In this paper we introduce the concept of ‘islands of sustainability’. The basic assumption is that the development towards sustainability can be introduced starting from sustainable islands'. An island is an area where sustainability is reached at a local or regional level. Exchange activities within the regional network and with the environment are key points in creating an island of sustainability. One of the main theses is that the concept of sustainability addresses not only the interactions between the economic system and the ecosphere, but also structural aspects of the anthropogenic system, such as the economic diversity and economic connectedness. Hence, sustainability is linked to the complexity of the regional network. In order to attain sustainability the intensity, the speed, and comprehensiveness of internal and external interactions, as well as the connectedness of the regional network, have to be changed. In this paper we examine the regional system. The structure, elements, interactions, and boundaries of the regional system are discussed in detail. This systems analysis is the basis of the definition of islands of sustainability. Once we reach sustainable development within islands, we then turn our discussion to the change of the whole unsustainable economic system. Islands of sustainability can be seen as ‘troublemakers’ which infiltrate the whole unsustainable system and act as cells of development.

Regional Settlement

The article discusses the issue of sustainable development of the regional settlement system and its elements (municipalities). The authors proposed the principles of territorial planning of the regional system of settlement and classification of the urban conflicts of motivations. Developed a theoretical model of sustainable development of regional systems of settlement, including the examination of particular characteristics of the territory, the definition of "code" identity of the territory, its adaptive development over time, identifying areas of conflict motivations and their solution in solving problems of territorial planning.

The subject of this study is the principles, factors and features of the green economy as a complex multicomponent system. It was important to clarify the ontology of the term “development” and to propose a methodology for filling the meaning of this term with a specific scientific approach, which consisted in identifying factors that shape directed, natural (regular) and inevitable changes as mandatory elements of development in the philosophical sense of the latter. The article analyzes different approaches to the definition of green economy, which gave the authors a reason to propose their own perception of the green economy as a socio-eco-economic system, which should be simultaneous under directed, natural (regular) and inevitable changes to ensure its development. The authors dwelled on the characteristics of each of the three mandatory changes. Directed changes in the green economy as a system were considered through the prism of seventeen goals of sustainable development (defining those for which the green economy “works” directly), which form new requirements for key components of the economic system: production, exchange, distribution and consumption. Regular changes are characterized as those that correspond or do not contradict the basic economic laws of the post-industrial era and form the ecological basis for the competitiveness of the economy. Irreversibility of change is defined as justified regulatory measures of strict environmental and economic policy, based on the methodological, proven by scientists, the principle of regulation in a mixed economic system and the abandonment of free market mechanisms (which “does not work” to achieve sustainable development). The authors have proposed a system-hierarchical approach to ensuring intermediate principles of green economy development as a system (direction, regularity and irreversibility of changes) and their integral effect on the quality of sustainable development of the social system as a whole. Further directions of research of system principles of development of green economy have been defined as well.

The Relationship

Approaches to defining the essence of the concept of sustainable development are analyzed; the definition of sustainable development in terms of "challenge", "response" basing on the provisions of the civilizational approach is suggested. The paper suggests considering the development to be sustainable if it provides the ability for society to form adequate "responses" to the "challenges" that arise in the process of civilizational development. Emphasis is placed on the necessity, in the context of the concept of sustainable development, of the transition from economic to ecological-economic system (hereinafter EES). Sustainable development of the EES is a development that combines the environmental, economic and social aspects of society. The necessity of forming sustainable development potential to achieve sustainable development goals as a set of different types of resources and other factors needed to achieve specific sustainable development goals is substantiated. At the same time, the continuity of the development is achieved without the quantitative growth of many traditional economic parameters and, above all, further continuous population growth, extensive economic growth and anthropogenic pressure on the biosphere. Based on the analysis of approaches to interpreting the concept of "potential", the methodological bases for forming the potential for sustainable development of ecological and economic systems are developed. The relationship between system resources and the potential of the ecological and economic system is studied. Ecological and economic potential is considered as a result of synergetic interaction of potentials of the main subsystems: ecological, social and industrial. This potential identifies opportunities for the development of a particular ecological and economic system to achieve the goals of sustainable development of the ecological and economic system as a whole and its main subsystems.

Governance Mechanisms

The article examined different views on population with a view to identifying major trends. Social processes that impede the transition to sustainable development within existing governance mechanisms have been identified. It is noted that due to the high social dynamics, the exit from the "modernization trap" is to be sought both by territories with high natural growth of the population, and economically attractive regions with indicators of natural decline of the population. At the same time, social dynamics in different territories in modern conditions involve the risk of its use for the benefit of different social groups and can act as a manageable factor. In order to increase the sustainability of development, in resolving the contradictions of the existing socio-economic system, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of agricultural territories and to develop self-sufficient models of their development.

The complex of potential factor determinants and motivational factors of de-evolutionary development of the national socio-economic system at the present stage of its functioning are determined. The methodological substantiation of the specificity of modern processes of state development of Ukraine on its key meta-spaces is accomplished. The formalization of the interconnection and interdependence of spatial management of natural resource assets has been made on six planes: ideological; political; spiritual-moral and politico-ideological; institutional; value-ideological; the goal is conceptual.

The conceptual and analytical approach to the definition of an integrative base of sustainable development of territories is proposed, which is based on the idea of construction of economic space and creates real conditions for the establishment and deployment of territorial economic integration. It is proved that the effect of the realization of the economic meta space of the state is influenced by the factor of reorganization of the regional map by cascading format of consolidation of industrial-economic, inter-sectoral and interregional interaction. It is recognized that it is expedient to take into account European economic-statistical principles when creating ten territorial economic and economic districts, the format and scale of which will correspond to the key principles of the liberal-social market model of spatial development.
