Abstract. On August 24, 2015 intense rainfall episodes generated flash floods and landslides on the eastern Black Sea coast of Turkey. As a consequence of the heavy rainstorm activity over Artvin and its surroundings (NE Turkey), 11 people died and economic losses totaled a million dollars. During the six hours of the event (from 05:00 UTC to 11:00 UTC), total accumulated rainfall of 136, 64, and 109 mm was measured in the Hopa, Arhavi, and Borçka settlements of Artvin city, respectively. This study comprehensively investigates the meteorological characteristics of those flash floods. In terms of synoptic mechanisms, the cut-off surface low from the summer Asian monsoon settled over the eastern Black Sea. After two days of quasi-stationary conditions of this cyclone, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) reached 27.5 °C (1.5 °C higher than normal) and low-level moisture convergence developed. In addition, transfer of moisture by warm northerly flows from the Black Sea and relatively cool southerly flows from the land coasts of the Artvin district exacerbated the unstable conditions, and thus, played a significant role in the development of deep convective cells. Severe rainstorms as well as the slope instability of the region triggered landslides and worsened flood damage in the Artvin.

Based on the analysis of the dynamics of the regional transport and logistics system of the Black Sea economic region, many barriers to its effective functioning have been identified, which are conditionally divided into 10 groups: political, institutional, investment and financial, infrastructure, logistics, tariff, customs, innovation, informational, ecological. It is proved that to eliminate these barriers it is advisable to develop a cluster model of logistics activities in the economic region, which means a conceptual approach that involves the creation and development of transport and logistics cluster as a mechanism for sustainable functioning of regional transport and logistics system. The cluster model includes the following blocks: a single set of processes of logistics activities; members of the transport and logistics cluster that organize these processes; mechanisms for forming partnerships of cluster members; financial support for cluster development; achieving a synergetic (economic, social and environmental) effect from the sustainable development of the transport and logistics cluster on the basis of stimulating the region. As a result of the study it was found that to implement a cluster model of logistics activities in the Black Sea economic region it is necessary to create appropriate institutional conditions, namely: to improve regulatory and legal regulation of transport and logistics activities taking into account the regional component; to develop a Strategy for the integrated development of the regional transport and logistics system based on the modernization of transport infrastructure and the creation of a transport and logistics cluster; to develop and implement an organizational and economic mechanism for managing the development of the transport and logistics system of the economic region using the tools of "green" logistics and digital technologies; to improve the mechanism of financial support for the development of the transport and logistics system through the use of financial instruments such as venture capital, crowdfunding, factoring, international public-private partnership based on attracting private investment, credit institutions, foreign investment resources, grants from international financial institutions.

Modern economic conditions for the development of the Black Sea economic region require the search for fundamentally new forms of management. In view of this, the problem of creating a transport and logistics cluster and determining its possible organizational and legal forms becomes especially relevant. The article, based on the analysis of current legislation, shows that currently no attention is paid to the creation and operation of the transport and logistics cluster in the Black Sea economic region. But from the point of view of perspective development clustering should be considered as a key direction of transformation of regional transport and logistic system. The study identified the features and differences of the cluster from other organizational and legal forms of associations of enterprises, which are as follows: its activities do not determine the special features of government (unlike corporations and concerns); this cluster structure has a permanent nature of activity (unlike consortia); is created not only for the purpose of constant coordination of economic activity of the enterprises (unlike associations). Transport and logistics cluster can be created, according to Art. 63 of the Commercial Code of Ukraine, as: a communal enterprise operating on the basis of communal property of territorial communities; a joint communal enterprise operating on a contractual basis of joint financing by the respective territorial communities – subjects of cooperation. It is proposed to make changes and additions to the Concept of creating clusters in Ukraine, the National Transport Strategy of Ukraine until 2030, Strategies of balanced regional development of Mykolaiv, Odessa and Kherson regions for 2027 to create a transport and logistics cluster as a business entity. It is expedient to develop and approve the Concept of Cluster Policy of the Black Sea Economic Region and the Target Program “Formation and Development of Clusters in the Black Sea Economic Region for 2027”, which should provide for the creation of transport and logistics clusters as a special type of enterprise associations.

Topicality. Despite the slowdown in socio-economic development, the escalation of armed conflicts, and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on all spheres of society, the objective conditions of industrial and scientific-technical development of Industry 4.0 contribute to the acceleration of innovative development in Ukraine. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the study is to substantiate aspects of innovative modeling of anthropoecosystem development, on the example of a comprehensive analysis of indicators of subjective assessment of the population of Ukraine and prospects for recreational and tourist development in the Black Sea economic region. Research results. It is substantiated that in the anthropoecosystem the central element is the individual around whom the environment operates: as a result of the evolution of anthropocentrism in relation to the Industry 4.0 phase, Homo Economicus dominates, which due to the inclusive approach and state support forms a symbiosis with Homo Socialis. State regulation is aimed at establishing rules and incentives for innovation. The high level of economic development requires first of all the operation of the market regulation mechanism, which catalyzes the innovative development of the country. The combination and joint action of mechanisms of state, market and social regulation is a prerequisite for the formation of policies for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Conclusion. The article substantiates and generalizes aspects of innovative modeling of systems that have elements of economic, social and environmental development in Industry 4.0. Anthropoecosystem research is a response to the aggravation of the environment caused by a combination of socio-economic instability and the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the lives of the country, region and individual. The paper presents a comparative rating analysis of indicators of subjective assessment of the population of economic regions, in particular, the Black Sea economic region of Ukraine. Provisions on the development of recreation and tourism, the innovation of which is aimed at overcoming the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and Ukraine�s economic integration, are considered.

In addition, transfer of moisture by warm northerly flows from the Black Sea and relatively cool southerly flows from the land coasts of the Artvin district exacerbated the unstable conditions and thus played a significant role in the development of deep convective cells. Severe rainstorms as well as the slope instability of the region triggered landslides and worsened flood damages in the Artvin area. This study supports conventional weather analysis, satellite images, and forecast model output to alert forecasters to the potential for heavy rainfall.
