Stakeholder Approach to the Regional Sustainable Development: Empirical Study

“…In our study, we consider regional SD as a process of continuous qualitative changes, ensuring the growth of population well-being, social justice and environmental security. The provision of balanced social, environmental and economic development is impossible without the direct involvement of the population, business and regional government in the processes of regional change (Nikiforova et al, 2018;Pomeranz & Decker, 2018;Sartori et al, 2014). Each of these subjects has distinct economic interests as well as particular financial, innovative, natural and other resources, participates directly in the economy and might have a significant impact on regional sustainable development (Alibašić, 2018;Kurganov & Tretyakova, 2020).…”
