COWI Consortium in co-operation with the Ministry of the Economic Development of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Natural Resources of the RF and Oblast Administrations is implementing the TACIS project “Support for the implementation of Environmental Policies and NEAPs in the NIS”. Within the framework of the Russian component of the project, it has been agreed with the Government of Rostov Oblast that a Financing Strategy (FS) for the Water Supply and Sanitation Services (WSSS) sector of the municipal economy of Rostov oblast will be developed. In addition, the project team will support Rostov Oblast in developing a EFS on municipal solid waste. A special Project Advisory Committee was formed in order to define the targets used in the scenarios for strategy development. During the development of the Financing Strategy a methodology was used that allowed developing a long-term (5-20 years) financing strategy for the running and capital costs of the sector, including a programme for priority capital investments. The programme should be realistic and take into account the necessary and available financing sources. A computerised model FEASIBLE was used when preparing the FS allowing quantitative estimates of operation and maintenance costs as well as for the capital costs, required for normal operations within the sector. Two scenarios are developed: 1) the Baseline scenario (no-change) and 2) the Development scenario, which includes policy packages for sector development. Analysis of the scenarios point in the direction, which set of policy measures leads to attracting additional funds in order to close or decrease the financing deficit. Existing Situation The sector of water supply and sanitation services in Russia has been suffering from insufficient financing for a long time. As a result the quality of the service is decreasing and this process will continue if the situation with financing will not improve. The main problems are the following. ⇒ Water losses are 20% or higher, often caused by frequent breakdowns in the distribution networks. The general technical condition of the networks is poor. A big part varying between 40 and 60% needs (urgent) replacement. ⇒ Deteriorating drinking water quality. The existing state of potable water supply for the population of Rostov Oblast does not comply with federal sanitary and epidemiological norms due to overloading and absence of modern methods of water preparation and disinfection at the treatment facilities of the water mains. ⇒ The unsatisfactory sanitary and technical condition of the water distribution and sewage networks

    European Research Studies Journal Volume XXI, Special Issue 1, 2018 pp. 136 - 147 The Role of Greek Culture Representation in Socio-Economic Development of the Southern Regions of Russia T.V. Evsyukova1, I.G. Barabanova2, O.V. Glukhova3, E.A. Cherednikova4 Abstract: This article researches how the Greek lingvoculture represented in onomasticon of the South of Russia. The South Russian anthroponyms, toponyms and pragmatonyms are considered in this article and how they verbalize the most important values and ideological views. It is proved in the article that the key concepts of the Greek lingvoculture such as: “Peace”, “Faith”, “Love”, “Heroism”, “Knowledge”, “Alphabet”, “Power”, “Charismatic person” and “Craft” are highly concentrated in the onomastic lexis of the researched region. The mentioned above concepts due to their specific pragmatic orientation are represented at different extend. Keywords: Culture, linguoculture, onomastics, concept anthroponym, toponym, pragmatonim. 1D.Sc. in Linguistics, Professor, Department of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication, Rostov State University of Economics, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation. 2Ph.D. in Linguistics, Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication, Rostov State University of Economics, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation. 3Lecturer, Department of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication, Rostov State University of Economics, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation, E-mail: [email protected] 4Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication, Rostov State University of Economics, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation.

The article is concerned with basic concepts related to development of an ecological-excursion cluster in the Rostov region. The socio-economic conditions of its formation are described. The research base on which the research related to the study of touristic clusters is found is reviewed. It also gives grounds for the possibility of functioning of the ecological and recreational cluster, defines its functions and importance for the development of inbound and domestic tourism, the economy and the social sphere of the region. The zoning of the territory of the Rostov region according to the prevailing types of ecological and recreational clusters is proposed and the specifics of their activities and the development of types of tourism are indicated. 1 Introduction An effective tool for development of socio-economic systems in the sphere of tourism is implementation of a cluster approach that provides harmonization of private and public interests, diversification of risks and improvement of regional potential use. The clustering process is coherent giving a number of management decisions related to the specifics of the industry, participants, location, capacity, and a number of other indicators. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an algorithm to cluster the regional territory and manage development of economic zones on the basis of a systematic approach and with consideration of all factors, which have an effect on this process.
