A method to describe attenuation of river contamination under peak flows: Can the public water supply from Paraopeba River finally return after the Brumadinho dam disaster?

Tailings dams' disasters begin a stage of river water contamination with no endpoint at first sight. But when the river was formerly used for public water supply and the use was suspended as consequence of a dam break, a time window for safe suspension lift must be anticipated to help water managers. The purpose of this study was to seek for that moment in the case of Brumadinho dam disaster which occurred in 2019 and injected millions of cubic meters of iron- and manganese-rich tailings into the Paraopeba River, leading to the suspension of public water supply to Belo Horizonte metropolitan region with this resource, until now. To accomplish the proposed goal, an assemblage of artificial intelligence and socio-economic development models were used to anticipate precipitation, river discharge and metal concentrations (iron, manganese) until 2033. Then, the ratios of metal concentrations between impacted and non-impacted sites were determined and values representing extreme events of river discharge were selected for further assessment. A ratio ≈1 generally indicates a similarity between impacted and non-impacted areas or, put another way, a return of impacted areas to a pre-rupture condition. Moreover, when the ratio is estimated under the influence of peak flows, then a value of ≈1 indicates a return to pre-rupture conditions under the most unfavorable hydrologic regimes, thus a safe return. So, the extreme ratios were plotted against time and fitted to a straight line with intercept-x representing the requested safe time. The results pointed to 6.57 years after the accident, while using iron as contaminant indicator, or 8.71 years when manganese was considered. Despite of being a relatively low-risk timeframe, the suspension lift should be implemented in phases and monitored for precaution of potential sporadic contamination events, while dredging of the tailings from impacted areas should continue and be accelerated.

Amílcar Cabral, Colonial Soil and the Politics of Insubmission

This article discusses the concept of ‘insubmission’. This concept is the cornerstone of Amílcar Cabral’s critical theory. Introduced in his early agronomic writings, it refers to the human species’ refusal to submit to the nature of which we are always a part. The context is the anticolonial critique of traditional European humanism. Insubmission is Cabral’s response to the dehumanizing effects of colonialism and the environmental impact of anthropocentric extractivism that accompanies it. As a linchpin in Cabral’s theoretical framework, insubmission serves to structure and impart meaning to other concepts. Notably, it provides fresh insights into the multifaceted concept of ‘resistance’. Cabral underscores the imperative of combating dehumanization through physical fortitude (physical and armed resistance), intellectual resilience (cultural resistance), and institutional strength (political resistance). Additionally, it emphasizes the necessity of averting environmental catastrophes through a socio-economic development model (economic resistance) underpinned by a resolute ethical commitment to responsible soil conservation practices.

Specific features of forming the socio-economic development strategy of a modern enterprise

Methods. During the research, the following methods of scientific research were used: abstraction – when determining the essence of the socio-economic development of an enterprise; comparison – when comparing the factors of economic and social development of an enterprise; systems approach – when forming the principles of the socio-economic business development model; logic – when developing an algorithm for implementing the main elements of the model into the strategy of socio-economic development of modern enterprises. Results. The essence of the socio-economic development of an enterprise is characterized. It has been demonstrated that in order to ensure the effective operation of any enterprise, the process of developing a strategy for its socio-economic development, which combines economic and social components, is important. Such a combination allows the enterprise to achieve higher competitiveness, which is formed due to both material factors (cost reduction, profit maximization) and the influence of intangible components - reputation, customer loyalty, trust. The desire of the management of a vast majority of Ukrainian enterprises to plan their activities in order to avoid risks and threats from the external environment, as well as the formation of adaptive business stability, has been revealed. The work shows the limitations of such an approach and actualizes attention to the importance of improving the level of qualification (special knowledge, skills and abilities) of the management personnel of an organization, directly responsible for the strategic direction of its functioning and development. Novelty. The principles of building a model of socio-economic development of business are singled out and an algorithm for implementing its main elements into the strategy of socioeconomic development of modern enterprises is proposed. Practical value. The principles of building a model of socio-economic development of business are pointed out: the economic situation of an enterprise, the level of its social development, innovativeness; the number of employees who have undergone advanced training; the rate of growth (or decrease) in the volume of product sales; profitability (loss) dynamics; implementation of the principles of corporate social responsibility; a set of alternatives for the parallel implementation of strategies for economic and social development of the enterprise; the goals for improving the socio-economic development of the enterprise are defined; criteria for choosing the best solution are established; the usefulness (efficiency) of the implementation of possible alternatives will allow enterprises to have reliable guidelines in their activities and to develop effective strategies for the future.

India on the Way of Successful Transformations: Development Model

The study presents an attempt to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the Republic of India’s development model from the time of its formation in 1950 to the present days and to characterize achievements and problems along the path of transformation from a post-colonial, backward country to a state claiming a leading position in the world. It is proven that the country chose an effective but complicated hybrid development model for modernization transformations. The Indian model is significantly different from the East Asian model, it is not like any other, so it is a special type of development model. It has been proven that researchers are faced with a huge transition economy with pronounced contrasts. In particular, a high level of education and a large sector of highly qualified specialists are combined with hundreds of millions of illiterate people and a significant middle class, not present in every transition economy, with mass poverty. The presence of contrasts is characteristic of all countries with transition economies that are developing rapidly. However, India has a feature that is almost unique – a combination of the so-called "three worlds", three socio-economic development models observed in our time. This peculiar “mix” made it possible to rationally use the features and advantages of each of the specified systems at various stages of the country's development. A special model of progress enabled India to overcome (or to reduce) a significant number of the most difficult economic, scientific and technical, social problems, make a colossal leap from colonial backwardness to global leadership, and become an interesting and useful example for many countries. Such a unique combination is obviously not found in any other country, and it largely determines the features of the Indian development model and successful transformations on the path to modernization.

Waqf for accelerating socioeconomic development: a proposed model with focus on Pakistan

PurposeThe unique institution of waqf that was ignored during the colonization of the Muslim areas has to be revived to play its role in shared growth, social inclusion and cohesion in society. This research paper aims to explore the role of waqf as an instrument for a sustainable growth system and to suggest a model for socioeconomic development in an economy like that of Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachThis qualitative research is based on analytical methods to arrive at the frameworks and a model that could facilitate the revival of waqf for community development/social inclusion in economies like that of Pakistan.FindingsAs most of the OIC member states like Pakistan are facing serious financial problems due to debt servicing obligations, promoting Waqf for various socioeconomic and cultural functions is a vital requirement for such economies. The inability of the state institutions in providing necessary civic, health and education facilities to the public is causing serious harm to the balance of the society. It requires promoting a formal system of charity and using FinTech for waqf-based donations and financing the micro businesses. The perpetuity complimented by the profitability of the waqf properties makes the waqf institutions sustainable and effective when compared to individual charities.Research limitations/implicationsThis is conceptual research discussing the potential of waqf in light of its historical role. Researchers may undertake empirical studies on awqaf operations in various jurisdictions and their role in the empowerment of the poor.Practical implicationsThe research will provide the researchers with insight into the potential of waqf as a tool for community development. Besides, it will enable policymakers and implementation authorities to socialize charity for sustained benefits and welfare.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is the first major research that discusses the role of waqf in economies facing budgetary and trade deficits in the eradication of poverty and the promotion of social and economic entrepreneurship in realizing the community development targets for the economies like that of Pakistan.

Sustainable socio-economic development model: Implementation through regional ICT potential assessment

Purpose of the study is the theoretical substantiation of sustainable socio-economic development model with realization of human potential, and its practical implementation through the assessment of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) potential at regional level. Novelty lies in generalization of provisions of the proposed model of sustainable socio-economic development with realization of human potential as well as substantiating of implementation of this model through relevant tools in context of digitalization. Identified following results: 1) systematized theoretical approaches to modeling sustainable human development and formation of the author's model of sustainable development with the realization of human potential; 2) assessed the potential of regions of the Republic of Belarus in the field of ICT within three areas: access, use and skills; 3) compared received positions of the regions with their positions in terms of the value of the Gross Regional Product (GRP), which allowed to conclude that level of development of ICT potential influences the economic growth of regions and state. It is proposed to build the potential of the regions of Belarus in the field of ICT, which will ensure their sustainable socio-economic development, while achieving goals set within proposed model of socio-economic sustainable development with realization of human potential.

Історико-теоретичні аспекти дослідження Шведської моделі розвитку

Swedish model of development is one of the most successful in the world, with high levels of well-being, social equality and economic stability. An analysis of its historical and theoretical foundations allows us to understand what factors contributed to the achievement of these results. In today’s world, many countries face challenges such as economic inequality, aging populations, migration crises, climate change, etc. The Swedish model can offer valuable experience that can be adapted by other countries to address these challenges. The object of the research is the Swedish model of socioeconomic development. The subject of the research is the historical and theoretical aspects of of studying the Swedish model of development. The aim of the article is to study the historical prerequisites and stages of formation of the socioeconomic policy of Sweden. In the course of the research, the methods of analysis and synthesis, the theoretical method, the method of comparison, the calculation and constructive method, the analytical and prognostic methods were used. The article highlights the socioeconomic and political profile of Sweden; the main stages of historical development and formation of socioeconomic policy of Sweden are identified. The authors concluded that national models of economic development, despite some common features, demonstrate unique characteristics in each country. An important aspect of the success of such models is the reliance on general principles and norms that promote socioeconomic growth. The success of the socioeconomic policy of any country is based on deep historical values, an active foreign policy and reliable social protection of citizens, including access to education, health care and social support. Achievements in the economic sphere allow Sweden to conduct an active foreign policy and strengthen its position in international organizations and entities. Sweden also uses economic leverages to advance its foreign policy goals, which provides it with influence in the international arena not only economically, but also politically and strategically. In the future, Sweden must maintain a balance between a high level of social protection and economic sustainability. It is important to improve strategies to combat unemployment and stimulate the development of innovative sectors of the economy in order to ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of the Swedish economy at the international level.

Ideas of sustainable development as a condition for the integrity of the content of environmental education

In the 21st century, the ideas of sustainable development has become system-forming in all spheres of society. The goals of transition to the biosphere-compatible model of socio-economic development determine the key strategies of changes in economy, education, and culture. The ideas of sustainable development are penetrating into the content of education based on the process of ecologization of educational subjects. Ecological components of education, as a potential receptor of sustainable development ideas, are present in the content of almost all educational subjects. However, the problem of their coherence among themselves has not been solved so far. The continuing fragmentation of environmental content reduces the effectiveness of mastering the ideas of sustainable development and the formation of a modern scientific picture of the world. The author proposes to consider the problem of the integrity of environmental components of general education in interrelation with the realization of cross-cutting value and worldview lines of education for sustainable development. On the example of the key concept of education for sustainable development “ecological imperative” the possibilities of including the vector of sustainable development in environmental education are considered.

Взаимосвязь динамики добавленной стоимости базовых и сервисных отраслей в арктических муниципальных образованиях

Economic development of the Arctic is largely determined by the value added of basic economic activities, providing income for other economic entities, including the population, budget, service, etc. Therefore, the study aims to identify the relationships between the economic activity of leading companies and other sectors of the municipal economy. To this end, socio-economic development models of municipalities in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YaNAO) were constructed. Basic (mining and construction) and service industries of Yamal (public administration and other service industries) were analysed using the author’s tw-stage approach. In the first stage, the value added of economic activities (both basic and service) of Yamal municipalities was determined. In the second stage, the correlation analysis was used to measure pairwise dependencies of changes in the value added of basic and service industries, while economic and mathematical modelling was applied to calculate the impact coefficients between them. Calculations for four pairs of sub-sectors for municipalities in general showed varying relationships (correlation ranged from 0.456 to 0.819). However, a hypothesis about the significant dependence of changes in the value added of basic and service industries was confirmed for oil and gas municipalities of YaNAO; the Purovsky district can be considered a standard of close correlation relationships. Analysis of the overall coefficients of the impact of basic industries on service industries revealed that the growth of value added in basic industries leads to a 11–17 % increase in the activity of service industries. At the same time, the model specification (based on the grouping of municipalities) of the relationship between basic industries and service activities showed that the impact varies from positive to negative for different groups of territories.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the “Green” Growth Policy Pursued at the Regional Level in the Republic of Kazakhstan

The purpose of the article is to evaluate the effectiveness of the "green" growth policy pursued at the regional level. An analysis of various approaches to assessing the sustainability of the socio-economic development of the region is presented. To achieve this purpose, a comprehensive methodology was used, considering territorial factors and sectoral conditions for the development of the regions. Domestic and foreign experience in assessing the sustainability and effectiveness of the territory development were analyzed. Existing methods for assessing the region stability are studied. An integral indicator of sustainable development of the region is calculated, which includes indicators of economic, environmental, and social sustainability. The typology of Kazakhstan regions has been carried out according to the level of their environmental and economic development for the purposes of developing an effective environmental and innovation policy. It has been proved that the list of socio-economic indicators used in the calculation of the integral index makes it possible to determine with a sufficient degree of certainty the effectiveness of the ongoing regional development policy from the standpoint of observing the principles of "green" growth. It has been revealed that the modern model of socio-economic development of the country and its regions requires further efforts to develop adequate indicators of "green" development that consider economic, social and environmental components in a balanced way. The empirical conclusions of the work can find practical application in the process of developing an effective environmental and economic regional policy.

Формирование модели демографически устойчивого социально-экономического развития в регионах России

Demographic problems in Russia and around the world continue to worsen, which necessitates the study and design of a model of demographically sustainable socio-economic development that is exclusive to each country and has a general inclusive trend. The model of demographic indicators of socio-economic development combines signs of not only exclusivity and inclusivity but also universality, that is, compliance of this model with the imperatives and values characteristics of development. Studying the main processes characterizing the demographic situation in the region, describing the degree of achievement of sustainable development goals, and analyzing the dynamics of economic performance and indicators reflecting the human development of the region – these steps formed the logical basis for creating a demographically sustainable model of socio-economic development at the regional level. Data from sociological surveys was used in the study to find out the preferences and attitudes of citizens towards reproductive behavior and migration as factors that have the greatest impact on the population. The definition of a demographically sustainable model of socio-economic development is given based on a synthesis of the theory of human development and the theory of sustainable development. Qualitative criteria for demographically sustainable socio-economic development were determined (expanded social reproduction, qualitative and quantitative reproduction of the population, reduction of inequality and poverty, formation of a healthy lifestyle, accessibility of the entire population to modern Internet technologies), and quantitative indicators have been determined. The analysis of indicators of socio-economic development in Russian regions and the comparison of data from sociological surveys of the population allowed us to conclude that in modern Russia, the model of demographically decaying natural development prevails. Using the example of the Southern Federal District regions, we assessed the compliance of their socio-economic development with the criteria of demographic sustainability. We also identified the factors that ensure the formation of a demographically sustainable model of socio-economic development in modern Russian regions. The article reveals that in exclusive models of sustainable development, the emphasis can be placed on its economic, environmental or social component, depending on the existing institutional conditions, which does not deny the dominant feature of the model: its demographic sustainability. The functioning mechanism of Russia's demographically sustainable development model requires a combination of state regulation, market self-regulation and regulation through the mechanisms of civil society.

After Post-Modernity: Discussion Points Against the Background of Global Transformations

The transition of the basically local military-political crisis in the Western Eurasia into the real focus of global geopolitical transformations and civilizational confrontation. That has brought to the agenda the issue of degradation of the principles of universalities that were the basis for globalization in both: socio-political and socio-economic spheres thus demonstrating deepening interaction between them. The world is facing the perspective of competition of different models of development and their political and social localization that reflect the specifics of social-economic environment. The fact that global transformations became the result of interaction of the objective and subjective, contextual factors as well as sometimes were brought to reality through the interaction of political leaders brings us to the conclusion that the world is nowadays within the transitional era that contains several points of bifurcation of political nature that in turn drive for different models of socioeconomic development. The sharp nature of ongoing transformations reflects the situation when most of the paradigms and instrumental models that were regarded as axiomatically universal like institutional governance and representative democracy started to lose their relevance as political and socio-political management tools. The same is true about a bulk of global economic tools such as the universal protected nature of economic interdependence and international trade. But all that was the basis for the globalization. The system of global political and economic relations that has resided quite recently in the environment of nearly total universality started to lose synergy and integrity while forming complex localized formats in which political and socio-cultural factors play the leading role ahead of economic basis and socio-economic relationships. The research drives to the conclusion on the possibility of emergence of the two competing models claiming a global status the specifics of interaction between them and the key differences between them.

STRATEGIC GOALS OF THE STATE REGULATION OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES OF UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EUROPEAN VECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

The article is devoted to the study of strategic goals of state regulation of foreign economic activity of industrial enterprises in Ukraine in the conditions of European integration. In the future, Ukraine will be part of a single market with more than 450 million consumers, which will create opportunities for industrial enterprises to expand their foreign economic activity and increase their export potential. The purpose of the article is to formulate strategic objectives of state regulation of foreign economic activity of industrial enterprises in Ukraine in the context of the European development vector. This article examines the role of state regulation in ensuring effective foreign economic activity of Ukrainian industrial enterprises and identifies strategic goals to be achieved in this process. In addition, the article analyses the main challenges and obstacles hindering the achievement of these goals and suggests ways to overcome them. Methodology: scientific research uses general and specific scientific methods, including the method of analysis and synthesis, the descriptive-analytical method, the systems approach, the method of systematisation, the graphical method and the method of comparison. Results. Nowadays, effective regulation of foreign economic activity of industrial enterprises is one of the most important factors of economic growth of Ukraine. Many studies have been devoted to the development of mechanisms of state regulation of foreign economic activity, but some aspects are still overlooked by scientists. The practical implications of Ukraine's integration into the European Union are a crucial step for the development of the economy. The European Union is Ukraine's most important trading partner. Thanks to this integration, Ukrainian producers have gained easier access to one of the largest markets in the world – the European Union market. When Ukraine becomes a full member of the European Union and is fully integrated into the single market, it will create more jobs and increase salaries by exporting high-quality products to European Union countries. Ukraine is a reliable partner of the European Union and is working towards membership. This process is not fast, but Ukraine is fulfilling the Association Agreement with the European Union, adopting necessary laws and carrying out reforms for the development of Ukraine. This will help transform Ukraine into a developed country with a high standard of living. The search for new and effective mechanisms for organising foreign economic activity and preserving export potential is extremely important for Ukraine, taking into account the European vector of development in the conditions of a state of war. The article argues for a timely study of the problem of formation of a mechanism of modern regulation of foreign economic activity of industrial enterprises, taking into account the impact of the external environment. It presents a number of administrative, economic and legal methods, as well as a periodisation of the formation and development of legislation in Ukraine on foreign economic activity. It also examines the process of foreign economic activity regulation, which refers to a system of measures capable of combining direct legislative regulation of export and import activities of enterprises with economic levers aimed at protecting and improving the structure of the domestic market. The Association Agreement signed between Ukraine and the European Union shows that Ukraine has opted for the European model of socio-economic development.

Pentahelix Business Collaborations to Increase MSMEs' Post-pandemic Performance

Indonesia, in early 2020, experienced a major impact on the decline in the national economy, including the MSME sector due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to determine the obstacles faced by 21 MSMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic and to find out whether pentahelix collaborations had been implemented by the 21 MSMEs in the Medan Labuhan District as an effort to overcome the business constraints faced and to improve the MSMEs’ performance in the context of economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. Business collaborations carried out in MSME recovery programs are often referred to as the pentahelix model. The pentahelix model involves five stakeholders, namely, academics, businesses, communities, governments, and the media. The pentahelix model is a socio-economic development model involving collaborations and partnerships between five different roles. Using a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, this study was conducted on 21 MSMEs engaged in traditional snack and handicraft businesses in Medan Labuhan District as research objects. Data were collected using interviews and observations. Several obstacles were faced by MSMEs in Medan Labuhan district during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fifteen MSMEs experienced marketing-related problems, two had capital-related problems, and four had decreased-sales-related problems. Additionally, 17 MSMEs were found to have implemented pentahelix collaborations involving academics (Universitas Sumatera Utara, Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara, Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara, and Universitas Harapan Medan), the government (Medan Labuhan District Government, Medan City Government, and the Office of Cooperatives and MSMEs of Medan City), businesses (Bank Sumut and BRI), communities (independent women’s SMEs, Family Welfare Empowerment Program, and Family Hope Program), and the media (Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram). MSMEs in Medan Labuhan District were suggested to optimize business collaborations under the pentahelix model in order to overcome the obstacles posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, each stakeholder in the pentahelix model should strengthen synergy and focus attention on the use of social media to help those MSMEs market their products. Finally, banks are advised to help those MSMEs overcome the capital constraints.
 Keywords: business collaborations, Pentahelix, Social Media, MSME performance.

System dynamics simulation and scenario optimization of China's water footprint under different SSP-RCP scenarios

Under the dual influence of socioeconomic development and climate change, water resources in China are under increasing stress. It is of great significance to comprehensively explore the changing trend of China's water footprint (WF) in the future, clarify the water resource challenges that China will face, and alleviate water shortage and water pollution problems. This paper uses System Dynamics (SD) to build a simulation model of China's WF, calculate China's WF from 2000 to 2019, and for the first time, simulate and optimize China's WF from 2020 to 2050 under the SSP-RCP scenario matrix composed of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). The results are as follows. (1) From 2000 to 2019, China's WF increased to 2009 and began to decline. The main contributors are grey WF and agricultural WF. (2) During 2020–2050, China's total WF under the SSP1-2.6 scenario will always be at the lowest; compared with other scenarios, the simulation result of China's total WF under the SSP2-4.5 scenario is the closest to the actual situation in China in 2020, 2021 and 2022. China's total WF under the SSP4-6.0 scenario is close to that under the SSP2-4.5 scenario, but the numerical variation characteristics of the WF composition are different. China's total WF under the SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios is high. (3) Based on the changes in WF and water resources supply/demand ratio under different scenarios, the SSP1-2.6 scenario is the best scenario to mitigate a future water shortage and water pollution in China. The research results can help decision-makers formulate relevant management policies and socioeconomic development models for water resource utilization and provide decision support for alleviating water shortages and water pollution in China.

Between Development, Growth and Survival: Some Current Features of Iran’s Model of Socio-Economic Development

In recent years, conservative forces in Iran have lambasted their moderate and pragmatic rivals for their inability to solve the country’s economic issues and improve the living standards of its populace. However, since Ebrahim Raisi won the presidential election in 2021, Iranian conservatives have had their own chance to tackle the country’s internal challenges, being the last of the political forces without direct influence on the economic decision-making system for a long time. Nevertheless, their failed attempts to foster economic growth under sanctions pressure may prove critical to the Islamic Republic. Not only the conservative part of the establishment but the entire political system may risk losing what remains of its credibility with the Iranian people, who could perceive it as incapable of eff ectively managing the economy. Furthermore, the government’s success in resolving the current socio-economic development issues is also pivotal to the political future of E. Raisi. His failure would deprive him of any opportunity to claim the post of the next supreme leader of Iran. Meanwhile, the accumulated structural problems of the Iranian economy and the external sanctions pressure can render achieving economic progress a daunting, if not insurmountable, task. This paper seeks to elucidate why there is signifi cant social tension in Iran, resulting in periodic outbursts of protest, and why the economic situation is deemed a crisis, despite the relative resilience of the Iranian economy to external and internal challenges, as well as the macroeconomic performance dynamics, which are not necessarily inferior to those of Iran’s regional neighbors. To answer this question, the paper analyzes the main economic challenges facing the country’s leadership and the extent to which the goals and priorities of the implemented “resistance economy” doctrine provide an adequate response to them. As a theoretical tool, the author employs the ideas of M. Todaro, A. Sen, S. Smith, J. Foster, and C. Handy, justifying the need for any state to transcend the simple parameters of economic growth in formulating its development strategy and think more comprehensively, focusing primarily on creating a social and economic environment that is comfortable for its citizens. As a result, the author concludes that the model of the Iranian economy that has been formed in an aggressive environment prioritizes the survival of the existing political system, approaching the issue of economic growth as secondary and failing to satisfy some popular needs beyond the basic ones. It is incapable of ensuring comprehensive sustainable socio-economic development, which over time leads to the accumulation of internal tension in Iranian society.

АГРАРНА СКЛАДОВА ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ЗБАЛАНСОВАНОГО РОЗВИТКУ СІЛЬСЬКИХ ТЕРИТОРІЙ

The article substantiates the role and place of the agrarian component in ensuring the balanced development of rural areas. Attention is focused on the fact that the sphere of agricultural management is an important component of the national economy, outlines the food security of the country and its regions. It is emphasized that the agrarian component in combination with the multifunctional system-forming component has a significant impact on ensuring the expanded reproduction of rural areas, the formation of an effective model of socio-economic and ecological development of the studied territories. It has been established that the multi-component development of the agrarian sphere is determined not only by the production of agricultural products in order to satisfy consumer needs for food products, but also contrib-utes to increasing the level of employment of rural residents, their well-being, the preservation of agrarian traditions of rural regions, and creates a comfortable living environment for villagers. It was revealed that the basic basis of the development of the agrarian sphere within rural areas is the formation of long-term growth based on the combination and interdependence of the economic, social and ecological components of ensuring the balanced development of territorial systems. In the process of research, scientific ap-proaches to the formation of a system of ensuring balanced development of the agrarian sphere and rural areas, solving problematic issues of a socio-economic and ecological nature are summarized. The study made it possible to outline one's own vision of the formation of the components of the system of balanced development of rural areas, to substantiate the importance of the agrarian component in the expanded reproduction of rural areas. Despite the positive dynamics regarding the growth of agricultural produc-tion, considered through the prism of the peculiarities of agricultural management in Transcarpathian region, the agrarian sphere of the region requires special attention, since the studied management is car-ried out in difficult conditions of the mountainous terrain with its soil, climate and weather properties, and that significantly complicates the situation -these are difficult conditions of martial law
