SOCIO-CULTURAL COMPONENT AS A DOMINANT FACTOR OF MODERN SOCIETY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (UKRAINIAN CONTEXT)

Abstract

Nowadays informational, technological, s ocial and culturalinnovations  determine civilization priorities and significantly impact on individual goals and values of society and humanity in general. Economic instability, social conflicts, ideological and religious intolerance, hybrid war, aggression and other negative disharmonious social phenomena lead to a number of global instability and make us think about the future of our country and humanity as a whole, responsible approach to the analysis of the current situation and the choice of references that ensure harmonious, well-established and safe existence of people in society. In view of this special relevance in modern science and philosophy there has become the problem of sustainable development, which is directly linked to the search for and substantiation of constructive strategy for further development of our industrial society and overcoming the socio-economic, socio-political, socio-environmental anomalies that it initiated and gave birth at earlier stages of development. Sustainable development as a form of social and natural co-evolution is understood as a process of civilization survival, which goes to the stable social and economic development that does not violate its natural framework and ensures continuous progress of society. From this perspective, any transformations in the international community, in the state, in every region, in every industry sector and type of social activity should be determined not only in the past and in the present but also in the future, not natural and spontaneous, but reasonably controlled development. Taking this into account, it is necessary to create a civilization model information type, state, region, society, individuals, etc., which would meet the "right" future, ensuring the survival of humanity and preservation of the environment. Analysis of recent research and publications in which the problem of sustainable development is studied shows the relevance and significance of the problem, which was carefully examined by foreign and domestic scientists. Research of the sustainable development concept is maintained by J. Courtenay, Dennis and Donella Meadows, A. Ursula, J. Randers and A. Zelenkov. тIdeas, principles, strategies and mechanisms  of the concept of sustainability implementation are more deeply studied by Ukrainian scientists O. Bilous, E. Semenyuk and Y. Tunytsya. Research of sustainable development in Ukraine is dedicated to the research work of scientists such as B. Danylyshyn, S. Doroguntsov and M. Palamarchuk. Current trends, strategic framework and perspective directions of sustainable development in Ukraine are defined in "National paradigm of sustainable development of Ukraine" (gen. B.E. Paton) and in the new strategy for sustainable development "Ukraine -  2020" approved by the decree of the President of Ukraine in 2015. Most studies of sustainable development, made at the internals, allocate three mutually mediated imperatives of sustainability: economic, environmental and social. While acknowledging the obvious relevance of environmental and economic issues in the context of globalization, sustainable development model in modern Ukrainian sociodynamics makes them derived from the socio-cultural component. Thus, the purpose and objectives of the article are to explore the socio-cultural component of sustainable development in the modern Ukrainian society as the social dimension of sustainability aimed at people and at preserving the stability of the social and cultural system within society and beyond.
