Annotation: The relevance of the issue is determined by the importance of achieving sustainable development of the region without harming the environment. At the present stage, there are problems associated with environmental pollution, as well as with climate changes that are irreversible. In this regard, the views of scientists and practitioners should be directed towards the forming of a new model of economic growth without harming the environment, formed in the concept of sustainable development. The purpose of the presented research is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of sustainable development of regions and calculate the sustainable development index. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of an original author’s methodology for assessing the level of sustainable development of regions. The methodological tools used in the article include the application of a systematic approach, in which a set of methods and techniques was used: content analysis, statistical methods of analysis, generalization, rating, graphical and tabular methods of data visualization. As a result of the research, a methodology for assessing the level of sustainable development of Russian regions has been developed, a sustainable development index has been calculated, and the place of each region in the sociosphere-economy-technosphere-ecology system has been determined. The presented research results will be useful to public authorities for the forming of regional policy.

Annotation: The purpose of the study is to substantiate promising directions for further development of the management concept of economic competition. The relevance of the research is due to both the important role of the management concept in the modern theory of economic competition and the stagnation of its development, and the need to expand the range of the studied objects of managerial influence and detail the structure of the management process studied within this concept. The research was carried out by dialectical, systemic, comparative-analytical methods, methods of induction, deduction, scientific abstraction, normative, positive analysis and synthesis. The main results of the research are: a list of promising areas for further scientific research within the framework of the management concept of economic competition, the author’s definitions of the categories “competitive disadvantage of the socio-economic system”, “competitive potential of the socio-economic system”, “management of the competitive environment of the socio-economic system”, author’s classification of the types of competitive potential of the socio-economic system, as well as the author’s characteristic of the main stages and directions of the process of managing the competitive potential of the socio-economic system.

Annotation: The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the water resources of the Republic of Crimea and the State of Israel. The Republic of Crimea and Israel are similar in terms of their territory parameters, physical and geographical features, in which the climate plays a special role. The purpose of the article is to compare existing approaches and innovative technological solutions that have revolutionized the use of water resources and the development of irrigation in Israel, and in the Crimea can be used to achieve this.

Annotation: Methods for analysis of the efficiency of the use of personnel in the organization is presented in the article. For many years, economists and scientists have been developing various methods for analyzing the state and use of the organization’s personnel and payroll. Existing methods are constantly being complemented and expanded due to constantly changing market conditions. The article presents methods of analysis of efficiency of use of personnel proposed by numerous domestic scientists, and the author’s method of analysis is presented.

Annotation: The issues of water supply in the countries of Central Asia have become significantly more complicated at the present. Territorial uneven distribution of water resources and their limitations, continuously increasing water consumption lead to competing demand for water at the national, regional and international levels. The ratio between water needs and the possibilities of meeting them in this region is quite unfavorable. Water scarcity and deterioration of its quality are serious challenges that many countries in the region have already faced. The key issue determining the stability of the internal situation in Central Asia is the implementation of measures aimed at increasing the available water resources. The analysis of the dynamics and forecasts of water consumption clearly indicate that the coming century will be characterized for humanity by the search for solutions to the problem of water resources, and will become for the world community a period of solving the problems of mutually beneficial sharing of water resources between states on the basis of large-scale territorial redistribution of water resources.
