Abstract
Abstract The study aims to substantiate theoretical and methodological aspects of the use of strategic environmental assessment as an instrument for public regulation of the ecological status of territories. The research methodology is based on using a systematic approach for conducting a strategic environmental assessment of the possibility of environmental problems and threats posed by the implementation of long-term projects and current activities. The development of ecological balance, comparison of the results of normative and exploratory forecasts of the state of the environment become the basis for the formation of goals of strategic environmental management, the appearance of a set of measures for the conservation and restoration of natural resources. Identification of factors influencing the state of the environment is a necessary condition for the prevention of pollution of territories, inefficient use of natural resources, justification of the essential measures of state regulation to ensure the achievement of goals. The practical experience of assessing the achievements in the management of the conditions of the environment is illustrated by the example of regions of Ukraine. The proposed approach to the development of the ecological balance and the methodology of complex assessment of the ecological status of the territory have scientific novelty and contribute to the assessment of the effectiveness of public administration balanced development of the territories.
Highlights
Ensuring sustainable development of the territory requires overcoming the contradictions between socio-economic growth and the conservation of natural resources for future generations [1]
An important instrument of public regulation should be a perfect system of evaluation of achievements, which will identify the weaknesses of each component of the socio-economic system and form effective mechanisms of motivation for development
We propose to call the useful measure of sustainable development and its components as ‘indicator’
Summary
Ensuring sustainable development of the territory requires overcoming the contradictions between socio-economic growth and the conservation of natural resources for future generations [1]. For vast territories with multinational populations (like Ukraine), regions make a significant contribution to sustainable development. The level of environmental pollution, the state of conservation of biological diversity, the comfort of living, the life expectancy of the population and the level of its well-being depend on the efficiency of management in a particular territory. Regional sustainable development processes must be managed, and the environmental aspects of strategic. An important instrument of public regulation should be a perfect system of evaluation of achievements, which will identify the weaknesses of each component of the socio-economic system and form effective mechanisms of motivation for development. A sufficiently consistent system of sustainable development indicators for the regions is still lacking even at the international level. None of them provides a comprehensive description of the components of sustainable development
