Synthetic Assessment

Applying sustainable development into practice is an important national and regional policy goal in Slovenia; in addition, the country’s membership in the European Union further commits it to the goals of sustainable development. The research presented in this article is based on the use of a set of 32 economic, social and environmental indicators of sustainable development and the calculation of a synthetic indicator of sustainable regional development for all twelve Slovenian NUTS-3 regions in the period 2015–2019. In the final step, a synthetic assessment of the possibilities for implementing sustainable development in individual Slovenian regions is given, in which regions are classified into four different types. A comparison with the previous five-year period showed that Slovenia achieved progress in most of the socio-economic aspects of sustainable development analyzed, while the situation deteriorated with respect to environmental aspects. The largest differences among Slovenian regions were calculated in the economic area, and the smallest in the environmental area, which is also in line with the findings of previous research. There continues to be a development divide between the more prosperous western part of the country and the eastern part, which lags behind and for the most part also has poorer prospects for sustainable development. This trend is unfavorable for the balanced as well as sustainable development of Slovenian regions.

State Regional Policy

The model of long-term planning of sustainable regional development in the context of providing a effective state regional policy is developed in the article. The received model is simulated and it’s involves the coordination of macro and micro indicators of sustainable development. The GRP value is calculated with the forecasted values of these indicators, and then their equilibrium is estimated which is possible, as was noted above, on the basis of the Gini coefficient. This allows to receive an agreed forecast for all indicators. To ensure the effectiveness of the state policy influence on sustainable development is possible by systematizing the activity and formalization of the state regional policy and improving its organizational, legal and methodological support, in particular, correction of the defining and adjusting parameters of the sustainable development in the scale of separate regions and the state. Since the normatively fixed criteria for evaluating such a development differ significantly among themselves (applied for the quarterly and annual evaluation). The main stages of planning of regional development processes in the social and economic directions are specified. In view of them, information and analytical technology is built. The forecasting technology should provide a refinement of the system of indicators of the sustainable development of regions and expansion of those indicators that are necessary to describe the conditions of this development in relation to the state as a whole. In our view, the realization of this task should take place provided that the correlation analysis of the indicators is applied. The choice of a method of research of development of regional processes is proved. The adequacy of the model of long-term planning of sustainable regional development in Ukraine is estimated. The results received are the basis for working out of a complex of actions for indicative plans and monitoring of the development of the state regional policy.

The study aims to explore the policy of halal tourism as an instrument for regional development on the island of Lombok. The main problem of halal tourism policy, in addition to the inadequacy of the legal basis for tourism, is an unclear institutional position of halal tourism. This creates a further question on how to manage halal tourism to maximize its contributions. By using policy theory and a qualitative-interpretative approach, this study finds that halal tourism policy is a strategic policy in supporting the regional economy, as well as being able to accelerate sustainable regional development. However, at a practical level, halal tourism as a policy still experiences various obstacles and challenges. In principle, halal tourism is a universal service product because it can be used by all people, including non-Muslim tourists, but on the island of Lombok, it has not been well understood by all stakeholders. As a strategic policy, the halal tourism policy is a multi-sector and multi-regional policy. So it is necessary that Lombok halal tourism policy is integrally formulated with the vision of sustainable development. Kajian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi kebijakan wisata halal sebagai instrumen pembangunan daerah di pulau Lombok. Sebagaimana dipahami, problem mendasar kebijakan wisata halal, selain belum memadainya dasar hukum pariwisata halal, juga secara kelembagaan masih terdapat problem. Sehingga yang menjadi pertanyaan bagaimana sebaiknya pariwisata dikelola agar mampu berkontribusi bagi kesejahteraan rakyat. Dengan menggunakan teori kebijakan dan pendekatan kualitatif-interpretatif, kajian ini menghasilkan temuan bahwa kebijakan wisata halal merupakan kebijakan yang strategis dalam menunjang perekonomian daerah sekaligus mampu mengakselerasi pembangunan daerah yang berkelanjutan. Namun, dalam praktiknya wisata halal sebagai sebuah kebijakan masih mengalami berbagai hambatan dan tantangan. Wisata halal pada prinsipnya merupakan produk jasa yang universal karena dapat dimanfaatkan semua orang, termasuk wisatawan non-Muslim namun di Pulau Lombok belum dipahami secara baik oleh semua stakeholders. Sebagai kebijakan yang strategis, kebijakan pariwisata halal merupakan kebijakan yang multisektor sekaligus multi-regional. Sehingga dibutuhkan rumusan kebijakan wisata halal Lombok yang terintegrasi dengan visi sustainable development (pembangunan berkelanjutan).

The valorization of cultural heritage for regional development (“Conservation 3.0”) has been a widely used concept in the last decade. Heritage institutions and the European Union have advocated and fostered the view of cultural heritage as a place-based development potential. Therefore, this article investigates the impacts of such approaches in the context of sustainable development. It does so with a specific focus on more peripheral, (old) industrial regions in Central Europe, where industrial heritage and industrial tourism play an important role. Based on this background, this article highlights the difficulties of establishing a tourism product based on industry-related features. The product mainly serves a niche market, thereby not helping to overcome structural disadvantages of peripheral regions. The economic impacts of industrial heritage tourism on the transition towards a more sustainable regional development are rather low. Nevertheless, the case study highlights the social benefits that industry-related tourism yields in regions in transformation, forming an important pre-condition for any future development. However, ecological aspects are not widely addressed in heritage tourism in this region. Policy-wise, stakeholders in peripheral regions should be more aware of the different limits and opportunities cultural heritage utilizations can bring in terms of achieving a more sustainable regional development.

The paper analyses the planning framework for sustainable territorial and regional development. The spatial and environmental planning should play the key role in coordination and integration of different planning grounds in achieving the sustainable regional development. The paper discusses the spatial planning capacity to offer the integral view of the sustainable territorial development. The brief review of tendencies in new spatial planning and regional policy has been given. The focus is on the concept of balanced polycentric development of European Union. The guiding principles of spatial planning in regard of planning system reform in European countries have been pointed out. The changes in paradigm of regional policy, and the tasks of European regional spatial planning have been discussed. In Serbia problems occur in regard with the lack of coordinating sectoral planning with spatial and environmental planning. Partly the problem lies in the legal grounds, namely in non codification of laws and unregulated horizontal and vertical coordination at all levels of governance. The possibilities for the implementation of spatial planning principles and concepts of European Union sustainable territorial and regional development have been analyzed on the case of three regional spatial plans of eastern and southeastern regions in Serbia. The disadvantages in implementing the strategic environmental impact assessment as an instrument for coordination and integration of sectorial planning with spatial and environmental planning have been analyzed. The strategic environmental impact assessment has been implemented only in the spatial planning process. Through spatial planning process its feedback effect on sectorial planning has been indirectly achieved. The priority actions in Serbia for achieving the spatial and environmental planning role in coordination and integration of different planning grounds in sustainable regional development have been given.

The article analyses problems of cluster’s formation in Lithuania. The reasons why clusters in Lithuania are evolving slowly are described in this article. Also cluster’s development process in a logical sequence is submitted. The article accented that the Lithuanian cluster’s policy principles should assess the specific Lithuanian conditions, the positive foreign experience and strategic objectives of competitiveness.Lithuanian status of fisheries sector is estimated. Also the main problems in this sector are named: complexity of management, decreasing of fishing quota, shorter season of cod fishing, economic problems. The article made assumptions that the clustering process should ensure more sustainable development of the sector, a new operational quality creating the ability to compete at lower prices and innovation. Also it was emphasized that clustering processes should assess such factors as: sector’s culture, competitive opportunities and sustainable development of the region.During formation of this cluster it is recommended to assess the fisheries sector as the component of Lithuanian maritime economy. Lithuanian maritime cluster should be developed allowing for common features inherent in clusters, assessing sustainable development principles of the sector. In this way Lithuanian maritime cluster combines not only the fisheries sector but also the activities characterized by Lithuanian maritime economy.

The interactions between the indicators of sustainable regional development due to the exploitation of raw material deposits in the Slovak Republic are the starting point for effective raw material management. The primary objective of the study is to point out the interactions of explicitly defined indicators of raw material deposits exploitation, which have an overall impact on sustainable development in the Slovak Republic. Based on the development tendencies of selected social, economic, and environmental indicators, the article defines individual indicators that create the potential for further sustainable development. For an effective evaluation of all the indicators, the analytic hierarchy process was used for the identification of the priorities of the indicators. Based on all the relevant factors and previous experience, and results of the conducted analysis, 14 positive and 14 negative indicators were identified. Based on the complex evaluation of raw material in the process of sustainable development in the Slovak Republic, negative factors were prevailing over the positive ones by a scoring rate of 0.90, and the total impact was identified as average profitability of sustainable development support. Accepting all the principles of sustainable development, a model of effective evaluation of raw material deposits and management of raw material exploitation in regional sustainable development of the Slovak Republic based on the quantification of their interactions was developed.

Sustainable Regional Development

Climate change as well as ecological and social problems requires new goals and instruments of economic policy, based on the principles of sustainable develop­ment. However, over the past 20 years, an increase in energy prices has resulted in the raw material growth model prevailing in Russia. Has this growth led to sustainable regional development? We propose an approach to evaluating eco­logical efficiency of the Russian regions as the ratio of the output of non-primary goods and services to the input of resources (labor, capital, raw materials, and environmental costs). This is a new indicator of the quality of economic growth. The sustainable development model, combining growth of GRP per capita and ecological efficiency, has been observed for more than half of the period in most regions. The eco-efficiency of the average region has been growing since 2003, except crisis periods, following an increase of the services sector share and the closure of inefficient pollution-intensive factories. According to the econometric results, ecological efficiency was growing faster in densely populated regions with a high share of high-tech services, investment attractiveness and intensive tech­nology implementation (Moscow; Saint Petersburg; Sverdlovsk, Tomsk, Belgorod and Kaliningrad regions etc.); it decreased in most northern and Siberian regions. Great potential for raising eco-efficiency remains in most regions. In general, the results of regional development in Russia do not contradict the principles and goals of sustainable development (SDGs), although it was largely achieved due to the system of inter-budget transfers, distributing the oil rent surplus among the regions. In the future, an increase in investments in the non-primary sector, en­ergy efficiency and public transportation will be required. Corresponding changes can be accelerated in the context of an emerging economic crisis caused by the pandemic and falling oil prices.

The paper aims to study sustainable regional development by assessing the realisation of the values and interests of key stakeholders. The methodological framework includes the concept of sustainable development and a value-driven approach to management. The authors employ the method of theoretical analysis to validate the possibility of applying the value-driven approach to assess the sustainable regional development and building a conceptual model reflecting the composition of the key regional stakeholders and the content of their values and interests in the context of the concept of sustainable development. To provide both the overall and individual (in terms of social, environmental and economic components) assessments of the level of realisation of these values, the researchers adopt the method of integral assessments and develop a system of indicators and a step-by-step method for calculating the integral index. The authors test the proposed methodological tools using the case of the regions of the Volga and Ural Federal Districts. The findings demonstrate that the most acute problems for all stakeholders are the problems of ensuring environmentally friendly living conditions for the population, reducing the environmental pressure and environmental intensity of economic activity. In the social sphere, the most relevant issues remain improving the standard of living, and raising the volume and quality of social services provided to the population. The authors arrive at the conclusion that insufficient level of realisation of the regional authorities’ values limits their ability to influence the processes of sustainable regional development by improving the level of other stakeholders’ interests’ realisation.

The Slovak Republic, as a Member State of the European Union, is committed to meet the strategic objective, which is to “significantly increase the competitiveness and performance of the regions of the Slovak economy and employment, while respecting sustainable development”. Today's status of environmental pollution is a global problem, especially in the field of air protection, minimization of adverse effects of climate changes, the promotion of renewable energy sources, water conservation and the rational use and protection of land. Sustainable development represents the evolution of human society while preserving the environment for future generations. The article1 is focused on the strategic priorities with the aim of achieving economic growth in conjunction with the ecology and the quantification of indirect effects. The article describes the multi-criteria decisional analysis, which takes into account the indirect effects in the form of environmental aspects. At the end of the article the benefits of research are articulated.
