Анотація

The article analyzes the links between environmental factors and the quality of life in regions. It emphasizes the importance of environmental security as a fundamental element of sustainable development that directly impacts citizens’ well-being. The authors identify the key aspects determining quality of life in the context of ecology, including environmental conditions, the availability of environmentally friendly resources and technologies, pollution levels, and the impact of urbanization. The purpose of the article is to explore the relationship between the quality of life and environmental conditions, taking into account economic, social, and managerial aspects. The analysis is based on an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the principles of ecological economics, social ecology, and regional policy to develop a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms ensuring sustainable regional development. In this context, ecological economics provides tools for assessing the interaction between economic activities and environmental conditions, social ecology examines the impact of environmental changes on population well-being, and regional policy facilitates the implementation of sustainable development strategies at the local level. The need to integrate these approaches to create an effective regional natural resource management strategy is emphasized. The article proposes recommendations for improving environmental security by promoting green technologies, raising public environmental awareness, and enhancing regional policies considering social and economic factors. The study underlines the need to integrate environmental factors into regional development strategies. The key recommendations include: developing a methodology for assessing the quality of life that incorporates environmental factors; implementing the tools of ecological economics for the rational use of natural resources; strengthening social ecology through environmental education and public initiatives; enhancing regional planning by considering environmental risks and opportunities. The study concludes that forming a comprehensive sustainable development strategy is essential to maintaining a harmonious balance between environmental, economic, and social components in a constantly changing environment. The study emphasizes that sustainable regional development depends on a holistic understanding of the links between the economy, society, and the environment. Only through comprehensive and inclusive approaches can policymakers create resilient and liveable communities. The proposed recommendations can serve as a guideline for future research and policy initiatives in the pursuit of an optimal balance between economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection.
