Renewable energy sources—which are available in abundance all around us and are provided by the sun, wind, water, waste, and heat from the Earth—are replenished by nature and emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants into the air. This paper builds upon a preceding study that examined beliefs, perceptions, and attitudes regarding renewable energy technologies. In this study, we examine the implications renewable energy sources may have on science, technology policies, and education. This study embraced a sequential mixed-methods methodology to accomplish its objectives. The primary goal of this study was to ascertain the impact of global warming, education, and renewable energy on healthcare expenditure. In order to determine the impact of renewable energy on health care expenditure, the present research study coupled renewable energy with gross domestic product (GDP). Based on the long-term outcomes derived from our Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) estimators, GDP, renewable energy, and education were found to be adversely correlated with healthcare expenditure. To collect data, we conducted interview sessions, which were subsequently complemented by a survey that was completed by 400 respondents (specifically chosen research participants). We then conducted thematic analyses. The findings of this study underscore a compelling inverse relationship linking GDP, renewable energy integration, and education with healthcare spending. Regions displaying lower healthcare outlays are seemingly less strained ecologically due to their judicious utilization of renewable energy sources. Furthermore, based on our findings, a noteworthy correlation between healthcare expenditure and global warming was observed, underscoring the potential escalation of financial burdens with intensifying climate shifts. In light of our findings, advocating for the amplification of renewable energy deployment emerges as a prudent strategy to fortify public health while mitigating healthcare expenses. Augmenting investments in education acts as a pivotal lever to steer sustainable growth. It is noteworthy that the survey participants’ level of familiarity with renewable energy technology was not found to be connected to their educational backgrounds, revealing a disparity in knowledge. The prevailing unfamiliarity with sustainability principles among the respondents underscores the need for widespread awareness initiatives. This study acts as a holistic exploration of the ramifications of renewable energy on healthcare expenditure; this is intertwined with the complex tapestry of global warming and education. The implications of renewable energy reverberate across policy and practice, accentuating the urgency of sustainable energy adoption for the betterment of public health and economic resilience. Future studies should focus on conducting more nuanced assessments of socio-economic aspects and generate strategies for bridging knowledge gaps among diverse stakeholders.

The aim of the article is substantiation of directions, models, mechanisms and priorities of reforming the administrative-territorial structure of the country at a subregional level on the basis of decentralization. Main material. The article substantiates the economic and geographical process of reforming the administrative-territorial system at the sub-regional level, using the example of Zaporizhzhia region. Cluster analysis was used to determine the level, capabilities, and perspectives of creating United Territorial Communities (UTCs) clusters. The following were chosen as the clustering criteria: income per person; own income for one person; infrastructure subsidy for one person. According to the results of the analysis and their mapping, the clustering of UTCs of Zaporizhzhia region was carried out taking into account the expediency of joining the clusters of village and town councils. Clustering of UTCs in Zaporizhzhia region was carried out according to financial capacity, using statistical indicators. The expediency of reforming the administrative-territorial system at the sub-regional level on the cluster principle around cluster cores that are financially viable and self-sufficient UTCs has been proved. Conclusions and further research. The economic and geographical substantiation of the reform of the administrative-territorial system at the sub-regional level in the example of Zaporizhzhia region is conducted in the work. The cluster approach to determine the boundaries of new zoning in the Zaporozhie region, has been proposed. The cluster analysis was carried out according to the main socio-economic indicators of the UTCs of Zaporizhzhia region. They were own income per person, infrastructure subsidy per person and basic / reverse subsidy per person. According to the results of the analysis, the possibilities of creating clusters of UTCs with simultaneous annexation of territories in which the UTCs were not created (within the village councils) were identified and mapping of the obtained results of cluster analysis is given. Clustering of UTCs of Zaporizhzhia region was carried out according to the financial capacity using statistical indicators (relative frequency and frequency with further determination of the confidence interval for medium). On the basis of econometric and cartographic modeling it has been proved that it is expedient to carry out the cluster principle improvement on the reform of the administrative-territorial system at the sub-regional level. According to the results of clustering, on the example of Zaporizhzhia region, the centers of gravity of clusters (kernels of clusters) are identified, which are financially viable and self-sufficient UTCs. Therefore, it is proposed to form basic territorial administrative units around such nuclei as a basis for sustainable development of territories at the sub-regional level. According to the study of a specific administrative region of Ukraine, the formation of self-sufficient UTCs should be implemented taking into account the centers of gravity, which will be useful when discussing decisions on administrative delimitation of territories in order to achieve their sustainable development.

The purpose of the article is socio-geographical and economic justification of trends, models, mechanisms and priorities for improving managerial system of natural economic systems and territorial economic complexes in the context of decentralization based on adaptation of the clusters model of M. Enright. Main material. Mechanism for managing united territorial communities` natural and economic systems development to ensure sustainable geospatial development of territories based on the example of Kherson region has been applied in the article. It has been proven that the effectiveness of reforms’ progress can be ensured by further consolidation of united territorial communities (UTC) and their clustering. Moreover, the clusters can go outside current administrative districts` boundary, which since 2017 has been fully regulated by the law. To prove the mechanism of UTCs consolidation, it has been proposed to use the model of regional clusters of M. Enright, which was adapted for united territorial communities. To determine the prospects for further UTCs consolidation in Kherson region, followed by the definition of economically proved new zoning, the cluster analysis has been applied. The following criteria for clustering have been chosen: income per capita; own income per capita; infrastructure subsidy per capita. Conclusions. Socio-geographical and economic reasons for the reforming tools of the administrative-territorial system based on the example of Kherson region have revealed and substantiated the relevance of cluster approach in the process of UTCs and their associations` formation. UTCs associations aim to stimulate their development, rationally use available and potential resources, to ensure joint investment activities and project-management. It has been proposed to implement UTCs consolidation on the basis of cluster approach. Clustering, as the example of Kherson region, has been carried out based on the key socio-economic indicators per capita, namely: own incomes, infrastructure subsidy and basic / reverse subsidy. This allowed us to identify and map clusters of the formed UTCs and identify prospects for area without UTCs incorporation (within relevant village councils). UTCs consolidation was based on the characteristics of capacity, self-sufficiency, sustainable development, territorial and functional balance of community interests. This will allow to develop methodological and procedural recommendations for strategic documents at UTC level. Their relevance will be increased in the context of climate change and tackling national economic crisis.
