Systemic approach to the ecological and economic development of the financial and economic mechanism of recreational forest use

Abstract

The article explores the theoretical and methodological principles of the formation of a financial and economic mechanism for recreational forest use in the context of forest sector transformation and decentralization of management. Key contradictions between the intensity of recreational load and the ability of forest ecosystems to self-recovery are identified, which necessitates the establishment of environmentally sound limits on resource use. The feasibility of using a systemic approach to considering recreational forest use as a multi-level socio-ecological and economic system that combines natural, economic, institutional, and social subsectors is substantiated. Approaches to building a financial and economic mechanism are improved through the integration of economic incentive instruments, environmental monitoring, and public-private partnership mechanisms. A conceptual model of systemic management of recreational forest use is proposed, which involves the interaction of resources, instruments, and results, taking into account the principles of sustainable development. Directions for increasing the efficiency of forest resource use, ensuring financial self-sufficiency of territories, and preserving the ecosystem functions of forests in the long term are identified.
