Theoretical Approach to Territorial Development and Socioeconomic Vulnerability in the Agricultural Sector to Suport Agroturism

The agricultural and productive impulse in general is an inseparable part of territorial development and therefore of human progress. By the way, the Guidelines and the Economic and Social Policy of the Party and the Revolution, approved in the VIII Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba, are strategies proposed to guide the socioeconomic management of the country. The following article shows a reflection on the fundamental concepts and trends related to territorial development and socioeconomic vulnerability in the agricultural sector in a way that facilitates its correct operation of agroturism and guarantees sustainable development. Theoretical methods were used such as analysis and synthesis, historical-logical, structural systemic; and empirical ones such as scientific observation, interviews, study of normative documents, among others. As a result, the foundations were laid for the theoretical-practical deepening of the research and a group of conditions are exposed that allow the identification of socioeconomic vulnerability in the agricultural sector as a decisive factor for sustainable territorial development for planning agroturism. From the reflection carried out in this study and from both the theoretical and practical contribution, the need to identify socioeconomic vulnerability in the agricultural sector is demonstrated in order to achieve sustainability of agricultural businesses, as well as economic and social regeneration of the territory in question. harmony with the environment; anywhere in the world.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICE METHODOLOGY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE HROMADAS: GENERAL IDEA AND EXAMPLE OF SMART CITY INFRASTRUCTURE

The purpose of the study is the development of analytical tools and organizational and economic mechanisms for the post-war restoration of sustainable development of territories based on the infrastructural and service methodology of the development of innovative hromadas as a basis for ensuring the well-being of local hromadas to avoid the social, environmental and economic problems of war and their approval within the framework of pilot infrastructural and service projects. Methodology. The research is based on the approach of R. Jochimsen, who, in one of the first system descriptions, defined infrastructure as a set of material (production), institutional and individual conditions available to economic agents, which condition integration and the maximum level of economic activity. It is also worth considering the idea that the main differences of the neo-industrial paradigm of local hromada development lie in competent participation based on self-organization, multisubjectivity and decentralization of social relations based on cooperation and communicative equality, and the orientation of society towards the realization of human potential. Innovative hromadas correspond to these trends and provide an effective solution to the primary task of the service-oriented system, which consists in the development of a service policy capable of ensuring the inclusion of existing resources and functional potential of territories to ensure dynamic, balanced, complex socio-economic development. The infrastructure-service approach includes the maximum satisfaction of human needs and desires, as well as the creation of working and living conditions, and aims to meet the needs of the hromada by attracting and retaining human resources through the development of services and infrastructure. Practical implications. The results of the research have applied socio-economic significance and are aimed at solving the important problem of post-war restoration of sustainable development of territories through the design of service provision and use of resource potential of local innovative hromadas. The main result of the application of the developed methodology is the scientific substantiation of the organizational and economic support for the post-war restoration of the sustainable development of territories based on the infrastructure-service methodology of the development of innovative hromadas and the development of the corresponding analytical toolkit, which will allow its adaptive use within the framework of intelligent specialization. Scientific and methodological approaches will be developed to determine the role of infrastructure and service clusters for the well-being of hromadas, based on a consideration of their impact on human capital and its components. Value/originality. Compared to existing analogues, the proposed approach is systemic, takes into account the specifics of innovative activity and covers the entire range of tasks for managing infrastructure and service factors of sustainable development.

Sustainable Development of Territories during the Period of Post-War Environmental Restoration

The aim of the article was to substantiate the transformations of the conceptual foundations of sustainable development of territories during the period of post-war ecological restoration of states. The main methodological tools were the methods of modelling, experiment, and morphological analysis. The research showed that countries faced a globally important task in the ecological restoration of territories in the post-war period. The destruction of the environment and its pollution caused by military actions sharply reduce the positive indicators of the state of the environment. It was proved that sustainable development goals act as effective vectors for improving the state of the environment in the period of post-war ecological recovery. The implementation of ecologically significant actions during the post-war ecological recovery in Bosnia and Herzegovina shows that this process is complex and difficult. The problems of contradictory decisions, corruption, and lack of transparency should be considered. The environmental strategy of BiH ESAP 2030+ of Bosnia and Herzegovina, developed by the SDG, can be an example of the corresponding legislative regulation in Ukraine. The UNDP’s project Sustainability of Protected Areas (SPA) implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the context of popularizing ecotourism is also worth noting. A similar project can be implemented in Ukraine in the context of sustainable development of the country during the period of post-war ecological restoration. The main long-term problem in the territory of Ukraine is the demining of regions, which will also determine the terms of implementation of recovery procedures.

STRUCTURING OF LAND USE RESTRICTIONS IN UKRAINE

Establishing land use restrictions as a mechanism for ensuring favourable conditions for the life of the population and sustainable development of territories is of great importance. The study analysed the diversity of restrictions on land use, determined the grounds for setting land use restrictions, carried out their aggregation and structuring according to various characteristics, taking into account legal, spatial, social, economic and ecological aspects. During the research, methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison and system methods were used. Restrictions on land use are diversified in nature, size and grounds for establishment. The main basis for imposing restrictions on the land use in Ukraine is the necessity of natural resources preservation; ensuring the economic efficiency of territory development; ensuring social justice and protection of the population; environmental stability preservation territory restoration in the post-war period. The classification of land use restrictions is proposed depending on various classification features. The most significant among which are: presence of the mode-forming object as a basis for restriction; degree of determination; planning characteristics; validity term; ownerships of land in the area of limitations; access mode status for beneficiaries of specified benefits. The results of the study illustrate the need to further definition of the assessment of the impact of restrictions on social life.

LEGAL REGULATION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF LAND USE LIMITATIONS IN UKRAINE

Establishing restrictions on land use as a mechanism for ensuring favourable conditions for the life of the population and sustainable development of territories is of great importance. In the study, an analysis of the legal regulations of setting restrictions on the use of land in Ukraine was carried out. In the study, an analysis of the diversity of the branches of legislation was carried out, the main ones regulating the formation and establishment of restrictions on the use of land were determined, and their structuring was carried out. In the process of research, methods of analysis and synthesis were used. The analysis of legally defined branches of legislation showed that the issue of the formation of restrictions is regulated by both general and related branches of legislation. The general ones include: Fundamentals of the constitutional system; Civil legislation. Related branches include: Industry; Construction, urban planning and architecture; Land legislation; Transport; Communication, information and informatization; Culture and art; Natural resources. Environment protection; State of emergency. Emergency situations and liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster; Geodesy and cartography. Hydrometeorology; Defence; National security. The results of the research on related branches of legislation prompt a detailed analysis of the role of urban planning tasks, land management and cadastral activities in the formation of restrictions on land use.

Synergetic features of landscape and complex geographic categories


 
 
 The article examines the historical stages of the formation of scientific ideas about the essence of landscape and complex as the main categories of physical and economic geog- raphy. On the basis of the analysis and generalization of the leading physical-geographers’ and landscape scientists’ views the regularities of evolutionary transition of understanding the content of the landscape and complex categories from the system paradigm to the synergetic paradigm under the influence of humanistic ideas are reflected. It is stated that the landscape in a broad interpretation can be identified with the natural-territorial complex (NTC) of a certain rank, which is understood as a spatial and temporal system of geographic components, interrelated in their location and developing as a whole. The concept of territorial-production complexes (TPC) was substantiated and their typification was proposed. The factors of formation of the additional economic effect of TPC on the basis of territorial and organizational unity and mutually beneficial relations between its elements, as well as providing an integrated use and processing of raw materials and energy were determined. The key features of the concept of socio-geographical complexes (SGC), which were an important geographical tool in the search for the ways ensuring sustainable development of territories, were characterized. It has been established that the SGC concept is fundamentally different from the TPC concept by the vertical nature of the links between different types of economic activity within the system, and, in addition, by attributing to SGC not only material but also spiritual components of human activity. The character and qualities of the synergistic effect of space are analyzed. The synergistic properties of landscapes and complexes are described and their various categories within the concept of spatial synergy arising in those points of space, where the traditional mechanisms of human existence do not exhaust their potential. It is emphasized that based on the use of the synergistic effect mankind in the future will be able to develop effective mechanisms of management and territorial organization, which will open up new directions for the implementation of previously hidden reserves and properties of space.
 
 

The Role of Multimodal Transportation in Ensuring Sustainable Territorial Development: Review of Risks and Prospects

The Russian Arctic development is an investment direction, which is planned through a system of so-called “support zones” of various development degrees, it is a priority for Russia and can have a positive effect. Since integrated territorial development is associated with significant cargo flows of raw materials, materials and goods, logistics chains will include various transport modes, which will lead to the development of infrastructure (including the construction and reconstruction of seaports, the network of the railways and roads expansion) and the emergence of new international transport corridors (ITCs). A scientifically based solution to the problems of constructing a delivery route, including the location of transshipment points, logistics terminals and the rolling stock selection, will ensure the sustainable territories development through which ITCs pass. However, these tasks, which constitute the activity of organizing multimodal transportation, are associated with various types of risks, the successful solution of which, in this case, depends on the sustainable territorial development of these territories. Therefore, the research objective is to establish the relationship between the development of transport networks and the development of the Arctic region, the designation of possible prospects for the development of both multimodal transportation as a whole as a strategic event, and the contribution of each kind of transport, as well as the risks of creating and using international transport corridors, including cumulative impact on the environment. As a result of the literature analysis, we have considered the causes and consequences of the improper planning of supply chains and infrastructure, then we have indicated the role of new transport corridors in the development of territories. We have built a tree of problems in order to systematize risk situations and identify root causes and consequences. A method for calculating the cargo delivery time is proposed, taking into account the multimodality of logistics chains as well as measures that help reduce risks.

The role and place of land management in the strategy of social and economic development of the Russian Federation aimed at low greenhouse gas emissions

Recently, a lot of work has been done at the federal level to launch and implement the adopted strategy for the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation with a low level of greenhouse gas emissions (hereinafter referred to as “Strategy 2050”). Today we can state that the necessary regulatory and legal framework has been created. The next step is to analyze and, possibly, revise the role and place of the established scientific and technical disciplines for the implementation of the strategy. The article analyzes this role in relation to one of the oldest scientific and technical disciplines – land management. The historical stages of the formation of the discipline and its place at the present stage in urban planning are considered in this paper. Using specific examples, the article shows that strict adherence to the principles of urban planning is not always able to ensure the sustainable development of territories in accordance with the Strategy 2050. Hence, the importance of land management based on new principles taking into account ESG factors is increasing. Such a new direction is designated by the authors as a “carbon land management”. The article gives the suggestions for the theoretical and practical implementation of this new scientific and technical direction.

Sustainable development of the Arctic region: main theoretical aspects

Today, the Arctic is one of the most significant regions of the geopolitics of the world's leading states. The clash of their interests in the region creates the need to form the foundations for a theoretical understanding of sustainable development as the main ideological component of achieving effective economic growth in the Arctic. The object of research is the sustainable development of the Arctic region. The subject of the study is the theoretical basis of sustainable development in relation to the Arctic region. Special attention is paid to the study of supranational regulatory bodies of states in the Arctic and the legal basis for the use of these territories at the present stage, as well as the shortcomings of current approaches and proof of the need to develop principles of sustainable economic development in the region. The article analyzes modern approaches to sustainable development, characterizes the main interests of the main participants in the development of the region, and also puts forward proposals for the formation of principles of sustainable economic development in the Arctic, aimed at ensuring the economic growth of the region. The main conclusions of the study are: proof of the imperfection of modern regulation of sustainable development as an economic category, the abundance and overlap of the functionality of supranational organizations engaged in the sustainable development of Arctic territories and the need to develop new concepts of sustainable economic development of the region. The scientific novelty lies in the proof of the increase in the navigational importance of the region with climate change, as well as the economic potential of the region, which results in the activation of the political significance of the region for key world powers.

The best practices of using artificial intelligence in digital public administration systems of various countries are considered, the possibilities of using smart solutions in systems of sustainable development of territories, in analytics and intergovernmental transfers within the framework of regional development are described.

Local food governance and territorial development: the case of Echt Texels Lamvless initiative

Nowadays, agriculture and food policies are trying to re-organise and re-shape production, processing, and consumption of food in Europe. These regulations answer to different models and come from different regulatory actors, such as the State or the European Commission. They promote specific institutional frameworks that may support the creation of nested markets controlled by local communities or commodity markets controlled by agro-food empires. Our paper demonstrates that nested markets are the right response for market failures. They successfully support local food governance and promote sustainable territorial development through the collective management of the common pool resource (CPRs).

“Timeback” concept — the future of the comfortable urban environment

In modern urban life, especially in large cities and megapolises, the principle of time-saving for residents is becoming increasingly important. Residents should be able to get to work, studies, shops and other places where they spend their time quickly and conveniently. In current Russian practice, this principle is most widely applied in the updated concept of urban space development implemented by the Samolet Group — the company's innovative approach is implemented in the “timeback” concept, which provides methodological connection of all elements and directions of development within the target vector of sustainable territorial development. The analysis of competitiveness factors in the context of introducing the “timeback” concept into development practice leads to the conclusion that the introduction of the concept can improve the quality of housing and the level of service, as well as more efficient use of investment potential of the territory and solve the marketing tasks and product promotion. In the medium and long-term aspects, a comprehensive introduction of the “timeback” concept within the company's project portfolio can contribute to the formation of a positive reputation of the developer, its long-term competitiveness, and positively influence the regional market as a whole, contributing to improvement of the product quality and competition.

Стратегирование потенциала развития Арктических регионов с целью реализации политики импортонезависимости

The current sanctions, pandemic, and geopolitical situation demand new strategies and models of territorial sustainable development. The article considers the theoretical and methodological aspects of the innovative and industrial potential of the Russian Arctic as part of the ongoing import phase-out. The development potential of this macroterritory depends on the implementation of its human, infrastructural, financial, and industrial potentials. The author developed a five-stage algorithm of balanced indicators that assess the industrial and innovative potential of a region and applied it to the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation. The regions that revealed a below-average potential were tested for bottlenecks and acquired a sevenfold strategy for sustainable development. The research facilitates the assessment, decision-making, strategizing, strategy implementation, and road-mapping of the Arctic economy. Territorial management based on high-performance decision support systems is able to improve the economic activity of the Russian Arctic, boost its macroeconomic indicators, and increase the local social standards.

Creative and Rural Tourism, Public Policies and Land Use Changes: A Multi-Method Approach towards Regional Sustainable Development in Azores Islands

This research work aims to give an answer to three preliminary research questions: (RQ1) Are the land-use changes the footprint of the regional public policies conducted over a territory? (RQ2) Could rural and creative tourism be the catalyst for the regional sustainable development of island territories? (RQ3) Assessing the land-use changes dynamics and trends, is it possible to use new forms of tourism business to develop regional public policies? Through a multi-method approach, this paper examines the possible relationship between land-use changes and new tourism typologies as a potential catalyst for sustainable regional development in island territories, using the Azores Islands and some creative tourism projects as case studies. As some of the results show, a footprint of the regional public policies conducted over a territory can be observed through the land-use changes analysis. In addition rural and creative tourism could catalyze the regional sustainable development of island territories.
