Socio-ecological and economic efficiency of the territories of forestry

Abstract

The article proposes a new paradigm for assessing the socio-ecological and economic efficiency of the state of forestry territories on the example of one of the Russian regions. The traditional model of economic growth in forestry has now run out of steam, since the economic growth in forestry is primarily a quantitative characteristic and cannot be sustained indefinitely, while economic development that improves the quality of life without increasing the consumption of forest resources can be sustainable. The transition to a new paradigm of o involves the formation of a set of interrelated and mutually dependent economic, social, political and other processes based on the organization of such a system that is able to resolve emerging internal and external contradictions. The socio-ecological and economic efficiency of forestry territories is calculated considering the correlation coefficients, which allows us to identify the proximity and direction of the relationship of the studied indicators. The calculated performance indicators can be further used in regional management for an adequate diagnosis of the current situation in forestry, identifying cause-and-effect relations between indicators and parameters of territory development.
