The article is devoted to a comprehensive assessment and improvement of the level of
regional development on the basis of determining the effectiveness of the mechanism
of sustainable development of the region, developing methodical principles for the
formation of regional and local strategies for ensuring sustainable development.
The purpose is to substantiate the methodology and means of integral assessment to
implement the principle of equalization of sustainable development of regions in the
aspect of information and innovation support by means of theories of social development,
systems, clustering of the economy and economic information theory.
A methodological approach was proposed for assessing the level and trends of sustainable
development of the region, based on the analysis of declarations, program
and final documents of UN conferences on economic, social and environmental issues.
The approach is based on the use of an integral index whose evaluation and analysis
results can be used to solve problems and are implemented in the process of making
sound management decisions. This approach made it possible to formulate, by means
of factor analysis, a refined system of indicators that characterize economic, social and
environmental sustainability parameters.
The typical groups of industrial regions of Ukraine were identified and the level of
socio-ecological and economic development was assessed. This made it possible, based
on the procedures for reducing the dimension and constructing generalized indicators,
to calculate the rating for each calculated integral indicator as a generalized estimate.
The calculations that have been carried out make it possible to determine the trends
of sustainable development of individual regions on the factors of development and to
justify promising directions for effective growth and negative trends, which require the
greatest attention from the state authorities and local self-government bodies.
