Theoretical, applied and didactic aspects of research on the problem of sustainable development of regions and countries
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to consider the theoretical foundations, applied aspects, concepts and goals of sustainable development, as well as the study of factors and threats to the sustainable development of Pridnestrovie.
Main material. The authors conducted a brief analysis of the main stages of introducing the conceptual apparatus used to assess the degree of world stability as a whole, regions and countries.
Various approaches to defining the essence of sustainable development are considered. The author gives an extended interpretation of the "sustainable development" concept, which assumes that it is determined not only by environmental and economic aspects, but also has political, military, informational and other components.
Groups and particular examples of indicators that characterize the degree of sustainable development are given.
A list of factors that directly or indirectly affect the sustainability of countries and regions has been compiled and analyzed.
Hierarchical levels of research on sustainable development issues are highlighted. Emphasis is placed on the study of the features of ensuring sustainable development of regions.
Didactic aspects of studying the problems and mechanisms of ensuring sustainable development in educational institutions of different hierarchical levels are also considered.
The applied aspects reflected in the article include assessment and analysis of a number of indicators reflecting development sustainability of the Transnistrian region of post-Soviet Moldova.
Retrospective, modern and long-term threats to the sustainable development of the Transnistrian region are identified.
Conclusions and further research. Some tools (measures) to ensure long-term sustainable development in the context of globalization and high turbulence of the international environment are proposed.
Tools aimed at increasing the sustainability of the territorial units’ development of Pridnestrovie, the following are proposed:
- diversification and growth of industrialization of economic systems;
- preferential support for the development of high-tech material and energy-saving industries;
- differentiation minimization of financial and property stratification of the population;
- implementation of environmental standards and environmental management (ISO 14000) in industrial enterprises.
