Analytical assessment of social, environmental and economic indicators for the balanced development of the economy of the region

Abstract

Abstract The article suggests an analytical evaluation of social, environmental and economic balanced development of the regional economy on the example of the Voronezh region. The assessment is based on a correlation analysis of indicators. The calculation of correlation coefficients revealed similarity and direction of the relationship of the studied parameters. Analytical assessment reflects the interrelation of indicators in the three main components of the regional economic sectors (economy, nature and society). Any development of economic activity causes significant harm to the environment by emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, discharges of polluted effluents into surface water bodies, formation of a huge amount of production and consumption waste. The measure of this impact are different in their strength, as well as the magnitude of the applied social, environmental and economic damage to the environment in different periods of economic development of the countries. The process of innovative development in production creation of new materials and other fields, (as well as any technogenic impact) can cause a negative, adverse impact on the environment. Environment protection becomes one of the priority tasks of modern eco-oriented economic development. This assessment can be further used in regional management to diagnose the current situation, identify cause and affect relationships between indicators and predict the parameters of balanced development.
