Features Of The Conceptual Construct And Methodology Of Socio-Ecological And Economic Research

“…Inertia is keeping the structure for a long time. Both dynamism and inertia may be both positive and negative, and therefore determine the degree to which the territorial system is balanced (Davankov, Dvinin, & Postnikov, 2016, p. 1033. It is necessary to consider the scientific basis for reconciling environmental, economic and social interests and directions for the transition to balanced economic activity.…”

Balance assessment of material and energy biosphere flows and the energy industry in an industrial region

“…According to the proposed methodology, the ecosystem economic capacity should be estimated by the maximum permissible energy load, namely the ability of landscapes in a particular territory to emit a certain amount of oxygen and simultaneously absorb carbon dioxide, which has a greenhouse effect and directly indicates the level of development of regional energy, and therefore nature-intensive economic activity [4]. In this case, such an indicator as the volume of total energy consumption in the region and the characteristics of the landscapes of the studied territory will be important: forested area, the presence of areas free of forests, agricultural land, various water bodies.…”

“…The regulation of these processes requires a management model ensuring a balanced state of the region's social, ecological, and economic system within biosphere sustainability limits. In the 1990s, Gorshkov's theory of biotic regulation was developed in Russia, arguing that going beyond the biosphere stability, and consequently the emergence of environmental problems, is caused by the socio-economic system switching to the material and energy flows of the biosphere [4]. Therefore, the analysis of the material and energy intensity of the primary economic sectors has an environmental aspect and is also a significant factor for determining the industrial region's further economic competitiveness.…”

Integrated Environmental and Economic Education as a Factor of Sustainable Development of Modern Society

“…The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was made up of the following scientific concepts: the theory of an integrative approach to the design of pedagogical systems (Bezrukova [4, p. 152], Berulava [5, p. 192], Verbitsky [6], etc. ); theory of the technogenic influence of society on nature (Bobylev [7], Mella and Gazzola [8], Davankov et al [9], etc. ); the provisions of the integration of ecology and economics in education (Amend and Salamatov [10], Ryabchuk et al [11], etc.…”
