The Methodical Bases of Evaluation of Sustainable Territory Development

Abstract

Ensuring sustainable development of the country requires the availability of objective information about the level of such development, as well as the formation of an effective methodology for evaluation. The method of determining the efficiency of sustainable development should take attention of all territorial, national and other features of territories and thus be as efficient as possible. In the application of foreign methods there are difficulties associated with the need to modify them in accordance with the Ukrainian conditions. And this, in turn, makes relevant the search for a unique method developed for Ukraine only. As a result of the given research the method of production of the maximum entropy is suggested, and on the basis of the proposed method the integral indicator of sustainable development is defined. This methodology allows to evaluate the level of sustainable development of the territories taking account of the balance between social, economic, and ecological components.
