Logical structure of activity is considered as a principal element of the methodology, which includes subject, object, forms, methods and technologies enabling to solve the problems, and results of activity. Therefore, the most important starting stage is formalization of sustainable development of techno-ecosystem. Objective of the study was to establish scientific basis and approaches for achieving balanced functioning of the complex techno-ecosystems. Object of this research were processes of the techno-ecosystem operation.
Within the frame of the research, the authors: a) analyzed and established principal factors, which ensured processes of the environment self-regulation; b) defined parameters of natural component potential for self-purification; c) bearing in mind the bioecological approaches, investigated the feature of how biotic components were affected by man-made factors during formation of the complex techno-ecosystem; d) explained the importance of bio-variety within the functional hierarchy of natural ecosystem and formation of mechanisms of environment self-regulation; e) defined the objects and goals for controlling the “techno-sphere & environment ecosystem” system, and summarized main principles enabling to make the required management decisions; f) with taking into account the nature protection principle, confirmed a concept of optimizing of the complex techno-ecosystem, application of which can serve as a promising tool for choosing technological decisions and providing their sustainable operation.
Methods are determined for optimization of man-made component in the techno-ecosystem, in which indicators of man-made component functioning in conditions of the Best Available Technology (BAT) are considered as criterion of the techno-ecosystem evaluation. Transformation of existing techno-ecosystem into techno-ecosystem with the BAT is performed by one or several scenarios. The scenario design should be in line with the future development plans - it is a common principle, which should be taken into account.
Within the framework of the current investigation, the author developed a methodology enabling to choose technological decisions allowing sustainable operating of techno-ecosystem.
Keywords: mining techno-ecosystem, balanced functioning, hierarchy of techno-ecosystem components, best available technology.
