Environmental Aspects of the Formation and Development of Priority Development Areas in the Far East of Russia

The modern development of the regions of the Far East of Russia is carried out in the format of priority development areas. Their formation and functioning are predetermined by the necessity of avoiding the export and raw materials model of development in the process of diversification of the territorial and sectoral structure of the economy. A special legal regime and attractive economic conditions create prerequisites for attracting investment in a wide range of activities, while the environmental aspects of this activity are not indicated either in official documents or in the environmental and resource regulations of production. The urgency of the problem lies in the fact that a significant proportion of production will be formed here for the first time. At the same time, the priority development areas should develop in the conditions of modern requirements of world development, designated by the conceptual guidelines of the green economy model. Based on the analysis of 175 enterprises created in the priority development areas, the main trends in the development of these territories are indicated, the emerging sectoral structure, and the compliance with the priorities of the green economy model are shown. It has been established that a significant share of production does not meet the model's provisions due to raw material specialization of the economy, the underutilization of the resource potential for environmentally significant industries and ignoring the requirements in the application of green innovation. The real achievements in expanding the spectrum of less environment-consuming sectors that provide for the diversification of the structure of the regional economy are noted. Economic preferences are dominant in the development of priority development areas, the environmental aspects of their functioning do not fully reflect the desire to get closer to the requirements of the green economy model.
