Abstract

The marine coastal zone is characterized by extremely intense natural processes. It is also an area of particularly intense economic expansion. This makes it necessary to consider the coastal zone as a single eco-socio-economic system, which takes into account the variability of the spatial scale of the impact and stability of the existing processes – from local to district and further to regional and global levels. This requires comprehensive monitoring of the sustainability not only of regions but also of lower-level territories. However, at present, there are no unified methods for determining the sustainability of such coastal territorial systems. The paper proposes a criterion-statistical approach to assess the sustainability of local coastal eco-socio-economic systems in the form of a complex system of indicators by three factors of sustainability: natural-ecological, economic and social ones. As a result, it becomes possible to obtain quantitative estimates for individual factors and those in the form of a comprehensive integral index of the sustainability of the local coastal eco-socio-economic system. The application of the approach allows assessing the sustainability of local coastal systems and performing an appropriate spatial analysis, with the identification of stable (key) and unstable local coastal systems as territorial units of the local level of governance. This approach is universal and is approved in 18 local Black Sea coastal municipalities of the Krasnodar Krai. In the future, the approach will be used for implementation of the Coastal eco-socio-economic systems of the Krasnodar Krai GIS, which will allow for spatial territorial planning and forecasting of sustainable development of coastal eco-socio-economic systems at all levels of governance (regional, district and local)..

Acknowledgments

The reported study was funded by RFBR and Krasnodar Krai Administration, project number 19-45-230001. The detailed information on certain areas of the Black Sea coast from the Taman Peninsula to Anapa was obtained partly with the assistance of the RFBR (project number 20-05-00009) and that for areas from Anapa to the Psou River was obtained with the assistance of the RSF (project number 20-17-00060).
