Ecological and economic aspects of sustainable development of Ukrainian regions

Abstract

The need for sustainable development of Ukrainian regions is due to the global threat of environmental degradation, the unstable situation in the world economy, low socio-economic indicators of the country and weak innovation activity. An important factor that has an influence on the economic development of regions is the ecological state of the environment. It plays one of the most important roles in the conducting of economic activities that require the use of natural resources. According to the results of the investigation, four clusters were formed. Cluster analysis made it possible to conduct a general assessment of the state of the regions of Ukraine, to form groups by similarity and to draw sound conclusions about the existence of similarities in the economy. The formation of clusters and the development of sustainable development policies for individual clusters, which should have significant differences, taking into account their specifics, will contribute to the more effective achievement of sustainable development goals.

Assessment and Suggestions on Sustainable Development of Regional Ecological Economy Based on Emergy Theory: A Case Study of Henan Province

“…Our study found similar results, and that green and lowcarbon development is an inevitable requirement for sustainable development. Compared with the existing studies [39,40], this study has many advantages. First, emergy theory converts the energy that cannot be compared into the same unit, which directly reflects the relationship between the energy flow of each element in the system.…”

Relationship between Urban Land Use Efficiency and Economic Development Level in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Region

“…Therefore, based on China's basic national conditions and the objective needs of economic development [8], it is very important to study ULUE and analyze the relationship between ULUE and EDL for realizing the sustainable development of urban land and economy. For example, Babenko et al (2021) examined how the negative effects of land use and economic conditions affected the sustainable development of Ukraine [9].…”

Prerequisites and prospects for sustainable development of grain production in Ukraine

“…In addition, the issue of climate change is crucial to agricultural development, which can lead to significant losses in agricultural production (Kadiyevskyy and Klymenko, 2014;Babenko et al, 2021). On the other hand, the yield indicator is related to the level of ploughed land, which exceeds all admissible values in Ukraine (Kaminskyi, 2018).…”

“…However, while weather risks were able to induce food insecurity at the beginning of the research interval, such yield changes have almost no effect on food security, as the overall positive yield trend after 2003 has significantly improved the situation The model showed a significant positive contribution to grain yield (Table 3) of average precipitation in the March-May time interval, namely during the second growing season (х3). The null hypothesis (absence of this effect) is rejected at a significance level of 0.05 and a 1 per cent increase in precipitation leads to a yield increase of 0,06 hundreds kilograms per hectare: ̂= 11.99 + 0.05 1 + 0.06 3 (17) The practically oriented case of decreasing marginal utility of an agricultural input factors of production is considered (6,7). The econometric models are based on data on grain yields and the value of input factors of production (fertilizers, chemicals) for 1992-2017 (Table 4).…”
