While there has been a growing awareness of environmental issues in recent years, there has been little attempt to integrate environmental policy with economic development issues. This paper argues that this is an issue which should be addressed by local authorities and suggests ways in which local authorities could begin to move towards sustainable local economic development.

Ecosystem Approaches

The aim of the article is to introduce the up-to date approaches to the functioning of the compensation mechanism for the refund of the losses from ecosystems pollution and to elaborate proposals for its implementation in the local environmental policy. The paper identifies the main aspects of the formation of a compensation mechanism for refund of the losses from pollution and degradation of ecosystems at the local level, types of compensatory relations in the environmental sphere, levers of influence of local authorities and business on the implementation of an effective compensation mechanism. Ways and methods of compensation for the refund of the losses from the ecosystems decontamination are structured and instruments of the economic mechanism of compensation at different territorial levels of management are classified. It is proposed to take into account the configurations of reproduction processes in the territory ecosystems while introducing a compensation mechanism for the losses from their decontamination. The compensation mechanism for ecosystem decontamination losses at the local territorial level is proved to be a special type of institutional agreement as to protection and sustainable use of ecosystem services and ecosystems at the local level and adjusting the distribution of costs and benefits between different players and stakeholders mainly via economic means. The priority reforms in the sphere of liability for damage to ecosystems to form a compensation mechanism for compensation in Ukraine are outlined. Prospects for introduction of a compensation mechanism for the refund of the losses from the ecosystems decontamination at the local level are outlined. The reform of decentralization and extension of the local powers allows for the development and implementation of the regulations at the local level that would establish a procedure for the accumulation and use of compensation costs for the destroyed community ecosystems restoration. It will contribute to the receipt of significant compensatory financial resources in local budgets for communities, to be directed exclusively for the compensatory measures.

This study uses descriptive statistical method to analyze the income and life qual- ity of 397 farmer households who are suffering social exclusion in an economic aspect out of a total of 725 households surveyed in five Northern provinces of Vietnam in 2010. The farmers’ opinions of the impact of the policies currently prac- ticed by the central government and local authorities to give them access to the labor market are also analyzed in this study to help management officers see how the poli- cies affect the beneficiaries so that they can later make appropriate adjustments.

The fi nancial relationship between central and local government can be defi ned as a system that regulates how some funds were divided among various levels of government as well as how to fi ndsources of local empowerment to support the activities of the public sector.Fiscal decentralization is the delegation of authority granted by the central government to theregions to make policy in the area of   fi nancial management.One of the main pillars of regional autonomy is a regional authority to independently manage thefi nancial area. State of Indonesia as a unitary state of Indonesia adheres to a combination of elementsof recognition for local authorities to independently manage fi nances combined with the element oftransferring fi scal authority and supervision of the fi scal policy area.General Allocation Fund an area allocated on the basis of the fi scal gap and basic allocation whilethe fi scal gap is reduced by the fi scal needs of local fi scal capacity. Fiscal capacity of local sources offunding that comes from the area of   regional revenue and Tax Sharing Funds outside the ReforestationFund.The results showed that the strengthening of local fi scal capacity is in line with regional autonomy.
