| description | The article is devoted to the study of ecological and socio-economic environment as well as the development of effective
methodological tool for the assessment of its stability. This tool allows to ascertain the level of economic activity of the regions
within the limits of the sustainability of biosphere. In the article, the regional system is considered as the total of industrial
enterprises, social infrastructure and natural environment creating a specific territorial ecological and socio-economic
environment, whose stability depends on the level of economic activity measured by the capacity of territorial ecosystem. The
use of a technique for the comparative assessment of the energy indicators of economic activity creating a specific ecological
and socio-economic environment of the region as well as of the indicator of the ecological capacity of the territory is proved.
The ecological capacity of the territory enables to better estimate the level of the sustainability of the region within the limits
of sustainability of biosphere. This method allows to forecast the development of the studied territory by the measurement of general energy flow on the basis of closed material and energy flows. The research revealed an indicator of the sustainability of
ecological and socio-economic environment of Ural Federal District. Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District is the most stable, the
Chelyabinsk region is the least stable, which is associated with both natural conditions and the specificities of economic structure.
The labour productivity indicator, expressed in energy units, has revealed regions with rich natural resources. It was found that
in these regions, there are significant material flows in the electricity industry that leads to a large proportion of greenhouse
gas emissions. The assessment of the demographic capacity fully correlates with the calculations of the stability indicator of
the regional system and the analysis of labour productivity in the region. In the future, these methodological tools will allow
to develop a model of the management of a sustainable ecological and socio-economic environment of the region, taking into
account the environmental capacity of biosphere |
