Predication of the post mining land use based on random forest and DBSCAN.

Mine reclamation is one of the most important stages of the mining activities in line with the basic principles of sustainable development. In this study, different post-mining land uses are evaluated in the Hongliulin mining area, which is located in Shen mu country of China. 145 soil samples were collected in the May,2021 by using the soil auger, and the sampling depths were 0-20 cm. The sampling points contains 45 to be reclaimed samples and 100 existing classification land use types. 14 environmental factors including soil organic matter (SOM), total nitrogen (TN), available phosphate (AP), available potassium (AK), K, Slope steepness, curvatures, aspect, length, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), NDVI and elevation were extracted and calculated based on laboratory test and digital elevation map. The random forest classier showed a great prediction capability, with only 1 miss-classified sample in the validation data-set, the accuracy of the classification model was 95%. The content of TN of C1 is 5 times more than C2 and 4 times more than C3. Also, the K value of C1 column is maximum and over 0.4, which means the soil particle is relatively smaller and the soil texture of it is sandy loam. In terms of the 45 to be reclaimed samples, 15 samples were classified into C1, 23 samples were classified into C2, 5 samples were classified into C3, 2 samples were classified into C4. The value of K and content of soil nutrients of the samples classified to be C1 column(C1-C) is maximum. The soybean and murphy were suggested based on the soil nutrients index and with the mining disturbance on cluster 2 of C1, the ground subsidence filling as well as soil nutrients increased strategy should be applied. The result may contribute to the land use planning and idle land utilization strategy.

Assessment of the state of fixed assets of enterprises and organizations in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation as a factor determining its sustainable development

The analysis of the state of fixed assets is important for determining the production capabilities of the organization and strategic prospects of its development. The value of fixed assets determines the production capacity of the company, timely renewal of fixed assets increases their productivity and operational efficiency, while reducing the probability of losses caused by equipment failure as a result of systemic depreciation. Decrease in the rate of fixed assets reproduction leads to decline in production capacity and productivity level, increase in repair costs, decrease in the quality and competitiveness of products, reduction of income. The condition and degree of efficiency of fixed assets use affect the final results of economic activity of organizations of all forms of ownership and organizational and legal forms. The aim of this study is to assess the condition of fixed assets of enterprises and organizations in the territories of the regions included in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, since it is their availability and quality that is the basis for sustainable development and determines the available economic and production potential. Economic and statistical and comparative analysis were chosen as research methods. According to the results of the analysis, it was found out that the state of fixed assets in the Russian Federation as a whole is deteriorating, the measures taken to stimulate entrepreneurs to modernize production facilities, although caused some positive changes, but the expected results have not been achieved. The described situation is typical for the whole territory of the country, but it is especially relevant for the Arctic zone, where the realization of large-scale production and infrastructure projects is planned in the near future. To solve this problem will require joint efforts and interest in the result not only from the state, but also from business.

The article aims to analyze the progressive worldwide experience in the architectural design of medical research buildings and complexes and, on this basis, to formulate the appropriate design principles. Several methods were used for the research: analysis of scientific publications and conference proceedings, search and analysis of the architecture of medical research buildings and complexes, systematization and analysis of general and individual architectural solutions, identification of patterns and features, final analysis and formation of architectural principles for innovative solutions. The article proposes the main design principles recommended for architectural design, especially for medical research. The most important are the following principles: visual innovation, flexibility, openness of the design structure, maximum use of sunlight, and sustainable development.

A Sustainable Approach to Tourism Development in Rural Areas: The Example of Poland

The research presented in this article concerns the issue of rural tourism, which is associated with significant economic and landscape changes in the countryside. It is important that tourist development in these areas be subject to the principles of sustainable development, which are important for the preservation of the environment in which tourism operates. The research topic is related to two of the most salient features of rural tourism today, environmental sustainability and pro-environmental behavior, which are considered the right ways to achieve sustainability goals. The main research aim presented is to indicate which of the postulates of sustainable development are being implemented and how concerning the functioning and development of rural tourism is on the Polish tourism market. Another goal is to indicate what types of resources in the rural environment are the basis for the preparation of a tourist product; for whom and how these resources are to be used; as well as the participation of the local community in the management of the resources that constitute its own environment, one of the basic principles of sustainable development. The primary method used was a document analysis and an analysis of selected websites presenting rural environmental resources used in this form of tourism. The research identified that sustainable approaches to tourism development in rural areas in Poland are appropriate with respect to the resources available there and to both natural and cultural values. For resources used in a rural environment, emphasis is placed on the protection of both elements. It has been identified that one idea for their protection is sustainable sharing, which assumes rational use to an extent that would not affect the nature of the assets but at the same time could benefit the local community. Both values are used in different ways but, in addition to their purely recreational value, their educational value is equally important each time.

The Amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation concerning the Ideals of our Ancestors and Faith in God as the Basis for Sustainable Development of Russia

The paper, based on the analysis of research works of famous modern and pre-revolutionary constitutional scholars, philosophers, as well as the provisions of the Constitution of Russia, current legislation and law enforcement practice, shows the problems of sustainable development of Russia arising from the excessive reliance of mankind on environment and the global intensification of socio-economic development. The author determines new prospects for their resolution implementing the provisions of the Amendment included in the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020 and devoted to the ideals of our ancestors and faith in God as the basis of sustainable development, which are based on spiritual and moral values tested in practice by our ancestors during many centuries of the national statehood. Special attention is paid to the examination of the interaction and interrelation between the norms of religion, morality and law in creating a qualitative basis for sustainable development through the unity and social solidarity of the man, state institutions and civil society in ensuring the continuity of the statehood of Russia.

BUSINESS CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY OF UKRAINE

The development of corporate social responsibility has been transformed in the context of the war in Ukraine by reorienting sustainability programmes and charitable assistance to the needs of the army, environmental activities and support for socially vulnerable groups of the population. The purpose of the article is to summarize theoretical provisions and develop tools for transforming corporate social responsibility of enterprises with consideration of human values and digitalization processes for the recovery of Ukraine's economy in the wartime and post-war period. The research is based on the unity of macro- and micro-economic approaches to the study of corporate social responsibility using structural and logical methods, methods of systemic and socio-economic analysis. The results of the study are to form a theoretical basis and applied tools for corporate social responsibility of business in accordance with the identified empirical facts and external conditions of the changing economic environment in the evolutionary progress. The transformation of corporate social responsibility involves the introduction of material and social support for the company's personnel and internally displaced persons; provision of medical, social, psychological, legal and security support to socially vulnerable groups; formation of corporate volunteering; and participation in the elimination of the negative environmental consequences of military operations. The practical implementation of the modernised corporate social responsibility programmes involves aligning the company's business strategy with the recovery of Ukraine's economy on the basis of sustainable development. An effective tool for implementing the corporate social responsibility policy should be the digitalisation of interaction between the management of enterprises and customers, suppliers, the public, NGOs and local hromadas. The development of new tools and mechanisms of corporate social responsibility will ensure the implementation of universal, humane, European values in the management of enterprises, improvement of social support for employees, customers, and stakeholders, and the spread of socio-economic and environmental effects on society.

Greenwashing: a legal mechanism to counteract

The UN Sustainable Development Goals until 2030 are aimed at solving global problems, including poverty and hunger, disease, unsanitary conditions, environmental pollution, consumer attitudes towards natural resources. Their solution is seen in the sustainable development of mankind. The basis of sustainable development is the responsible consumption of all sides of the greening process: states, business structures, society. The environmental agenda for the 21st century forms the trend of corporate governance based on the principles of ESG. However, a certain part of manufacturers, under the guise of a “green” mission, produce products that do not meet environmental requirements. In recent years, more and more people talk about greenwashing. Despite the fact that states are taking certain measures to counter greenwashing, its share is only increasing. The problem of greenwashing is multifaceted and includes unfair competition, violation of consumer rights, discredit of corporate social responsibility, restriction of intellectual property, underdevelopment of the market for environmentally friendly and organic products. If in foreign countries the problem of greenwashing has been discussed for several decades, in the Russian Federation attention has been paid to this problem only in recent years. The imperfection of legal regulation contributes to the development of greenwashing. The purpose of this article is to analyze the legislative requirements for manufactured products (using the example of agricultural and food products) and the processes of their production, processing, storage and sale, measures to counter greenwashing, identify legal gaps and formulate possible legislative proposals aimed at solving greenwashing problems. The experience of combating greenwashing in the countries — Russia’s strategic partners has been studied. Proposals have been formulated to improve the legal mechanism for counteracting greenwashing.

Practical Aspects of the Energy Efficiency Evaluation of a Water Distribution Network Using Hydrodynamic Modeling—A Case Study

Water and energy are the main natural resources, and their rational use is the basis for sustainable development. Therefore, the energy efficiency of water supply networks is one of the priorities for the management system of water utilities. Many methods and indicators can be used to assess the energy efficiency of water distribution networks (WDNs), and their choice should be adapted to the characteristics of a WDN. This paper presents an energy audit of WDNs that are supplied from five reservoirs located above the supply area, to which water is supplied from four underground and surface water intakes. In the analysis of the system operation, a hydrodynamic computer model of the water distribution network was used to estimate the operating parameters that are necessary to determine the energy efficiency indicators. A new method for calibrating the emitter coefficient used for water loss modeling is also proposed. The conducted audit showed that more than 70% of the energy supplied to the WDS was “lost”, mainly due to friction (37%) and water losses (27%). Thanks to hydraulic modeling, it was possible to indicate that 34% of the energy lost in the system was related to the use of pressure-reducing valves (PRV), and that only 3% was directly related to friction. In turn, the majority of leaks are attributed to service connections (17.4% vs. 8.8% in the water distribution network).

COMPLEX SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF INNOVATIVE DECISIONS IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Complex systems for substantiation of innovative ecological solutions to reduce man-made impact on the environment were studied. Ways to increase environmental safety on the basis of sustainable development through a well-founded complex selection of innovative solutions are proposed. Ways to increase environmental safety on the basis of sustainable development through a well-founded complex selection of innovative solutions are proposed. Based on the method of analysis of hierarchies (MAI), a methodical approach for determining the priority innovative ecological solutions. The developed approach makes it possible to involve experts in environmental, urban planning, social, and economic direction of municipal management bodies of a specific settlement, industrial, residential, and military facilities. According to the developed approach, criteria formulated as influencing groups of factors. Relevant experts, relying on various types of information on the specific purpose and innovative ecological solutions, give their own judgments regarding the priority of the advantages of the specified criteria. Expert judgments are processed according to the formal procedure of the MAI, which is implemented on a computer, and is the basis for decision-making when choosing the innovative ecological solutions in specific conditions. The criteria hierarchical structure of innovative ecological solutions is represented by a sequence of actions that include the following stages: development of elements of a methodical approach; verification of the consistency of the proposed hierarchical structure for determining priority technologies based on the input data of several objects of settlements; obtaining data on the priority of innovative ecological solutions for implementation on these objects. The advantages of the proposed methodical approach should include the possibility to link to a single algorithm for the justification of the required decision data that differ both in their content and in the form of presentation. Implementation of complex support systems for making innovative decisions in nature protection activities will increase the complexity and effectiveness of decisions to ensure environmental safety. Keywords: environmental safety, system analysis, innovative solutions, tools and technologies of environmental protection, systems and means of information processing, environmental quality, sustainable development.
