The socio-economic development of the country is the goal of every state. An important element in achieving this goal is the availability and application of a macroeconomic generalizing indicator that reveals the purpose of public policy. The main aim of the study is to identify the socio-economic characteristics of the organization of life in the countries of Scandinavia, using the macroeconomic generalizing indicator RAZ (the name of the indicator is based on the first part of the Russian word “razvitie” translated as “development”), proposed by the authors. The authors consider this indicator as suitable for cross-country comparisons of the quality of life and an objective estimation of development of the society from the point of view of focusing on the maximum disclosure of person's abilities and personal development. The research was based on the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization and modeling, as well as on the case-study method. The use of these methods made it possible to identify the characteristics of the socio-economic organization of life and characteristics defining quality of life (human birth, education and medical care) in their composition, and also the indicators corresponding to them characterizing qualitative changes — levels of human birth rate, education and medical care. The generalized estimation of the specified characteristics defining quality of life, it is offered to make by means of a macroeconomic generalizing indicator. For its calculation a set of the quantity indicators defining quality of life (population in the country, number of the persons trained in an education system and number of healthy people) is generated. The authors make an assessment of the macroeconomic generalizing indicator and the set of the quantity indicators defining quality of life (the population in the country, the number of healthy people and the number of people studying in the education system).The study has developed an approach to calculating defining quality of life indicators using the System of National Accounts according to the data of the European Bureau of Statistical Research and the official websites of the national statistical services of the countries of Scandinavia and Switzerland as a country that has indicators close to the leading values of the countries of Scandinavia. These estimates can be used for comparative analysis purposes. The study compiled a rating of countries according to the macroeconomic generalizing indicator. According to calculations, Norway occupies a leading position. The lowest rank is observed in Sweden. There are changes in the quality of life in society, and this complex phenomenon requires an objective assessment. Generalizing indicator of the development provides such an assessment. The indicator allows us to evaluate the set of characteristics that determine the quality of life, which is not yet taken into account in cross-country comparisons, and to compare them. It has been established that the lack of development of the conceptual apparatus and the unavailability of important statistical information complicate the principle of compiling the indicator and lead to an inaccurate calculation of the macroeconomic generalizing indicator at this study stage. Nevertheless, it was found out that the calculation could be made in relation to the following levels: humanity (world), country, region or city. Further research is planned to study substantiation of the conceptual device of formation of RAZ as indicator for cross-country comparisons of quality of life and an objective estimation of development of the society, as well as for using it as a modelling element of social and economic systems. Besides, it is necessary to develop additional characteristics that take into account the influence of a person’s life expectancy on the quality of his life, as well as in clarifying the conceptual apparatus for forming a macroeconomic generalizing indicator RAZ for building a rational organization of people's place of residence. This approach creates new theoretical and methodological foundations for scientific knowledge of the socio-economic development of the countries and allows us to analyze the quality of life as a base which moves development of the countries in different historical periods and to see the development of the world in the future in a different way.

The system of regional development and the conceptual apparatus of the term “region” are analyzed. Modern problems of local budgets are revealed. The focus is on the low level of financial capacity of local budgets, which affects the state of solving current socio-economic problems, as well as the independence of local governments. At the same time, there are examples of inefficient use of budget funds, which are allowed by budget managers at the local level, which negatively affects the achievement of priority goals of socio-economic development of territories. Attention is focused on the need to improve the quality of management of managers and recipients of budget funds, including the use of program-targeted budgeting method. Emphasis was placed on the need to expand the tax capacity of the regions in filling local budget revenues. Emphasis is placed on the expediency of better use of budget policy instruments in improving the effectiveness of budget expenditures, ensuring sustainable dynamics of socio-economic development of regions, which will improve the level and quality of life.

Integrated Indicators

The socio-economic development of the territory is determined by many parameters of both economic and social nature. Some of them may indicate positive trends, whereas others point at negative ones. This situation makes it impossible to draw an unambiguous conclusion about the vector of changes in the region or municipality. In such conditions, it is important to define integrated indicators that would comprehensively assess the situation on the territory in question. One of these indicators is the living standards. In single-industry towns, which are special objects of attention and management, monitoring the state and changes in the quality of life should become an important tool and a parameter of monitoring the socio-economic situation. It is important to analyze not only the objective, but also the subjective components of the living standards in the community. The paper substantiates the approach to living standard assessment with the help of statistical and sociological markers. It features specific indicators of the living standards and conditions, the integration of which makes it possible to obtain an adequate assessment of the quality of life in a municipal formation, including a monoprofile one.

Water as an engine for development. Water is the key to socio-economic development and quality of life, and therefore an essential factor to be properly linked to other development factors. Water was also one of the five priority issues at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg. Reaching the Millennium Declaration's ambitions to halve, by 2015, the number of people suffering from poverty, hunger and ill-health cannot be accomplished unless water and sanitation services are organized in a manner that effectively improves livelihood security, including food security.

Topicality. In today's socio-economic development, companies are finding the way to find new ways to increase their competitiveness. Also, in view of the global development trends and the latest documents, the socio-economic elements are becoming more and more relevant, which give a new experience to the person and provide an increase in quality of life parameters. Formation of modern trends and the transition to a new type of management, characterized by the increasing importance for a person to gain a special impression (experience) in the acquisition of a particular product or service, through the use of material or intangible production. Price competition changes weight, because a person is ready to spend big money to gain special experience, incl. from natural diversity. Therefore, the economy of impressions / experience, which is focused on consumer sensations and reflects the latest processes and phenomena of the post-industrial stage of development of society, is becoming increasingly relevant. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to determine the theoretical basis for shaping the situation of the experience economy in light of the world trends and goals of the Millennium Development, defined in international documents. Research results. Taking into account the current trends of world development, the experience economy should become a component of inclusive growth on the basis of harmonization of interaction between society and the natural environment, social inclusion. Such guidelines can also be noted as key in the document Basic Principles of State Environmental Policy of Ukraine until 2030. At present, there is a mismatch between state legislative documents and regional development strategies. There is no clear detail of actions at the level of regional development plans. Thus it is necessary to distinguish priority directions of development of the economy of impressions in the structure of development of territories taking into account its functional features (recreational tourism, industrial, agricultural) and introduction of ecosystem approach for all directions of socio-economic development. To this end, it is necessary to highlight the basic principles of the economy of experience, taking into account the basic principles of sustainable development adopted at the UN Conference on Environment and Development.Conclusion. The study identified the origins and prerequisites of forming an impression economy. The author defined the essence of the notion of impression as a component of the impression economy, investigated existing approaches to determining the category of impression economy, analyzed the global trends in the development of the economy in terms of impressions, substantiated the use of natural resources to obtain positive impressions and improve quality of life. According to the authors, modeling the preconditions for the development of the economy of impressions can be understood as ensuring the health and socio-aesthetic development of man, the inclusion of society, the introduction of ecosystem approach that will promote inclusive growth and conservation of its natural resource potential. All kinds of natural resources (mineral, climatic, aquatic, land, forest, recreational, etc.) have a direct influence on forming an impression in the process of consuming the service and in the perception of the quality of life of a person. Therefore, it can be stated that natural resources are an essential component of the impression economy.

Socio Economic Development

One of the main characteristics provided in the framework of strategic planning of the socioeconomic development of regions is the quality of life. The growth of profits and the increase in consumption increases the burden on the environment. The purpose of this article is to analyze the ecological, hydrocarbon potential, the quality of life of the population in the subjects of the South of Russia, to assess the prospects of their changes in the strategies of socio-economic development. The authors use statistical, tabular, qualitative factor analysis, ranking. The materials of the article are a database of regions of the South of Russia in terms of the environmental, hydrocarbon footprint, quality of life, generalizing economic indicators. The paper accumulates information on Krasnodar krai, Rostov, Astrakhan, Volgograd regions, the Republics of Adygea and Kalmykia. The ecological and hydrocarbon footprint varies by region in different ways. The authors have made a rating of the best regions. The factors of the obtained changes are determined. It is found that the quality of life is determined by the volume of GRP, GRP per capita, gross fixed capital accumulation, the actual final consumption of households. Qualitative analysis shows how these factors affect the ecological and hydrocarbon footprint. It is necessary to break the link between the growth of production and the deterioration of the environmental situation. This is possible due to the development of “green” technologies. The analysis of strategies of the social and economic development of the regions of the South of Russia shows that at large volumes of GRP and the developed industrial sector, subjects of the Russian Federation form “green economy” in different branches, at low level of development – only in the sphere of renewable energy. The authors conclude that the developed strategies of socio-economic development of territories do not fully contribute to overcoming ecological and economic contradictions. The authors have formulated proposals to reduce them.
