Methodology Of Measuring Sustainable Development Of The Region: Foreign And Domestic Practice
2020
Sustainable development of regional social and economic systems may be viewed on global, national and
regional levels. Currently domestic and foreign scientists and people on the ground understand and accept
that few general indicators are not sufficient for measuring welfare of a country and regions. The main
reason is that these indicators do not cover various social processes, changes in the environment and some
phenomena generalized as “sustainability”. The presence in the current regulatory documents of a large
number of disparate indicators and methods for their determination makes it very difficult to objectively
assess the degree of progress of the country and regions towards achieving sustainable development goals.
Assessment of sustainable regional development requires elaboration and application of the integral
indicator which generalizes traditional system of indicators and is supplemented by the indicators based on
the sustainable development concept. The suggested Index of Adjusted Net Savings allows to quite fully
assess progress of the region in sustainable development. For calculating the Index of Adjusted Net Savings
(IANS) for the Russian regions, gross savings are adjusted for the following values: budget expenditure for
human capital development (education, health, fitness and sports); depletion of natural resources; damage
from environment pollution; environmental expenses; assessment of specially protected natural areas. At
the same time the existing statistical base is not sufficient to define this indicator with objective certainty
and accuracy on the regional level in the Russian Federation.
