Questionnaires were distributed to 60 household heads, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The four obvious adaptation strategies identified in this study are social-related activities, physical infrastructure, technology-assisted, and government and organization support. There needs to be more than adaptation strategies to improve income among the people; they must be integrated into broader socioeconomic development programs and environment management levels.

Interbudgetary transfers role in regulating the budgetary provision of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation

The article studies the issues of assessing the state of fiscal capacity of the economies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Inter-budgetary transfers are important for ensuring the financial stability of economies and creating conditions for the implementation of socio-economic development programs of subjects. Because of this, it becomes relevant to administer the distribution and definition of criteria for the distribution of inter-budgetary transfers. The revenues volume indicators of the entities and federal districts with and without interbudgetary transfers, as well as their values per capita have been studied. The comparative analysis of the budget revenues and interbudgetary transfers dynamics has been carried out. The structure of interbudgetary transfers distribution among the regions has been assessed. Statistical characteristics of the interbudgetary transfers share in the revenues of the budgets of the entities showing their heterogeneity has been obtained. The fiscal capacity per capita indicators in the regions and their dynamics have been analyzed. The influence of inter-budgetary transfers on increasing the level of budgetary security of the population in the subjects of the Russian Federation is shown. The correlation per capita of interbudget transfers and gross regional product has been carried out, indicating their variability in time and space, as well as the presence of significant differentiation of their values in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

ЗАСАДИ РОЗВИТКУ МІСЦЕВИХ БЮДЖЕТІВ В УМОВАХ РЕФОРМУВАННЯ МІСЦЕВОГО САМОВРЯДУВАННЯ

The article is devoted to an overview of some of the main organizational and economic foundations of the development of local budgets in the conditions of local self-government reform. It was determined that local self-government is a manifestation of the democratic management of social development, which is based on the idea of citizen participation in solving community problems. The main functions of local self-government are the involvement of citizens in issues of local development, management of communal property, socio-economic and cultural development, provision of social services to the population. The powers of local self-government bodies include the preparation of community socio-economic development programs, the involvement of enterprises and ensuring the efficient use of resources. The implementation of the organizational and economic mechanism benefits all participants in the process, because the accumulation of taxes in the local budget contributes to the growth of the quality of life of the population, creates additional conditions for the development of enterprises, the creation of new jobs, and affects the formation of the investment climate. In the conditions of martial law, changes were made to a number of regulatory and legal documents regulating budgetary issues to ensure the smooth functioning of budgets at various levels during the war. The changes concerned the provision of prompt, continuous and timely implementation of local budgets, which provide for the needs of both residents and business entities of the OTG. To ensure the restoration of the work of enterprises and organizations in the liberated territories, local self-government bodies redistribute state aid. At the same time, the biggest changes in legislation related to the cancellation of mandatory taxes and deductions to the budgets of the OTG. Further scientific research in this direction concerns the improvement of the methodology for analyzing the development of local budgets in the context of local self-government reform. A number of regulatory and legal documents regulating budgetary issues under martial law were reviewed.

Population Changes Under the Impact of Industrialization in Vietnam: A Case Study of Binh Duong Province

Population change is a key component of Vietnam's economic development paradigm. However, in each locality, population shifts can be stimulating while also posing hurdles to socioeconomic development programs. This article assesses population changes in Binh Duong province and suggests plans for development and population control. The findings suggest that Binh Duong has a diversified population and is constantly receiving new population classes. Binh Duong's population increased the most rapidly between 1997 and 2023, following a centuries-long steady pace. This is also a time of dramatic demographic change, with the population becoming more multi-ethnic, multi-regional, multinational, and multicultural. Binh Duong's socioeconomic development successes reflect the contributions of all segments of the community, with immigrants playing a significant role. Binh Duong province must develop and implement policies for sustainable population management and development, including the establishment of a population database system linked to economic and social development strategies, the incorporation of population policies into economic, social, and cultural development programs and plans, and the linking of population development and management policies to sustainable population policies.

Autonomy Acquisition and Performance within Higher Education in Vietnam—A Road to a Sustainable Future?

The Vietnamese Government prioritizes education as a developmental investment within its socioeconomic development programs. Subsequently, Vietnam’s higher education system (HE) is experiencing substantial transformation, emphasizing autonomy, because institutions endowed with self-governance capabilities may allocate societal resources more efficiently for developmental purposes. In this paper, we measured Vietnamese universities’ total factor productivity change (TFPCH) in the autonomy context, using it as a proxy for the sustainable performance of HE institutions. We decomposed TFPCH into Technical Efficiency Change (EFFCH) and Technology Change (TECHCH) and regressed these indices with independent variables to derive their determining factors. Notably, we employed the derived intercept as a proxy for the autonomy context of Vietnam. The DEA found significant advancements in productivity and technology, indicating a positive paradigm shift within Vietnam’s higher education system. The intercepts obtained from these regressions are positive and significant, implying that the autonomous environment supports the sustainable advancement of Vietnam’s higher education system in both components of TFPCH: the catch-up ability (EFFCH) and technological improvement (TECHCH). In addition, we found that investment in vital resources (number of laboratories, research funding, or quality accreditation) improves productivity (TFPCH) via technological improvement. We also observed that private universities experienced higher performance progress than public ones. However, we did not find any significant relationships between the university scale or the location of the main campus and their performance. To further the growth of Vietnam’s higher education system, we propose that the autonomy of institutions continues to be granted.

ANALYSIS OF THE STATE OF THE FOOD INDUSTRY

The article presents an analysis of the food industry market according to the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Statistics, the main share of meat and meat product producers as of 01.02.2023. Meat products are now regarded as high-risk products that carry both biological and chemical dangers. The International Epizootic Bureau (OIE) and Codex Alimentarius papers include guidelines for thuse of a risk-based approach to animal products. The OIE documents, on the other hand, primarily concern the veterinary welfare of farm animals, but in the Codex Alimentarius they relate to the completed product and are seen as relevant to human health. The technology aspect is not particularly addressed in these texts, but it is crucial in managing both individual hazards and their aggregate, allowing to produce products with guaranteed shelf-life safety as well as safety for human health and epizootic well-being. The success of the nation's socioeconomic development program will be greatly influenced by the quality, variety, and availability of food, which should be prioritized as a national effort.

АКТУАЛИЗАЦИЯ ИНДИВИДУАЛЬНЫХ ПРОГРАММ СОЦИАЛЬНО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО РАЗВИТИЯ РЕГИОНОВ СИБИРИ

One of the driving ways of socio-economic development for regions with a low level of development was the Individual Programs for Socio-Economic Development (hereinafter – IPSED) until 2024 with prolongation until 2027, with financial support from the center in a ratio of 90 to 1 (federal subventions in the amount of 90%, regional 1%). Siberian regions with a low level of development were selected by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia on the basis of the "Methodological recommendations for organizing work on the development of individual programs for the socio-economic development of subjects of the Russian Federation with a low level of socio-economic development": the Republic of Altai, Tuva and the Altai Territory. Individual programs for socio-economic development will help Siberian regions with a low level of development to achieve the national development goals of the Russian Federation until 2030. The purpose of the study is to update the intermediate implementation measures of the regional authorities with the IPSED in Siberia. The object of the study was the IPSED of Siberian regions with a low level of development. A comparative description of the main socio-economic indicators of the development of problem regions of Siberia has been made. The authors also calculated the interpretive forecast version of 4 indicators: average per capita cash income of the population; the proportion of the population with monetary incomes below the subsistence level; unemployment rate; investment in fixed assets per capita, on the basis of which 10 regions of the Russian Federation were selected for the development and implementation of the IPSED until 2024. In this case, a set of methods was used: induction, deduction and statistical methods of analysis, such as comparison, dynamics, forecast (least squares method). Taking into account the set goal, the assessment of some positions of individual programs for the socio-economic development of the regions of Siberia is carried out by the authors on the basis of a qualitative component (distinctive regional components) and its real impact on the economy of regions with a low level of development. The result of the study is of an intermediate-recommendatory nature, IPSED programs are being implemented in territories with a low level of development of Siberia until 2024 (prolongation until 2027).

ANALYSIS OF DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS IN AGRICULTURE-BASED AND RAW MATERIALS-BASED REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

In recent decades, there has been some reduction in the working age population in most regions of the Russian Federation (influenced by the “demographic pit” of the 90s of the 20th century). The decline in the population is certainly a negative factor in the socio-economic development of any territory. The present study conducted a comparative analysis of the main demographic indicators of the two regions — agriculture-based (Altai region) and raw materials-based (Khanty-Mansi autonomous region — Ugra). The choice of these constituent entities of the Russian Federation is due to their specialization, industry, agriculture, food industry, oil and gas production are the main groups of economic progress of the entire state. The analysis of demographic processes was based on the data posted in official open sources (Federal State Statistics Service).
 According to the authors, without the sufficient number of working age population, without maintaining the optimal ratio of men and women, the level of marriage, the number of women of fertile age, the development rate of the territories will decrease. Preserving the population, increasing the birth rate and life expectancy is the main task of the authorities, which is reflected in the programs of socio-economic development approved by all levels of government of the Russian Federation.

Linear or Circular Economy: A Review of Theories, Practices, and Policy Recommendations for Vietnam

The traditional linear economy has created unstainable development. A circular economy (CE) is considered as a crucial means and has been adapted by many governments to achieve sustainable development goals. By narrative literature review, this article aims to discuss the concepts of linear and circular economies and CE models, examine countries’ CE development experiences, and make recommendations for successfully adapting a CE. The findings show that a CE is different from a linear one in terms of the step plan, focus, system boundaries, reuse, and business models. The CE model includes slowing and closing resource loops and a narrowing of resource flows and is based on the foundation of renewable and non-toxic resources as well as through long-lasting design, and reducing, maintaining, repairing, reusing, remanufacturing, refurbishing, recovering, and recycling. Many countries around the world have adapted a CE model with different circularity levels with the main focus to reduce waste. The paper also recommends that a CE should be percieved as the central point of socio-economic development programs and policies that must address the full cycle, from product design to production processes, consumption, and recycling rather than having only a waste reduction focus. Producers should use a CE framework as the basis for product design, manufacturing, and recycling strategies. Consumers should change their perception of CE and adjust their behaviors towards making decisions to buy and consume toward circularity. Also, there is a need to change the perceptions of policy makers and other stakeholders on the CE concepts and framework.

Marine-related livelihood activities of Can Gio District Residents: Situation and Solutions for Sustainable Development

Marine economic exploitation has been interesting for many decades for the Party and Government in Vietnam, especially in exploiting and developing the maritime economy sustainably. Therefore, the Party and the Government in Vietnam have issued resolutions related to marine strategies, such as Resolution No. 09-NQ/TW (February 9, 2007) of the 10th Party Central Committee on Vietnam’s maritime strategy to 2020, which set the goal of turning Vietnam into a country that is strong in the sea, enriching from the sea, etc., or Resolution No. 27/2007/NQ-CP (May 30, 2007) and Resolution No. 84/NQ-CP (December 10, 2015) of the Government on action programs to implement Vietnam’s maritime strategy up to 2020, mentioning many programs of socio-economic development, defense, and security of the sea and islands. In coastal provinces and cities, all programs are developed, and action programs are organized and implemented related to marine exploitation. Cần Giờ is a district of Ho Chi Minh City. The leaders of the district have implemented a number of programs related to marine exploitation and have encouraged people to continue with a variety of sea-related livelihood activities, such as fishing, farming, salting, and tourism associated with maritime ecological culture. These factors have contributed to the socio-economic development of Cần Giờ district and the successful implementation of Party and State guidelines and policies. However, to ensure the long-term viability of Can Gio residents’ marine-based livelihood activities, it is necessary to assess the current situation and propose viable solutions for the future. This is also the main goal of this article.

Overview of conceptual approaches to circular economy in AIC of Kazakhstan

The goal is to outline conceptual foundations of the circular economy in agriculture, to study the directions of its development. Methods – comparisons, generalizations, expert opinion, statistical based on obtaining primary data, as well as theoretical analysis of scientific literature of foreign and domestic authors. Results – features of the circular transformation of the industry and main differences from the traditional way of agricultural production are determined. The article shows its essence and principles of implementation in agricultural sector. The prospects for world development require the creation of a resource-efficient agri-food system. As a result of the study, indicators were analyzed that can measure the circularity of agro-industrial production: slowdown, reduction and regeneration. It was revealed that in conditions of resource scarcity, climate change, environmental degradation, increasing demand for food, the circular economy is a strategy for the rational use of renewable natural resources, contributes to solving global problems. Conclusions – the proposed approaches to creating a new, rational food and nutrition chain are aimed at maintaining the value of products and resources for a long period, returning them to production cycle after the end of use, minimizing waste generation, reducing food losses, ensuring food security and economic growth. Based on the study of foreign experience, the authors substantiate the importance of state support and scientific support for circular economy. The speedy solution of the issues revealed in the article is of interest in the preparation of draft state, sectoral programs for socio-economic development of the agro-industrial complex, will ensure a more efficient use of raw materials in the framework of production processes.

LOGICAL METHODS OF FORECASTING ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE HANDLING OF TECHNOSPHERE OBJECTS

The relevance of research in the field of environmental protection, ensuring the environmental safety of the life support of settlements, incl. construction and urban economy, as well as energy and resource saving, rational, eco-nomical, careful use of natural resources is predetermined by the modern course of the Russian state and society to-wards sustainable socio-economic development. The purpose of this study was the formation of necessary and suffi-cient conditions, predictive parameters and indicators of the transition of the life support system of technosphere ter-ritories to a resource-saving technological mode of environmentally safe life. To achieve this goal, for the first time the methods of logical and mathematical analysis were applied, which, according to the author's intention, implement the function of transition from the managerial and organizational and technical formulation of the problem to its mathematical formalization. The paper uses a new conceptual author's approach to the identification of technosphere objects not as sources of environmental and sanitary hazard, but as resource and raw material components of the re-production of material goods, taking into account the implementation of the strategic tasks of preserving the non-renewable strategic reserve of natural resources of the Russian Federation, protecting the population, components of natural environment and territories from unfavorable technospheric factors and environmental threats, possible emergency situations of a man-caused nature. Based on the results of the research, the paper solves the problem of logical analysis and forecasting of the parameters of environmentally safe life on the basis of resource-saving princi-ples of re-use of construction and other products that have completed their service life, were in use. The results of the work can be used in the formation of strategies, concepts, programs for sustainable socio-economic, environmental, industrial-technological, scientific and technical development of various sectors of the economy, municipalities and regions based on the transition to a resource-saving technological mode of environmentally safe life support for terri-tories.
