Journal Title: Сталий розвиток економіки - Year 2016, Vol 32, Issue 3
Abstract
Purpose. The aim of the study is to determine the principles and approaches to the selection of a certain natural resources value – social, economic or environmental – and to give it priority on the principles of sustainable use of natural resources; explore the algorithm of categories interaction that determine human and society activity about the nature – “values/needs”, “motives/interests”, “goals” and “ctions”. Methodology of research. The methods of system-structural analysis, interdisciplinary and science lore approaches were used to figure out the role of values system and their changes in society, the system reflect of values essence of natural resources and to clarify the differences in their understanding depending on the characteristics of the subject, specific industry knowledge, paradigm of rational use of natural resources and paradigm of sustainable use of natural resources, the hierarchical level of assessment, time and conditions of activity, to establish the causes, mechanisms and essence of the values conflict in resource management; intersectional and integrated management principles methods to formulate agreed methodological bases of implementation in practice standards value balanced, integrated management of natural resources in the algorithm: values/needs → motives/interests → goals → actions. Findings. Integrated basis of choice certain purposes, means and conditions of work in the context of existing social and economic relations by subject, social group or whole society are the values as they genetically accumulate diversity of needs and interests of the public. It was found that introduction into practice the principles of sustainable use of natural resources slows down a “conflict of values” hat generates conflict of appropriate reasons / interests, goals and actions. It is the result of ideological and management conflict between the principles of environmental use of natural resources and sustainable development paradigms. Originality. Due to the simultaneous analysis of interdependent social, economic and ecological (from selected environmental) facets of natural resources significance in contexts of anthropocentric and bio-centric paradigms it was found axiological essence of the problem of choosing by subjects of undertaking a certain value as a priority and relevant obstacles in implementation of sustainable use of natural resources standards. It was established that “the conflict of values” is the result of essentially and hierarchically diverse, complex conflict, engendered by essential backlog development of the society value system from changes its rational needs, contradiction in material and spiritual values, which escalates under the permeating influence processes of informatization, globalization and integration, resulting in growth of commercialism, resources and influence spheres redistribution activation, increasing the number and scale of different threats, development of environmental awareness. To solve the conflict of values and corresponding interests, motives and actions, it is necessary to develop principles of finding compromise solutions and mechanisms for their implementation. Practical value. It was established that to ensure a balanced development of economy, society and sustainable space it is necessary the simultaneous consideration in management of the entire triad values – social, economic, ecological and especially environmental. It was proved that only this approach will help to ensure priority of security interest versus resource interest, implementation in practice ecological, economic, and integrated management standards as well as facilitate the transition from anthropocentric paradigm of rational use of natural resources for sustainable use of all values, even those that are not currently have significant market demand and, consequently, proper registration, protection, conservation and reproduction – ecological, cultural and other non-raw materials.
