The article identifies the main problems of sustainable development of modern Russian society (quality of life, demography, spatial development, welfare of the population, etc.). The key subsystems of sustainable development of regional socio-economic systems (economic, social, environmental, institutional) are analyzed. The role and significance of the institutional subsystem in the sustainable development of regional socio-economic systems is substantiated. The main reasons for the instability of the institutional subsystem of regional development are identified and a number of measures that need to be taken to improve the efficiency of the domestic economy are indicated. The author’s definition of the category “sustainable development of regional socio-economic systems” is presented. Based on the analysis, a graphical model of the interaction of key subsystems of sustainable development of the region is built. Based on the author’s interpretation of the classical production function, a functional dependence of the sustainable development of the regional socio-economic system on the combination of factors of key subsystems is proposed.

The article is devoted to the study of the role of infrastructure in the sustainable development of the economy, the investment of which makes it possible to ensure the achievement of social and environmental results along with economic ones. This type of investment has great potential in solving global problems of mankind, providing a positive impact on the economies of various countries. Mobilizing investment in infrastructure that catalyzes the improvement of environmental, social and political processes in economic systems stimulates the development of industries and often must precede this. The relevance of transformative investments is growing in the face of a lack of resources of governments of various states to address the priority problems of overcoming poverty, social inequality and reducing social tensions in this regard. Despite the fact that transformative investment is a relatively new topic, which is reflected in various discussions at the global level, the implementation of this form of investment to achieve the UN sustainable development goals in order to ensure a decent standard and quality of life for the population contributes to the creation of favorable conditions for interaction between countries.

In modern conditions, innovative activity is a special purposeful systematic set of measures to use innovative potential in order to achieve a new quality in the economic system in the process of ensuring its sustainable development. The implementation of innovative projects by industrial enterprises leads to disturbing influences in the form of innovative structural changes in the implementation of innovative structural units, affects the stability of economic systems and the effectiveness of their innovative activities. The presence of the legal grounds for changing the organizational structure of the enterprise in connection with the implementation of the activities aimed at the development of innovative goods and products is a prerequisite for the introduction of innovative units at an industrial enterprise. It should be noted that the regulatory framework governing innovative activity is quite contradictory and imperfect due to the lack of certain consistency regarding the definition of basic concepts and the existing conflict and inconsistency of legal regulation of relations in the field of innovative activity, so the relevance of its research and analysis is beyond doubt.  Keywords: legal fundamentals, innovative unit, industrial enterprises, sustainable development

The sustainable development of rural areas is an obvious and fundamental goal of the state policy of the Russian Federation. Improving the quality of life in each village, regardless of its distance from the regional center, is the main task of the regions. The article contains a termological analysis of the definition of “sustainable development of rural areas”. It was concluded that the dominant opinion of the authors on this concept is associated with a process that provides for the needs of residents of rural areas and increases their standard of living. The definition of a “mechanism for sustainable rural development” is given, which, through the methods and tools, implements the possibilities of natural, labor, material and financial resources for the effective development of rural economy. Sustainable and harmonious development of rural areas is possible only through the use of state support measures. The economic, environmental, social and demographic situation of rural areas, as well as their individuality, determine the need for continuous improvement of the mechanism of rural development through its methods and tools. The implementation of state support measures plays a significant role not only for rural residents, but also for leaders of agricultural organizations themselves. A decent and comfortable life in the village contributes to the consolidation of personnel. The importance of these aspects being recognized, the program “Integrated rural development” began to be implemented in 2020, which includes a sufficiently wide range of tools to support villages and rural residents. The program is aimed at reducing the gap in the quality of life between the rural and urban population, creating comfortable living conditions, reducing the outflow of residents from rural areas. As a result of the analysis, the potential and opportunities for the sustainable development of rural territories of Volgograd region were confirmed. These are the creation of conditions for providing villagers with comfortable housing, the development of various types of infrastructures, and the improvement of rural areas. The key directions of the mechanism for sustainable development of rural territories are identified: diversification of activities of the rural population, expansion of the possibilities of financial support for the development of rural territories through the public-private partnership involvement, improvement of preferential lending mechanisms, strengthening of grant support for rural communities for the improvement of rural territories.

Introduction. Currently, leading economists from different countries are paying more and more attention to the issue of ”sustainable development”, as this issue is currently relevant not only for the country's economy as a whole, but also at the enterprise level. However, because this is a multifaceted and complex category. Many questions arise around it and they remain insufficiently studied and require in-depth research. The purpose of the paper. The scientific literature contains different approaches and different interpretations of the concept of “sustainable development” each scientist interprets this concept in his research. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the historical aspects of the emergence of this concept, to summarize the existing approaches to the interpretation of the category of “sustainable development” and to provide their own understanding of this concept. Find out the main components of sustainable development at the macro and micro levels and provide their characteristics, as well as understand what factors influence the sustainable development of the enterprise. Results. This paper analyzes the history of the concept of sustainable development, notes the basic principles of sustainable development. The approaches of various scientific opinions to the definition of “sustainable development” have been studied, generalized and systematized. Using the experience of domestic and foreign scientists on the interpretation of the concept of sustainable development, defined their own vision of the essence of the concept, and defined the concept of “sustainable development of the enterprise”. The conceptual foundations of the theory of sustainable development, which see a combination of certain basic components, were analyzed. The paper describes the above components of sustainable development in terms of enterprise: economic, social, environmental. The main factors influencing the sustainable development of an industrial enterprise are identified. Conclusion. Thus, the needs of a market economy in modern conditions require more flexibility from enterprises, more policies that are «modern» and strategies of competition. This, in turn, encourages companies to seek new approaches to conducting their business. It is the trajectory of sustainable development of economic activity of the enterprise and is one of the key activities of economic entities, which will contribute to the effective results of this activity.

The recreational seaport industry carries out many critical functions, including transport circulation, logistics, commercial, and spatial ones. They influence local economic growth and determine the quality of recreational seaport. However, the definition of recreational seaport quality has remained elusive among the community, at present. Hence, this chapter explores the current literature by using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to derive at the definition of seaport quality based on three categories: seaport effectiveness, seaport reliability, and seaport governance, which will be main pillars for the development of marinas. This chapter proposes the Seaport Quality System (SQS) and Spatial Interaction Model (SIM) as a way to develop approaches and strategies that support sustainable planning and management of recreational seaports and marinas in countries with extensive coastlines. It is proposed that in order to offer sustainable and quality services, marinas must adopt the SQS model based on identifying and managing quality and risks. In addition, SIM can be utilised to improve the marinas operations by adopting key components in cruise activities, economic corridors and seaport regionalisation. The combination of both models are essential to enhance the growth momentum of marinas in this country.

Subject. The article explores the economic component of sustainable development through the classification of industries from the perspective of assigning the output goods to fixed or current assets, using different types of resources and assessing their condition. It considers factors of production affecting the achievement of the result and determining the development of economic systems at the meso- and micro-hierarchical level. Objectives. The aim is to assess the function of economic systems of different hierarchical levels on the tool-making facilities case. Methods. We apply an approach using general and special methods of comparative and statistical analysis, synthesis and analogies. Results. The paper analyzes the development of the Russian tool-making industry on the basis of resource-oriented approach to assess the functioning of economic systems at various levels. We review interrelations between resource use efficiency, types of sustainable development of economic systems at various hierarchical levels and strategic security of the country. Conclusions. Any development can be considered sustainable, if there is an increment in the intensive development of economic systems at all three levels.

The purpose of this study has been to identify the degree of sustainability in the development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury. The theoretical and empirical investigations were conducted between 2003-2014 based on data from the Local Data Bank. Using a comparative indicator method, 20 indicators were developed, with different directions of preference. The evaluation involves the concept of uniform preference, hence the higher the assessment indicator, the better the situation in the evaluated area unit. Our studies on the sustainable development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury suggest that the indicators measuring the environmental dimension and consequently the quality of life of the residents (in this aspect) score higher than the country's average values. It is also optimistic that some progress, however small, can be seen in this area based on the analyzed dynamics of changes.

AbstractWhile there is a growing effort towards AI for Sustainability (e.g. towards the sustainable development goals) it is time to move beyond that and to address the sustainability of developing and using AI systems. In this paper I propose a definition of Sustainable AI; Sustainable AI is a movement to foster change in the entire lifecycle of AI products (i.e. idea generation, training, re-tuning, implementation, governance) towards greater ecological integrity and social justice. As such, Sustainable AI is focused on more than AI applications; rather, it addresses the whole sociotechnical system of AI. I have suggested here that Sustainable AI is not about how to sustain the development of AI per say but it is about how to develop AI that is compatible with sustaining environmental resources for current and future generations; economic models for societies; and societal values that are fundamental to a given society. I have articulated that the phrase Sustainable AI be understood as having two branches; AI for sustainability and sustainability of AI (e.g. reduction of carbon emissions and computing power). I propose that Sustainable AI take sustainable development at the core of its definition with three accompanying tensions between AI innovation and equitable resource distribution; inter and intra-generational justice; and, between environment, society, and economy. This paper is not meant to engage with each of the three pillars of sustainability (i.e. social, economic, environment), and as such the pillars of sustainable AI. Rather, this paper is meant to inspire the reader, the policy maker, the AI ethicist, the AI developer to connect with the environment—to remember that there are environmental costs to AI. Further, to direct funding towards sustainable methods of AI.

Education must guide students’ emotional development, not only to improve their skills and help them achieve their maximum performance, but to establish the foundations of a more cooperative and compassionate society. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, therefore, implies focusing on emotional aspects as well as financial, social, environmental, and scientific objectives. In this line, the goal of this study is to show how emotional intelligence, which is an essential dimension in the development and management of emotional competences required to build sustainable societies, plays a key role in optimising student’s academic performance in the classroom through compassion and academic commitment. The research model was tested with a questionnaire addressed to 550 students from four higher education institutions and one secondary school. The results of a structural equation analysis confirmed the study hypotheses. Emotional intelligence was shown to be positively related to compassion and higher levels of commitment, which, consequently, led to better academic performance. This finding will encourage interest in developing emotional intelligence, not only for its long-term value in training healthy citizens, but also for its short-term results in the classroom.
