Dynamic and structural characteristics of responsible investment strategies: regional focus

The most significant and actively studied model of investment in recent years is the model of responsible investment. The study was based on data from the Global Alliance for Sustainable Investment for 2012–2018. These data were structured by regions of the largest distribution of responsible investment in the world and taking into account the most well-known investment strategies: screening (exclusion), ESG integration, corporate involvement and stakeholder engagement, norm-based screening, positive screening (best-in-class), sustainable thematic investment, impact investment (impact / community investment). It is proposed to conduct a study of the spread of responsible investing, taking into account its dynamic and structural characteristics. This approach makes it possible to assess the impact of a particular region of responsible investment on the global development of this phenomenon. It is established that the world responsible investment market shows significant growth rates, which are differentiated by regional species. The most dynamically growing region is Japan, as opposed to the traditional leaders – Europe and the United States. Negative screening and normative screening strategies are mostly specific to the European region, the latter being generally specific to the European region. ESG strategies – integration, sustainable thematic investments, and impact investments predominate in the USA. Defining the directions of regional development and key strategies by regions creates a basis for understanding the directions of development of responsible investing in the world and the implementation of world experience in Ukraine.

Correlation Analysis of Urban Development and Land Surface Temperature Using Google Earth Engine in Sleman Regency, Indonesia

The development of urban areas in Sleman Regency occurs continuously along with an increase in population, encourages changes in any kind of land cover to be built-up area to meet the needs of citizen housing. The objectives of this study were to analyse changes in land cover and its correlation with Land Surface Temperature (LST) and to determine the direction of regional development that occurs in Sleman Regency. The methods used in this research were multispatio-temporal data analysis that contained spectral transformations and supervised classification of Maximum Likelihood on Google Earth Engine, statistical analysis of Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS imagery from 2014 to 2019, and accuracy assessments to determine the accuracy of the results. The results showed there were the increase in built-up area by 1713.374 ha from 2014 to 2019 and supported by the increase in population density of 2038 inhabitants/km2. There was an increase in LST in the converted areas from 2014 to 2019 with an estimated increase of 2.73°C. The distribution of built-up area that indicated as the direction of urban area development has a tendency to head north and northeast of Sleman regency, such as to Ngemplak sub-district, Kalasan sub-district, and Berbah sub-district. The correlation between building density and LST showed the correlation coefficient of 0.61 which was considered as a strong correlation and the determination coefficient of 0.38 also regarded as significant, based on the t-Test. The accuracy assessment was done on the land cover map, generating the overall accuracy of 88.42%.

ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATION MODEL IN REGIONAL GOVERNMENT OF SIDOARJO DISTRICT IN MAKING LOCAL REGOLATION

The main key to the implementation of Regional Government (Pemda) in the making of local regulations (Perda) is the well-established organizational communication among the management of the management, so that it can equalize perceptions to support and accelerate development programs in the region. With harmonious organizational communication can be avoided slow process, long-winded, so that it is not efficient which results in the direction of regional development to be inconsistent (Sadu Wasistiono, 2010: 42). For this reason, local government managers should have a partnership and equal relationship. This partnership relationship is important in the process of making a Perda.
 This study uses a qualitative approach that is focused on identifying the dominant factors that can facilitate the communication of local government organizations in the process of making Perda. Data collection techniques use purposive methods and domain analysis. Thus, this research is expected to be studied in a normative, sociological manner that is comprehensive and holistic. This study resulted in the finding of 4 (four) dominant factors in organizational communication in the Sidoarjo Regency Government which became a catalyst in the implementation of local democracy, namely facilities, budget support, staff competence, and good relations with mass media. Through classifying the flow of communication based on the domain that has been established, the research team can finally build a communication model of the Sidoarjo Regency Government organization in the process of making the Perda.

Exploring resources and environmental carrying capacities at the county level: A case study of China’s Fengxian County

The data regarding resources and environmental carrying capacities (RECC) are not only the basis for realizing regional sustainable development, but also the core links for major function-oriented zoning practices, which include specific partitioning schemes of spatial units with various geographical functions. Previously, relevant studies were mainly based on the evaluations of single factors. However, the realization of regional function-oriented spatial zoning practices based on comprehensive assessments of RECC has been neglected. This study presented an evaluation index system for RECC based on nine aspects, in accordance with the evaluation elements of the major function-oriented zoning programs which were in place and the characteristics of the study area. Then, by using subjective and objective comprehensive weighting methods, the basic elements were finally integrated, and an accurate spatial distribution pattern of the RECC in China’s Fengxian County was obtained. In addition, based on the construction of a three-dimensional spatial conceptual model, this study was able to finally obtain four specific types of functional partitions in the study areas, and proposed specific development proposals according to the different types of functional zoning from a systemic perspective. It was observed that the RECC had been decreasing from a central built-up area to the surrounding townships, and the spatial distribution patterns were distinctly scattered. In addition, the townships with smaller land scales had more obvious advantages in the RECC. However, fluctuating upward trends were observed after the lowest thresholds had been reached as for the medium or above medium scales. At the same time, in terms of the correlations between the population levels, and gross values and the RECC, fluctuating characteristics were observed. The correlations with the latter had presented S-shape curves and inverted U-shape curves, respectively. Finally, the optimized expansion zone located in the north-central region had taken the greatest percentage among functional zoning classifications, followed by the basic competitive zone in the southwestern section. However, the main construction zone accounted for the smallest proportion, at only 2.065%. Therefore, based on these results, it was concluded that there were certain fluctuating correlations between the RECC and total population levels, economic levels, and land scales. Moreover, the RECC evaluation results were found to gradually decrease after rising to the thresholds under the comprehensive effects of the various factors. This study combined the data of the conceptual model with the RECC evaluation results, in order to obtain a potential geographical functional zoning program for the study area. The results of this study are expected to provide a new analysis perspective for the scientific and sustainable development of small-scale geographic units. Moreover, on the basis of this study’s comprehensive evaluations of the RECC, the directions of regional development can be further clarified.

Economic growth forecasting apparatus in regions with different reproduction structure

Identifying the main factors of economic growth, the study and analysis of the mechanisms of their influence on the development of regions can be considered one of the most pressing problems in modern economic research. The main goal of the research is to build an econometric production model of regional economic growth on the basis of an analysis of existing analytical approaches to assessing regional economic growth. To achieve this goal, a study was conducted to assess the quality of economic growth using multiplicative models of production functions by regions of the Russian Federation, which will allow building a unique function for each region, which describes the economic potential and the future direction of regional development. As a result of the study, it was concluded that it is necessary to adjust the existing and develop new approaches to assessing the dynamics of economic development. An econometric production model of regional economic growth is presented, which is based on production functions.

Indicators of Regional Development Using Differentiation Characteristics

On the example of two directions - production of goods and services and welfare, it is developed a methodology for analyzing the interrelationship between various directions of regional development. The novelty of the results is determined by the fact that the direction indicators are constructed using a common basis formed using the characteristics of regional differentiation obtained from theoretically based models. The index for each direction, constructed in the basis, is maximally correlated with the index formed for the corresponding group of indicators. It is shown that for the considered two directions, the basis ensures higher consistency of the indices and ranks of the regions than the first principal components constructed for each group of the indicators separately. The advantage of the approach is that the indices for different directions based on the basis allow a general interpretation in terms of the differentiation characteristics and allow one to assess the change in the level of socio-economic development of the region when these characteristics change. The presented results confirm the significance of the influence of technical efficiency on the indices of regional development and its significance in the indicator composition for the direction of welfare.

ХОЗЯЙСТВЕННАЯ АГЛОМЕРАЦИЯ КАК УСЛОВИЕ САМОРАЗВИТИЯ ТЕРРИТОРИЙ

<p>One of the current directions of territorial development is the concentration of efforts on competitive regional processes and the shaping of the trajectory of their development. However, not all directions of regional development can be implemented by themselves. The aim of the research is to study the theoretical aspects of agglomeration and the formation of macroregions in a complicated foreign policy situation accompanied by aggravated socioeconomic processes, introduction and expansion of anti-Russian sanctions and other processes destructive for the country’s economy. The main idea of economic agglomeration and macroregions is the development of effective integration processes and synergetic effects, and as a consequence, territorial self-development. The scientific contribution made by the author is that the current study helps to systematize the existing approaches to the concept of agglomeration; the author also shapes an authentic approach to the concept of agglomeration and its construction as well as introduces some methodical aspects of the macroregion formation on the basis of economic agglomeration. The author has developed a conceptual scheme for the creation of a macroregion on the bases of an economic agglomeration that can be applied in the process of regional economic changes. The main conclusions: 1) the main idea of the formation of agglomerations and macroregions is in the development of effective integration processes and synergistic effects; 2) the concept of macroregion does not imply a change in the federal structure, it affects only economic processes; 3) for the construction of a macroregion, it is necessary to study the agglomerate core and the main economic processes that will proved the necessary synergetic effect and launch the process of territorial self-development.</p>

Innovation Development to Increase Local Competitive Advantage in Mojokerto Regency

Becoming more competitive on the local and national levels can be seen as a strategy that will boost economic growth and, in turn, will improve the welfare of the community. Therefore, local government should make it a priority to draw up a grand plan for local development. The roles of resource-based and local potency in planning, therefore, become critical to improve the performance of local development. With accurate planning, the direction of regional development will be more focused. This paper will examine innovation strategy as an effort to increase local competitiveness, especially in Mojokerto Regency. This study utilizes a qualitative research method, where data is extracted from bureaucrats, community leaders, politicians, and academicians. Interactive data analysis methods, which take place continuously through the processes of data collection, data presentation, and conclusion are used to ensure well-considered results. Research indicates that the success of Mojokerto Regency in building local innovation can be attributed to the development of infrastructure and innovation in public services. This two-pronged approach to spearhead local development allowed Mojokerto Regency to increase its economic growth at an impressive rate. The strategies used to encourage the development of innovation at the local level are threefold, beginning with the alignment of regional development strategy to design long, medium, and short term innovation plans. Secondly, innovation is developed based on regional priorities that support economic growth in sectors that will benefit the wider community. Finally, the success of innovation in Mojokerto Regency is dependent on the support and commitment of local political leaders and apparatus resources.

Revisiting the Tourism-Led Economic Growth Hypothesis: The Case of China

This article examines the relationship between the level of tourism specialization (TS) and economic growth using a panel dataset covering 31 provinces in mainland China from 1995 to 2013. A quadratic function was introduced following the basic economic law of returns to overcome the weaknesses of constant returns to scale associated with the tourism-led economic growth hypothesis (TLGH). Using tourist arrivals as a percentage of host population (TA) and tourism receipts as a share of real GDP (TR) as the indicators of TS which represent respectively the level/size and the quality/structure dimension of TS, the system generalized method of moments (SYSGMM) regression results suggest that a meaningful inverted-U- or an N-shaped relationship exists between tourism specialization and economic growth. Based on the portfolio of TA and TR in destinations, the effects and characters of tourism on economic growth are discussed regarding the future direction of regional development.

The directions of regional development of Raska Municipality

The important natural and human resources situated on the territory of the Raska Municipality, provide a good basis for its regional development. Previous development plans marginalized these resources due to influence of industrialization. Available resources were used in a small scale. The task of this research is to perceive current geographic changes that happen among nature, population, settlements and economy. The perceived changes show complex situation in this area that had not been studied by regional geographers. The aim of this research is to define natural and human directions of development that could provide even regional development of Raska Municipality. Various literature and fieldwork (especially observation and interviews) provided data for this research. The future development plans for Raska Municipality should consider possibilities of agriculture, mining and tourism development. These activities will contribute to the regional development. These activities are also factors of the revitalization of its rural parts.

Chinese migration: still the major focus of Russian Far East/Chinese North East relations?

In contrast to Sino-Russian relations at the state-level, regional cooperation between the contiguous Russian Far East and Chinese North East has been difficult to achieve, despite the existence of seemingly natural economic complementarities. This article asks why this is the case and argues that one important stumbling block, i.e. negative reactions to Chinese labour migration, has become less problematic. Situating Russian Far East/Chinese North East relations in a regionalist framework the article compares the salience and framing of major issues in regional relations in Chinese and Russian media at the national and regional levels. Contrary to earlier research, the findings suggest that economic and regional development issues, and not Chinese migration into the Russian Far East, are by far the most salient sets of issues on both sides. However, significant differences in the framing of these issues suggest that a convergence of opinion on the desirability of regional cooperation masks contradictory expectations for the direction of regional development.

Regional development partnerships in Sweden: Putting the government back in governance?

Regional development partnerships were introduced in Sweden in 1998 as part of a new regional policy. Here it is argued that these partnerships can provide support for the concept of governance in which the state continues to play an important role in steering the direction of policy. On the surface, as a decentralized organizational form, emphasizing inclusion of a broad range of regional stakeholders in the production of regional growth agreements/programmes, the partnerships would seem to fit a strategy of ‘letting other regimes rule’ on the part of the state. However, the central role played by the Swedish county administrative boards (the extended arm of the state in the region), suggests that the partnerships could also be a way for central government to retain control over the direction of regional development. In this way, they become an example of the state's ability to adjust to a changing environment rather than its ‘hollowing out’.

Crude, Coppertone®, and the coast: Developmental channelization and constraint of alternative development opportunities

Southern Louisiana and southern Florida are characterized by the two most extensive coastal wetlands in the continental United States. These immense, seemingly hostile, and similar environments have experienced two very different directions of regional development. Louisiana developed much earlier, focusing initially on the extraction of renewable resources from the coastal marsh. Later, by the 1920s, the discovery of oil and gas led to the rapid development of an offshore, nonrenewable extractive system that is literally unparalleled on the planet. In contrast, at the time of early settlement, southern Florida had fewer recognized renewable or nonrenewable resources; its development began later, centered around amenity use rather than consumptive use of resources. In spite of potentially massive economic benefits, Florida has bitterly fought recent attempts at offshore oil or gas exploitation, and coastal tourism in Louisiana seems as unlikely as offshore development in Florida. At the same time, however...

Regional Development and Transition in the Former Soviet Union: A Comment

The authors from Russia and Ukraine in this symposium provide insightful criticism of the old system and raise important questions about future directions of regional development. Sometimes, however, their ideas still reflect old ways of thinking. Particularly important for regional development is the future of banking. Competitive branch banking offers the best mechanism for serving the financial needs of regions, but several problems must be solved to establish an efficient banking system. The transfer of knowledge and experience from market-based economies will be expedited by an increase in exchange programs joint research, and cooperation between Western regional scientists and economists and those in the former Soviet Union.

A Quantitative Approach to Designing a System of Economic Regions of the USSR

AbstractThe authors state the rationale and describe the technique used to devise a system of seven economic macroregions of the USSR for long-term planning purposes. Since broad resource groups determine the specialization of regional complexes and their specialization in the geographical division of labor, the macroregions were constructed on the basis of homogeneity in key resources, such as manpower, fuels, land, water and transport geography. The new regional system preserves the basic division of the USSR into western and eastern economic zones, and reflects the lower labor and transport costs in the west, and the lower natural-resource costs in the east. The seven-region system, which is already being used in the 15-year plan 1975–1990, is expected to help determine optimal directions of regional development depending on whether regions have surpluses or are short of fuels, electric power, land, water or manpower. The new macroregions were designed by consolidating existing basic economic regions a...
