The research studies the scenarios modelling enabling to develop the techno-ecosystem (TES). It was designed based on the developed methodology allowing choosing the technological decisions to ensure the sustainable functioning of TES. The aim of the work is to develop scientific-methodological basics and approaches ensuring the balanced functioning of complex TES. The case study of the research is functioning processes of complex TES. A scientific based methodology allowing choosing the technology, which can be applied in a contemporary production as a part of TES, implies a comprehensive and holistic approach the environment. First of all, it refers to the activity of all giant enterprises having a negative impact on environment and consuming a huge amount of energy and raw material. Here the well-balanced TES is envisioned as a sustainable system. A broad set of mechanisms and their structural features shape the foundation for sustainability of TES and biosphere. The living matter as a principal factor ensures the techno-ecosystem sustainability. In the research the authors developed the rules enabling to analyze the conformity of the actual functioning parameters with the parameters allowing a sustainable development, which corresponds to best available technology. The proposed set of principles is considered as a basic to make management decisions regarding the ways on how to define the required parameters ensuring the balanced functioning of complicated TES. The choice of optimal TES structure is made taking into account the conditions which ensure the self-sustaining of natural components. It can be done based on best available technology utilizing. In order to achieve this the authors created a scheme of dynamic imitation model of mining region; proved tasks and methodology principles to monitor the natural TES components at the transition stage aiming the sustainable development; determined the priorities enabling monitoring if mining techno-ecosystem.

Keywords:

mining TES, balanced functioning, hierarchy of TES, best available technology.
