Economic development and the rural environment: BUMDES development strategy

The Sustainable Development Goals in Indonesia are not only included in the national development goals but are also integrated with village development, or what are known as Village SDGs. The strategy for developing village-owned enterprises (BUMDesa) is one of the main indicators for achieving the Village SDG goals, namely Villages without poverty and Villages that care for the environment. BUMDesa is a village- owned business entity that functions to optimize village potential in improving community welfare by utilizing all economic potential, economic institutions, and the potential of natural resources and human resources. This study aims to explore rural development through the development strategies of village-owned enterprises in Mandau District and Bengkalis Regency and the factors that hinder the BUMDes development strategy. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with an exploratory type. Data collection techniques through interviews with BUMDes organizational instruments and local government and a literature review The results of this study link the stages in running the BUMDesa business unit (Village BUM Planning, Village BUM observation, arrangement, and selection, asset maintenance, and reporting of business results) with the principles of professional, open, and responsible, participatory, priority Village management. local and sustainable resources. The development of BUMDesa has not been optimal as seen from the presence of problems, namely the organizational structure of BUMDesa as well as work procedures and relationships between BUMDesa organizational devices, constraints in carrying out duties and authorities, and management and development of technology-based business units. The implementation of deliberative democracy has not been optimal in making strategic policies related to BUMDesa, as well as in fostering, supervising, and developing BUMDesa.

Assessment of ecological and geographical parameters of the Tobolsk landscape province of western Siberia

Agriculture is one of the priority sectors of the national economy of the state. The development of the agro-industrial complex of the country's regions is associated with active economic activity on the territory of landscape complexes through the use of their natural resource potential. In the article, based on the study of natural processes occurring in the landscape sphere, an assessment of the state of the natural environment was carried out. To identify favorable conditions for agricultural production, the elements of heat and moisture circulation in the Tobolsk landscape province have been identified. By jointly considering the equations of water and heat-energy balances of a land plot, a geo-ecological assessment of the study area was carried out. Within the territory under consideration, the values and features of the spatial distribution of the maximum permissible anthropogenic load on surface waters have been determined. The results obtained can be used to form an information base of the ecological and geographical characteristics of the territory, methodological and scientific developments, as well as to develop environmental standards necessary for carrying out agricultural activities within the study area

Субминеральные лечебные воды Западной Тувы

Abstract. Relevance. The Republic of Tyva has a significant potential of natural water healing resources – arzhaans. To date, more than 240 Arzhaans have been recorded in the republic, of which about 200 have been examined. The authors distinguish two groups of arzhaans – mineral, which includes mineral springs and salt-mud lakes, and fresh, which are allocated to a separate group of submineral therapeutic waters. The latter include arzhaans, whose waters have a mineralization of less than 1 g/l and do not contain any biologically active components in balneologically significant amounts.There is no information in the scientific balneological and balneological literature on the therapeutic use of submineral waters and the mechanism of their action. In this regard, their study is relevant. The purpose of this article is to summarize the results of a study of the submineral waters of the western part of Tuva. Materials and methods. In the field, water temperature and other physico-chemical parameters (pH, salinity, redox potential) were measured with an electrothermometer and a water analyzer RNT-028; unstable components - using a field hydrochemical laboratory, radon content – with the alpha–active gases radiometer RGA-01, radiological situation - with the dosimeter–radiometer "ISS-01CA1M". General chemical analysis of water and determination of helium content were carried out at the Institute of the Earth's Crust SB RAS, micro–component analysis – at Tomsk Polytechnic University. Results. 35 arzhaans were examined. It was revealed that the water of these sources has a low mineralization with a predominance of bicarbonate ions in most sources, and the contents of lithium, chromium, strontium, molybdenum, barium, and uranium from microcomponents in a number of sources exceed the average values for groundwater in the upper part of the Earth's crust. Conclusions. Submineral waters are a valuable balneological resource, as they are very popular among residents of Tuva and neighboring regions. On separate freshwater arjaans (Adargan, Ala-Taiga, Angiraktyg, Bel, Kara-Sug, Kegen-Bulak, Kum-Suu, etc.), an average of 500-600 people on each of them rest and improve their health annually in July-August. Such popularity of the submineral therapeutic springs of Tuva determines the need for their further research for a more complete understanding of the conditions of their formation, the mechanism of their action and the organization of their rational use and protection.

Implementation of the concept for forming sustainable development of agricultural land of the region

Нефтегазовый комплекс Арктики и коренные этносы: оценка потенциала и проблемы взаимоотношений

The oil and gas industry is the basis of Russia’s socio-economic development and remains the main source of foreign exchange earnings. In the 21st century, hydrocarbon exploration moved to Arctic regions. The study aims to assess the impact of the Arctic oil and gas industry on indigenous peoples of the North and identify ways to improve contractual relations between them. To this end, statistical, cluster, aggregation, analogy approaches, etc. were used. Analysis of the differences of oil and gas districts in economic activity, commodity specialisation, transport logistics revealed 6 clusters: Nadym-Urengoy, Purovsky, Zapolyarny, Nenets, Taimyr-Turukhansky (Vankorsk) and Usinsky. The oil and gas fields are linked to places of traditional residence and economic activity of small indigenous peoples that are rich in renewable natural resources. The development of these areas expanded the country’s oil and gas resource base. However, it also caused social and environmental problems associated with a decrease in renewable natural resource potential of places of traditional residence and economic activities as a result of pollution and reduction of fishing and hunting grounds. Simultaneously, the shift method traditionally used to overcome the shortage of qualified personnel in the Northern and Arctic regions allows oil and gas companies to avoid the cost of creating social infrastructure. Despite advances in technology and state policy measures implemented to solve social, ethnic and environmental problems of small indigenous peoples, economic benefits are the most important reason for the development of the Northern and Arctic regions. Thus, contractual relations between extractive corporations and indigenous ethnic groups do not protect peoples’ livelihoods. A comprehensive assessment of renewable natural resource potential is required to reduce the damage to indigenous peoples and the environment during hydrocarbon exploration.

Elaboration and application of sustainable development indicators at the regional level

The sustainability of socio-economic development of the region is largely determined by the rational use of natural resource potential of the territory. Violations of the natural course of processes occurring in natural complexes, caused by the deterioration of the environmental situation, make geo-ecological research the most urgent and priority direction of regional and sectoral projects in the field of sustainable development. The development of regional sustainability indicators should be based on a comprehensive integral geo-ecological assessment of urbanized territories, taking into account the features and changes in natural and socio-economic factors. The purpose of this study is to develop, justify and validate indicators for assessing the sustainable development of the Kaluga region. The object of the study is the sustainability of development of the system “nature-population-economy” in the Kaluga Oblast. The subject of the study is the change of life-supporting resources of geospheric envelopes under the influence of anthropogenic factors, their protection, rational use and control; the state of public health and the quality of the social sphere; the scale and pace of economic growth to ensure sustainable development of the Kaluga Oblast. The article pays attention to the key issues related to the concepts of sustainable development.

Green economy as a factor of sustainable development of the state

The problem of transition to a “green” economy based on sustainable technological changes is caused by global environmental pollution of the ecosystem, leading to warming and environmental change, insufficient natural resource potential to meet the vital needs of the planet’s population, does not contribute to its development. The practical content is determined by the fact that theoretical and methodological provisions, conclusions and scientific and practical recommendations form the scientific basis for the development of a new holistic concept for the development of a “green economy” in Russia. Conclusions are drawn that the “green” economy can become a driver of development of the Russian Federation, therefore the prospects for creating a “green” economy become dynamic and quite achievable.

ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE NORMS OF MAN-MADE LOADS ON IRRIGATED LANDS DURING WASTEWATER DISPOSAL

Nature management is a combination of various forms of exploitation of the natural resource potential of natural and man-made systems and measures to preserve it. Its most important component is not only conservation, but also reproduction, as well as rational change in the ecological balance of natural systems.It is from these positions that it seems necessary to determine environmentally acceptable norms of man-made loads on irrigated lands during the disposal of wastewater, widely used in the practice of water supply and sanitation. The use of wastewater from industrial and municipal facilities for irrigation of land is of fundamental importance from both ecological and economic positions. From the point of view of ecology, the use of wastewater in the presence of waste-free and safe technologies for their disposal in irrigation fields for irrigation of agricultural crops can serve as the basis for rational environmental management. At the same time, the ecological sustainability of landscapes is ensured, which makes possible the long-term exploitation of natural resources without their pollution and degradation.From an economic point of view, by creating agricultural landscapes in unproductive lands, using wastewater from industrial and municipal facilities, it is possible to ensure the production of a certain amount of agricultural products, provided that the damage caused to the natural system (S) will be less than the profit (S). Under these conditions, the object of wastewater disposal is the soil, which requires the need to determine a number of environmentally effective ways to optimize the soil-forming process, which would create, in an agroecological and economic sense, a perfect technology for their disposal, taking into account the laws of nature

Упровадження принципів розвитку регенеративного підприємництва в процес підготовки фахівців з менеджменту

The aggravation of economic, social and environmental problems of today necessitates their reflection in the research sphere and in the educational process of higher education institutions. Nowadays it is important to ensure the restoration of the regenerative properties of the natural resource potential and the development of a circular economy. The aim of the article is to highlight the possibilities of introducing the principles of development of regenerative entrepreneurship and the implementation of the circular economy in Ukraine in the training of future managers. Currently, the theoretical provisions of management and economic science are being criticized; there is an urgent need to bridge the gap between theory and management realities. The practice of regenerative entrepreneurship is becoming more and more widespread, which, in relation to business, is combined with the positive impact of entrepreneurial activity on the environment, primarily natural. The dynamism of market conditions requires continuous improvement of methods and techniques of teaching students in accordance with the requests of stakeholders and trends in the development of the higher education system. The article reflects the need for the development of responsible management education and the reflection of the principles of regenerative entrepreneurship in the process of training management specialists. The interest of business entities in solving individual management problems contributes to the establishment of close ties between the research, training and production spheres, which is a prerequisite for attracting effective methods in the training of management specialists. At present, along with traditional teaching methods, the use of interactive teaching methods, in particular the analysis of specific situations, has become widespread in the training of future managers, which provides a combination of mastering theoretical provisions and acquiring practical skills in the field of management. The authors consider possible objects for the use of the method of analysis of specific situations regarding the development of regenerative entrepreneurship in the training of specialists in agrarian management. The method of analysis of specific situations is successfully combined with other innovative technologies for training managers (simulation modeling, immersive learning, experimental method, etc.), capable of reflecting the implementation of the principles of regenerative entrepreneurship in the practice of organizations.

Natural Resources for Adventure Tourism in the Western Region of Mongolia

The tourism industry has become one of the major economic sectors and has been contributing significantly to the socioeconomic development of the country. In the recent years, special interest tourism which is driven by one’s personal interest, passion and novelty has grown dramatically among the various types of tourism. Out of all special interest tourism types, we selected and researched adventure tourism. The range of adventure tourism services that are currently being developed in Mongolia is limited, not particularly inventive and lacks the ability to take the full advantage of accessible opportunities. This kind of tourism is restricted to only a few types of activities, such as horse and camel riding, cycling, hiking and mountain climbing. According to the researchers, the majority of travelers are more interested in skill-based adventure tourism in remote areas and less skill-based adventure tourism in well-known tourist hotspots. The natural resources found in the western region of Mongolia are uncommon in other countries of the world, which is advantageous for the development of adventure tourism. Nevertheless, it is necessary to study these natural resources carefully to identify opportunities particularly for the development of adventure tourism. Natural resources for adventure tourism are categorized into two primary groups: land and water including elements such as mountains, rocks and sand dunes, rivers and lakes. In this manuscript we present indicators for identifying mountains, each element’s potential. As a result, potential natural resources for the growth of adventure tourism industry in the western region of Mongolia were defined.
