The paper suggests and tests the methodology for quantitative evaluation of sustainability of a regional socio-economic system development. More precise attention is paid to the role that ICT and innovation dynamic factors play in the process of regional development. The research hypothesis: there is a significant probability of the Russian regional economic systems' shift to the knowledge-based economy mode, that stands on several social development determinants, mainly human capital and innovation. The task of quantitative valuation of sustainability is proposed to be resolved using the calculation of generalized integral index entailing the following components: 1) economic relations; 2) social situation; 3) institutional environment; 4) potential for innovation. The index structure was adopted from UNDP HDI calculation frameworks. Basic indicators' selection procedure, subject to integration within the generalized sustainability index, employed internationally recognized practices and multifactor regression analysis techniques that allow to determine correlations between factors that influence HDI as well as to derive quantitative measures of their interrelation density. The methodology was applied to the Russian regions' sustainability valuation and key factors identification in terms of regional development in Russia. The analysis of sustainability indices indicates that the majority of Russian regions cannot be recognized as sustainable. Calculations prove the conclusion about low interrelation between innovation dynamics and economic development in Russia, thus indicating the misbalance between demand and supply-side factors of innovation in favor of the latter.

This study investigates the rural population distribution in the Republic of Tatarstan. This article considers the rural population and settlements of Tatarstan Republic in terms of development and distribution factors from 1950ies to the present day. The paper analyzes the main factors influencing the placement of rural settlements such as geographic, demographic, natural, transportational, economic and socio-domestic. The authors have examined the rural population migration as well as changes in the rural population ethnic composition, including the factors stipulating them. The conclusions obtained during the research are based on the data of 1920, 1926, 1939, 1959, 1970, 1979, 1989 censuses. Rural population reduction rate is quite substantial, despite the high economic potential of the republican rural areas [Gabdrakhmanov, 2016]. This fact highlights the importance of current research aimed at studying and analyzing the reasons for rural population reduction. Analysis and study at the single entity level will contribute to the identification of regional features and to the development of practical guidelines for the transition to regional sustainable development. The study applies key indicators for the analysis of the of socio-economic factors impact on the distribution of rural settlements of municipalities in Tatarstan Republic. The results of the study reveal the patterns and trends in the distribution and development of rural settlements, which will be exploited in the formulating practical guidelines for rural settlements sustainable development.

In the period of variable economy the stability of mini-economic systems is becoming one of the main categories that should be subjected to research and management. However, to date, there is no single approach to the definition of this conceptual category. The concepts of financial stability and economic sustainability are often mixed up. In addition, the existing approaches to the definition do not take into account the dynamism of the enterprise environment. The article examines the conceptual differences between financial and economic stability, which are the basis of the authors' definition of the conceptual categories of "economic sustainability" and "sustainable economic development". The analysis of the enterprise behavior within variable economy, its reaction on the disturbing influence coming from the environment and transmitting the economy's variability to the enterprise financial and industrial processes dictates the urgency of the research. The authors of article think that to analyze the enterprise sustainability the economic entity should be presented as an open, complex and dynamic socio-economic system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The regularities of the evolution of the theory of sustainable socio-economic development of regions in Russia and foreign countries are revealed. It is concluded that the foundation of the modern theory of sustainable regional development of foreign countries is the fundamental provisions of neoclassical, neo-Keynesian and institutional theory, as well as spatial economics. They are the base of highly developed countries' regional policies, aimed at ensuring sustainable, balanced social and economic development of the territories. It is proved that the Russian theory of sustainable development is characterized by the imposition and interlacing of various methodological approaches. Its evolution took place in a short time, in the conditions of radical changes in the social formation and priorities of the state policy of country's spatial development country. It is explained that the key paradigms for the development of domestic research on the problems of sustainable development of the regions are currently the creation of a theory of sustainable development of territories that meets the "challenges" of modern society and the development of theoretical and methodological bases for regional policies aimed at ensuring long-term social and economic sustainability of territories development. It is proved that the regional socio-economic policy, coordinated with the macroeconomic policy of the state, is a necessary condition for resolving territorial contradictions in the development of the national economy. The following general positions in the views of scientists of different schools and directions of economic thought are revealed: regional socio-economic development occurs in conditions of instability that affects all spheres of human life; the problem of ensuring the sustainability of development has a pronounced spatial nature; in the current economic conditions, the interaction of the economy as a scientific discipline (economic theory) and the economy as a sphere of managerial activity (economic policy) is being strengthened.

The relevance of the presented research is based on the increasing role of high quality human resources and its reproduction conditions in modern innovative focused socioeconomic city development processes in the competitive environment of the accruing global challenges. The research is aimed at identifying and proposing efficient ways to create the innovative model of the city sustainable development strategic management on the basis of transition from present economics of qualitative human resources using to economics of their system reproduction - welfare economics, employing econometric methods to identify and rank socioeconomic (including non-material) factors, determining this transition. Achieving the goal of the research required the solution of such problem tasks as structural representation of welfare economics parametric characteristics and factors system, empirical relations in the "achieved welfare level - innovation-oriented economic development" system justification. The authors provide proofs of the applicability of empirical modeling results in the field of real-life ensuring the Pareto optimum selection of the «economy - social sphere» interaction mechanism. Novation of authors' approach, first of all, is in the theoretical methodological basis of heuristic need to integrate the innovative model of the city sustainable development strategic management (allowing fully take into account the effects of the social and economic development trends system regulation) in the management decision-making process. Gradual transition to the urban agglomeration functional and spatial development management becomes the important methodological aspect of the new urban policy effectiveness dynamic system analysis. Innovation clusters formation and rules of the urban environment elements (economic, social, environmental, etc.) behavior are in the centre of such policy making process. Author's development allow us to offer such criteria for the innovation-oriented urban dynamics social and economic policies mutual coordination degree identification as: producing a substantial amount of the gross domestic product per capita, achieving a high welfare level, the social institutions development; social policy among the development priorities place, the importance of redistributive functions of the state, which allows to eliminate the significant differentiation of incomes in the society and eliminate the poles of poverty and wealth.

The article is devoted to the qualitative and quantitative differentiation of dangers, risks, potential for conflict situations in the development of regional economic processes, the elaboration of the detection and regulation of risks mechanism in the system, ensuring competitive, sustainable and secure development of regions. The method for risk assessment of regional socio-economic development is developed. For the quantitative identification of the risks of regional development the authors use the risk management model which reflects the economic system's fundamental factors of the "core development" which are transformed in respect to the issue under study. This model is described as a functional of a number of constituents, including six-component sets: the natural-resource factor; the development of human factor; the process and technical factor; the institutional factor; the organizational factor; the informational factor. The harmonious combination of these factors and their system unity leads to their high level of mastery in the process of activity and thereby maximizes the before mentioned activity, providing the achievement of the development targets. In order to assess the overall condition and level of the production factors development the regional economies use integral indicators, which reflect each factor's values, counted in accordance with a special system. This special system should include not only relative values, but also their effective combination in the framework of the reproduction process. The index system of risk assessment of the regions' supportability with the development factors is created. The method is tested on data from the South Russian regions, regions are rated and positioned according to the risk level. This research is targeted at getting new methods of risk assessment connected with strategic decisions, made on different levels of territorial administration; also enhances the significance and urgency of elaborating the strategies and mechanisms of regional development risk management which will allow to predict the probability of aleatory situations, evaluate these aleatory situations, give them an objective assessment and develop a range of measures to prevent possible material, financial, human and other losses.

Modern humanity lives in conditions of innovative economy, which is characterized by the swiftness of the environment development, the influx of large flows of information, the continuity of product and technological changes. All this causes uncertainty associated with the future and the lack of full protection of the individual against the economic and financial implications. Economic and financial instability related to the financial and economic losses, while the economic security is linked to certain conditions which guarantee stable personality existence, as a minimum, and as a maximum, the development and strengthen the socioeconomic position of the individual in the foreseeable future. Thus the assessment of personal economic security combines elements of risk assessment and the individual economic sustainability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper tells about distinctive features, problems and prospects in the field of corporate social business responsibility in modern Russia. The structure of the system of measures of control actions of big business for sustainable socio - economic development of the regions cannot be the same as for the country as a whole and for each individual region. The participation of companies in the development of the regions should be strictly voluntary. Strategically minded management of large corporations builds its priorities in the interests of stability of getting high profits and, accordingly, socio - economic sustainability of the resources which it uses. All stages of the further research are own point of view of the author offered to discussion. Any remarks will be accepted with gratitude. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
