Interaction and feedback between systems or within the system are forms of communication. The newly established state and changes in the system of sustainable development meets present needs without compromising the ability of satisfying the needs of future generations. The paper points out the importance of sustainable human development (SHD ) in social nature metabolism processes and triangulated relationship between the individuals, society as a whole and the natural environment. The philosophy of sustainable human development approaches to the human individual as a philosophical basis. This makes human safety as a natural and social being, fundamental to the concept of SHD. Safety management is a process, organization and system that ensure the safety of the individual as a philosophical basis SHD-and, in complex triangulated relationships without dangers and threats. The paper presents the results of scientific research indicating the importance of the functions of safety management in the process of achieving safe surroundings. Key words: Sustainable Human Development, triangulated relationships, metabolic process, safety management.

Urgency of the research. The program of sustainable development of the world requires a philosophical study of sustainable development of the individual. Target setting. Since we live in a democratic society, the sustainable development of this society is possible only if each member of this society will be willing to achieve the goals of sustainable development of the world, the own sustainable development, in particular. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Most of the researches are devoted to economic, ecological or social analysis of sustainable development (Adamiak S., Blewitt J., James P., Richard C., Sachs J.D., Walczak D., Barinova V. A., Belotelov N. V., Bekh V. P., Bilyatsky S., Bobukh I., Bochkovskaya A., Brodsky Yu. I., Vatchenko O. B., Grebennikov V. O., Denisyuk S. P., Zharova L. V., Zemtsov S. P., Kashcheeva G. M., Klyuchko V. G., Lyashchenko I. S., Mirkin B. M., Naumova L. G., Nersesyan G. A., Olenev N. N., Onegina V. M., Pavlovsky Yu. N., Tarasova N. P.).

Internal and external human culture are defined as the main tools for gaining sustainable self-identity. It is noted that the sociocultural space of man is the environment for the development of their external culture and plays an important role in the assertion of man in the sustainable self-identity and personal sustainable development. Conclusions. The use of certain practices of sociocultural space can help a person to develop an external culture and achieve personal sustainable development.

This article presents the K. M. Meyer-Abich theory of responsibility. It discusses the essence of human responsibility as it arises especially at times of ecological crises. The circle of responsibility should be so wide as to prevent anything from existing merely for the sake of human needs. K. M. Meyer-Abich’s theory focuses on eight periods of human development, which correspond to eight circles of responsibility referring to eight ethical conceptions. Throughout human history, we can see how the scope of responsibility has been increasing to fall upon more and more entities. The extension of the circle of responsibility moved from the individual to include family and friends, the nation, all peoples of the world, and humanity as a whole, including future generations. The final step was to look beyond the boundaries of humanity to include all life forms.

У статті теоретично обґрунтовано феномен конструктивного самозбереження особистості як ознаки самоактуалізації, розкриття власного потенціалу і побудови перспективи розвитку особистості та емпірично виявлено ознаки психологічної детермінації домінуючого інстинкту у конструктивній самореалізації жінок з різним соціальним статусом. Зазначено, що проблема самозбереження асоціюється з особливостями прояву інстинкту самозбереження людини, але потреби вищого порядку зумовлюють соціальну природу її поведінки, яка локалізована у найвищій точці самореалізації. Теоретично обгрунтовано, що самореалізація визначає тенденцію раціональної організації життя людини та проявляється у її почутті задоволеністю життям. З’ясовано, що психологічну основу конструктивного самозбереження становлять індивідуально-типологічні характеристики людини, які відображають психофізіологічні та психосоціальні резерви самореалізації особистості. Розроблена програма емпіричного дослідження, а також комплекс використаних методів математичної обробки результатів дослідження дає змогу конкретизувати психологічний зміст детермінації домінуючого інстинкту у конструктивній самореалізації жінок вікового діапазону 35-45 років та з різним соціальним статусом. У жінок, які виховують проблемну (хвору) дитину, домінує інстинкт "егофільного типу", що виражається у їх надмірному егоцентризмі і супроводжується низькими показниками самоактуалізації, на відміну від досліджуваних жінок, які виховують здорових дітей і у яких на фоні вираженої тенденції до самоактуалізації домінує базовий інстинкт "дослідницького типу" та "лібертофільного типу". This article theoretically proves constructive phenomenon of self identity as signs of self-disclosure own potential and prospects of development of individual construction. In addition, it empirically showes signs of psychological determination of the dominant instinct in a constructive self-determination of women with different social statuses. It was noted that the issue of self-preservation is associated with the peculiarities of manifestation of self-preservation instinct of man, but it needs higher-order cause social nature of the behavior that is localized at the highest point of self-realization. It theorized that self-realization determines the trend of rational organization of human life and manifests itself in its sense of life satisfaction. It was found that the psychological basis of constructive self-preservation of the individual make individually-typological characteristics of a person that reflect physiological and psychosocial reserves of self-realization. The developed program of empirical research, as well as the methods used complex mathematical processing of results of research allows to specify the content of the psychological determination of the dominant instinct of constructive self-realization а women age range of 35-45 years and with different social status. Women who bring up the problem child dominates the instinct of self-preservation, which is reflected in their excessive self-centeredness, and is accompanied by low levels of self-actualization, as opposed to the study of women who are raising healthy children and that against the backdrop of a pronounced tendency to self-actualization, dominated by basic instinct "research type" and "independent type."

The development of the audit method has included the identification of possible performance indicators at each level of the sociotechnical pyramid for a range of areas of work in which accidents have been shown to occur most frequently. The measurementof performance indicators is part of a feedback loop which causes safety improvements. Integration of performance indicators into the audit system has been tested at three operating chemical industries in Terengganu and Selangor in Malaysia. A summary of the weaknesses of the similar elements identified in the three audited plants is presented. Analysis on the approach used enables the identification of deficiencies in safety management aspects. Keywords: Accidents, audit, deficiencies, performance indicators, safety management, and sociotechnical pyramid.


This chapter is a transcript of Haq’s address to the North South Roundtable of 1992, where he identifies five critical challenges for the global economy for the future. If addressed properly, these can change the course of human history. He stresses on the need for redefining security to include security for people, not just of land or territories; to redefine the existing models of development to include ‘sustainable human development’; to find a more pragmatic balance between market efficiency and social compassion; to forge a new partnership between the North and the South to address issues of inequality; and the need to think on new patterns of governance for the next decade.
