The article is devoted to solving the problem of evaluation and selection of investment projects aimed at developing territorial communities, taking into account the concept of sustainable development. The problem of choosing from possible alternative solutions is not easy for decision makers and requires qualified justification. This is especially important in the context of decentralization reform, advancement of Ukraine towards society openness, increase of transparency requirements to the authorities and their results. Decision making on the basis of the sustainable development concept determines the evaluation of investment projects in terms of their effectiveness in solving problems of social, economic and environmental nature, finding a balance between these components. The peculiarity of the assessments is not so much quantitative as qualitative character, which makes it expedient to use the apparatus of fuzzy logic. The fuzzy model of evaluation of investment project aimed at developing a territorial community is constructed and substantiated in the work. The model is based on quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the social, economic and environmental components of the concept and enables a "soft" -qualitative evaluation of the investment project under consideration. Modeling results are based on the method of deciding on the choice of investment projects for the development of territorial communities. The proposed model and method are implemented by the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox application, were applied to substantiate decisions for the territorial community of Zaporizhzhia region, and can be used in the development of decision support systems to quantify the decisions and variant calculations.
The article is devoted to the problem of evaluation and selection of investment projects aimed at the development of territorial communities (TC) and take into account the need to pursue the goals of sustainable development at the local level. In the context of decentralization reform, attracting investment funds is the leading activity of local self-government. And to ensure the transparency of management and presentation of its results to the governing bodies of TC need new scientific methods to justify the choice of one or more projects from a variety of alternative solutions. Decision-making taking into account the concept of sustainable development determines the evaluation of investment projects in terms of their effectiveness in finding a balance between social, economic and environmental components. The peculiarity of comparative analysis is taking into account the qualitative assessment, so to make optimal investment management decisions, a model is proposed, developed on the basis of fuzzy logic and implemented using tools Fuzzy Logic Toolbox. The article builds and substantiates an improved fuzzy model for evaluating investment projects for TC development. The improved model is based on a system of 15 quantitative and qualitative indicators of achieving goals in the social, economic and environmental components of the concept and allows for a “soft” assessment of the investment project. This model is used to substantiate the decisions of the TC of Zaporizhzhia region and can be used in the development of decision support systems at the level of TC for quantitative justification of decisions, conducting variant calculation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
