Abstract

The article considers the main theoretical and practical approaches to the concept of sustainable development, international approaches to the implementation of sustainable development principles, practical mechanisms for implementing its social, economic and environmental indicators, organizational and managerial aspects of environmental protection for different regions. It conducted a study of the basic provisions of the concept of sustainable development of territorial communities of Eastern Podolia in the implementation of the state strategy. The system of estimation parameters of influence of factors of external and internal environment of territorial communities on the basis of the complex approach taking into account economic, ecological and social component is offered. It was found that ecologically balanced development of territorial communities of the region directly depends on the development of environmental management, marketing and auditing, environmental assessment of economic decisions, strategic environmental assessment, environmental impact assessment, ensuring proper environmental safety and the formation and implementation of effective local environmental policy. Therefore, the authors proposed to use a detailed scheme of components of sustainable development of local communities to write and implement strategies. Based on the research, the authors recommended 24 social, 16 economic and 24 environmental indicators of sustainable development of rural, urban and urban territorial communities of Eastern Podillya. It was found that the justification and development of any long-term program for the development of the local community should always be associated with objective risks. SWOT-analysis of local communities in the region should be used to reduce these risks. Therefore, to determine the ecological status of any territorial community of Eastern Podillya, its socio-economic development, it is necessary to conduct a SWOT-analysis. It should include the identification of strengths (strengths) and weaknesses (limitations) of the social, economic and environmental blocks of the model of sustainable development of the territorial community. These results should be further used for the formation and selection of goals and objectives of the strategy of sustainable development of territorial communities in the region.
