Environmental arrangements of urban authority



 

The solve of ecological and economic problems of our town development depends on a connection between state arrangements and creative initiative of working collective, as well as on a principled environment protection position of the local authority organizations, enterprises leaders, public organizations, state supervisory organs, finally, each habitant.

The new management principles condition a necessity of new approaches to solving of ecological urban problems. The peculiarities of market mechanism influence on nature use are increase of payment principle for natural resources using and pollution’s, decrease of central investing contribution, creation of possibilities for nature protection crediting and insurance etc.

In conditions of economic crisis this influence of market factors on resource potential is very contradictory and has as negative disposition so positive one. To our opinion, in such a situation it is expedient to employ the levers of administrative adjustment, supplementing by market arrangements of economic stimulation of rational use and protection of natural resources. A base for such a system is a payment complex for natural resources and losses that were damaged natural environment by any unit.

Making more ecology of public production is of great importance. It considers as arrangements system of economic, legal, organizational and technological disposition, aimed to nature protective properties of economic processes, with wide application of straight and mediated methods of ecological adjustment.

Increase of ecological and economic unbalance takes place because of low level of ecological consciousness, too. At the same timed, according to common survival and humanism principles, the namely ecological imperatives compose a background for new public relates and gradual structural transformation of economy, determining the rates and proportions of economic development.

Finally, there is an objective necessity to develop a conception and program of ecological revival and steady development of Kyiv, where it is necessary to coordinate social, ecological and economic interests of the town. A long-term conception is ought to be aimed to getting qualitative parameters of natural sphere of Kyiv population vital functions. The main task on nearest perspective is the environment destruction stopping and its gradual improvement hereafter.

The ecological situation Kyiv is difficult, but quite under the control and on the whole can be characterized as stable.
