From an ecological perspective, sustainable development provides for the integrity of both natural biological and physical systems and ensures their viability. The global stability of the biosphere depends upon it. Special significance is attached to the ability of such systems to self reproduce and adapt to various changes, as opposed to being preserved in a static condition within a vacuum or deteriorating and losing its biological variety.

STRATEDGIC DERECTIONS OF SUSTAINBLE      
DEVELOPMENT ON THE REGIONAL LEVEL

The conception of  sustainable development was accepted  in 1992 on Conference of Environment and 
Development. Definition of sustainable development is built on co-ordination of interests between people and nature. 
The strategies for sustainable development called for at Rio are foreseen as highly participatory instruments intended 
“to ensure  socially  responsible  economic  development  while  protecting  the  resource  base  and  the environment 
for the benefit of future generations”. Hence a new conception has united the three main components, such as economic, 
ecological, social.  
The economic sphere  
1. Economic prosperity. The traditional measures of economic activity include gross domestic product (GDP), net 
domestic product (NDP), and the unemployment rate. These measures, however, do not take into account negative 
environmental impacts of production and consumption or gauge the incidence of poverty.  
2. Consumption and production patterns. The Ecological Footprint is a measure of the demand human activity 
puts on the biosphere. More precisely, it measures the amount of biologically productive land and water area required to 
produce all the resources an individual, population, or activity consumes, and to absorb the waste they generate, given 
prevailing technology and resource management practices. The consumption footprint of a country measures the 
biocapacity demanded by the final consumption of all the residents of the nation. This includes their household 
consumption as well as their collective consumption, such as schools, roads, fire brigades, etc., which serve the 
household, but may not be directly paid for by the households. Very often with ecofootprint calculate biocapacity, as a 
total amount of bioproductive land available. Difference between ecofootprint and  biocapacity is define type of country 
(ecological debitor or ecological creditor) 
3. Energy efficiency.  There is a need for developing countries in the region to include a goal such as “enhanced 
energy independence” in their infrastructure development plans so that local and renewable energy resources may be 
used to generate power for buildings and fuel for transportation. Two key components are the need to diversify energy 
supplies  so  that  one  source  does  not  dominate  and  hence control  the  market demands.  The  other  is  to  start  
investing  in  development  of  renewable  and sustainable energy resources now rather than later. 
The economic component of the concept consists of optimizing the use of limited resources  and  the  
management  of  material  and  energy  saving  technologies.  Such management would create a stream of cumulative 
income, which would preserve—and not reduce— the cumulative capital (physical, natural and human) employed in the 
creation of this cumulative income. 
The social sphere 
1. Demographic. Creation and realization efficient state policy for the increase of life expectancy and Ukrainian 
population stabilization, to give the comprehensive support to young families. 
2. Sustainable tourism (ecotourism). Increase in urban green space, park space, and recreational areas. 
The social component is oriented to human development, preserved stability of public and cultural systems, and 
the reduction of the amount of societal conflict. The human being should not be viewed as an object, but rather the 
subject of development. People should take part in the formation of their own life, making and executing decisions, and 
exercising control over their implementation. An important part in creating these conditions belongs to the pluralism of 
opinions and tolerance for relations between people, the preservation of cultural capital and its varieties, and the fair 
distribution of benefits amongst people 
The ecological (environment) sphere 
1. Atmosphere (clean water, air). There  is  a  need  to  apply  eco-efficiency  concept  into  water  
infrastructure development.  Not  only  efficiency  of  infrastructure  investment  but  also  eco-efficiency  of  
operation  and  maintenance  of  water  infrastructure  need  to  be improved. Opportunities for improving eco-
efficiency in water infrastructure include reducing water demand by increase public awareness, applying 
integrated water resource management, increasing water recycling, and minimizing water loss. 
2. Biodiversity. Biodiversity Convention is legal document which indicate necessity conservation and renewal of 
biological potential.  For that purpose,it is necessary  to create a protective territory such as reserves, national parks, 
where a favourable conditions for residence biological spices. 
3. Climate change. Reason of climate change is accumulation CO2 in atmosphere, which produce from burning 
fossil fuels. Hence, in order to avoid carbon accumulation in the atmosphere, the goal of the United Nations Framework 
Convention on Climate Change, two options exist: human technological sequestration, such as deep well injection; or 
natural sequestration. 
 From an ecological perspective, sustainable development provides for the integrity of both natural biological and 
physical systems and ensures their viability.  The global stability of the biosphere depends upon it. Special significance 
is attached to the ability of such systems to self reproduce and adapt to various changes, as opposed to being preserved 
in a static condition within a vacuum or deteriorating and losing its biological variety.
