Analysis of Evolving Carbon Stock Trends and Influencing Factors in Chongqing under Future Scenarios

The relationship between land use changes and regional carbon storage is closely linked. Identifying evolving trends concerning and influencing factors on carbon storage under future scenarios is key in order to achieve the “dual carbon” goals. Using Chongqing as a case study, this study integrated the advantages of the PLUS model, InVEST model, and a geographic detector model. It conducted simulations of land use type data under scenarios of natural development (ND) and ecological protection (EP), and identified evolving trends and influencing factors regarding carbon storage. The results were as follows: (1) the PLUS model demonstrated excellent simulation performance, with a Kappa coefficient above 0.85 and an overall accuracy above 0.90. During the study period, significant changes occurred for cultivated land, forested land, water bodies, and construction, which were closely related to carbon storage; (2) carbon storage in Chongqing showed a decreasing trend, with a decrease of 10.07 × 106 t C from 2000 to 2020. Under the ND scenario, carbon storage was projected to decrease by 10.54 × 106 t C in 2030 compared to 2020, and it was expected to stabilize from 2030 to 2050. At the county level, Youyang, Fengjie, and Wuxi had the highest carbon storage, while Nanchuan, Jiangbei, and Dadukou had the lowest; (3) the spatial distribution of carbon storage presented an “eastern hotspot western cold spot aggregation” pattern. The proportions of regions with a decreased, unchanged, and increased aggregation of carbon storage in Chongqing during 2000–2010 and 2010–2020 were 2.99%, 95.95%, 1.06%; and 4.39%, 92.40%, 3.21%, respectively. The trend indicated a decrease in the aggregation of carbon storage, and future carbon storage was expected to stabilize; (4) elevation, terrain fluctuation, NDVI, annual average temperature, annual average precipitation, and nighttime light index had influence values of 0.88, 0.81, 0.61, 0.86, 0.77, and 0.81 on carbon storage, respectively, with different combinations of influencing factors having a greater impact. In the future, ecological priority and green development concepts should be followed, and comprehensive improvement of regional development conditions should be pursued to enhance carbon storage, thereby promoting the achievement of the “dual carbon” goals. This study provided an analytical path and data support for formulating optimized carbon storage policies at the regional level.

Sedimentation conditions and clast transport during the formation of sedimentary paleobasins in the north of Irkutsk Oblast and river network formation

Background. Changes in the composition of clastic material reflect changes in both the paleogeographic environment and clast transport paths. In turn, this indicates changes in the conditions of regional development. The research relevance is determined by multidirectionality of Earth sciences, such as paleogeography, neotectonics, stratigraphy, hydrology, relief formation, etc.Aim. To establish the genesis of river valleys and bench complexes in the northern areas of the Irkutsk Oblast.Materials and methods. The clastic material of the Upper Paleozoic-Mesozoic sedimentary deposits in the northern areas of the Irkutsk Oblast was studied. The work is aimed at reconstructing the contours of sedimentary paleobasins of the Carboniferous, Permian, and Jurassic ages and the conditions of sedimentary strata formation. The results of site investigation and drilling works carried out in the 1960s and 1970s were interpreted from the standpoint of modern information.Results. The nature of river network formation and clast transport processes was determined. The direction and sources of clast transport were identified, along with the conditions of re-deposition of clastic material at different stages of the geological development of the area under study.Conclusions. The modern river network in the northern areas of the Irkutsk Oblast is based on the valleys formed under the action of catastrophic glacial water discharge flows.

CURRENT DIRECTIONS OF FORMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF LAND USE MONITORING OF UNITED TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES

The relevance of the formation and implementation of land use monitoring of united territorial communities has been proven. The purpose of the research is the formation of modern trends in the development and implementation of land use monitoring of united territorial communities. The tasks are solved in the work: improvement of theoretical provisions regarding the definition of land use monitoring; characteristics of typological principles regarding the definition of monitoring; development of an integrated approach to assessing the level of land use; development of geo-information support for monitoring. Monitoring of land use of united territorial communities is a system consisting of spatial, urban planning, ecological and socio-economic support, determined on the basis of evaluation procedures by applying analytical, expert methods, mathematical modeling, tools of geoinformation systems. The typological principles of determining land use factors on the basis of spatial, urban planning, socio-economic and environmental support are characterized, which allow to carry out an integral assessment of the level of development and use of monitoring procedures. The proposed geo-information monitoring support is defined as the resulting element of the formation and implementation of monitoring for increasing the efficiency of land use in the context of creating conditions for regional development. The method of integral assessment is proposed as the main element of the technology of formation and implementation of monitoring, based on analytical and expert methods, which made it possible to form a systematic monitoring environment at the regional level. The application of this method provides opportunities for mathematical modeling of the influence of factors and the construction of geo-information support for this process. Keywords: monitoring, united territorial communities, monitoring GIS map.

Digital Inclusive Finance and Regional Innovation Output

This paper systematically sorts out the internal mechanism of the development of digital inclusive finance affecting regional innovation output, and uses the panel data of 31 provinces in mainland China from 2011 to 2020. From the provincial level, the individual fixed effect model and channel test are used to test the promotion effect of digital inclusive finance on the improvement of regional innovation output. The study found that the development of digital inclusive finance, its coverage, depth and degree of digitalization help to improve regional innovation capacity. The empirical results show that the development of digital inclusive finance is conducive to alleviating financing constraints and directly promoting regional innovation output; The analysis of intermediary mechanism shows that digital inclusive finance can increase external demand by promoting industrial upgrading, and then indirectly promote regional innovation output. This provides policy inspiration for relevant government departments to evaluate regional development conditions, expand the scope of financial services, and improve regional innovation systems and mechanisms.

СОЦІАЛЬНО-ЕКОНОМІЧНА ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ РОЗВИТКУ ГРОМАД І РЕГІОНІВ: ПОБУДОВА СИСТЕМИ ПОКАЗНИКІВ В УМОВАХ ПОВОЄННОГО ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ

The article proposes a methodical approach to building a set of indicators to assess the socio-economic effectiveness of community and regional development in conditions of post-war reconstruction. It is noted that prior to the beginning of a full-scale aggression, normative and legal content in the regulation area of regional and territorial development contained only fragmented instructions on application of the principle of efficiency, which was observed before reaching high levels of planned development indicators. It is stated that the updated policy of state regional development in 2022 has standardized the approach to the determination of effectiveness as the main determinants and primary indicator of development success in peaceful conditions and during the post-war reconstruction.It is justified that during the transition period the official methodical basis for determining the essence and approaches to assessing the effectiveness of social and economic development of communities and regions is still being formed, as well as losing relevance of complex evaluation of development effectiveness due to lack of statistical information and violation of consistency and consistency of its indicators in the conditions of war, it is necessary to form an easy and reliable tool for such evaluation. The basic principles of its construction in the form of a set of indicators determine maximum conformity of the current normative-legal and methodical base, correct understanding of the essence of socio-economic efficiency, as an indicator of satisfaction of material, social, spiritual needs of people, as well as use of integral indicators of quality of life and social quality as basic for determination of socio-economic efficiency. The author developed a corresponding methodical approach and a related set of indicators for assessing socio-economic effectiveness of community and regional development, which includes separate evaluation components for communities and regions. It is well-grounded that its application will improve the quality of community and regional development planning and will be useful in monitoring the implementation of their development strategies and plans, overcoming the problems of information and analytical support during the period of military condition. The proposed methodical approach can also serve as a basis for the development of the official methodical base, which is envisaged by the policy of regions` renewal, regarding the evaluation of their development effectiveness.

Heterogeneous two-sided effects of different types of environmental regulations on carbon productivity in China

In the context of globalization, the importance of enhancing carbon productivity is becoming increasingly evident. The study is a continuation of previous studies on the relationship between environmental regulations and carbon productivity. Based on a dataset of 30 provinces in China from 2006 to 2018, the paper decomposes the two-sided effects of command-and-control and market-based environmental regulations on carbon productivity. First, empirical research shows that the average positive effect of command-and-control environmental regulation on carbon productivity is 0.0158, which is much less than the average of negative effect of 0.0697, highlighting mainly the negative effect on carbon productivity. Conversely, the positive effect of market-based environmental regulation on carbon productivity is 0.0691, much greater than the negative effect of 0.0038, which highlights the obvious positive impact characteristics. Overall, the net effect of command-and-control environmental regulation on carbon productivity is −0.0541, and net effect of market-based environmental regulation on carbon productivity is 0.0653. Second, the negative impact of command-and-control environmental regulations on carbon productivity underwent a “back-to-N” change process in 2006–2018, while the driving effect of market-based environmental regulation on carbon productivity increased continuously during the 2006–2018 period. Third, most of the regions with high negative effects of command-and-control environmental regulation on carbon productivity tend to be resource-intensive and carbon-intensive, while the positive effects of market-based environmental regulation on carbon productivity have no obvious geographical agglomeration characteristics. Fourth, the continuous improvement of regional development conditions is clearly conducive to the continuous reduction of the negative effects of command-and-control environmental regulation on carbon productivity, while the higher positive effects of market-based environmental regulation on carbon productivity at this stage need to meet different regional condition intervals.

Integrated Transport System in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: Aspect Policy

Abstract The application of an intermodal transportation integration system will make it easier for people to carry out activities, guarantee travel travel time, and optimize the use of public transportation, and have an impact on reducing the use of private vehicles which can affect road performance. The policy for implementing the transportation integration system needs to be considered in order to accommodate travel activities by following regional development conditions. This study aims to determine the management integration and the constraints in implementing the transportation integration system. This study uses a qualitative method by taking into account the aspects of the policy which involve elements of regulators, operators and consumers. This research shows that the regulator is able to carry out the management of the transportation integration system through the implementation of government affairs in the transportation sector, however, there are obstacles in the form of regulatory linkages, coordination and limited authority. So it is necessary to optimize the role of regulators to be able to coordinate intensely with public transport operators in order to realize an integrated transportation system management that can meet the travel needs of the community.

Impact Mechanism of the Urban Network on Carbon Emissions in Rapidly Developing Regions: Example of 47 Cities in Southwest China

Southwest China faces harsh environmental pollution challenges and rapid development. Against this backdrop, exploring the impact mechanism of the urban network on carbon emissions in rapidly developing regions is of great significance to the balance between regional development and carbon emissions reduction, as well as regional sustainable development. The objective of this study is to quantify the relationship between carbon emissions and the urban network, using panel data analysis for 47 cities in southwest China from 2010 to 2019. Therefore, several urban network indices were selected and quantitatively studied by using the spatial Durbin model to reveal the impact mechanism of the urban network on carbon emissions in rapidly developing regions. The results show that: (1) the growth of carbon emissions in a city has a significant positive spatial spillover effect on the surrounding areas; (2) the temporal and spatial distribution of carbon emissions is highly coincident with the urban network; (3) the urban network has a two-sided impact mechanism of promoting and inhibiting carbon emissions; and (4) the effect of the impact mechanism is affected by regional development conditions, and the promotion effect plays the main role in rapidly developing regions.

Research on the Construction of Long-term Mechanism of Relative Poverty Governance in Anhui Province

Regional poverty has always been an important problem perplexing the development of human society. The comprehensive analysis of relative poverty is conducive to the further implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy. Based on the analysis of the new characteristics of the relative poverty governance stage in Anhui Province, this paper reflects the relative poverty degree of Anhui Province by measuring the level of economic development. The results show that the counties with high relative poverty degree are mainly distributed in most areas of Northern Anhui, and there are a few areas with potential poverty risk within the region. The counties with low relative poverty degree are mainly distributed in central and southern Anhui. On the basis of combing the practical problems of relative poverty in Anhui Province at the present stage, combined with the actual conditions of regional development, this paper puts forward the construction idea of long-term mechanism for relative poverty governance in Anhui Province, so as to provide reference for gradually realizing regional coordinated development.

Land Reclamation Tourism Resources in China: Connotation, Classification, and Evaluation

Distinctive characteristics of land reclamation have formed strong attractions, which inspired people’s curiosity and tourist motives. As a unique and essential resource of tourism activities, land reclamation with its highly patriotic spirit and eclectic heritages presents tremendous value in the Chinese tourism industry. However, there is no comprehensive evaluation system of land reclamation tourism (LRT). To solve this research problem, in this study, we delimit the connotation of land reclamation and propose the classification and resources evaluation system of LRT based on the combination of resource characteristics and tourism mode. The classification, balancing the concerns of unit tourist resources, and comprehensively integrated resources while highlighting the principles of universality and practicality, can be classified into two main types, 10 sub-types, and 46 base types. On this basis, the tourism resource evaluation indicator system of land reclamation resources has been built from the aspects of the value of land reclamation culture and tourism resources, natural and social environment, regional development conditions by the methods of Delphi, and analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The empirical research results of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) provide us with a specific weight distribution prospect of the classification and evaluation system. The conclusions proposed a new way and method to evaluate LRT resources and provided a necessary reference basis for LRT development.

The spatial diversity of socio-economic development in Ukraine

Purpose: The processes of socio-economic development always take place in a specific space and are not uniform. The modern conditions of regional development vary a lot with regard to the socio-economic development of the particular territorial entities. This is also true for Ukraine, the subject of this study and a current candidate for the European Union. This paper will assess the diversity of socio-economic development of the Ukrainian regions in 2020 and rank these entities according to the level of their development. Methodology: Z. Hellwig’s method of development pattern, which helps to order the regions in terms of their development, is applied to the evaluation of socio-economic development of the Ukrainian entities. The indicators adopted are systematised by the following areas: Demographics and job market, Structure of regional economies, Innovation, research and development activities, Technical infrastructure, Social infrastructure, and Condition and protection of the natural environment. Findings: The analysis helps to identify the levels of socio-economic development of Ukrainian regions and the region groups of the highest, high, low, and very low standards of development. The results suggest a great diversity of socio-economic development of these regions. Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kharkiv experience the maximum, while Donetsk and Luhansk the minimum levels of development. Research limitations/implications: The data published by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine for 2020 are used, excluding those for the temporarily occupied area of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the city of Sevastopol, and parts of the temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Further comparative research should estimate the effects of the changes on socio-economic development following the end of the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine. Continuing studies may also identify factors with a decisive impact on the regions’ attribution to the particular groupings. Social implications: The evaluation of the regional development levels may provide foundations for some strategies of socio-economic development, an explication of causes of regional variations, and a determination of potential for and ways of levelling down the existing inequalities. The diversity of development of the individual Ukrainian regions is important to its status of a candidate to the EU, granted on 23 June 2022. In connection with a closer cooperation between Ukraine and the EU, the results can provide knowledge about where to channel the EU funding aimed at the socio-economic development of the particular regions. Originality/value: The determination of the diversity of socio-economic development and positioning of the Ukrainian regions in this respect. The study can also be seen as a contribution to the existing research and serve the purpose of comparative analysis. Keywords: region; regional development; regional diversity; socio-economic development of regions; Hellwig’s method. Category of the paper: research paper.

A tale of sky and desert: Translation and imaginaries in transnational windows of institutional opportunity

Institutional change in regional economies is affected by multiscalar developments such as alignment with the EU and its markets. In countries in the EU’s Eastern and Southern neighborhood, processes of alignment and mutual market liberalization shape the supranational conditions for regional development but do so in variegated ways. Policy alignment consists of changes in the supranational institutional context that are translated into diverse changes in the regional institutional context. Building on literature on institutional entrepreneurship, cultural political economy, and actor-network theory, the paper argues that EU alignment opens a transnational window of institutional opportunity for agents to shape regional development through the translation of institutional change both between different spatial scales and between different components of institutional contexts. In this contested process, institutional entrepreneurs draw on imaginaries, narratives, and visions, and actively shape them. The empirical case of tourism in Israel's Southern Negev illustrates the impact of the country's integration into the EU’s external aviation policy on the tourism sector as well as the strategies of institutional entrepreneurs to use this transnational window of institutional opportunity to promote diverse patterns of institutional change based on multiple imaginaries.

SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES OF INDUSTRIALIZATION AND EFFICIENT USE OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES, ON THE EXAMPLE OF PODILSK DISTRICT (RAION) OF ODESSA REGION

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF THE REGIONS OF UKRAINE

A feature that characterizes modern conditions of development is a clear diversification of economic potential of individual regions. Analysis of the level of economic development of the regions of Ukraine shows significant differences between them. Regional tensions, exacerbation of spatial problems, exacerbated by the instability of market transformations in various fields of activity, cause inconsistencies and differences in the scale and stages of transformation processes, significant regional differentiation of socio-economic development. The nature of economic development, which has a significant territorial differentiation, is reflected and causes social inequality, which is manifested in social relations to meet the living needs of people, creating normal living conditions. Of particular importance are the regional aspects of the strategy of socio-economic growth of the state. In this context, the issues of economic development of oblasts based on structural changes of sectoral, spatial and functional systems, restoration and strengthening of effective cooperation between oblasts, reduction of interregional disparities, rational use of economic potential of each region are especially relevant. For this reason, this study, based on theoretical considerations on the conditions of regional development, presents the results and conclusions of studies conducted among the regions of Ukraine, aimed at determining their economic potential and the causes of disparities in this area.

Assessment of Professional Competencies: A Regional Model

The article deals with the problem of assessing the professional competencies of personnel. A theoretical model is proposed, which is based on the assessment of subjective conditions of professional deficits and its empirical verification. As a result of the factor analysis of the data obtained during the survey of 3375 teaching staff in 61 municipalities of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the structure and content of the model were clarified. The analysis of professional deficits revealed the gender and age specifics of the model in the conditions of regional development. It is proposed to consider value orientations, the use of online communications, professional well-being, attitude to the profession, grounds for professional choice, motivation for professional development, involvement in the educational process and organization of work with professional deficits in the organization as the subject of assessment of professional deficits of teaching staff in the refined model. The study was carried out within the framework of the project «Comprehensive study of professional deficits of teachers of the Krasnoyarsk Territory», with the support of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Foundation for the Support of Scientific and Scientific-Technical Activities. The obtained results contribute to the development of tools for assessing professional competencies, make it possible to become the basis for the development of professional development programs and the work of professional development centers

Improvement of Activities of Strategizing of Social and Economic Development in a Region by Means of Strengthening the Interconnection between Forecasting and Strategic Planning

The importance of strategic management of the socio-economic development of regions in conditions of uncertainty is becoming increasingly important. The aim of this article is to identify the main problems in organizing activities of strategizing and forecasting of social and economic development of a region. The research conducted using the systemic mental and action approach showed that comprehensive strategic planning at the regional level is impossible without normative forecasting and environmental analysis, which state government bodies of the territorial entities of the Russian Federation do not pay sufficient attention to. Such stages of strategizing as forecasting and strategic planning play a major role in the process of strategizing. The article clarifies the concept of strategic management (strategizing) in relation to the socio-economic development of regions. It was found out that the shortcomings of the methodological tools and low level qualification of experts lead to a low quality of the developed forecast documents and management decisions. Suggestions have been deve­loped to support the forecasting of the socio-economic development of the region through the use of qualitative forecasting methods. The proposals include criteria for the selection of experts for the development of forecasts, as well as a conceptual distributed scheme for collecting expert opinions on the prospects for changing various aspects and directions of the socio-economic development of the region.

The Long-term Effect of Industrial Investment：Evidence from the Anti-Japanese War

Developing economy to get rid of poverty is the common goal of all low-income countries. For many developing countries, small-scale markets and inadequate incentives for private investment are key reasons for economic stagnation. Therefore, these governments often invest directly in the industrial sectors of specific regions or industries, expecting that such industrial policies can promote industrialization and accelerate economic growth. Considering the scope economic characteristics of the industrial sector, the industrial policy of governmental direct investment can make the economy jump from low-level equilibrium to high-level equilibrium. In practice, the policy effect also depends on a series of constraints faced by a country, and these constraints are endogenous to the past economic structure, which means that quantitative research based on the historical perspective is of great significance. It helps to identify the key elements for development and provides empirical support for policy implications.The difficulty in identifying the long-term effect of industrial policies is that the areas of industrial investment are not randomly selected. In order to achieve causal inference, this paper exploits the long-term effect of the quasi-natural experiment of Anti-Japanese War on the economic development of the rear area. By sorting out historical data files, the county-level industrial database of ten provinces during the Anti-Japanese War is constructed, and the data are matched with the contemporary economic and social development data in the same geographical space. Then, using the regression model, the long-term performance of industrial investment in history is estimated. The main findings are as follows: First, the more the number of industrial enterprises in the county from 1942 to 1945, the higher the level of economic development in the new China period, but the effect is gradually weakening with time. Second, the industrial investment in the rear area of modern times has a positive effect on the long-term economic development through path dependence and initial material capital accumulation. In history, the higher the industrial investment, the higher the degree of industrialization, but there is no significant difference in the production efficiency of industrial enterprises. Third, historically, areas with more industrial investment can attract more people to move in and have a higher urbanization rate, but this historical basis does not significantly affect rural related variables, such as infant mortality rate and net income of rural residents.The long-term research based on historical events provides a new perspective for the formulation of industrial policies. The case of Anti-Japanese War shows that industrial investment against comparative advantage will cause efficiency loss in the short term, but may bring a positive effect in the long term. This raises a new intertemporal trade-off problem for policymakers about the present and the future, whose subjective time discount rate is the key to solving the problem. In addition, the quantitative history study also reminds us that one should fully recognize the initial conditions of regional development before policy implementation, which means that one can neither copy the experience of other countries nor simply reverse what policies are needed from development goals. Instead, one should be more aware of what policies are really feasible under current constraints.

Prospects for the spatial development of regions based on the principles of passportization of tourist and recreational destinations

From the point of view of a systematic approach, the issues of organizing tourist and recreational space determine the directions of the functioning of the region and the mechanisms of participation of state, regional and municipal structures today. The author considers the tourist and recreational space as an object of regional policy of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the article. The basic element of the tourist and recreational spatial system is proposed to consider a tourist and recreational destination that attracts tourists. In the methodological aspect, the principles of passportization of tourist and recreational destinations serve as the basis for a single digital platform for the development of tourism throughout the country. In the era of digitalization and modern conditions of regional development, a tourist and recreational is relevant from the point of view of management principles. It will also allow systematizing data on the state of tourist and recreational resources of the territory and the natural and anthropogenic factors affecting them, which has the prospect of establishing statistical accounting at the municipal level and the possibility of systematic monitoring of indicators of tourism performance.

НАФТОГАЗОВА ГАЛУЗЬ УКРАЇНИ ЯК ЧИННИК РЕГІОНАЛЬНОГО РОЗВИТКУ

The present paper considers the functioning of the oil and gas industry of Ukraine in relation to the formation of prerequisites for sustainable regional development and identifies the impact of oil and gas industry development on the economy of the regions. The article identifies the factors that outline the prospects for the development of the industry. In analyzing the importance of the oil and gas industry for regional development, special emphasis is put on ensuring the economic security of the region. The impact of carbohydrate production on the economy of the regions is significant. In the regions where there are prerequisites for oil and gas production, the oil and gas industry forms a significant part of the social and economic conditions of regional development. By creating jobs, providing revenues to local budgets, oil and gas companies become strategically important not only to ensure the energy security of the state, but also largely determine the strategic directions of development of certain regions. The analysis of the development of the industry in terms of regions allowed to determine the criteria by which it is proposed to assess the impact of the industry on regional development and the formation of regional economic policy. Factors of regional development, which can have a significant impact on the development of the industry, are job creation, investment in the regions, inflows into local budgets, increasing innovation potential, increasing production of enterprises that provide infrastructure to the industry. The oil and gas industry is characterized by a significant degree of centralization of management, which requires constant coordination of regional interests with the governing structures of the industry. Significant influence on regional development is actively exercised by investment projects of the state company "Naftogaz of Ukraine", the implementation of which is taking place or planned in the near future. The presence of a certain resource potential for the development of the industry in some regions raises the urgency of harmonizing the strategic objectives of the industry with the establishment of effective mechanisms for sustainable regional development and regional economic policy that takes into account the prospects of carbohydrate production in Ukraine.
