Specific examples of using this method for the analysis of socio-economic development of the urban sociogeosystem of Kharkiv region and for analysis of health care system development of the district sociogeosystem of Volyn region are given.

The existing economic model leads developed and developing countries to a stalemate. The global financial crisis of 2008–2009 revealed the instability and fragility of the current economic model. We can observe the consequences of the crisis (and its continuation) up to the present time. The problem is worse in those economies where the real sector of the economy has been steadily declining during recent years. The great dependence of developed countries on the global financial system, and, in particular, the IMF, causes unemployment to increase, deskills the working-age population, reduces the level of social welfare and aggravates problems of social tension. As for developing countries, they face the problem of attracting investors to the real sector of the economy. The latest economic and social crisis shows the high level of interdependence and demonstrates that all national economies are a united economic system, and that sustainable development is possible only if all work together.

This paper aims to critically evaluate the microfinance approach in social and economic perspective. Critical analysis reveals that microfinance can be used as an efficient tool to reduce poverty, thus contributing towards economic as well as social development. Moreover, paper highlights the role of institutional design and indicates that microfinance institutions working on the lines of non government organizations and following the double bottom line approach performs better than the other institutional frameworks. Joint liability and the role of group leader are eminent in enhancing the performance of these institutions. Poverty can be decreased if microfinance institutions are driven in a more systematic manner keeping in mind primarily the well being of society.

The research analyzed social and economic development around Chao Lake as well as changes of water quality in Chao Lake and explored the relationships of local population and GDP with water chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), chlorophyll and eutrophication index. The results showed that population around Chao Lake and GDP kept growing from 2001 to 2013, and water quality was improving. In addition, correlation analysis indicated that except of water eutrophication, GDP and population showed inverse correlation with other indices, demonstrating that water quality has been effectively controlled in Chao Lake recently.

В статье исследованы теоретико-методологические основы формирования понятия «экологическая модернизация социально-экономического развития». Учитывая направления использования общеупотребительной категории «модернизация», автором сделаны выводы о необходимости выделения такой трактовки понятия экологической модернизации, которое бы способствовало охвату всех стратегических целей устойчивого развития в регионе. В рамках данного исследования рассмотрены теоретико-методологические и процессные особенности становления экологической модернизации социально-экономического развития, предложено ориентиры экологической модернизации социально-экономического развития региона в контексте «зеленого» роста. The aim of the article. The aim of the article is to study the theoretical and methodological bases of ecological modernization of socio-economic development of the region. The results of the analysis. This paper studies scientific basis of transformation processes for sustainable development, which is important at this time. Considering direction of the history of sustainable development concept, the author emphasizes that if to follow the basic guidelines to upgrade social and economic systems to «green» economy, then it can expected results of ecological modernization. It will save funds due to forewarned of economic damage from pollution and environmental cost savings compensation «rehabilitation» resources and territories. Moreover, prevention of anthropogenic pressure increases the chances of social systems to improve the quality of life and improve the health of the nation. From economic point of view, clean production is more competitive. This study considered the theoretical and methodological bases of ecological modernization of process of socio-economic systems in a region that involves making special reference points of development. Ecological modernization is a prerequisite for ecologically transformation based on quality eco-oriented reforms in social and economic systems. Ecologically safe transformation of socioeconomic development means certain progressive changes (intersystem, and intersystem synergistic) and transformations that are strategic in view of eco-focused goal-setting. Such understanding provides for: 1) understanding of transformation as a process which is already identified in environmental trend of socio-economic system; 2) spatial certainty of eco-oriented reforms in connection with certainty qualities of the future development of the system. Arguably, it can and should lead to the structural changes in innovation for sustainable development. Conclusions and directions of further researches. It is shown that today special attention should be paied to the issues of the theoretical and methodological bases of ecological modernization of socioeconomic development of region. It is becoming more apparent that the main vector of ecologically innovative transformational changes not associated with the introduction of total treatment facilities, but with increasing system efficiency and social standards. Taking into account the using of category «modernization» the author concluded that it is necessary to allocate such an interpretation of the concept of ecological modernization, which would support the inclusion of all the strategic objectives of sustainable development in the region. This study examined the theoretical and methodological features of forming the process of ecological modernization of socioeconomic development. Environmental improvements of targets of socio-economic development of the region in the context of green growth are proposed. They are: forming ecologically reproductive mechanisms of social and economic development; improving the quality of life of the general public access to natural resources and ecosystem services; development of optimal institutional infrastructure socioeconomic system of the region; forming a package of eco-modernization of goal-setting changes in socio-economic development; formation of economic shifts the modernization of management tools for green growthaddressing regional socio-economic problems and reduce regional disparities. Further researches should be addressed to developing new methodological approaches to the development of environmental metrics modernization of socio-economic development for green growth in the region with further evaluation of the process.

From a theoretical point of view, the authors have grounded a new paradigm of theoretical planning of land management, which is based on space definition of a complex of factors of rational use of the existing land resources in correlation of interests of subjects-land-users and corresponding land relations in the terms of support of a balanced social-ecologic-economic environment. From a methodological point of view, the authors have proposed a set of methodic approaches as to determination of mechanisms of arrangement of the process of territorial planning in land management according to institutional fundamentals of land relations harmonization at different space levels of management. It is proposed to consider planning of land use as an obligatory and logically inevitable stage of the process of territorial space management that is determined as a primary link, because it specifies aims of the management. It is proved that effective territorial management of land resources and land-use is caused by its territorial planning, which determines the aims of an object development and activity of a managerial subject. A regional link of management should secure the supply of appropriate conditions for living standards of population, effective utilization of territorial resources and development of mutually favorable inter-regional relations. Implementation of efficient regional policy on the basis of market mechanisms requires further improvement of institutional fundamentals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We extend the Common Agricultural Policy Regionalised Impact Modelling System ( CAPRI) with a regional computational general equilibrium ( CGE) model to estimate the effects of the Pillar II of the Common Agricultural Policy. Our aim is to assess the modeling approach by comparing the scenario results with observations from the evaluation reports for rural development, supplemented with expert interviews and findings from the literature. For this purpose, an ex-post scenario is developed for Germany that models the effect of the Pillar II measures in 2006. We observe a moderate impact, namely, an increase in agricultural income (5%) and agricultural land use (0.15%), particularly grassland, and a substitution of arable land with grassland. This effect leads to a total increase in agricultural production, particularly of beef, and to an increase in total greenhouse gas emissions and total nitrogen surplus for Germany. Greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient surpluses per ha, however, are reduced. We observe that farm investment programmes displace private investment. The evaluation reports confirm the moderate impact and our major results, as does the comparison with other literature. However, the conclusions about agri-environment measures and their impact on income differ. The most important difference between our results and the evaluation reports and majority of the present literature is that we also quantify the joint effect between the whole economy and policy measures, with some contradictory effects.

Competitiveness contributes significantly to the dynamic development of European prosperity. Thus the competition policy is the area of economy which determines the development of the European Union Member States. In the field of innovation and technology European Union focuses on supporting the overall competitiveness of European industry. The biggest expenditures in the sectors are intended mainly for scientific and technological research, which in turn increases the overall technological cooperation with businesses and lead to increased amount of innovation in industry. The European Commission proposes a new approach to competition policy, supporting the dynamic growth of the economy of the European Union. The competitiveness of the entire European Union would benefit from the industrial growth that would increase the job creation followed by higher social and economic development and living standard of EU inhabitants. New approach of competition policy focuses mainly on its standards such as antitrust, merger control and state aid control measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sustainable development is conceived on a long-run term and it reffers to that reasonable answer in fulfilling the needs of the present generations, without compromising the future of the generations to come. The concept involves a triple dimension: economic development, social fairness and inter- generation equity. Far from abstract concepts, the provocations of durable development falls into the realities of the world, illustrated by the three stakes: water, health and educations. The free modern market is a state invention, and its rules are not imposed naturally, but are the results of political arrangements. The field of international trade is not a simple game with "zero sum". The trade improves the well-being of some nations, but there also losers. Until now, the world trade has only function in an asymmetric manner, allowing for the products from the developed markets to enter the markets of the developing countries, but without a proper reciprocity. It is desirable an economy for the XXI century, an economy that it is synchronizing with the Earth and its natural sustaining resources, not one that destroys them. The key element in restructuring the economy is to make the market to reflect the true prices, all costs included. The strategy Europe 2020 propose a new economic vision, able to help EU to exit the crisis and to build an intelligent economy, sustainable and favoring inclusion, with high rates of occupancy, productivity and social cohesion.
