Marova S.F., Buryh Y.V. Analysis of methodical approaches to firmness estimation of the ecological-economic systems

Abstract

Methodical approaches to firmness determination of the ecological-economic systems are considered in the article.  It is certain that today there is no concerted  terminology unity in this question. It becomes firmly established that firmness of the ecological-economic systems is largely determined by the level of balanced development of their constituents – ecological and economic subsystems. It is set that for implementation of estimation of the ecological-economic systems state, it is necessary to choose the index of firmness, on the size of which and estimation will be conducted. Such indexes can be a different level depending on the group of recipients which are examined. There can be descriptions of populational health (for the population), biodiversity (for natural complexes) or ecological technocapacity of territory (assimilation potential for the ecological-economic systems). The ambiguousness of methodical approaches to concept determination of technological or ecological capacity of territory takes place. This index is suggested to estimate as aggregate of demographic and reproductive capacity of territory, which take into account the optimum parameters of ecosystem;  as the generalized description of territory, which reflects selfrestoration potential of the natural system; by taking into account volumes of basic natural reservoirs, calculation of weight and gases interchange speed, addition to the volumes of clean water, processes of pedogenesis and productivity of biotas. The shortages of existent approaches are shown. The value of ecological oriented models of production is certain – consumption of products for the increase of  the ecological-economic systems firmness
