Theoretical and methodological bases of rational
use the weather-climatic resources

 

This article is devoted to theoretical and systemic nature in the area of the Economy of nature exploitation arising in the process of introducing a new category of "weather-climatic resource."

Using analytical strategies and based on a system-parametric approach, the concept of " weather-climatic resource" is integrated on the basis of semantically related concepts. On the one hand, the concept of weather-climatic resources deployed as a configurator of these components: the weather-climatic potential, natural resources and vital potential (both social and spiritual). On the other hand, the concept of weather-climatic resources integrated on the basis of two other basic concepts: natural resources and life support level (quality of life) [1].

If weather-climatic resources, we consider how any sources and prerequisites of obtaining the necessary for the people of material and spiritual goods, then antiresources - the prerequisites of material, spiritual loss, etc. [2]. With the help of this concept may solve the problem of identifying the factors that lead to positive or negative impact of weather-climatic resources on economic development, i.e. factors (conditions) that promote or hinder economic growth of regions and the state. Information about weather-climatic resources as one of the most important natural resources, is also the public domain, because all human development is based on the development and processing of information from the environment and accumulate society.

What is the scope of the concept, where it can be effective? In our opinion, it should be considered as a scale on which to weigh the various political, economic and social acts. For example, when levels of authority to make any decision, it can be evaluated in terms of which way - improvements, or vice versa, or even worsening weather-climatic destruction of the resource - it works. This is perfectly acceptable indicator specifying the many controversial arguments about the economic or social expediency of public utility etc. [3].

This article presents the vision of a non-standard and a new look at the weather-climatic conditions, which is the translation of weather-climatic conditions in the resources. Why is this happening, what has caused? Such a interpretation shall entail series of further questions that arise among theorists and specialists in the field of traditional economic theory of vision. In the plane of the economy of nature exploitation visible blurring of categorical display basic conceptual thought, which is due to the fact that the theoretical basis of this specialty is underdeveloped. This is exacerbated by Ukraine's transition to new economic conditions.

On the one hand, in the sphere of the production all forms of property rights are clearly defined, the relations of production are determined, the cost is also clear in the area of relations on the use environmental and natural resources, but there are many unresolved issues. For example, there is no clear definition of the cost of land also is not clearly defined who it belongs as property, both in the cities and on the whole territory of Ukraine. In this regard, it is necessary to develop a new categorical and conceptual apparatus and related theoretical propositions that could organize our thinking and to determine the future direction of scientific research.

Currently, there is a general trend, both in Ukraine and in Russia, translation, for example, environmental conditions in the facilities. This is due to the fact that the services must be paid, and we are in the process of capitalization, enter the stringent capital relationships related to nature exploitation. It is also associated with the new relationships that are formed in the economic relations of production nature. They are mediated by social and economic shifts that are happening in our society at the present time, which results in difficulties arising theoretical character.

Considered the question of transfer weather-climatic conditions in life is extremely important, because when considering the resource, more tangible than the weather-climatic conditions, we can calculate it in some way. In this case, our minds are focused on the developed methodology. We can assess the damage from the use weather-climatic resources, we know level of resources used, that is able to assess them. But, in the use weather-climatic resources, it is necessary to take into account their non-linear, which means that we can determine the value of weather and climate conditions in the traditional sense, a business entity form through the development weather-climatic resources in a particular area . Unambiguous assessment weather-climatic resources for today does not exist, we have to resolve tensions arise even in theory, non-linear approach to the problem, based on the particular situation, which is subject to review.

Weather-climatic conditions significantly affect the nature of the space, whether it is a region or reverse differentiation from climate change: what area of ​​a particular combination weather-climatic conditions, the most efficient use of a economic activity. In that case, the economy is seen as a tool of human interaction with nature. This is the theoretical promise for further development of the theory economy of nature exploitation.

Resource and an opposite antiresours - this is the delta on which our efforts are oriented in order to effectively use a particular space in a particular economic activity. With this approach, the contradiction and the opportunity to raise and enable questions economization of environmental problems, including the problem of the use weather-climatic resources.

It should be noted that the weather-climatic resources, weather-climatic conditions - an extremely difficult object to study [4]. There is a lot in terms of economic relations, and uncertainties. Diverting these uncertainties in a certain plane, understandable, and we learned, is an extremely actual problem. Really, taking it to estimated economic categories in the plane of the market economy also lies in the definition of property relations. Undefined property relations in the use weather-climatic resources cause problems with theoretical approaches to evaluation designs.

In scientific works of Nobel Prize winners, namely, Milton Friedman, Theodore Schultz, Ronald Coase, Gary Becker, Elinor Ostrom, Elliot Alvin Roth shows a restriction of market-based solutions of fundamental strategic goals of sustainable social and economic development, market practices in the management of natural resources. This is, of course, raises the question of unification of administrative and market methods of determining the cost-effectiveness of market-based methods of management and also consider the desirability of using administrative methods in each case.

Economic assessment weather-climatic resources and antiresources - it is their monetary value, defined in terms that can be used in the design and management. Economic evaluation, first (with respect to resource estimates) characterizes the economic results of their use, and second (with respect to environment assessment) reflects the impact of the economic consequences on the natural environment. The most common are the latest indicators of economic losses from pollution, violations of the natural environment.

Economic evaluation of weather-climatic resource is the definition of public utility of weather-climatic resources in absolute (monetary) or relative (expressed in points) indicators. In the analysis of weather-climatic resources (mathematical) take notice of the necessary (economic requirements) and sufficient (existing capacity) conditions [5].

         The economic essence of resource categories and antiresource related to income, profits, use the opportunity to obtain material goods. The criteria for these categories should be associated with their use, namely, with the efficiency of use under certain conditions. To antiresource - a measure of potential risks, damages, his functional ability. When categorical description the antiresource primarily seen him substantial side and its properties, the ability to apply the criterion assessment of his abilities. These are the positive effects of it (the result) and efficiency when the effect is compared with the costs. The positive is the cost of using antiresources, and the negative - the cost of repairing the damage from antiresources.

Economic damage from the weather-climatic resource - this is actual or potential economic and social costs that result from abnormal, catastrophic or long-acting adverse weather phenomena [6]. Stands out direct damage - are expenses for remediation of impacts, underproduction of industrial, agricultural products, violation of traffic operations, etc., and indirect damage - it damages arising from any adverse effects on the productive forces of society, by people (an increase of morbidity, disability, psychological effects, frustration (for example, tourists about recreational facilities).

As criteria can be used indicators of changes the dynamics of resources and antiresources. Scale of criteria must take into account three types of criteria: nature protection, anthropoecological and economic.

The main features of weather-climatic resources:

-       The ability to self-regulation of quantitative and qualitative status;

-       The ability to go from one qualitative state to another as a result of evolution, and under the influence of human impacts;

-       Relation particular condition, and estimates of weather-climatic resources with the conditions of human activity, the dependence of qualitative states weather-climatic resources from technological method, the nature and intensity of production and non-production activities of people;

-       The dependence of the quantity and quality of each resource on the amount, the quality and changes of other resources.

Summary of the economic-ecological bases of rational use weather-climatic resources is to develop a theoretical-methodological and methodical basis of interconnected ecological and economic policy:

1)       as a complex of economic and organizational measures in sphere of use weather-climatic resources and appropriate response to the situation of manifestations antiresources;

2)       as a complex of official views, positions, principles ​​and norms that define the orientation of the activities government and different institutions in dealing economic-ecological problems associated with accounting and use of weather-climatic resources;

3)       the development of national programs and projects to prevent dangerous weather-climatic changes and their economic and environmental impacts.
