The concept of the circular economy has become well known for its solution-oriented approach to transforming available resources into a closed-loop resource system. However, in the context of coastal areas, coastal resources seem to be ignored in the tourism production and consumption process. In relation to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this article discusses how sharing economy practices may sustain coastal resources through ecotourism, applying a sharing-economy theory that emphasizes changes in the new form—a circular economy—rather than a single traditional Airbnb model or ecotourism model. This study proposes a coastal sustainable development structure model based on the integration between the sharing economy and ecotourism with three modes—positive economic effects, positive economic pressures, and sustainable coastal development—and uses coastal residents’ expectations of their living conditions as moderating factors to investigate the impact of the circular economy on coastal sustainability. We developed a survey-based model that included 303 samples from the indigenous residents of 13 provinces throughout the Vietnam Mekong Delta. The results show that the integration of ecotourism with the Airbnb model has a positive effect on residents’ living conditions, supporting sustainable local development. However, the advancement of technology and residents’ awareness involves barriers to coastal development because the process of modernization is still limited in coastal areas. More specifically, in the case of the Vietnam Mekong Delta, our results suggest that limited technical knowledge and language ability stand as barriers to coastal businesses, showing that the lack of inter-regional connectivity limits the magnitude of local tourism in coastal areas. These findings are useful for assessing residents’ living conditions so that coastal development can work towards poverty reduction. Finally, the establishment and expansion of policies by local authorities can be an indispensable part of coastal economic development by limiting the negative effects of the abuse of natural resources and facilitating family businesses in coastal zones in an effort towards the integration of economic development and social and environmental responsibility.

General Functioning

Energy security is at the top of the international political and economic agenda due to its importance for the economic and social development of individual countries, for relations between them, for the global economy and the environment. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine an area where countries are more interdependent than at the confluence of energy, environment, and economic development. Energy security has implications for domestic and foreign policy. This means the interdependence between producer and consumer, where mutual vulnerability and a win-win opportunity are short-term and long-term. The work systematizes the types of energy with the goal of sustainable development: the balance of economic, social, and environmental components, through a model of a circular economy, which allows achieving energy security. The first step is switching from carbon-based energy (oil, gas, coal) to clean energy (solar, wind, hydropower, etc.). However, it is also important to act on the principle of energy efficiency, which is to measure the difference between the actually used energy and the total energy consumed (often higher due to losses). The principle of the circular economy of achieving the most efficient use of resources is the most essential for the development of innovative solutions aimed at the transition to clean energy. Having studied the various approaches by comparison and analogy, we can conclude that the Concept of the circular economy offers effective business models to ensure environmentally friendly resource use, contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals of society. The article used historical and statistical methods, as well as a system approach to the study of economic phenomena, which helped to identify the relationship between all elements and their roles in the general functioning of the circular economy. Using the method of comparison and scientific modeling, the role of the circular economy in resource-saving, minimizing waste and reducing pressure on the environment is revealed, while achieving significant economic and social results in energy security.

The article considers the problem of training professionals in a fundamentally new direction for Ukraine, namely professionals in circular economy; reveals the economic essence and meaning of the concept of «circular economy»; historical aspects of its formation are analysed; importance for sustainable development of society, the environment protection, human health. Circular, or closed-loop economy – a model of economic development, the basis of which is the rational use of resources and their recovery; it is based on extending the product life cycle, restoring resources, recycling, switching from fossil fuels to using renewable energy sources. Thus, a regenerative, regenerative and integrated circular economy aims to support sustainable economic development without harming the environment. The article concludes that the implementation of the ideas and principles of the circular economy requires the training of professionals of the new formation with the appropriate level of environmental awareness and understanding of the needs of sustainable development of society. Such specialists must not only have a perfect economic education, but also understand the issues of production, be able to respond quickly to the problems of environmental protection and human health, and have an active civil position. In the leading countries of the world professional training of experts in circular economy is already carried out. It is absent in Ukraine today. Thus, in the conditions of growing consumption, accumulation of mass of waste, which cannot be quickly processed in the natural environment and have a harmful impact on the environment, the problem of professionals training in the circular economy in Ukraine needs an immediate solution.

Globalization and technological progress call for more efficient supply chains, with economic, social and environmental factors becoming increasingly important. It is possible to solve problems, in particular of ecological nature, which arose during the industrial revolution, and with the existing model of economic development, thanks to the application of the principles and approaches of recycling logistics. Realizing the scale of the negative consequences of the existing model of economic development, it is necessary to move to a new modern environmentally friendly model of green, circular economy. The evolution, goals and features of the circular economy as a modern optimal direction of development are considered. The main approaches to understanding the essence of the circular economy - flow and system - are highlighted and it is proposed to add a synergetic one, which provides for interdisciplinarity and integration through different industries. It is proved that the result of the introduction of a circular economy is to increase the competitiveness of the national economy through energy and resource conservation, reducing carbon emissions, creating new jobs, modernizing the structure of the economy, changing business models. The need to manage logistics support for the development of innovation cooperation is substantiated. Sustainable development of the national economy requires destructive changes and radical innovations, and the ability to ensure this due to adaptation to the circular economy becomes relevant for innovation cooperation. The integration of sustainable development and business development offered by the circular economy model is needed.

Resource-based city has many characteristics of urban sustainable development, but because of resource's gradual depletion, population explosion and the depravation of natural ecological environment, it is more special in the road of sustainable development. The sustainable development of resource-based city has more urgency, complexity and difficulty, so traditional linear model of economic development has been unable to realize its sustainable development. Building on circular economy characterized by closing material cycle, to achieve the harmony of human and nature, the economic development and environment protection win-win strategy goal is an inevitable trend.
