Abstract:

The relevance of the work is due to the transdisciplinary nature of the sustainable development problem, which has led to an increase in the number of studies in various fields of science; however, insufficient progress in achieving sustainable development goals required the development of new methods not only for knowledge production, but also for their integration into management decision-making. The study aims to develop recommendations for the integration of scientific knowledge into the practice of managing sustainable development of the regions in the Russian Federation so as to shift to the strategies focused on assessment and learning. Methodologically, the research relies on a combination of the systems, evolutionary, and functional approaches to the maintenance of regional systems’ sustainable development. The study applies the methods of analysis and synthesis, conceptual and functional modelling to build logical-semantic and descriptive models of scientific developments’ integration into regional management. As a result of the research, the authors transform analytical support structure of political decisions, which now involves the creation of scientific missions; develop tools for measuring the sustainable development of a region to be introduced into key management functions at all stages of the management cycle; create an algorithm for preparing decisions that comprises four stages: conceptualisation, modelling, measurement, and assessment. The implementation of these developments will provide an opportunity for continuous monitoring and adjustment of sustainable development policies at each stage of the management cycle, which in turn, will increase the flexibility and transparency of regional policy for stakeholders, raise their involvement and contribute to deeper changes towards a better future.

Keywords: sustainable development; region; scientific mission; integration; decision-making.
