4.4. Organizational Development Fundamentals
4.4.1. Administrative organization of the process in establishing the
Ecopolis
The implementation defined by the concept of objective requires the development of an appropriate management system.
For ensuring the compliance of the programs of social and economic development with the skills an effective environmental management model is necessary. With this objective anthropogenic the load is distributed over three centers: management (administrative), Technopolis – Techno Centre (economically) and scientifically (City of Science).
Management (administrative) Centre – an organizational and coordination center of the control of the complexes of Ecopolis. It is formed as part of the administrative structure of the holding by the existing management, which can provide the necessary measures for the implementation of the strategic development of the Ecopolis.
In addition, the center deals with the organization of the monitoring of the implementation of the concept on the scope and timing of the implementation deadlines, including with a view to the necessary adjustments to relevant development programs.
When evaluating the results of the implementation of the concept is expected that a certain stage in the development of the program has been achieved. The evaluation of the results of analyzes of the volumes and the decision on the need to develop and additional measures and adjustments are carried out on further action plans.
Establishment of the Ecopolis is not only an objective but a process in which the balanced assessment of the progress is very important.
Technopolis (production center) – a network of companies that make up an entire transport, information and communication system. Its main function consists of gradual, targeted development of industrial areas and adjacent territories in cultural, scientific, commercial and financial objectives as centers of the knowledge economy for balanced and resource-saving technologies.
Science Centre (Science City) – is the center of the scientific support of the Ecopolis. Its main function is to simulate all kinds of activities related to the development of innovative projects, programs, technologies.
All three centers are interconnected and focused on the implementation of the concept of Ecopolis.
4.4.2. Development and activation of mechanisms for the implementation of the realization of the concept
For the implementation of the development policy of a sphere, it is necessary to use a variety of mechanisms: administrative, regulatory, financial, economic and social mechanisms.
Due to the fact that local governments have the possibility of effective use of mechanisms for the implementation of the realization of the concept, the administrative resources should be specifically mentioned. For the purposes of the functional configuration of the local self-government in accordance with the terms of tasks, it is possible the education and training of leaders, the formation of an effective process of implementation and coordination in the implementation of the concept perform. With the administrative apparatus, the development of the rules of the local self-administration of educational diversity and their interaction with external actors in the region and the local community as a whole, the adjacent territorial bodies of state power, and the neighborhood communities connected. Regulatory mechanism in relation to the possibilities of further development of the area includes the development of various financial goals, economic, legal and social norms and regulations in the field as a whole and at the level of the different areas of life.
The use of financial mechanisms involves the concentration of domestic, resources and the attraction of external financial flows for the implementation of the chosen strategy. On inner level, this means the creation of the system of financing of projects and thus the development of a variety of funding sources.
The use of social mechanisms increases the activity of the population on issues of local importance. The commonality of interests of different social groups and strata of the population and the formation of priorities for further development allows a local community that is united with the understanding of the unity of purpose and goals, to set up.
One of the key mechanisms for the implementation of this task is to increase the openness of local governments, creating open discussions about current and future plans, carry out analysis of the social situation and timely decisions. According to the results of public discussion of the results of basic ideas, principles and provisions of the concept, the strategic development program for the medium term is developed.
Thus, the management of the process of the establishment of the Ecopolis is based on democratic decision-making, on the one hand, to strengthen the role of citizens and non-governmental organizations in the preparation of decisions taking into account environmental factors. On the other hand, democratic solutions as they are accepted by the majority require a very long period of preparation. Opinion, the majority of the residents of the community to change their consumer on the ecological and rational manner is a very long and complex process. The current democratic majority decides on the basis of their interests, often without guidance on the protection of nature and the creation of favorable conditions for the future, for generations to come. Therefore, the complexity of the democratic decision-making, as appropriate, proactive solution is to assume that optimizes the current or future performance of the Company and its interaction with nature. This problem can only be solved by a qualitative change of democracy under the influence of the objective and principles of the concept of „Ecopolis“. It is based on the environmental ethics that excludes the rules of a return to archaic totalitarian regimes, even under the „green flag“.
All mechanisms can be effective in the realization of the following conditions are met:
¨ A new philosophy of life
¨ Proper rulemaking
¨ Verified decisions of local governments
¨ Financing
¨ Systematic nature of the activities to implement the concept
¨ Public
¨ Law-abiding behavior
¨ Daily meticulous work.
Preliminary assessment of the necessary financing of the international program „Ecopolis“ – more than € 100 (one hundred) trillion Euros.
