Russian Attitude to Sustainable Development Strategy: System Factors of Pro-ecological Behavior

The paper deals with topical aspects of the sustainable development strategy related to the relationship dynamics in hybrid socio-natural and technological environments. In this regard, the study of sustainable development factors goes beyond the natural and geographical sciences, as it requires an interdisciplinary integration of knowledge. The authors consider the systemic factors of sustainable development and analyze the evaluations for ecological situation in 2019–2021 in the Russian regions. The paper objectives are related to the identification of the conditions for the eco-consciousness formation among the people as a non-economic factor of Russian sustainable development. The study is based on an interdisciplinary system paradigm combined with actor-network theory in sociology. In the analysis of the ecological situation assessments in the regions, the authors used statistical data from the reports of the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM). The identification of pro-ecological behavior stereotypes in the conditions of a modern city was based on the survey data of student youth. On this base, authors emphasize the factors that cause ecological concern of Russian citizens and motivate their inclusion in environmental practices. The conclusion notes that Russian citizens are sufficiently informed about the state of the ecological situation in their region and many apply environmental practices in everyday life. But on the question the formation of ecological consciousness is considered the most effective fine and other measures of administrative control.
