Abstract
The current complex crisis situation in the world presents the scientific community with the task of developing theoretical and methodological provisions and models that are adequate to describe natural systems, while being sufficiently applicable to assess socio-economic processes. The article attempts to analysis of factors of the environmental component of the quality of life of the population. For more than a hundred years, physical laws and analogies have been used to analyze social and economic systems. An attempt to use the laws of nature in the preparation of solutions for the management of social and economic systems is made by the environmental economy. An analysis of the history of the formation and development of the ecological economy was carried out, as a result of which its new direction was revealed, based on a natural science approach and a systemic energy analysis of socio-economic systems. Consideration of the factors of quality of life is carried out from the point of view of the principle of steady non-equilibrium of E.S. Bauer and the natural science foundations of labor, set forth in the works of S.A. Podolinsky. The main hypothesis of the study, the theoretical and methodological foundations of the natural science approach and systemic energy analysis of socio-economic systems related to the study of the relationship between society and the natural environment, with the laws of the functioning of living systems (works of E.S. Bauer, V.I. Vernadsky, A.L. Chizhevsky, etc.). A system of parameters is proposed that allows solving important applied tasks of modeling the environmental component of quality of life in terms of natural science meters without using monetary measures. The selected parameters were modelled on the example of the federal districts of the Russian Federation with the analysis of the identified features and results. The results confirmed the possibility of applying the principles-criteria proposed in the work for the analysis of the development of socio-economic systems in interaction with the environment
Keywords:
quality of life of the population, factors affecting the quality of life of the population, environmental components, environmental economy, systemic energy analysis of socioeconomic systems, natural science approach, modelling of quality of life factors, design and management of development
