World statistics of natural sources is presented in Fig. 1 [The Emissions Gap report 2017]. 2. CONCEPT AND CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCY ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATIONS Currently, the concept of an “environmental emergency” is not defined by any approved official documents of the Russian Federation. A number of authors propose the following verbal definition: environmental emergency - deviation from the natural or normal state of the environment, which occurred as a result of a natural disaster or human economic activity and led to negative consequences of an economic, environmental and social nature. representing a threat to life and health of people, objects of the national economy and elements of the environment in a limited area. As follows from this definition, an emergency ecological situation is considered not only as a result of extreme co-existence, as a natural disaster, but also as a possible result of anthropogenic activity. Note the characteristic features of environmental emergencies: Note signs of environmental emergencies: – danger to life and health of a significant number of people; – a significant violation of the ecological balance; Fig. 1. World statistics of natural sources of environmental emergencies. The following main types of such situations can be distinguished from the variety of anthropogenic environmental emergencies due to their occurrence (Fig. 2): – chemical accidents; – fires and explosions; – radiation accidents; – transport accidents and accidents on pipelines. World statistics of man-made sources is presented in Fig. 2 [https://yandex.ru]. – failure of life support systems; – significant material and environmental damage; – the need to attract forces and means of emergency response; – psychological discomfort for large groups of people. The most serious environmental emergencies are called environmental disaster (environmental catastrophe). They are characterized by extraordinary events of especially large scale, caused by changes in the state of the land, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, negatively affecting people's health, their spiritual sphere, living environment, economy and gene pool. Fig. 2. World statistics of technological environmental emergencies. The environmental emergency zone is a part of the territory officially declared by the state (city, region, region), which clearly shows signs of the destruction of ecological systems of nature, global environmental pollution, depletion of water, land, plant and animal resources, where there is a sharp an increase in morbidity and mortality, many times exceeding the average for the region indicators. The zone of ecological disaster – the relevant parts of the territory officially declared by the state (city, region, territory, region), where signs were marked: complete destruction of ecological systems of nature, global pollution of atmospheric air, water bodies, soils, complete depletion of aquatic, plant, animal resources, high morbidity and mortality rates. Fig. 3. Consequences of man-made activities. D.A. Kononov / IFAC PapersOnLine 52-25 (2019) 35–39 37 The consequences of the occurrence of technological activity are presented in Fig. 3. Currently developed and using a number of formalized methods for studying environmental emergencies, which can be grouped into the following groups: Statistics of man-made environmental emergencies are presented in Fig. 4 [https://yandex.ru]. 1. ecology methods – methods of studying environmental factors: physical, chemical, biological; – methods for studying the effects of environmental factors on the organism and ecosystems; 2. observation methods – methods for recording monitoring and evaluating environmental parameters; – methods of quantitative accounting of organisms, biomass and productivity; – methods of monitoring and bioindication; Fig. 4. Consequences of technological activity. 3. experimental methods – laboratory; To analyze the degree of danger of the environmental situation in the regions of the Russian Federation, an “ecological index of the region” is calculated (Fig. 5) [https://yandex.ru]. – full-scale; 4. simulation methods – material models; – ideal (verbal, mathematical, graphic, imitation). To build adequate models for studying environmental emergencies, it is necessary to build a hierarchy of formalized concepts. The study identified the following concepts. Fig. 5. The ecological level of the regions of Russia. The proposed characteristics of assessing environmental situations in the regions are used to predict them and determine the necessary measures to improve the macroeconomic and environmental indicators of the region. 3. RESEARCH METHODS OF EMERGENCY ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATIONS Following [Keeler E. (1972)], under the pollution in modeling it is usually understood the stock or flow of substances that reduce the ability of a person to non-productive consumption of goods. Such a definition of pollution in a general sense includes a very wide range of phenomena from water and air pollution to soil exhaustion if it is excessively used, but it does not rely on the concept of “safety of operation and development”. Challenge is a collection of circumstances, not necessarily specifically threatening, but requiring response to them. A challenge represents phenomena and processes that currently do not call into question security, but if a number of specific measures are not taken, security will be difficult to achieve or even impossible in the future. In essence, the challenge is determined by the existence of indirect negative factors, which in their development can lead to undesirable conditions. conflict situation, substantially change and create a direct threat. The call characteristic is the expected time of the hazard. Danger is a well-understood, but not fatal, possibility of an undesirable situation or situation, determined by the presence of objective and subjective factors with damaging properties. It represents an objectively existing possibility of negative impact, as a result of which the state of the object may deteriorate. Danger is a property of Nature. Hazard characteristics - the likelihood of an adverse event occurring, damage. Safety is the expected absence of danger. Risk is a system parameter, a property of the control system (decision-making), in particular, the decision maker. The property lies in the fact that such management decisions can be made that may entail the possibility of the occurrence of undesirable phenomena as a result of the decision made, i.e. D.A. Kononov / IFAC PapersOnLine 52-25 (2019) 35–39 38 risk of man-made hazard. Risk characteristics – the likelihood of adverse events, the damage, the degree of risk. Threat is a factor (phenomenon), the realization of which can lead to the possibility of the realization of undesirable phenomena (situations). When examining a system object under threat, we will understand the totality of factors of the system and the external environment, which, from the point of view of decision-makers, can lead to a significant deterioration of its parameters. 4. MANAGEMENT OF EMERGENCY ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATIONS The implementation of the environmental emergency management process requires the definition of – environmental safety targets; – criteria for safe operation and development of a managed object: they usually consist of predetermined critical values of target indicators, or undesirable tendencies of their development; – models, methods and control mechanisms; – criteria for evaluating management efficiency. When the specified components of the management model are identified, development monitoring is carried out - regular assessment of target indicators and comparison of their values with acceptable ones. In the course of monitoring, they track the development trends and predict crisis phenomena. A crisis phenomenon is a situation in which at least one value of the target indicator falls below a critical value or a tendency of undesirable development is observed. The management of safe development is carried out by acting on the controlled components. Of these, select those for which the impact will be most effective for solving the set formal problem. Determine the necessary (the principle of the minimum necessary impact) and sufficient changes to the components to exit the system from the crisis (the principle of sufficiency). The results are checked on a graph model (cognitive map of the ecological situation). Out of the possible choices, impacts that, as far as possible, approximate the tendency of changes in its indicators to their development targets. Such an approach allows not only to bring the system out of the crisis, but also to prevent its occurrence, to control development, correcting the scenario of changing parameters in order to effectively achieve the target result. 2) high alert – characterized by the availability of information about the signs of a potential threat of an environmental emergency. 3) emergency – characterized by circumstances, the combination of which in accordance with existing regulations is defined as an emergency. 4) elimination of the consequences of an environmental emergency – characterized by the absence of active damaging factors of the environmental emergency. For the formation of goal-setting and selection of strategies for managing environmental emergencies, it is necessary to classify the environmental situation in terms of safety. A crisis situation is a situation in which, without proper management, going beyond the security limits follows, with several methods of control that can keep the system functioning within security can be found by methods of seeking reverse control. The critical situation is the situation, i.e. configuration of values of essential parameters of the system, in which, without proper control, the overstepping of safety limits follows, with the methods of seeking reverse control, the only control option that preserves the functioning of the system within safety limits can be found. An intermediate situation is an uncontrollable situation this is a situation where, when an overflow is detected, it is impossible to find management solutions to avoid an emergency. An emergency situation is an unfavorable combination of factors and circumstances that violate the conditions of their normal life activity, which impede production, business, household and other activities. An emergency situation is characterized by the release of target parameters beyond the permissibility limit. On the basis of these definitions, one can verbally and formally formulate the tasks of environmental emergency management, including: – classification of states; – optimal monitoring; – determine the possibility of deterioration of the state of objects; – determine the possibility of managing states. In the process of research, the main modes of environmental emergency management are highlighted: The main task of management in accordance with this classification of the states of a given set of potentially dangerous system elements at given time points is to determine the possibility of controlled transitions from the current state to the more desirable one. 1) daily activities – characterized by the lack of information on clear signs of the threat of an emergency environmental situation. 5. STUDY OF THE ECOLOGICAL SITUATION OF THE KUZBASS REGION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION As an application of the proposed research methodology, models of environmental management in the Kuzbass coal D.A. Kononov / IFAC PapersOnLine 52-25 (2019) 35–39 basin of the Russian Federation are considered. In Fig. 6 shows a cognitive map of the ecological situation in the region. The region has a mechanism to strictly limit the cumulative release of harmful substances into the environment by all industrial enterprises, mainly coal waste. This means that each enterprise acquires a quota for pollution on the market, within which it carries out emission of harmful substances associated with production. If the company for any reason goes beyond the quota allocated to it, it loses its license for production activities. The quota allocation mechanism is a market one, i.e. quotas can be objects of sale, and for their possession a competitive struggle can unfold. We note that the level that limits aggregate emissions is not determined by the quota demand in the market, but is set by the regional administration, for example, by the municipality. 39 increasing in amplitude fluctuations in the population size increase pollution due to household and industrial pollution. For the constructed model, the sufficient conditions for impulse stability were not fulfilled; therefore, an effective control mechanism was not found. As part of this study, a new method of finding effective management was applied, based on the study of basic scenarios, to solve the inverse problem of management. This made it possible to determine the optimal structure of the cognitive map of the socio-ecological situation in the region and to develop effective economic, legal, environmental and social mechanisms for coordinating regional development goals. The proposed method is based on the study of the Jordan form of the adjacency matrix of the cognitive graph of the Kuzbass region. 7. CONCLUSION The proposed methods of formalizing basic concepts allow building emergency management models in order to solve basic management tasks with specified types of constraints, including coordinating private and general social goals. The presented results allow us to hope that the proposed new models and research methods can be useful and used as mathematical and methodological support in automated systems for managing emergency environmental situations. REFERENCES Fig. 6. Cognitive map of the Kuzbass region. In the course of this study, the tasks of environmental management are considered on the basis of building and analyzing a cognitive map of the socio-ecological situation of the Kuzbass region. To set a management task, it is necessary to specify the control variables of the tasks, target indicators and criteria for effective management: – control variables (controls): the number of enterprises, the level of competition, the maximum level of emission of harmful substances; cognitive map structure. – target indicators: the quality of life of the population and the likelihood of an environmental emergency. The task is to find managements that ensure the quality of life does not decrease and the likelihood of an environmental emergency to occur is reduced. In this formulation, the direct control problem was considered in [Kononov D.A. (2008)]. At the same time, the typical scenario of the development of the ecological situation in the region is unfavorable. Fluctuations in the number of enterprises leads to fluctuations in the level of employment of the population, which “shakes” the migration processes: Gleick P.H. (1991). Gleick P.H.
