Green Transformation of Individual Transport – Current State of Electromobility – Case Study in Poland

The available literature on the subject emphasizes that green transport based on the idea of electromobility is an inevitable process. The Electromobility Development Program is to become one of the pillars of the Plan for responsible economic development of each country. Its effect is to create conditions for the development of production and popularization of electric vehicles. According to the assumptions of the Polish Ministry of Energy, 1 million electric vehicles are to appear on Polish roads by 2025. The aim of the article is to present the current challenges related to the implementation of this ambitious plan in this difficult economic and social period. Therefore, the article uses the method of observing the state of development of electromobility in relation to the demand and supply sides. In particular, an attempt was made to identify the basic barriers and possible benefits related to the operation of electric vehicles at the end of 2023. This research may contribute to faster development of universal solutions for eliminating existing restrictions and barriers by identifying areas requiring adaptation to new market rules. Additionally, the presented analyzes and diagnoses of the current state can constitute the basis and encouragement for further research on topics related to the promotion of green transport through the development of electromobility in terms of identifying further consequences for all stakeholders of this market.

Problems of sustainable economic development in modern conditions

Solving the problems of sustainable economic development and improving the standard of living and well-being of the population in Russia is largely due to increasing the effectiveness of the system of strategic planning and management of socio-ecological and economic development of regions. For many years, the priority direction in the rural economy of the country has been the sectoral agrarian approach, including in areas with limited resource potential. This did not contribute to a breakthrough in the development of agriculture due to the destruction of established principles and relationships. Particular attention should be paid to the problem of infrastructure development in rural areas, economic entities engaged in the processing and sale of agricultural raw materials and products, local crafts and rural tourism, services.

ПЛАНИРОВАНИЕ КАК ОСНОВА УПРАВЛЕНИЯ ЗДРАВООХРАНЕНИЕМ

Health planning is an integral part of the state plan for economic and social development. The principles of planning were developed at the dawn of the construction of a new state and have been developing throughout its subsequent history. Planning tasks are comparable to the most important branches of economic activity. Their implementation in all its diversity is in the line of life support. The polit-ical acceptability of the criteria for organizing the health care system is important. Public medicine is class medicine. A public doctor cannot be apolitical. Without broad involvement of the public, it is impossible to make the work of health care alive, capturing the interests of the population.

Territorial planning and adaptation to global changes. A critical analysis of the French State doctrine on the coast of the Gulf of Lion

The Mediterranean coast condition is worrying. The Gulf of Lion coast lower and sandy areas, densely urbanized, are particularly exposed to erosion. In addition, this coastline will experience by 2100 an increase in salt water intrusions, floods by marine submersion and damage to infrastructure due to sea level rise. The State first “left it to the developers” at the end of the 19th century, then decided to build new seaside resorts within the ‘Mission Racine’ the framework in the second half of the 20th century. The State now defends a “retreat doctrine” by relocating activities and people further away from the sea. However, this doctrine is opposed by economic actors and especially by local elected representatives, who have become the real architects of planning policies as a result of the 80’ decentralisation. The adaptation of this very touristy coast, which was an international laboratory of architectural and urban innovation during the 1960s, therefore seems compromised. Neither the local planning tools nor even the regional coastal management strategy can reconcile economic development and resilient urban planning in the absence of coastal governance.

The effects оf Chinese population policy оn the labour market

Faced with high levels of poverty, China introduced its "one-child policy" in 1980 and began economic and systemic reforms that led to the country''s strong economic development. Thanks to the improvement in the average standard of living, certain socioeconomic aspects related to women''s employment, the pursuit of higher education, delays in childbirth, and the number of children have changed. These changes have not only reduced the number of children being born and led to population aging, but have also affected the labour market. The aim of this paper is to determine the effects of Chinese population policy on selected labour market indicators: labour force by age and sex in rural/urban areas, the labour force participation rate, and the unemployment rate. Research results from 2010 to 2020 show the growth of the labour force, while the unemployment rate has been growing since 2018. It is noticeable that the number of workers in the labour force is growing in cities, while it is declining in rural areas. On the other hand, the unemployment rate is lower in rural areas, while the growth of unemployment is evident in urban areas. The research shows that the long-term implementation of this population policy has resulted in a larger number of men, leading to greater participation of men in the labour force. Despite measures to improve the position of women at work, women''s social security is still not guaranteed, and it is more difficult for women to decide to expand their families. As China has ambitious plans for economic development, defining adequate population and social policies is crucial for their implementation.

Политический кризис в Буркина-Фасо: внутренние и внешние факторы дестабилизации

The article examines the causes of and prerequisites for the political crisis in Burkina Faso that became almost permanent during the years of its independent development. Burkina Faso is one of Africa’s poorest countries and has witnessed eight military coups, including two in 2022. By the end of the 2010s, it found itself at the epicenter of the Sahel crisis. Burkina Faso also changed its foreign policy orientation, abandoning the neocolonial dependence on France, and adopted a series of economic development plans. The authors analyze military, political and socio economic factors of the emergence of this political crisis against the backdrop of weakening state power, primarily in peripheral areas affected by armed conflict. The article also considers the problem of interference of external actors in the political life of Burkina Faso and the reaction of Economic Community of West African States to a series of military coups in the country. Special attention is paid to the role of tribal militias Koglweogo self defense groups and other similar organizations in the current conflict with Islamists in the northern regions of the country. It is noted that in areas under control of the rebels or, on the contrary, pro government non state actors (militias), the war economy is developing at a rapid pace, and the population is creating new local “self governance” structures that emerge as an alternative to the state power and are led by field commanders. It is concluded that the situation in the country resembles a vicious circle: successive governments are unable to implement development projects due to political instability, while weak economic development, in turn, causes political instability. At the same time, the ongoing strengthening of contacts between Burkina Faso and Russia generates hopes among residents of this West African country for finding a solution to the long term military and political crisis in foreseeable future.

Analysis of Sustainability of Bamboo Handicrafts: Investigation of Welfare and Its Supporting Variables

Bamboo is a natural material with numerous applications, one of which is the creation of handicrafts. As a form of creative economic development that contributes to the welfare of people, bamboo handicrafts are a form of ancestry.

The study's primary data sources were collected via surveys and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with research informants. According to the findings of the study, sixty percent of the community is comprised of bamboo handicrafts. Nutritional health, employment, accommodation, and community environment is in the good category. However, the condition of community education falls within the category of sufficiency. Conservation, environmental protection, culture, wealth, and innovation all have an impact on the sustainability of bamboo crafts in Sidatapa Village. Producing sustainably also requires taking into account marketing, supplies, and production. Conservation, environmental protection, culture, wealth, and innovation all have an impact on the sustainability of bamboo crafts in Sidatapa Village. In order to achieve sustainability, additional factors such as production, marketing, and materials must be taken into account. The research data can explain the condition of the variables that contribute to the durability of bamboo handicrafts.

Analyzing and evaluating the effects resulting from the application of the tax incentives policy at the macroeconomic level

Tax incentives have multiple policies, including tax exemption, accelerated depreciation, investment allowances (tax deduction, additional depreciation), tax discriminatory rates and other policies that are linked to tax rates. The tax exemption includes two types of exemptions, social exemptions and economic exemptions, which in turn are divided into two types, exemptions to prevent double taxation, and incentive exemptions that work to attract and provide investments and direct them towards the projects targeted in the economic plans. Specific exemptions for a certain number of years or are absolute exemptions. As for the policies of investment allowances, they are policies that result in either reducing the tax debt itself or reducing the taxable base, and the amount of the reduction is linked to a percentage of the volume of investments in investment projects. Objectives of the economic development plan.

Coordination of National Economic Plans of the USSR and CMEA Countries

The article describes the development and functioning of the mechanism for coordinating state long-term (five-year) economic development plans of the CMEA countries. Special attention is paid to the period of the late 1960s, when dissatisfaction with the achieved level of CMEA work, including in the field of coordination of plans, gave rise to a wide discussion about ways to reform CMEA, which resulted in the adoption of the Comprehensive Program of Socialist Economic Integration. Analysis of a mechanism of bilateral consultations, which became the main form of coordination of plans after the failure of Soviet attempts to increase the role of CMEA in 1962—1963, made possible to figure out the pros and cons of this mechanism. The article describes various Soviet proposals to change it made by the USSR State Planning Committee and the CMEA itself. It is shown that the USSR State Planning Committee resisted the ideas of strengthening the role of CMEA in the process of coordinating the plans of the CMEA countries. It is concluded that the State Planning Committee was guided not only by institutional competition. He sought to guarantee the Soviet economy from the consequences of rash decisions to increase supplies of fuel and raw materials to the European CMEA countries, which the State Planning Committee considered unprofitable.

Theoretical principles of restoration of the competitiveness of territorial communities and regions

The article examines the theoretical aspects of ensuring the economic growth of territorial communities and regions of Ukraine. The set of problems that arise in certain regions and territories and negatively affect the dynamics of their socio-economic development is analyzed. The necessity of forming conceptual strategies for restoring the competitiveness of territorial communities in modern conditions is suggested. Approaches to understanding the essence of the concept of territorial competitiveness and its importance for the formation of territorial economic development plans are considered. Factors that directly affect the level of competitiveness of the regions of Ukraine are studied, among the key ones are the level of infrastructure development, the level of technological development of the region, the quality of the human capital of the region, etc. The problems that arise in regions and territorial communities, and which have a critical impact on the state of their competitiveness, are identified. A number of destructive factors have been identified that, under the influence of negative market dynamics formed as a result of the war, reduce the current state of competitiveness of territorial communities. Such factors include the lack of proper infrastructure, shortage of financial and material resources, decrease in the quality of life of the population, and others. The necessity of forming conceptual strategies for restoring the competitiveness of territorial communities and regions of Ukraine in the process of post-war development of the national economy was determined. Ways of improving the development of regional infrastructure through specialized targeted state programs, raising the level of education and professional training of the population, attracting investments on the basis of private-state partnership, etc. are proposed.

A set of theoretical provisions regarding the provision of solutions to the problems of socio-economic development of territorial communities and regions on the basis of ensuring the restoration of their competitiveness through the implementation of projects of regional significance on the basis of sustainable development are considered.

Participatory Methods for Urban Development

Many developing countries as well as some developed countries suffer from the problem of slums. They constitute a real defect in the economic and social development plan of the concerned countries. The methods used to finance development projects in countries vary according to the different social, economic, and legislative influences. The process of providing the expenses required for these projects is one of the most important problems that governments face.

Planning for the cultural economy: lessons from Ontario, Canada

ABSTRACT This paper examines how policymakers interpret and deploy cultural economy approaches within municipal economic development strategies and cultural plans. Focusing on the 33 largest municipalities in Ontario, Canada, we conduct a keyword analysis of 63 municipal planning documents, supplemented with key informant interviews with economic development and cultural planning staff. Our analysis reveals that the use of cultural economy approaches in economic development and cultural plans varies depending upon city size, municipal governance structure and municipal organizational structure. However, despite the widespread use of cultural economy ideas in planning documents, we conclude that its uptake in municipal policymaking fails to reflect its professional and scholarly popularity.

Education development in rural China as an important factor for socio-economic development in the 14<sup>th</sup> Five-Year Plan period

Against the backdrop of major reforms in education development in the 21st century, in the run-up to the adoption of China’s new 14th Five-Year National Economic and Social Development Plan (the 14th Five-Year Plan), plans for education development in rural China have been announced again and again. However, it is no longer just a question of ensuring quality basic education, but also of developing other segments of education as an essential component of the country’s continued economic growth. The authorities are now taking a more comprehensive approach to the development of the country’s rural areas, so the most pressing issues in this regard are included in the agenda: ensuring the quality of education, training personnel in rural areas, creating conditions for improving the skills of those employed in agriculture, as well as issues related to the social features of regional development, creating favorable living, working and social security conditions for the elderly, whose numbers are increasing every year. Such a comprehensive approach to solving the problems of socio-economic development of rural regions will be one of the most important points in the implementation of the new five-year plan.

Impact of the strategic development planning of the Plurinational State of Bolivia on the governance of women in the Achica Arriba community, Viacha municipality

In Bolivia, part of the public management of the Plurinational State is to conduct a development planning process within the framework of living well, contemplating the enactment of Law No. 777 of the Comprehensive State Planning System - SPIE, Patriotic Agenda 2025 and the Economic and Social Development Plan 2021-2025. Governance implies the participation of men and women, where it is important to actively involve women to participate in the definition of policies and processes at global, national and local levels and influence the institutions that produce them makes it more likely that these respond to different needs and situations, these changes should result in a more gender-sensitive governance. Women's equal participation in governance is an important end in itself, considering that it is a basic right of women who are so often deprived of a voice in decision-making at all levels. In this sense, the objective of this essay is to visualize if the regulations and formulations inherent to the strategic development planning of the Plurinational State of Bolivia are reflected in the participation of women in the governance of the Achica Arriba community. The community of Achica Arriba is an example of the inclusion of the duality Man-Woman (Chacha-Warmi) where the husband and wife share a position in the organic structure of the community, both attend the meetings and lead the meetings, however, there is still a certain lag of women in the participation and decision making in the community. Likewise, the exclusion of "single" women without a partner in senior management positions is noteworthy, as they only have the option of accessing the last position, which diminishes their role in society within the community. Reflecting part of the inequity in governance within the community. Women have a fundamental role in the community, as they carry out productive activities related to the care of livestock, crop production, and reproductive activities concerning the care of children, forming part of community production and sovereign access to food.
