Many Polish cities have objects in them that have ceased to function in accordance with their intended use, for one reason or another. These are often post-industrial objects and former military facilities. As a result of the social, political and economic transformations that have taken place in Poland over the years after the Second World War, these objects have lost the meaning of their existence and functioning. Quite often such objects also have a historical character, which may, under Polish law, serve to hinder the possibility of them being reused. A well prepared revitalisation is often the only way for such objects to regain their earlier functionality, or gain a new one. Selected examples of the revitalisation of historic buildings located in Olsztyn (the capital of Warmia and Mazury, the Voivodeship in North-East Poland) were analysed by the authors in this article, and the effects of such actions, connected to the development of the city, were presented. The study included examples of the revitalisation of post-industrial objects and former military facilities. The analysis was performed in the years 2010–2016. The history and previous functional status of the tested objects were presented, as well as their present form and function. The authors have performed a comprehensive analysis of the compliance of new functions of objects with the idea of the sustainable development of the city. The results show the extent to which the analysed activities comply with the principles of sustainable development, in social, economic and environmental terms.

Improving national social protection systems is a major task for all governments. This they can do through an effective implementation of the sustainable goals also called the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main purpose of social protection is to reduce poverty, economic shocks and vulnerability. This article examines the extent Nigeria has gone to in order to promote sustainable goals through the Social Protection Floor Initiative. The article also delves into the justiciability of socio-economic rights in Nigeria and in other jurisdictions like UK, India and South Africa which are commonwealth countries like Nigeria. It further recommends ways by which Nigeria can, through the Social Protection Floor Initiative, fulfil its obligations towards the attainment of the SDGs. A major conclusion of this article is that the Social Protection Floor Initiative is an important means for the government to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, and an important aspect of this is ensuring the enforcement of socio-economic rights. Without implementing the Social Protection Floor Initiative, the Sustainable Development Goals mantra will be restricted just to TVs in Nigerian homes without any corresponding impact on the masses.

The author presents the concepts of sustainable development in Poland on the example of Rzeszow, from the legal analysis to the social concept. Sustainable development is a process of change that ensures the needs of the present generation without diminishing the development opportunities of future generations. The area development of cities is closely related to the sustainable development. For this reason, in the further part of the study, a short genesis of the development of Rzeszów is presented, with attention paid to the maintenance of sustainable development. In conclusion, the author shows the de lega ferenda conclusions, such as: the city authorities should pay more attention to the issue of introducing certain restrictions in the field of CO² emissions by reducing vehicular traffic in the city center, finding alternative means of public transport. The construction of large housing estates on the areas newly connected to the administrative borders of the city also seems to be reasonable. With a balanced area development of the city, it is important to enact and introduce an appropriate spatial development plan.

Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, this working paper applies a new costing model to analyze the costs associated with social protection in 30 Asia and Pacific countries. Using the Social Protection Reform Simulation (SPRS20) model, the authors seek to estimate the cost of delivering standardized social protection packages through the emergency (2020), recovery/transition (2021–2023), and the remaining duration for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (2024–2030). This paper anticipates further demand and need for social protection for considerably large sections of the population. It aims to foster further research and discussion on social protection in Asia and the Pacific and aid countries in strategizing for the future.

The aim of the article is to analyze risks in the social sphere and their impact on the development of society in Ukraine. Increasing the impact of risks in the sphere of demography, employment, remuneration, etc. in the context of sustainable development has been determined. The conducted research shows that the risks related to the labor sphere and the health of the population are the most aggressive and dangerous for the safety (as shown by the coronavirus pandemic) because protracted problems in the political, social and economic spheres are accompanied by job losses, economic decline, low wages for more than half of the working population. In view of the ambiguity and uneven economic development of the administrative territorial units of Ukraine it has been determined that education and knowledge can become a factor that can lead to the activation of innovative changes and reduce the negative impact of social threats. For this reason, the most important requirement for the sustainable development of Ukraine is the formulation of a social policy, based on an effective system of methods aimed at preventing risks and reducing probability of their occurrence.

The paper proposes a model for calculating the integrated ecological and economic indicator, which has considerable potential for application as a reliable instrument for the expenditures harmonization for environmental and social purposes, namely gender and social interactions, as part of the sustainable development paradigm implementation at the regional level. It has been shown that the use of three-factor functions (factors of industrial development, environmental investments and structural changes in the economy) allows obtaining more relevant results for making managerial decisions by more accurate description of real processes. It has been proved that the social component ought to take into account the gender peculiarities of regional development and be reflected in decision-making procedures of local authorities, namely, the gender components of the region's development have to be reflected in statistical reporting and be subject to the requirements of the Sustainable Development Goals, which are officially approved by the Ukrainian government. Gender interactions have to be the subject to a comprehensive study of region sustainable development based on increasing the social significance of attracting vulnerable strata of the population to active labor and political activities, increasing the efficiency of "social lifts", forming stable equal relations between territorial communities of different levels of economic development and financial capacity. The main task is to find the balance of interests between the needs of certain types of economic activity development in the region, the development of social parameters and the need to preserve the environment. It has been noted that the most effective means of finding this balance is the corresponding economic and mathematical instrumentarium. Moreover, the necessity of such interaction realization on the conditions of balanced support of the national economy functioning in terms of reproductive, technological, activity-specific and external macroeconomic proportions determines the use of the balance-sheet method of "input-output" and balance-based models build upon it. Therefore, the actual issues of scientific and practical support of sustainable development process implementation at the regional level identify the tools for taking into account the influence factors on social policy in the context of the principles introduction of such development. The study of specific cases of the ecological and economic modeling methods use to substantiate effective social policy at the regional level has considerable real possibilities for detailed elaboration, which also results in the use of separate mechanisms of ecological and economic modeling for the needs of effective social policy conduct at the regional level.

The sustainable development of regional economies directly depends on the stability of systems (political, social, economic and environmental) both in international terms and by the subjects of any country. In the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the stability of regions is primarily determined by science-based state policy, the priority of which is aimed at improving the standard of living of the population. A highly effective state policy makes it possible to improve the quality of life of the population, economic growth, and solve social problems of society, regional and municipal entities. The social sphere in the modern market environment is one of the largest segments of regional economic development. The economic role of the social sphere consists in the ability to increase the per capita monetary income of the population, reduce the share of the population with incomes below the subsistence minimum, the level of unemployment, morbidity, etc. A well-developed social mechanism is necessary for the effective implementation of all social processes. Thus, the article examines theoretical approaches to the concept of a social mechanism for sustainable development of the region's economy in a market environment, which allowed us to formulate the author's definition and recognize the "social mechanism" as a planned impact on each individual in social processes, in order to achieve significant results aimed at stable economic development. It is highlighted that a mechanism is a system that has a negative and positive impact, has a certain structure and performs clearly defined functions. A structural and functional model of the social mechanism is proposed, which includes five elements, each of which is necessary to achieve the goal of regional development. Based on the structural and functional model, the authors propose the features of the influence of the social mechanism on the solution of urgent problems of regional economic development in the market environment. The priorities of state support for the regions are justified, which should be based on the formation of an effective functioning of the social mechanism, which will contribute to the sustainable development of the region's economy and make them financially stable and independent.
