The main priority of UNESCO MAB program is to emphasize the implementation of biosphere reserve concept for achieving sustainable development. Biosphere reserve is a concept of site management to harmonize the needs for conservation of both land and coastal ecosystem with the need for economic development in the basis of research on the utilization of natural resources, including cultural resources recognized by UNESCO MAB Program in order to promote a balanced relationship between human and the nature. Principally, the concept of biosfer reserve is applied to bring the conservation of biological diversity into line with sustainable development for achieving a balanced relationship between human and the nature. The advantage of applying the biosphere reserve concept lays on the excellent combination of its three functions, namely: (1) The function associated with conservation of biological resources, ecosystems, and cultural diversity; (2) The function associated with development that supports and enriches sustainable economic development through an ecologicaly and culturally wise approach; and (3) The function associated with provision of logistics supports for various activities related with conservation and sustainable development, in a local, regional, national, or global context, including research, education, training, and monitoring. In implementing those three functions integratively, a zonation approach is applied, in which the site of biosphere reserve is devided into three different areas with specific functions and roles: (1) The core area: It is the area for conservation and it must have a firm, long-term legal protection for preserving the biodiversity, monitoring the undisturbed ecosystems or undertaking non-destructive research, and other “passive” activities such as education and training and ecosystem services; (2) The buffer zone: It is the area encircling or adjoining the core area that is determined to provide protection to the core area against the negative impacts of human activities; and (3) The transition area: The transition area. It is typically the largest part of the biosphere reserve area fuctioning to develope cooperation with local communities. It is established side by side with the buffer zone and this area is a place to develope models for sustainable development and develop an appropriate management of natural resources for the area. Biosphere reserves are used as a place to test and build a sustainable way of life through integrated programs of natural resources management and biodiversity conservation, with the objective to contribute in reducing poverty and increasing the living standard, especially of rural communities. In addition, the implementation of the biosphere reserve concept is also aimed to help reducing the loss of biodiversity, facilitating scientific development and bulding the capacity in the context of providing services neccessary for ecological sustainability.

In 1978, the Kavkazskiy Nature Biosphere Reserve became part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves of UNESCO’s ‘Man and the Biosphere’ Programme. The goals, objectives and requirements for biosphere reserves have changed significantly over these 40 years. In this regard, the Kavkazskiy Biosphere Reserve ceased to meet these requirements. From the standpoint of present requirements, the structure of this Biosphere Reserve is disproportional: a very large core area with a disjunctive buffer area and the lack of a transition area. Since 1978 and up to the present day, the Kavkazskiy Biosphere Reserve has only possessed two functions of the whole range of those typical of biosphere reserves: the protection and the science and research support, which it qualitatively fulfils. It is both expedient and possible to eliminate discrepancies in the structure and functioning of the Kavkazskiy Biosphere Reserve with up-to-date requirements in the case of its expansion by means of forming a continuous buffer area and a transition area around the core area (the present Kavkazskiy Biosphere Reserve). The paper proposes a new structure of the Kavkazskiy Biosphere Reserve and describes the main results and prospects of its functioning.

Structural Shifts

The processes of a green economy development, changes in approaches to the production and use of energy, the emergence of new sources of investment in the technological transition - all this is a consequence and, at the same time, the cause of structural shifts in the economies of advanced countries. In this light, the technological backwardness of the Russian economy, caused by a negative structural shift during the period of market reforms, impedes the transition to a green economy, rationalization of the use of natural resources and reduction of environmental pollution. Therefore, the development of theoretical provisions for the convergence of environmental and economic policies, the development of appropriate incentives for business are considered as an important step in the transition to sustainable development. For this purpose, the authors examine the original approaches to various paths of transition to sustainable development caused by structural shifts of a convergent nature in the economy.

This article considers the concept of natural capital as a basic construct of sustainable development. However, after numerous studies, a number of aspects of accounting and valuation of natural capital remain unspecified. The relevance and imperfection of the guidelines used to assess natural capital make relevant the development of such issues as the conceptual apparatus and methods to natural capital assessment. Therefore, the core objectives of the paper are: (1) to substantiate the structure of natural capital, taking into account the natural resources and ecosystem approaches; (2) to clarify the concepts of “function” and “services” in relation to abiotic and biotic components of the environment; (3) to generalize and analyze the classifications of ecosystem services, and to develop the authors’ classification; (4) to identify the most common methods for the economic assessment of natural capital’s components, and to implement these methods within a specific territory. These methods have been tested on the Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug (KhMAD, Russia). The most typical ecosystems of the region and their inherent ecosystem services have been identified. Assessment results are presented for (1) forest ecosystems, (2) mountain ecosystems, and (3) ecosystems of swamps, lakes, and rivers.

The concept of sustainable development has begun to be developed, namely in line with current needs and without endangering future generations. In addition to focusing on environmental issues, this concept covers economic development, environmental protection and social development. However, this concept still tends to focus on short- term economic development. With the limitation of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) and the resources we have, it is not surprising that policymakers prefer shortcuts. As a result, the quality of economic growth has deteriorated. One of the efforts to harmonize the needs of economic growth and conservation of natural resources is the concept of a Green Economy. This article discusses how to calculate economic development as seen from the amount of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from a Green Economy perspective. Batu City, as a tourism city that relies on natural conditions and its environment, needs to analyze its economic development from a Green Economy perspective in order to be sustainable. This article aimed to analyze the depletion of natural resources of the sub-sector “Provision of Accommodation and Food – Beverage” which supports tourism in Batu City. The results showed that in 2015-2019, natural resource depletion increased every year. Keywords: Sustainable Development, Green Economy, Depletion, Natural Resources

The study of environmental economics is essential and is concerned to allocation of resources among alternative uses in such a way that there is an efficient reduction of the waste, discharged to the environment which causes an increase in welfare. Excessive exploitation of the natural resources brings negative changes in the environment mainly in ecological balance. Resources are essential for economic development but modernization, industrialization and some kinds of socio – cultural practices are degrading the natural environment. This article presents the way of the sustainable development and control of the environmental problem due to developmental activities. Some recommendations are made which may help to improve the environment, and slowdown the rising damage. Academic Voices, Vol. 2, No. 1, 2012, Pages 86-89 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/av.v2i1.8295

Resource Accounting

Economic growth has been conventionally looked upon as the measure for the development of society, while ignoring the other aspects viz., human development, natural resources, environment and ecology. In the conventional accounting of economic development, the value of services and goods provided by natural resources like air, water, land and biota are ignored; neither any attempts are made to monitor and account for the changes in natural resources and environment. For the economic development to be sustainable, the environmental costs have to be limited and to be growing at slower pace than the economic gains. In this chapter, an attempt is made to outline the importance of using Natural Resource Accounting (NRA) for sustainable development through an attempt to estimate the environmental costs and benefits, and also to compare with economic growth in the case of India. This chapter highlights the potential of using NRA to make decisions for sustainable development through policies for conservation, management and development of natural resources.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the functioning of socio-economic development mechanism on the example of the Russian Federation, to provide conceptual justification of measures to improve the interactive response to the sustainable development of the territory using a cluster approach in the economic context. The study was implemented using a set of methods: including principles allowing for the use of general scientific and economic methods, which are a synthesis of abstract-theoretical analysis, system, factor, and structural-functional analysis, logical approach, statistical methods, simulation, situational and quantitative approaches. The author also applied private methodological tools of economic and mathematical modeling and others. The study substantiates measures to improve the regional mechanism of socio-economic development in a specific socio-economic space of the Russian Federation, which allows initiating the emergence of a significant multiplier effect in managing the economics of state development. Theoretical conclusions and suggestions can be used for further scientific development of the problem of regional socio-economic policy and allow an economic interpretation of the problems of sustainable socio-economic development of the territory. The results of the analysis and the identified trends presented in this study work are of independent value since they can serve as a basis for improving the efficiency of economists’ management decisions and developing the state socio-economic system when developing strategic guidelines for the socio-economic policy of sustainable development of the Russian Federation.
