Sustainable Development Of Regional Systems Research Articles

Формирование методического подхода к прогнозированию устойчивого развития региона

Subject/topic. The article is devoted to the scientific problem of sustainable development of the region. Issues of sustainable development have become acutely discussed in the international community at all levels of government, in connection with environmental pollution, ecosystem depletion, and climate warming. The problems of reducing the quality of life and the economic inexpediency of regional investment projects are added to environmental problems. The subject of the study is a methodological approach to forecasting the sustainable development of the region. Goals/objectives. The purpose of the study is to develop an author's methodological approach to forecasting the sustainable development of the region, taking into account its specific features and taking into account the accumulated experience in this area. Methodology. The research methodology was a systematic approach, which used: a retrospective analysis of significant indicators of regional development, approximation, statistical methods of information processing, correlation and regression analysis. The empirical basis of the study was Rosstat data on the socio-economic development of the regions. Results. The author's methodological approach to forecasting the sustainable development of the region includes methods and techniques for building an economic model and assessing its quality. A universal algorithm for the formation of an economic model for forecasting the sustainable development of the region has been developed. The selection of independent and dependent variables - factors influencing the sustainable development of the region - has been carried out. The presented economic model of forecasting the sustainable development of the region, developed on the basis of correlation and regression analysis, reflects the peculiarities of the development of a particular subject of the Russian Federation. The model is quite reliable from the point of view of statistical estimates, which makes it possible to conclude that it describes the sustainable development of the region with high probability. Conclusions/significance. The novelty of the study lies in the development of the author's methodological approach, which includes an algorithm for the formation of such an economic model, which will identify social, environmental and economic factors affecting the sustainable development of the model region and assess the degree of their influence. As a result, it was possible to identify priority areas of activity of public authorities to achieve sustainable development of the Moscow region. Application. The proposed algorithm for forming an economic forecasting model is universal and can be applied to predict the sustainable development of other regions, taking into account the assessment of the quality of the economic model. The results obtained can be useful for substantiating management decisions of public authorities on the sustainable development of regional systems, forecasting the sustainable development of the region, taking into account its specific features affecting the development of the ecosystem.

Asymmetry of Sustainable Development of Regional Systems as a Threat to the Economic Security of the State

The article is devoted to the formulation of the author's approach to assessing the socio-economic opportunities of Russian regions in achieving their sustainable development goals. It is undeniable that the term "sustainable development" is reflected in the publications of domestic and foreign scientists, however, insufficient attention is paid to its connection with the definition of "economic security", which is the basic characteristic of any economic actor. The analysis of scientific papers allowed us to correlate these categories, confirming their coherence. Consequently, monitoring of indicators of sustainable development will contribute to the timely identification of negative activities that hinder the creation of conditions for socio-economic balance at the macro, meso and micro levels. It is appropriate to note that, despite the development by official statistics of a list of national indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals, their thresholds have not been established. In view of this, the purpose of the study is to develop indicators through which the state of the regional system can be determined from the standpoint of its internal abilities to ensure social equality, economic stability, and rational use of natural resources. The set of methods used in the research process consists of two groups: general scientific, private scientific. The first of them includes: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction. Based on these tools, the relationship between such categories as "economic security" and "sustainable development" has been established. The second includes absolute and relative statistical values, ranking, classification. With their help, the Russian regions were ranked according to a number of criteria, without which the sustainable development of territories becomes illusory. The result of the study is the development and testing of a system of coefficients grouped taking into account the fundamental principles of sustainable development. Their list is presented by relative indicators that allow for an interregional comparison, the purpose of which is to identify the degree of asymmetry of meso-formations according to the parameters of sustainable development. The application of the proposed indicators is aimed at detecting prosperous and disadvantaged regions among Russian regions in order to prevent the increase of imbalances in the future.

CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES TO STUDY THE INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

The purpose of the paper is to find out and identify conceptual approaches to the study of the innovative development of regional socio-economic systems to take into account global requirements for global water security. Methodology. We used in our study traditional and special methods, including: historical and logical method, abstraction and analogy, and system analysis methods. Results. The article deals with the problems of innovative development of regional socio-economic systems. Conceptual approaches to the study of the innovative development of these systems are determined. Theoretical approaches to regionalization are generalized and the regional typology in world regionalism is presented. The study devotes a sufficient attention to the issues of infrastructure support for regional systems, which is a prerequisite for the functioning and development of such systems. The article focuses on the priority of research of such a component of regional infrastructure as engineering and technical infrastructure. The model of regulation of development of regional socio-economic systems on the basis of infrastructure support with the consideration of world requirements of global water security is offered. Practical implications. In recent times, the discussion on the definition of the essence of the concept of “region” is rather lively. The new paradigm of the regional economy represents the region as a variety of spatial systems of various scales. Yes, there are ongoing discussions that under the region can be understood as a group of states and small-sized administrative-territorial units. Despite the important role played by such regional systems in the economy of many countries, this topic in domestic studies is not given with enough attention. Also, in the domestic scientific schools of the regional economy, studies devoted to the problems of patterns and tendencies of the formation and development of regional systems of Ukraine, the solution of which can ensure the formation of a system of management of regional development taking into account national interests, are not sufficiently represented. Value/originality. This problem in the economic literature is investigated by many domestic scientists who devote a lot of attention to the problems of regional development management, including the following: Alymov A. (Libanova, Khvesyk, 2014), Amosha A. (Libanova, Khvesyk, 2014), Burkinsky B. (Libanova, Khvesyk, 2014), Voinarenko M. (Voinarenko, 2011), Danylyshyn B. (Danylyshyn, 2006), Dolishnii M. (Dolishnii, 2001), Vasylenko V. (Vasylenko, 2016), Dubnytskyi V. (Fokina-Mezentseva, 2012), Zakharchenko V. (Zakharchenko, 2013), Kolodynskyi S. (Kolodynskyi, 2011), Libanova E. (Libanova, Khvesyk, 2014), Liashenko V. (Liashenko, 2012), Mykula N. (Tkach, 2012), Novikova O. (Libanova, Khvesyk, 2014), Symonenko V. (Symonenko, 2016), Shevchuk L. (Shevchuk, 2011) and others. An overview of existing theoretical and methodological developments in the field of regional development has shown that significant progress has been made in this field both in foreign and domestic science. However, most of these developments have been made without taking into account the latest macroeconomic processes and trends that set the framework for the strategic planning of the sustainable development of regional systems on the basis of new spatial systems – regional socio-economic systems that can provide a new stage in the development of the old industrial economy of Ukraine.

INFORMATION SOCIETY: THE MODERNIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION DURING TRANSITION

Objective: To identify the main directions of modernization of higher education during the transition to the information society. Method of work: Theoretical analysis. Results: Theoretical analysis of “knowledge society” and “information society” concepts is provided. The following functions of higher education under the new socio-economic conditions are defined: socialization of an individual in the course of assimilation to socially accepted values and norms, establishing mechanisms for integration in the socio-professional structure of society, as well as formation of a social resource. We identify the key skills of person associated with the ability to use knowledge, develop useful professional information, make independent decisions and predict their consequences. By considering higher education as an important resource for the development of society as a whole, the authors determined the basic principles of creating conditions for sustainable development of regional systems of higher education, including the involvement in Russian, European and world educational space, reflection of federal and regional interests in the content of education, control of regional educational policy within preservation of a single Russian educational space, and updating the content of higher professional education based on trends in the development of modern higher education.
