Abstract: - The article's purpose is to apply design management in forming an innovative model of sustainable
development with adaptation to regional features in conditions of global turbulence. Indicators and indicators
for evaluating the quality of functioning of the model of sustainable development laid down in the goals of
sustainable development for the regions of Ukraine with their systematization and certain additions are
proposed. Based on the results of the calculations, we will receive the results of achievements in the field of
implementation of the model of sustainable development of the Black Sea region of Ukraine both in terms of
the general economic, social, and ecological components and in terms of indicators, which will create
prerequisites for making management decisions regarding the revision of goals, improvement of influence
tools, optimization of transformational processes. The results of the evaluation of the implementation of the
Sustainable Development Goals of the Black Sea Region of Ukraine made it possible to propose the design of
an innovative model of sustainable development of the region in conditions of global turbulence. The design
management of the innovative model of sustainable development covers the main principles, criteria,
mechanisms, and tools for implementing sustainable development goals in the regions, which can be integrated
into the management systems of state and regional projects at different levels. The model of sustainable
development of the region is focused on ensuring the continued functioning of the regional system based on
self-organization processes based on the gradual improvement of potential technologies and management
mechanisms, taking into account existing achievements and shortcomings through the establishment of
horizontal and vertical communications and the development of adaptive qualities of its components.

1 Introduction
Ukraine's socioeconomic, regulatory, legal, and
organizational-management transformations have
been mainly innovative in recent years. Several
administrative, economic, legal, defense, and
energy reforms have been initiated. The
implementation of reforms in the complex is
intended to facilitate the gradual integration of the
economy of Ukraine into the European economic
and political space, to unify the strategic goals and
vision of the country's development according to
the best world standards, to create conditions for
the implementation of the Sustainable Development
Strategy based on the balance of economic tasks,
social justice, and environmental security. In this
context, many practical steps and achievements
have been made: the Sustainable Development
Goals have been approved, monitoring of their
implementation at the national and regional levels
has been organized, the processes of digitalization
of public administration are actively underway, the
decentralization reform has been implemented,
which opens up new opportunities for the
sustainable development of communities and
territories, taking into account the specifics of their
natural, economic, human potential and cultural
heritage, the concept of inclusive growth and
competitiveness is implemented. However, despite
the positive trends and achievements, an effectively
functioning model of innovative provision of
sustainable development of regions has yet to be
created. Among the main problems of the
formation and implementation of such a model are
the low level of integration of the scientific
research sphere and the real sector of the economy,
the low innovation activity of enterprises and
organizations caused by the lack of investment in
innovation activity, the weakness of the state
system of stimulation, support, and support of
innovation-oriented projects in the field of
sustainable development, the conflict of the process
of balancing the goals of sustainable development
at different management levels.
2 Literature Review
We agree with the opinion of [1], that the factors
determining the sustainability of the region's
development are:
"- social development (demography, household
services, etc.); - optimization of the economic
structure of the region in terms of the type of
extended reproduction (labor-, fund-, resource-
saving), which ensures the maximum economy of
public labor in the region; formation of intensive
foreign economic and interregional ties;
- weakening of the negative economic
consequences of economic development and
exploitation of the territory of the region;
- the creation of a regional innovation complex,
necessary for maintaining the sustainable pace of
development of the region and ensuring its
competitiveness".
In [2], the topics covered include the
development of sustainable housing models, energy
and environmental issues in building design and
technical systems, recycling for a sustainable
future, models for humanitarian emergencies, and
low-cost and web-based digital tools with
applications in architecture and archaeology.
This paper will describe a model for the
development of sustainable innovations. The model
focuses on idea generation in the early phase of the
innovation process, addressing the fuzzy front end
of innovation. In this context, specific goals and
principles of sustainable development are
integrated into a problem-solving approach, [3].
The proposed model contributes to the expansion of
innovation capability theory by shaping the
innovations within the scope of social needs, which
could be applied in other settings, [4].
The current economic and social crisis invites
us to discuss “sustainable innovation” or
“environmental innovation” as a basis for a new
techno-economic (and social) paradigm founded on
savings of energy and resources and the
development of renewable energies. The economic
analysis of the relationship between innovation and
performance should include the environmental
constraint as the ultimate limit of the development
of capitalism, [5].

regions was studied by scientists by the goals of
Sustainable Development, [6]. Likewise, the study
of world experience in the formation of an
innovative model of sustainable development has
been studied by many scientists, [7].
Therefore, the formation of an innovative
model of sustainable development should be
preceded by a detailed analysis and assessment of
the region's current state in the context of
compliance with the main parameters of its
functioning with the goals of sustainable
development. Such an assessment will allow us to
identify the primary "gaps" as well as the strengths
of the region and to develop appropriate strategies
and programs.
3 Materials and Methods
To evaluate the quality of functioning of the model
of sustainable development of the region, indicators
and indicators are proposed in the work, which are
laid down in the goals of sustainable development
for the regions of Ukraine with their
systematization and certain additions. It is proposed
to measure the compliance of these indicators at the
regional level on a 100% scale, which will
contribute to the unification of indicators and the
simplification of analytical support for decision-
making. The process of assessing the quality of
functioning of the sustainable development model
of the region is proposed to be carried out in four
stages:
1) Formation of a database of indicators of
sustainable development of the region in terms of
indicators of economic (X), social (Y) and
environmental direction (E);
2) Determination of normative ()
indicator values, which can serve as data of the
comparative period, planned indicators or reference
values achieved in other regions;
3) Assessment of achievements at the level of
indicators is carried out according to the following
formulas:
- for indicators of stimulants:
(1)
- for indicators de stimulants:
(2)
Where, - the level of achievements of the region
according to the i-th indicator of sustainable
development;
- the actual value of the indicator;
- normative value of the indicator.
The assessment of achievements (integrated
indicator) at the level of indicators of sustainable
development is carried out according to the simple
average formula:
(3)
According to this methodical approach, the
indicators for evaluating the goals of sustainable
development presented in [8], which are
highlighted in the 17 Goals of sustainable
development, are grouped according to the
directions of sustainable development of the
regions into three blocks, namely: economic block
(X), social block (Y) and ecological block (E).
Within each block, the most relevant indicators
from the author's point of view are selected. As a
result of the calculations, we will receive the results
of achievements in the field of implementation of
the model of sustainable development of the region
both in terms of the general economic, social, and
ecological components and in terms of indicators,
which will create prerequisites for making
management decisions regarding the revision of
goals, improvement of influence tools, optimization
of transformational processes. Furthermore, the
creation of an information base using the proposed
approaches and the organization of periodic
monitoring of the implementation processes of the
sustainable development model will contribute to
the self-organization and self-improvement of the
model.
4 Results and Discussion
The assessment of the quality and effectiveness of
the model of sustainable development according to
the proposed approaches was carried out on the
example of the Black Sea region. Using the data
presented in the report, [8] and statistical data for
the regions of the Black Sea region, [9], the
deviations of the indicators of the regions from the
average data for the regions of Ukraine by
economic, ecological, and social block were
calculated.
They were using formulas 1-3. standardized
values relative to the average level and complex
indicators of economic achievements of sustainable
development of the Black Sea region in the section
of the central regions were calculated. The results
of the calculations are presented in Table 1.

The results of the calculations show the
regions' strengths and "gaps" in terms of the
leading indicators of economic development
compared to the average values achieved in the
regions of Ukraine. Thus, the lowest level of
economic development is observed in the Kherson
region. The obtained integrated indicator is only
60% of the regional achievements achieved on
average. Weaknesses of the region include, first of
all, the low level of investment and innovation
activity. The level of creation of high-tech products
in the regions is only 0.11%, and the level of
involved investments per capita is 31,000 dollars
USA. Odesa region is leading in terms of such
indicators as the share of investments in machinery,
equipment, and inventory in the structure of
investments in tangible assets, the share of exports
of goods with the use of high and medium-high-
level technologies in the production of goods in the
total volume of goods exports, and the employment
rate of the population aged 15–70. These indicators
are higher than the average for other regions. At the
same time, the level of innovation costs (0.7%) in
GRP, the share of realized high-tech products, and
direct investments per person of the population are
shallow.
The highest level of achievements regarding
the economic component of sustainable
development at the beginning of 2020 is observed
in the Mykolaiv region. The region leads in 4
indicators out of 10. Positive for the region's
development in 2019 is the start of a pilot project
on SMART specialization, which would attract
additional volumes of foreign investment in the
development of the food industry and organic
agriculture. Despite some movement in this
direction, SMART specialization projects are still
in progress. Quarantine measures related to the
COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively affected
the advancement of all projects in the regions, were
the main inhibiting factors. As in other regions of
the Black Sea region, the level of innovative
activity and technological efficiency of
manufactured products and services is low, which
creates barriers to forming an innovative model of
competitive economic development.
This indicates that the existing innovation
potential needs to be increased. The region needs to
strengthen the innovative component of
development, intensify efforts to develop and
implement innovative technologies, build
innovative infrastructure, and develop cooperation
with international partners in scientific and
technical support and development. The following
assessment component analyzes the region's
achievements in the social sphere. The actual
indicators of social development in Ukraine and the
regions of the Black Sea region, which are used for
evaluation according to the social block of
sustainable development, are grouped.
Using the data in the table, the comparative
indicators of the state of the social block of the
goals of sustainable development of the region
were calculated. The results of the calculations are
given in Table 2.

The indicators from the calculations indicate
that social security in the region corresponds to the
level achieved in other regions on average. The
highest indicators of social security were achieved
in the Mykolaiv region due to the achieved level of
economic growth in previous periods. In particular,
the region has a developed communication
infrastructure, a relatively high level of social
infrastructure development, which is determined by
the level of enrollment of children in preschool
educational institutions (on average, 24% higher
than in Ukraine), a sufficiently high level of food
supply, medical care is organized at an appropriate
level. The most problematic issues still need to be
addressed regarding the computerization of schools
and the development of higher education
institutions.
Compared to the economic bloc, the situation
regarding social security by the goals of sustainable
development in the Kherson region is better. Thus,
in the region, relatively lower growth rates of
consumer prices are observed, a high level of
children's enrollment in preschool educational
institutions (20% higher than the average for
Ukraine), and the principle of gender equality is
observed.
The Odesa region leads in terms of educational
provision due to the high concentration of higher
mass institutions (more than 27% compared to
other regions), a comparatively lower index of
growth in consumer prices, and comparatively
lower poverty rates of the population. At the same
time, more development of social infrastructure
facilities and information and communication
networks is needed. The assessment of the social
and economic vector of sustainable development in
the Black Sea region showed that the region does
not use its unique potential of the sea economic
complex effectively enough.
In [10], the Black Sea region has a strong
maritime potential, which unites port enterprises,
shipping business, various service enterprises, etc.
Each subject of maritime economic activity has its
own economic interests. In the process of realizing
such interests, under the condition of increasing the
level of intensity of competition, economic entities
quite often ignore the need, even the obligation, to
take into account the general societal goal of
development and even the general goal of
increasing the level of competitiveness of the
region's transport complex. During the formation of
the development goal of the coastal region,
attention should be focused on the need to ensure
the balanced development of its transport complex.
Existing problems in innovation and
technological development require additional
attention from local authorities and self-
government. Issues related to forming
intersectional transport, food, and innovation
clusters are the subject of discussion. They are
under the close attention of regional management
bodies and the scientific and business community.

Specific initiatives are already being
implemented, but the mechanisms for
implementing these structures still need to be more
effective due to weak institutional capacity,
conflicts of interest that are not regulated by
domestic legislation, and the lack of a clear strategy
and action plan. Analyzing the block of
environmental indicators of sustainable
development it should be noted that by 2022,
environmental safety indicators in all regions of the
region were significantly better than the average for
Ukraine.
As can be seen from the table, in all regions of
the region, the indicators of atmospheric air
pollution through emissions from stationary and
mobile sources of pollution, a high level of water
supply to the population, a low share of polluted
water discharges, and the generation of high-hazard
waste are several times lower. All this is due
primarily to the need for more concentration of
chemical, heavy, and extractive industrial facilities.
A significant advantage in the region is also a
relatively high level of energy production from
renewable sources (wind and solar), which is
facilitated by appropriate climatic conditions—
using formulas 1-3. standardized values relative to
the average level and complex indicators of
ecological safety of the Black Sea region were
calculated in terms of the central regions. The
results of the calculations are presented in Table 3.
Despite the high comparative indicators of the
ecological situation of the Black Sea region, several
problematic issues must be resolved in forming and
implementing a sustainable, ecologically oriented
"green" development.
Such problems are pollution of the water area
of the Black and Azov seas due to artificial
accidents, reduction of fertility, soil erosion and
desertification of agricultural territories, climate
changes, which lead to a reduction in rainfall in
productive periods, and showers that lead to
flooding, high levels of current agricultural waste,
inefficient waste management technologies, etc.
To the main measures that need to be implemented
to improve the ecological situation in the regions of
the Black Sea region, scientist belongs to: "
- increasing the efficiency of the use and protection
of natural resources based on the reduction of
plowed land, stopping the degradation of grants,
and increasing their fertility;
- selection of optimal parameters for the use of the
region's natural resources;
- establishment and implementation of fines for
violation of conditions of use of natural resources;
- achieving a balanced ratio of lands in zonal land
use systems;
- formation of a highly efficient and productive
land use system as a reliable basis for solving the
food security of the region and the state;

- formation of adequate legal, economic, and
organizational prerequisites for rational water use;
- the creation of closed cycles of water use with
minimal water pollution;
- implementation of water-saving forms of
management; - restoring the functions of water
sources;
- attraction of investments in the renewal of the
tourist infrastructure of the region;
- restructuring and expansion of existing branches
of production;
- the creation of clusters between scientific
institutions, administrative bodies, financial
institutions, and enterprises of the region,
- development of agricultural production with a
focus on meat and dairy specialization", [11].
The results of calculations of integrated indicators
characterizing the achieved level of sustainable
development of the regions of the Black Sea region
at the beginning of 2020 are illustrated in Figure 1.
The conducted calculations showed that
compared to the average values for the regions of
Ukraine in the Black Sea region, in particular in the
Kherson region, a high level of environmental
safety had been achieved due primarily to the low
level of hazardous production waste generation and
atmospheric emissions, and the widespread use of
renewable energy sources. This is due primarily to
the peculiarities of the production potential of the
regions in which agricultural production and
processing prevail. As for the economic and social
component, the level of achievement of the average
value is, on average, 80%. The Black Sea region
has significant potential for implementing the
model of sustainable development. It is worth
highlighting the significant resource potential for
developing alternative energy. In the coastal
regions of Ukraine, the average annual wind speed
exceeds five m/s, which creates conditions for the
effective use of wind energy. The potential of solar
energy in the Black Sea region is 1400 kW/km.m -
on the same level as countries that actively use
solar energy (USA, Germany), [12].
The sustainable use of the resources of the
Maritime Complex, which is one of the leading
industries, is also an urgent problem of the
sustainable development of the regions of the Black
Sea region. Today, some of its sectors (sea
transport, port activities, tourism, and recreation)
are important for developing the global economy.
A paradigm shift in the use of such key and specific
resources is an important condition for the
formation of an innovative model of sustainable
development of the regions of the Black Sea region,
which will ensure not only economic growth and
competitiveness but will also have an impact on the
development of the national economy. Currently,
Ukraine is experiencing tragic and unprecedented
events of military aggression by the Russian
Federation in terms of the level of destruction of
economic and human potential, which by their
nature are not only turbulent for the economy and

society but also completely unpredictable in terms
of consequences for both regions and of Ukraine as
a whole.
The territories of the regions, in particular the
Black Sea region, have suffered significant
destruction and irreparable losses of economic,
human, and natural potential and ecological
damage. As a result of the full-scale war, the
ecological problems that existed in Ukraine before
its beginning became much more complicated. The
lack of access to the territories and objects of
environmental management, the loss and
destruction of infrastructure, the loss of personnel
and the limited ability to work, the suspension of
control measures, and the cancellation of the
obligation to pay environmental tax during the
period of martial law negatively affected the
opportunity to implement state management in the
field of environmental protection fully. This poses
a threat to the strategic goals of preserving
biodiversity, decreases the potential for absorbing
greenhouse gases, and increases the process of
desertification. Endemic species of plants and
animals are under critical threat; their
disappearance will have catastrophic consequences
for biodiversity on a planetary scale.
Military operations covered almost 3 million
hectares of forest in Ukraine. Because of the war,
more than 4.6 million people in Ukraine have
problems with access to drinking water.
Environmental and safety risks are growing,
hazardous waste from destruction and military
waste is generated, and 160,000 sq. km of
territories of Ukraine are contaminated with
explosive objects. As a result of the destruction of
buildings, a large amount of waste containing
ozone-depleting substances is generated,
particularly insulation materials, insulating foam,
etc. Pollution occurs due to the destruction of
transport and industrial infrastructure, which leads
to large-scale spills of oil products and other
hazardous substances, [13].
Thus, after the war, Ukraine and its regions will
face new problematic issues that require solving
and attracting significant financial resources.
Currently, the war is not over, and it is impossible
to calculate the casualties. However, the necessity
of forming a legislative framework and other basic
conditions for rebuilding the economy, overcoming
the consequences of environmental disasters, and
restoring human potential is already evident today.
Taking into account the significant destructive
consequences, we can say that the task is not just to
restore the potential of regions but to create
conditions for reengineering, that is, to build a new
ecologically oriented model of regional
development from scratch, based on available
resources and innovative technologies for their
processing into material goods.
Given this, the issue of implementing a model
of sustainable development based on innovation is
brought up to date after the victory, taking into
account the scale of the damage, available
resources, and the priority tasks of economic
recovery and development. At the same time, the
innovative model of sustainable development is the
most promising in the context of reengineering the
management of processes of revival and further
growth of regional systems. The concept of
reengineering also affects the enterprise level. This
is a method of radical business restructuring, a
revolutionary transformation of enterprise activity,
which was first described and introduced into
scientific and practical activity by American
researchers іn their book defined reengineering as
"a fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of
business processes to achieve significant
improvements in such key performance indicators
for modern business as costs, quality, service level,
and responsiveness", [14].
In the conditions of radical market
transformations caused by the rapid dynamics of
scientific and technological progress, reengineering
is considered a way of restructuring the business
for maximum adaptation to new conditions.
According to the definition of "reengineering of
business processes - targeted and systematic
modeling and reorganization of the material,
financial and information flows aimed at
simplifying the organizational structure,
redistribution and minimizing the use of various
resources, shortening the terms of the
implementation of customer needs, improving the
quality of their service and increasing the viability
of the company, which takes place in the
company's revolutionary use of crisis phenomena
and comprehensive improvement of business
processes", [15].
In current conditions, the principles and
approaches of reengineering are also relevant for
forming regional development models, especially
considering the study of military actions.
Therefore, in the research process, the model could
be considered a tool necessary for describing the
basic principles of formation, development, and
effective functioning of the created object.
According to its conceptual content, the region's
sustainable development model is innovative.

Fig. 2: Design of an innovative model of sustainable development of the region

However, due to the transition of socio-
economic systems to the processes of ensuring the
balance of the primary goals of sustainable
development, it is only possible with a significant
transformation of organizational design and
management, production, distribution, and
consumption technologies. Taking into account the
experience of the EU countries in the field of
formation of models of sustainable, competitive
development of regions, as well as theoretical and
methodological approaches to the formation of
socio-economic systems, we propose the design of
an innovative model of sustainable development of
the region, the implementation of which is possible
at various organizational and administrative levels
(Figure 2).
The design of this model reflects the main
principles, criteria, mechanisms, and tools for
implementing the goals of sustainable development
in the regions, which can be integrated into the
management systems of state and regional projects
at different levels. The model is formed based on
considering the region as an open system
interacting with the external environment,
purposefully carrying out transformational
processes, the results of which must satisfy the
criteria of sustainable development.
The model envisages the continuous
functioning of the regional system based on self-
organization, which is based on the gradual
improvement of potential, technologies, and
management mechanisms, taking into account the
existing achievements and shortcomings by
establishing horizontal and vertical
communications. In conditions of turbulence, the
model's effectiveness depends on its components'
adaptive qualities, primarily management systems,
tools of influence on transformational processes,
and technologies used. The main components of the
model are:
1) Inputs, which include all resources and
information that come from the conditional external
environment, namely: financial, material resources,
technology, and information from stakeholders.
2) Transformational processes include all
processes of ensuring the livelihood and
development of the region. At the same time,
process implementation technologies are focused
on the wide implementation of innovations aimed
at the economical use of resources, minimization of
energy consumption, reduction of harmful
emissions into the atmosphere and environmental
pollution, and human development. According to
modern approaches, an important factor in the
region's competitiveness is identifying and
developing key competitive advantages, which
allows concentrating efforts and limited financial
resources on the innovative development of
economic sectors, depending on the available
resource potential.
3) Criterion restrictions are a set of factors that
affect the sustainable development of the region,

which must be taken into account when developing
regional plans and programs (legislative acts
regulating the public management of territories, the
budget code, and other legislative acts; available
resource, financial, human resources potential of
the territory; level of infrastructure development;
no specific requirements)
4) Outputs as a result of transformational processes
that determine the quality of the functioning of the
model, taking into account the level of achievement
of the established sustainable development criteria
and their balance. We believe that in conditions of
turbulence and uncertainty, a model of sustainable
development of the region should be formed based
on reengineering.
That is the formation of fundamentally new
approaches to the organization and management of
the region based on the definition of the main,
service, and auxiliary business processes and
managing business processes for each of which it is
possible to establish clear criteria for the
effectiveness of implementation, taking into
account the goals of sustainable development. An
important role in the implementation of the
innovative concept of sustainable development
belongs to local communities, which, by the
decentralization reform, received broad powers and
additional financial resources that can be directed
to projects of socio-economic development of
territories, in particular, taking into account the
criteria of innovation and sustainable development.
To date, innovative territorial development models
based on well-founded smart strategies have been
developed and partially implemented. Standards
and criteria have been defined, which are used to
initiate and monitor the sustainable development
processes of communities at the stage of active
implementation of "smart city" projects in several
cities of Ukraine. Further implementation of these
initiatives, provided adaptive management
mechanisms are provided, will contribute to the
sustainable development of the regions.
5 Conclusions
The design of an innovative model of sustainable
development of the region in conditions of global
turbulence is proposed, which covers the main
principles, criteria, mechanisms, and tools for
implementing the goals of sustainable development
in the regions, which can be integrated into the
management systems of state and regional projects
at various levels. The model of sustainable
development of the region is focused on ensuring
the continued functioning of the regional system
based on self-organization processes based on the
gradual improvement of potential technologies and
management mechanisms, taking into account
existing achievements and shortcomings through
the establishment of horizontal and vertical
communications and the development of adaptive
qualities of its components.
To increase the adaptability of the model of
sustainable development in conditions of global
turbulence, the following measures are proposed:
digitization and integration of public administration
using Big DATA technologies; development of
criteria for anticipatory assessment of hazards and
preventive measures for their elimination; modeling
of situations and development of alternative plans
for the implementation of sustainable development
goals; stimulating the development of small
businesses as one of the most adaptable and mobile
market participants; human development.
