The Legal Environment and Regional Activity
The specifics of the current socioeconomic situation and the state and prospects of development of Russian regions and municipalities are largely determined by the legal environment, which forms under the strongest influence of the “federal presence”—centralization of the federal government in a decentralized state. In fact, the legal field of Russian municipal activity is completely federal: the list of jurisdictions and powers is closed, the ty…
Assessment of climate change impacts on buildings, structures and infrastructure in the Russian regions on permafrost
Russian regions containing permafrost play an important role in the Russian economy, containing vast reserves of natural resources and hosting large-scale infrastructure to facilitate these resources’ exploitation. Rapidly changing climatic conditions are a major concern for the future economic development of these regions. This study examines the extent to which infrastructure and housing are affected by permafrost in Russia and estimates the as…
The Russian Phenomenon of Megalopolis-Type Cities
Global urban science has established the notion of a megalopolis (a city with a population of over 10 mln people), the characteristics of which, after publication of the classical work by J. Gottman and the results of numerous studies by foreign and domestic scientists, were described in detail, making it possible to isolate megalopolises into a separate group of settlements that play a leading role in global and national socioeconomic systems. I…
Organization of systemic monitoring of the macroregions’ development
In connection with targeted distinguishing of the territories expanding beyond the borders of one or more federal subjects as objects for state regulation, the concept of a macroregion is clarified. The specific features of a macroregion as a holistic object of statistical observation and monitoring are demonstrated using specific examples. Multiple regulatory acts governing the organization of state monitoring are analyzed. A case study of Russi…
Sustainable development planning and green construction for building resilient cities
Within the international sustainable development goals agreed in 2015, strengthening of cities’ resilience is especially important, providing for urban communities’ effective preparedness, response to, recovery from as well as adaptation to hazardous impacts of multiple agents including those of environmental and climate change. Cities’ resilience rests upon natural, social, political, human, economic and built capitals, with the built capital be…
Economic effects of the disastrous flood in the Russian Far East in 2013
This article considers a general algorithm and elements of damage assessment from natural disasters at the macroeconomic level in a case study analyzing the direct economic consequences of a catastrophic flood in the Russian Far East in autumn 2013. Based on the data collected by the author from various sources and original calculations, estimates are provided for the direct economic damage to different sectors of the regional economy and the reg…
Climate change as a major slow-onset hazard to development
The paper considers climate change from a hazard to economic development and public security perspective. Integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction policies is substantiated, building upon resilience concept as a unique methodological basis and civil protection measures as a common practice. Specific recommendations to implement this integration are introduced
Reflections
Reflections on environmental hazards’ issues take me over 25 years back to Chernobyl radiation disaster. Originally this major catastrophic event stemmed from social and technological failures and
Climate change
Community resilience and vulnerability to disasters
This paper contrasts the resilience to disasters of megacities with small towns, using vulnerability as a key variable. As an instrument of this comparison a formal model of the communities' vulnerability, further deconstructed into a set of specific modules, is developed and used. It is argued that the megacities' high resilience capacity in the main ensures only a debilitating (although undoubtedly major) effect on them by disaster agents. Mean…
Development policy
The scale and severity of environmental deterioration in Russia—and its accompanying hazards—constitute a true environmental crisis. Its characteristic features are a gradual continuing loss of environmental quality accompanied by acute environmental impacts associated with industrial accidents and related emergencies. The underlying causes are a mixture of political and social factors in association with the unbridled technological development. …
