Background: The realisation of large-scale plans of Russian infrastructure development, transport in particular, requires a corresponding methodological guidance for both planning of realisation of these tasks and development of the proper financing instrumentarium. Aim: The analysis of reasons for incompliance of programme tasks with their financing conditions; formalisation of investment trends in todays economy and description of their capability to adapt to Russian projects. Methods: The method of rising from concrete to abstract and vice versa has allowed identification of important regularities of investment trends and their connection with the quality of projects; the systems principle has confirmed dependence of successful realisation of infrastructure projects on reliability of economic development forecasts and adequacy of projects financing and management. Results: The analysis of ongoing changes of state priorities and programmes, outlined in a large number of documents regulating development of transport infrastructure in Russia, has allowed identification of influence of most significant regularities, which determine effectiveness of these solutions. All available transport infrastructure project financing sources have been systemised, considering investment volume and their status in the market. The statement that it is exactly the loan-based financing sources, concession in the first instance, that can be the most efficient in infrastructure projects realisation, has been confirmed.

В статье рассматриваются основные направления социального развития Республики Адыгея в условиях нарастания вызовов экологической безопасности. Отмечается, что структуру экологической безопасности региона формируют система эффективного природопользования, механизмы сохранения биологического и природного разнообразия территории и экологические инструменты поддержания здоровья населения. Подтверждается тезис о том, что обеспечение экологической безопасности является одним из основных показателей эффективного управления субъектом РФ. Обосновывается необходимость учета современных экологических стандартов при разработке и выборе модели социально-экономического развития региона. Анализируются меры государственной политики в области развития транспортной инфраструктуры, направленные на ослабление деструктивного воздействия экологических вызовов на качество жизни населения республики. На основе генерализации результатов социологических исследований, проведенных в регионе в период с 2008 по 2021 гг. органами государственной власти и авторским коллективом, оценивается отношение населения к экологической ситуации в Республике Адыгея. Делается вывод о целесообразности разработки комплексной программы социально-экономического развития с учетом специфики природно-биологического ландшафта региона и совершенствования экологической культуры как инструмента обеспечения экологической безопасности и высокого уровня качества жизни населения. The paper discusses the main directions of social development of the Adyghea Republic in the context of increasing challenges to environmental safety. The structure of environmental safety of the region is formed by a system of effective environmental management, mechanisms for preserving the biological and natural diversity of the territory and environmental tools for maintaining public health. The authors confirm the thesis that environmental safety is one of the main indicators of effective management of the subject of the Russian Federation. The need to take into account modern environmental standards in the development and selection of a model of socio-economic development of the region is justified. The publication analyzes measures of state policy in the field of transport infrastructure development aimed at reducing the destructive impact of environmental challenges on the quality of life of the population in the republic. Based on the generalization of the results of sociological studies conducted in the region from 2008 to 2021 by state authorities and the author's research team, the attitude of the population to the environmental situation in the Adyghea Republic is evaluated. It is inferred that it is advisable to develop integrated socio-economic development taking into account the specifics of the natural and biological landscape of the region and improve ecological culture as an instrument to ensure environmental safety and a high level of quality of life for the population.

A typical feature of transport infrastructure projects is that they are expensive and take a long time to construct. Transport infrastructure financing has traditionally lain in the public domain. A tightening of many countries' budgets in recent times has led to an exploration of alternative resources for financing transport infrastructures. A variety of models and methods can be used in transport infrastructure project financing. The selection of the appropriate model should be done taking into account not only financial resources but also the distribution of construction and operating risks and the contractual relations between the stakeholders.

Economic Significance

In the article, the authors analyze the current state and prospects for the development of the transport infrastructure in the countries of East Africa. They provide latest data on projects in pipeline. Today, Africa is a dynamically developing continent with powerful economic, demographic and resource potential that will have a tangible impact on world development in the 21st century. The large-scale transformations that are taking place on the continent require an outstripping pace of infrastructure development, which, despite the success achieved, still does not meet its needs. While total capital investment in infrastructure projects in African countries in 2018 reached record level, the lack of funding remains one of the key obstacles for the development of African infrastructure. The COVID-19 pandemic that swept the world in 2020 will further exacerbate the existing gap between investment needed and investment required. The economic potential of many infrastructure projects will decline. However, according to the authors, the negative impact will not be so large-scale due to the long-term nature of the contracts, as well as the socio-economic significance of the projects. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that in the context of an epidemiological crisis, both national and foreign investors who invest in the development of regional infrastructure seek to share their risks by attracting new financial partners. This situation opens up additional opportunities for Russian companies and enterprises to enter long-term and capital-intensive infrastructure projects in East Africa, which can become a solid basis for building Russian-African economic relations.

Transport infrastructure development is considered one of the basic structural preconditions of competitiveness, growth and economic development in Slovakia. Transport network upgrading in the country has recently been focused mainly on road and motorway networks. The goal of this paper is to contribute to existing approaches to transport infrastructure impact assessment. The paper presents selected results of qualitative research focused on an analysis of the R1 expressway (as a part of TEN-T network) and its impacts on the economic, social and environmental dimensions of life at the local territorial level. The paper also seeks to answer the basic question, whether and to what extent the new section of the expressway brings any stimuli to regional or local development. Qualitative research realized by field sociological methods has shown new data and information necessary for a complex assessment of transport infrastructure impacts on social and economic development of regions. We assume that these impacts should not be based purely on mathematic and statistical research methods.

‘Risk' is a major point of focus in the literature on resettlement and reconstruction associated with the impacts of major infrastructure development on project affected individuals and families. Previous approaches to risk appear to emphasize the negative consequences of development, and it is no wonder then that project affected people often emphatically resist development and change. This paper proposes that a more pro-active, positive opportunities and benefits approach be taken in dealing with resettlement and reconstruction associated with large scale infrastructure projects. The discussion is focused on the eight ‘risk factors' (or ‘opportunity factors'?) listed in the well known ‘Impoverishment Risk and Reconstruction' (IRR) Model. Three more such factors are added to the list based on field experience in South Asia. The point is that by emphasizing the potential opportunities and benefits, project affected people are more likely to be supportive of projects that may disrupt their lives. Key words: Resettlement, opportunities, risk, IRR model, South Asia, infrastructure development  doi: 10.3126/hn.v3i0.1912 Hydro Nepal: Journal of Water, Energy and Environment Issue No. 3, January, 2008 Page 9-15
