Актуальность исследования обусловлена растущей на протяжении последних десятилетий популярности вопроса устойчивости развития. В результате растущего потребления и производства особенно острым становится вопрос сохранения экосистемы. Другим следствием этого роста является то, что расслоение между сверхбогатыми и бедными людьми все больше растет, приводя к проблемам социального характера. Ограниченность ресурсов ставит новые вызовы экономической науке. Для решения задач устойчивого развития необходимо проектирование системы комплексных оценок состояния устойчивости или, другими словами, методов интегрального оценивания состояния устойчивого развития. В связи с этим, статья посвящена анализу существующих методов системного анализа и оценки территориальной устойчивости развития. Подробно разбираются критерии оценок, их релевантность задаче оценки состояния устойчивости, на их основе формируются критерии эффективной интегральной оценки устойчивости развития региона. Приводится анализ методов системного анализа, используемых в интегральных оценках, а также их методологический обзор. В результате проведенного исследования сформулированы методологические требования к проектированию интегральной оценки устойчивости развития, а также необходимые методы для проведения такой оценки. Результаты данного исследования могут быть основой для проектирования интегральной оценки устойчивости, устойчивости развития, ресурсного потенциала, а также работ в области междисциплинарных исследований, включающих в себя методы системного анализа, экологии, экономики, социологии., The relevance of the study is due to the growing popularity of the sustainability issue over the past few decades. As a result of increasing consumption and production, the issue of environmental protection becomes particularly acute. Another consequence of this growth is that the stratification between the super-rich and the poor is deepening more and more leading to social problems. Limited resources pose new challenges to economic science. To solve the problems of sustainable development, it is necessary to design a system of integrated assessments of the state of sustainability or, in other words, methods of integral assessment of the state of sustainable development. In this regard, the article is devoted to the analysis of existing methods of system analysis and assessment of territorial sustainability of development. The evaluation criteria are analyzed in detail, their relevance to the task of assessing the state of sustainability, and the criteria for an effective integrated assessment of the sustainability of the region's development are formed on their basis. The methods of system analysis used in integral assessments as well as their methodological review are considered. As a result of the conducted research, methodological requirements for the design of an integrated assessment of the sustainability of development, as well as the necessary methods for conducting such an assessment, are formulated. The results of this study can give a grounding for the design of an integrated assessment of sustainability, sustainability of development, resource potential, as well as papers in the field of interdisciplinary research, including methods of system analysis, ecology, economics, sociology., МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ, ОПТИМИЗАЦИЯ И ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ, Выпуск 1 (40) 2023, Pages 15-16

This article discusses the issues of improving strategic management of sustainable development of enterprises of the Russian Federation. The management of many companies continues to demonstrate an inadequate attitude to the development and implementation of a system of measures to ensure the proper level of sustainability of an industrial company. The main problem considered in the study is the insufficiently perfect mechanism for the strategic management of the investment policy of industrial enterprises in the Ural region of Russia. The management of many enterprises does not conduct a comprehensive assessment of sustainability and does not rely on the triad of sustainable development indicators&mdash, economic, environmental, and social. This negatively affects the strategic management decisions made. Under an insufficiently perfect mechanism, in this study, we refer to the following: At Russian regional enterprises, there is no close connection between the processes of making strategic decisions and the investment policy of the enterprise. This leads to certain errors in the formation of the enterprise strategy. The connecting element of these processes is highlighted. It is a comprehensive assessment of sustainability. The main objective of this study is to improve the model and mechanism of strategic management of the investment policy of the enterprise in the context of the environmental and economic status of the business. The proposed model is based on the principles considered from the perspective of three directions&mdash, economic, social, and environmental. This model provides for a close interconnection of components: management decision-making, investment policy development, and comprehensive assessment of sustainable development strategy. Based on the analysis of scientific works, the practice of managing industrial enterprises and certain gaps have been identified in theoretical sources related to the topic, problem, and objectives of the article. The methodological base of the study is determined, and methodological aspects of the analysis of the ecological state of business projects and the formation of strategic management of investment activity of an industrial enterprise are substantiated. The model for managing sustainable enterprise development is presented. This model provides for close interaction between the mechanisms for developing strategic decisions and managing the investment policy of the enterprise based on the environmental component of the business as a factor in sustainable development. Tools are proposed that ensure interconnection and synergy between the components of strategic management of the investment policy of the company and improve the quality of management decisions.

Today sustainable development is a widely used term, which has been increasingly influential in recent years. Debates about sustainability no longer consider sustainability solely as an environmental concern, but also incorporate economic and social dimensions. However, while a social and economic dimensions of sustainable development are widely discussed, environmental degradation becomes more and more crucial each year and is likely to reduce human well-being all across the world within the next few decades. The purpose of the paper is to analyse ecological ‘pillar’ of sustainable development, its historical background, main steps towards implementation of ‘new global environmental rules for society. Methodology. The paper is based on statistical information from public sources, reports of different international organizations and institutions, which are used to stress and underline main crucial points of research. Results of the survey show, that environmental quality, economic development and social well-being are interdependent and the main aim of international institutions, independent countries, businesses and society is to achieve environmentally sustainable development. Environmental issues make strong impact on modern economy. Responsible global strategy of development provides the whole society with rules, how ‘wise’ technological changes and economic policy can make industrial production processes less polluting and less resource intensive but yet more productive and profitable. Practical implications. Strategy of sustainable development and it’s three basic dimensions have found practical implication in one complex model, which illustrates the level of development of each country – the Human Development Index, which is focusing on three basic dimensions of human development: life expectancy at birth, mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling and gross national income per capita. Another data, which is used on the basis of sustainable development indicator’s’ is Environmental Performance Index – method of quantifying and numerically marking the environmental performance of a state's policies, which was designed to supplement the environmental targets set forth in the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. All these indicators and indexes should be a platform for modern successful socio-economic development of Ukraine. Value/originality. The theme of sustainable development has long history and levels of development, but yet it is very popular and important for each country and the world as a whole. Many issues of this strategy of development depend not only from governments, but from the engines of economic growth – companies. Today the aim for businesses is to create higher standards of living and quality of life, proper ecological situation in the communities in which they operate, while still preserving profitability for stakeholders.

Tourism in Mexico has been boosted as one of the most important economic activities, and is now trying to diversify its market by offering different types of destinations. In the context of sustainability, concern arises for authorities and society in general about the search for balance of the tourist destinations in the country. As a result of the effort and the sum of the will of three levels of government (Federal, State and Municipal), Local Agenda 21 for Tourism in Mexico was born. This instrument presents a Sustainability Indicator System to evaluate tourist destinations in Mexico. Through the evaluation of four major themes: Environment, Socioeconomic Environment, Tourism and Urban Development, the current situation of tourism in Mexico is diagnosed. This paper analyzes the results of the application of the Sustainable Development Indicators (SDIs), promoted by the Ministry of Tourism (SECTUR) in eighty-four destinations during the period of 2002-2007, from the length and breadth of the country. The best-positioned tourist destinations are categorized as Medium Cities. Paradoxically, coastal tourist destinations are in the middle. The worst condition is found in the tourist destinations of nature. The results show better performance indicators for urban development, while the higher pressure is in the environmental areas.

International audience; Indicators of sustainable development (SDIs), societal progress and wellbeing are perceived as informational tools vital for sustainability governance. The literature has thus far overwhelmingly concentrated on improving the technical quality of the indicators, while the role of these indicators in policy processes remains under-researched. Drawing on literature concerning policy evaluation and assessments — aswell as the emerging literature on the interplay between indicators and policy — this article identifies a number of issues central for the role of SDIs in governance processes. It draws attention to the multiple indirect pathways through which these indicators exert their influence, highlighting the conceptual and political roles of SDIs. The conclusions outline a number of trade-offs and ambiguities inherent in the use and developmentof indicators.

In the XXth century the concept of public welfare was associated with economic growth and its rate. It was assumed that the economic growth provides society with the needed tools to solve its ecological and social problems. Theory attempted to explain the most important factors influencing economic growth and its efficient management. Yet it was discovered that the market economy system is not capable of solving society’s problems. The new type of world society and economy requires the rapid formation of processes, which reflect changing consciousness of the population. These processes include the rapid development of information technology, globalisation, which highlighted the significance of the environment, and the formation of social movements. Moreover, all the issues arising due to rapid changes can be rationally solved in a sustainable way. The analysis of methods used for evaluation of sustainable development has demonstrated that there is a lack of studies devoted to the assessment of sustainable development at the enterprise level. The most common problem encountered while assessing sustainability of the enterprise at the national and regional levels are the inadequate indicators. These should be based not only on the economic, environmental and social dimensions but as well on the technological and institutional dimensions. Another problem is the unreasonable number of the chosen indicators, which do not represent its distinct significance. This paper analyzed the problems of the concept of sustainable development and its implementation at different levels because the progress can only be made when there are challenges to overcome. The concept of sustainable enterprise was analyzed, followed by a discussion of importance of assessment of sustainability in the enterprises with its positive and negative aspects. Guidelines for future research were also established.

Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos The complexity of the problems deriving from urban environments has required a deeper and more integrated understanding of the reality of these environments as an essential step toward solutions. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability of principles of sustainability in the process of monitoring the socioenvironmental conditions of this medium. To gain a better understanding of the ideas surrounding the perspective of sustainability, the different meanings ascribed to the term, as well as the complementary issues and aspects that interact in this world of considerations are discussed. Thus, basic conceptual elements were sought that would contribute to build aproper definition for use within the context of this work, which in turn allowed for an outline to be made of its essential characteristics and general guiding principles that were then employed to analyze a given set of indicators. Different reflections and proposals regarding the instruments used to evaluate urban conditions were examined to identify a set of variables defining the basic characteristics of projects and implementation. A critical systematization of three previously selected experiences the Agenda 21 Indicators, the Seattle Indicators and the Belo Horizonte Urban Life Quality Index led to the elaboration of an analysis based on the general principles of sustainability and on the set of variables existing in the process of creating, formulating and monitoring these indicators. This analytical repertoire allowed for a definition of the potential represented by these instruments, offering the basic references for its development and implementation in different contexts. A complexidade dos problemas decorrentes do meio urbano tem exigido uma apreensão mais precisa e integrada da realidade como passo essencial no encaminhamento de soluções. O objeto central deste trabalho é a investigação da aplicabilidade de princípios da sustentabilidade nos processos de monitoramento das condições socioambientais existentes neste meio. Para um melhor entendimento das noções que gravitam ao redor dessa perspectiva sustentável, abordou-se a discussão de diferentes acepções atribuídas ao termo, bem como as questões e os aspectos complementares que interagem neste universo de considerações. Buscou-se, assim, a obtenção dos elementos conceituais básicos que contribuíssem na construção de uma definição própria a ser empregada no contexto deste trabalho. Tal procedimento permitiu o delineamento das suas características essenciais e dos seus princípios gerais de orientação que foram posteriormente utilizados na análise de determinados sistemas de indicadores. O exame de diferentes reflexões e proposições acerca destes instrumentos de mensuração das condições urbanas viabilizou a identificação de um conjunto de variáveis que define as características básicas dos projetos e implementações. A sistematização crítica de três experiências distintas previamente selecionadas - Indicadores da Agenda 21, Indicadores de Seattle e o Índice de Qualidade de Vida Urbana de Belo Horizonte - propiciou a elaboração de uma análise referenciada pelos princípios gerais da sustentabilidade e pelo conjunto de variáveis presentes em um processo de criação, formulação e monitoramento dos indicadores. Este repertório analítico permitiu a verificação do potencial representado por este instrumental oferecendo os referenciais básicos para o seu desenvolvimento e implementação em diferentes contextos.
