Abstract
In the modern conditions of global competition and a multidimensional pandemic crisis, the problem of achieving sustainable economic growth of economic systems is being actualized. Bioeconomy plays an important role in its solution, acting as the most important life support system based on biological resources. Bioeconomy is designed to create conditions for the sustainable renewal of biological resources and their transformation on the basis of the existing spatial environment through the involvement of institutional, innovative, industrial and other factors of socio-economic development.
The aim of the work is a sociological study of the forest bioeconomy of Belarus and the identification on this basis of factors of agent modeling of economic relations and, in general, system development under the influence of existing socio-cultural behavioral patterns.
The research method is a questionnaire survey of specialists from different sectors of the economy. In this regard, we have identified two groups of interviewed employees: the first group, which has knowledge and skills in the field of forest and forest engineering technologies; the second group, which provides training in the technologies of the chemical industry, the building materials industry, etc.
The result of the research is a sociological analysis of the existing institutional environment of forest bioeconomy. The article presents the rating results of the ranking of environmental problems solved, in particular, in the forest sectors. They are reduced to the pre-property realization of the water protection function by forests and to a more pronounced climatic orientation.
Rating assessments for the product positions of the forest sector have shown that the strategic goals of modern economic development are based on the priority of construction materials. However, rational solutions for innovative development and strategic management should accumulate the tasks of the future, including systems of creative eco-consumption.
