The most important tendency of modern development is the process of post-industrial transformation of the economy, which influences the tourist and hotel and restaurant industry is intended to compensate partly the relative monotony of labour activity, which is connected with its limited specialization and subordination to the social division of labour. But at the same time, the historical character of the social division of labour, which appears on the current level of the process of the society post-industrial transformation, is not fully taken into account. \u0000Aim and tasks. The aim of the article is to analyze the features of the tourist and hotel and restaurant industry in the extensive historical context of the post-industrial transformation of modern society. \u0000Results. The methodology of such analysis proceeds from the fact that this transformation process is accompanied by the transformation of the content of economic activity in the direction of reducing the heavy routine labour and expanding the scope of free interpersonal communication. In such conditions, there is a necessity for a more consistent marketing distinction between the hotel and restaurant facilities depending on the specific needs of different groups of potential clients. It should be fully taken into account that the traditional style, corresponding to the mass perception of both domestic holidaymakers and tourists, and domestic business class, may be less creative from the point of view of holidaymakers from developed countries, whose tastes and benefits have emerged in a post-industrial society. The main principles of the influence of the level of economic development on the style and design of hotels and restaurants have been revealed and that is characterized by tendencies of negation of artificial values in favour of the values of \"naturalness\", which symbolize the free interpersonal subject-subjective communication, which is considered to be immanent not to labour, but to creativity which is free from economic necessity. \u0000Conclusions. Thus, the general conclusion is that these differences in styles reflect not only socio-cultural traditions, but also different levels of historical development of developed countries and post-Soviet society, which largely determines the significant cost of hotel and restaurant services in the postmodern era. Therefore, investments in the development of tourist and hotel and restaurant industry in Ukraine should take into account the requirements which are connected with the peculiarities of postmodernism in so far as they are oriented towards the world market of services. Developed countries entered the postmodern period on the way of postmodern and post-industrial transformation, but Ukraine has only come to the solution of the problem of real modernization, which is rather characterized by a state of premodern than postmodern, and such objective differences of the levels of historical development should be taken into ac","PeriodicalId":29705,"journal":{"name":"Economics Ecology Socium","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78331111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overall situation in the field of waste management in Ukraine is extremely difficult, which is explained by the lack of preventive resource conservation and environmental protection policies, as well as the lack of financing of measures aimed at eliminating the negative consequences resulting from the increasing generation of waste. In particular, due to insufficient financing of landfill contents: there are violations of the schedules of their sanitary cleaning, which leads to the formation of spontaneous landfills in the territories of residential development, especially in rural areas; there are cases of chaotic accumulation of waste that is not compacted and not filled with soil; most landfills and the surrounding area have a terrible look. The general state of waste in Ukraine highlights the urgency and seriousness of the problem of domestic and industrial waste management. \u0000Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the role and disclosure of the peculiarities of the transport and logistics component of waste management strategies in the context of implementing resource-saving and environmental policy in Ukraine. \u0000Results. As a result of the research it is determined that the reform of the waste management system is necessary, which envisages solving of such key organizational, economic and managerial tasks in the context of realization of resource saving and environmental protection policy in Ukraine. The organizational and economic directions of waste management reform are: effective implementation of separate waste collection; construction of new landfills and waste treatment plants; information and institutional support for issues related to waste management; economically justified tariff formation ; stabilization of the finance industry through the introduction of a system of fines for violating legislation, in particular, on the separate collection of waste and the transfer of funds received to the development of the industry, investments provided by state guarantees on the return of capital invested by the investor. \u0000Conclusions. At present the reform of the waste management system is necessary by means of solving a series of interrelated organizational, economic and managerial tasks in the context of implementation of resource conservation and environmental protection policy in Ukraine. In particular, it is about the need for financial stabilization of the industry, the expediency of strengthening regulatory instruments and, at the same time, motivational instruments, etc. Based on the analysis of the relationship between these objectives and the objectives of environmental policy, in particular in the field of transport and logistics, as well as the content and constituents of waste management strategies in Ukraine, it was concluded that there is a need for an integrated approach to determine the role and place of transport-logistic component.","PeriodicalId":29705,"journal":{"name":"Economics Ecology Socium","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82600891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of the national economy under the modern conditions is increasingly determined by the potential both of the commercial sector and also of the social sector development level since a number of economic policy tasks concern this sector. Issues of economic and social inequality are increasingly being explored in terms of their impact on economic growth in a long run. The complexity of implementing state regulation of the social sector to ensure inclusive growth raises a number of problems, because policies need to be coherent and institutional arrangements are effectively implemented. \u0000Aim and tasks. The purpose of the study is to substantiate a conceptual approach to institutional transformations regulating of the social sector of the national economy, based on the principles of inclusive economic growth. \u0000Results. According to the institutional changes theory, the formation of a coherent strategy regarding the state regulation of institutional changes in the social sector of the national economy requires consideration of the dependence on the previous way of development. So, the structure that is being formed requires both vertical (with basic institutions) and horizontal (with institutions formed within the social sector) coordination. Development of two mentioned types of interactions should be aligned with the strategy of state regulation of the social sector of the national economy - market-coherent and socially-coherent and gives the opportunity to achieve both social and economic (commercial) results, to balance the measures aimed at these interactions. \u0000Conclusions. Within the framework of the problem of creation of an effective system of state regulation solution for ensuring inclusive growth within the proposed approach, the necessity of stakeholder interaction development, creation of an institutional and economic environment for the development of market-coherent and socially-coherent interactions considering achievement of economic growth with simultaneous achievement of social goals is ensured. Strategic direction of state regulation of institutional changes in the social sector of the national economy can be considered a gradual shift from the institutions of income redistribution to participation institutions (education, infrastructure, etc.).

The level of economic security of enterprises is characterized by many indicators. The assessment of the state of economic security of enterprises is carried out through a system of criteria and indicators. The criterion of enterprises economic security is a measure of the state of the entity in terms of compliance with the established indicators of its activity with pre-established indicators reflecting the essence of economic security. Therefore, the problem of analyzing indicators of enterprises economic security and developing measures to improve their economic component in the context of the socio-humanitarian component. \u0000Aim and tasks. Justification of the need to develop measures to improve the assessment of economic security of enterprises based on the impact of indicators in the context of the socio-humanitarian component. On the basis of this goal, the question arises of solving such problems as: the possibility of developing a unified conceptual approach and tools for assessing the impact of indicators on the organization's economic security; developing measures to improve the economic component of enterprises in the context of the socio-humanitarian component. \u0000Results. For the analysis of the economic security state, indicators were chosen that characterize economic security in different spheres of enterprise activity according to the recommendations. For each indicator a matrix of values with the enterprises and indicators of values by years was formed. The analysis uses a multidimensional logit model, a case of binary selection. The model does not take into account group effects, that is, there is no analysis of fixed effects. In order to avoid cross-effects, when not only the variable itself influences the likelihood of a crisis, but the public crisis begins to affect the behavior of the variable, two groups of models are built: for the first group of regressions from the sample, all observations after the first year of crises are excluded; for the second group of regressions all data were used except for the crisis years after the first year of the crisis. \u0000Conclusions.

Bitcoin is a digital, decentralized, partially anonymous currency, not supported by any government or legal entity and not provided with gold or other goods.

The implementation of the European Union regulations into Polish law resulted in the establishment of such methods of dealing with waste in order to comply with the requirements of environmental protection and waste management plans. Each time the construction of another plant is a social and economic problem, therefore, the enhancement of the form and shape of such a system requires justification. The basic task of municipal waste management is to create technical conditions for the collection, transport, recovery, recycling and disposal of waste. The technical correctness of the system and the scope of the adverse impact resulting in lowering ecological, aesthetic and cultural values will decide about its capital expenditure and operating costs. The large number of imposed, overlapping, and often conflicting goals means that finding a favourable solution and decisively accepting it is a very difficult task, often requiring a compromise. The solution will be based on searching for the shape of a waste management system that, under existing restrictions, will ensure the best possible implementation of specific objectives under the specific conditions of the region. \u0000Aim and tasks.
