The adoption of ‘sustainable development’ concept by many countries of the world has drawn attention to the needs to  conserve and protect what has been identified as heritage. Due to their symbiotic relationship, the natural and cultural heritage needs to be conserved in an integrated manner, thus requiring integrated planning and management. The geopark concept introduced in 1999 provides this opportunity. The concept highlights the potential socio-economic development while conserving the natural and cultural environment. Because a geopark would contain different kinds of heritage a single integrated plan may help to avoid potential conflicts in managing them. Langkawi Geopark was established in 2007. Its multifaceted features and resources require that it be managed in an integrated manner to enable different stakeholders to be brought onto a common platform. This is to enable differing needs and interests to be taken into account without compromising the need for sustainable development.

In modern conditions, threats and risks are constantly emerging for the sustainable socio-economic development of various regions of the world, including Russia. In this regard, one of the most important is the problem of sustainable dynamic development of the country and its closest partner-countries, one of which is Mongolia. The article presents a historical analysis of international relations between Russia and Mongolia. The main points of the development of the economy of the RSFSR, the USSR and Mongolia after the signing of the coopera­tion agreement in 1921 are described. The analysis of the changed geopolitical conditions of the socio-economic development of Russia and Mongolia in connection with the collapse of the world socialist system and the unfolding modern economic crisis is carried out. The conducted research made it possible to conclude that it is necessary to develop a scientifically based medium-and long-term strategy for the socio-economic development of the country in the new geopoliti­cal realities. Recommendations on strengthening the role of the state in regulating the real sector of the economy and investment processes are offered. The study shows that the main directions of state policy in the field of sustainable development and national security, including food security, should be social, political and economic transformations for the sustainable development of the regions.

Sampling Procedures

Worldwide, cultural heritage has become both an element and a tool for achieving socio-economic prosperity.This study assessed the contribution of conservation of cultural heritage as a resource for the development of Lamu County. A descriptive survey design was used to conduct the study. Proportionate and systematic random sampling procedures were used to sample key informants and households selected from a sampling frame obtained from Lamu West and East Sub-Counties. An interview schedule and a semi-structured questionnaire were used to collect data from key informants and households respectively. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and narratives. The results revealed that cultural heritage conservation contributes to job creation both directly and indirectly. However, cultural barriers contributed to observed exclusivity in benefitting from income generated from tangible and non-tangible activities. Revenue gains from the cultural heritage are also limited by the poor state of sites such as Pate and Ishakani ruins. The study recommends development and implementation of training programmes in cultural heritage conservation activities to ensure the community is educated and empowered to utilize cultural heritage for socio-economic development. The Government should also institute proper revenue sharing mechanisms to enhance socio-economic development of the Lamu County community.

The article describes the methodological approach to the development of strategies of socio-economic development created by the authors on the basis of the analysis of the best practices of sustainable development strategies in the world. The methodology involves the use of ecological and economic (the solid core of the ecological economics, projects with integrated efficiency) and humanistic (indicators of “true well-being”, human experience at the center of change) principles, as well as the use of direct democracy tools (residents are co-authors of strategies, in-depth interviews, online polls with alternative scenarios). The use of this methodology while producing strategies for socio-economic development, including conducting surveys of the population in Kerch, Simferopol and Tolyatti, showed that residents choose the solutions that are laid down in the sustainable development strategies of the leading cities of the world. Surveys regarding the image of the desired future, sustainable city, sustainable mobility and sustainable urban environment showed that residents respond not only progressively and professionally, but also in a consolidated manner choosing the sustainable development path as the only desired vector for long-term development. The main party uninterested in the implementation of the sustainability agenda is a conservative bureaucracy focused on familiar and simple measures and decisions.

Cultural and natural heritages are considered invaluable resources, creating a unique tourist attraction for each country. However, knowing how to use this heritage for sustainable tourism development, while preserving and promoting the heritage value for future generations is not a simple task. This article focuses on the values of cultural heritage and the importance of maintaining and promoting it while integrating with the environment for the development of society. It discusses the current state of cultural heritage preservation and promotion in Vietnam, showing examples of development with disregard to the heritage and the environment, why it is necessary to have sustainable development in active culture conservation, as well as the relationship between the preservation, promotion of the cultural heritage and the socio-economic development and the environment. A perspective on the cultural heritage value in sustainable development is also given. Through the reading of supporting materials and the comparison of survey data, it is clear that the preservation of cultural values not only contribute directly to the socio-economic development of a country similar to Vietnam, but also to help create new values in later generations. Therefore, it is concluded that a sustainable approach to the conservation of cultural heritages is very important for the future handling of such irreplaceable resources.

For few decades, education has been receiving financial attention from the government and other concerned personnel in the society owing to the general belief that education is the key that opens great door of sustainable development to any country of the world; it is the major tool for individual, national, socio-economic development, poverty eradication and it should be adequately financed to have desired results. Unfortunately education is still underfunded in Nigeria despite enormous resources invested in it in form of allocations yearly. This has over the years exposed the educational sector of Nigeria to drastic ruin as a result of mismanagement of allocated resources and other functional financial fraudulent acts in the sector. Few years back the world experienced global economic meltdown (recession) which also led  the Nigerian education sector to struggle with meeting its financial obligations and while the nation was witnessing this, the unexpected outbreak of coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic occurred forcing the sector to experience extremely lack of finance to keep the sector moving. To justify this insinuations this paper reviewed the financing of the educational system in pre-covid and covid-19 era in Nigeria; what has changed over the years, the challenges associated with the changes and the way forward in form of recommendations.

Typologization of rural areas, taking into account differences in population density and level of socio-economic development, is necessary to identify “growth points” and strategic sustainability benchmarks. The method of integrated assessment of the level of socio-economic development of rural territories is proposed, according to which the grouping of Russian regions is carried out. Applying data on rural population density to the results of calculations allowed us to identify 12 typological groups, in the context of which unified recommendations on sustainable development of territories should be formed.
