Complex assessment of sustainable development of state regions with emphasis on ecological and dwelling conditions

Ecology is one of the major aspects of economic and social development of state regions, and environmental problems are not incidentally considered in a separate section in annually published statistical reference books providing the relevant data. Quantitative evaluation of environmental conditions in particular regions of the country is of major importance in working out measures (investments and the like) aimed at reducing pollution. Analysis of the sustainable development of regions is complicated because the number of the criteria to be considered is usually large. In this case, multicriteria evaluation methods allowing a structured system of criteria to be expressed by a single generalizing criterion should be used. The proposed methods may be applied to a quantitative assessment of environmental con ditions in a region. Calculations confirmed the practical value of the methods offered in the present paper.
