Modern Approaches to Assessing the Impact of Investment Projects on the Socio-Economic System of the Region

Abstract

The issues of socio-ecological and economic interaction of society, nature and business, the consequences of the implementation of investment projects on the socio-economic system of the region are considered. The concept of the socio-ecosystem of regions and business entities of the region is revealed. A critical review of approaches to the socio-economic assessment of investment projects in the following areas is presented: scientific-theoretical, regulatory, practical. The importance of making decisions on providing support for the implementation of investment projects, taking into account the criterion of social responsibility of the initiator of the project, is substantiated. The characteristic of the social responsibility of the initiator of the investment project is given. The development of new approaches to the definition and assessment of the social and environmental impact of the implementation of an investment project on the economy of the region is proposed, which, unlike existing approaches, will allow us to assess both the potential losses from the project for the socio-ecosystem of the region and the contribution to improving the welfare of society.
