This article aims to consider key concepts and models from the theory of social systems that can be used as a theoretical basis for conducting cultural and anthropological research. Based on the analysis of a number of authoritative sources, attention was focused on the activity approach, which takes into account the role of the elements of the system (a person, specific communities and groups) in its functioning and change. In addition, the issue of the dynamics of social systems of different types (classical, nonclassical and postclassical) was analyzed, which allows you to pay attention to the transformations taking place in a modern multicultural urban society or the traditional society of an ethnic village, to identify their regularity, to fix the direction. Also in this work, models of social transformations in culture are considered - Westernization, destabilization, assimilative-religious, and in our opinion the most effective is the modernization-traditionalist model, the elements of which contribute to the preservation of traditional value dominants and allow you to develop a program for the sustainable development of a state, region or small territory in the global world.

Heterogeneous Features

In recent historical studies of modern East Asia, the issue of migration has received increased scholarly attention. This article traces recent historiographical and methodological trends by analyzing influential English-language works on modern East Asian migrations in the first half of the twentieth century. Modern East Asian migrations during this period present dynamic and heterogeneous features as results of modern social transformations, such as the development of global capitalism, national and global economic integration, the emergence of new transportation and communication technology, and the expansion and collapse of the Japanese empire. Accordingly, the historical works on modern East Asian migrations we examine display a variety of historiographical and theoretical approaches. Specifically, this article underscores important trends or comparable emphases in these studies, including the growing scholarly interest in transnational/regional border crossing movements, migrants’ subject formations in the new environments, and the methodological interest in the role of culture, political economy, and the environment. Thus this article offers a reflective overview of the ongoing development of migration studies centering on modern East Asia.

This article considers the city as a complex social system, a highly developed urbanized area, a place for the development of the economy, politics and the performance of economic functions. The authors suggest a system of elements that contribute to the sustainable development of the city and which includes monitoring the degree of political and public participation and commitments, governance models and mechanisms, processes and their improvement, policies, plans, strategic programs, governance mechanisms, a maintenance mechanism for the financial independence of cities and institutions. Considering that, the spatial structure of the city occupies a significant place in residential development, a comparative analysis of the state of the construction of cities in Russia and Bulgaria is given. A conclusion was drawn about various approaches to the development of industrial housing construction in Russia and European countries. The experience of Russian factories in the modernization of house building was considered.

Traditional Understanding

The changes taking place in the modern world under the influence of globalization processes leave a serious imprint on the development of social systems contributing to the of a new era formationбwhich is associated with the temporality dominance. To develop in the desired evolutionary version, the states need implementing various social transformations under rapidly changing conditions. It is well known that both spontaneous and projected transformations are based on certain ideas, which, as a rule, are created by networks of intellectuals, and only then are implemented in practice – most often by powerful actors. Thus, the work objective is identifying the role of intellectuals in ensuring the possibilities of the evolutionary variant of the modern society development. To achieve this goal, the author uses own synthetic methodology, as well as an analytical-descriptive method, pragmatic and sociocultural approaches. The work shows the difference between an intellectual and intelligent man. It determines the essential characteristics of intellectuals. Practical examples show the diverse functions performed by intellectuals who go beyond the traditional understanding of «advisers to the authorities». The paper shows real opportunities that intellectuals can realize in a particular society; presents the risks of brain drain caused by non-attention to intellectuals and their inability to exert any real impact on the processes of social transformations.

Systemic Corruption

The health sector often appears prominent in surveys of perceived corruption, because citizens experience the symptoms of systemic corruption most distressingly during their interaction with frontline health workers. However, the underlying drivers of systemic corruption in society may be located in other social systems with the health system demonstrating the symptoms but not the path how to exit the situation. We need to understand the mechanisms of systemic corruption including the role of corrupt national and international leaders, the role of transnational corporations and international financial flows. We require a corruption definition which goes beyond an exclusive focus on the corrupt individual and considers social systems and organisations facilitating corruption. Finally there is an urgent need to address the serious lack of funding and research in the area of systemic corruption, because it undermines the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in many low income countries with the most deprived populations.

The paper outlines major preconditions of development of energy efficiency programs and the process of their introduction from the perspective of sustainable development concept. Energy saving measures of European Union are examined, its experience and results, like green books and Thermie programs, etc are analyzed. The paper also specifies relevant activities and responsibilities undertaken by Member States by 2030 and the rates planned to be achieved. The experience of neighboring Poland in energy efficiency promotion is analyzed, as far as the country most closely resembles Ukraine by the initial rates in 1990. We calculated conditional losses of Ukraine in 2017 as the gap between the rates of energy efficiency of Ukraine and Poland (similarity of climate conditions and the state of housing funds allowed us to assume that the comparison will be the most correct regarding Ukraine). The results of calculations make us conclude that the funds are used most efficiently if the money designated, for example, for subsidizing of population are directed at strengthening of energy efficiency (at least up to the level of neighboring country). It will result in saving of about 40 billion. This is the amount defined as Ukrainian capacity in terms of improvement of energy saving and possible results of its realization. The paper determines the stage Ukraine is at in introduction of energy efficiency measures and programs: “warm loans” program; conditions regarding energy saving in Ukraine enshrined in the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement; creation of legal basis, namely the Law of Ukraine “On Energy Efficiency Fund” as of 8 June 2017. The role of newly created Energy Efficiency Fund is analyzed. Special attention is paid to the fact that energy efficient construction is one of international liabilities undertaken by Ukraine. The presence of The Active House Alliance at Ukrainian market is an important achievement in this sphere as it is the non-profit association aiming at creation of housing concept corresponding to the sustainable development principles.

Reflection about the role of community engagement and corporate social investment in Brazil, associated with the presence of a large economic enterprise, is the major stimulus of this chapter. It seeks to present how cross-sector governance can contribute to the social development of a city and how this process can be led by a partnership comprising a corporate foundation, government, and civil society. The concept of the public–private social partnership (PPSP) is explored: a strategy for building a series of inter-sectoral alliances aimed at promoting the sustainable development of territories where the company has large-scale enterprises, through joint efforts towards integrated long-term strategic planning, around a common agenda. To this end, the case of Canaã dos Carajás is introduced, a municipality in the State of Pará, in the Amazon region, where large-scale mining investment is being carried out by the mining company Vale SA.
