the simulation, this will ensure the full integration of all currently available natural science knowledge, as well as the ability to perform computational operations others organizational management systems of the class “nature-society”. For that in this study suggests a new “geosystem” approach to the study of sustainable development problems in urban environmental policy, which includes the possibilities of both external (“technogenic”) and internal (or “soft”, that is, maintaining and restoring the ecological balance) management of Nature and Society.
