Awareness of current and potential conflict of interest between economic growth and environmental preservation has resulted in the concept of sustainable development. Sustainable development is a multidimensional concept that encompasses economic, social, ecological, technological and ethical perspective. From such a definition, it can be concluded that the objectives of sustainable development are characterized by a high degree of conflicting. Furthermore, the terms "development" and "sustainability" in themselves are contradictory terms. In this sense, multi-criteria optimization is the appropriate approach in solving the conflicts in sustainability on both micro and macro level. The aim of this paper is to define some important economic and environmental criteria relevant to the problems of multi-objective programming, as well as their major conflicts.
Key Words: multi-objective programming, economic criteria, ecological criteria, environmental protection
EKONOMSKI I EKOLOŠKI KRITERIJUMI U PROBLEMIMA VIŠECILJNOG PROGRAMIRANJA
Svest o aktuelnom i potencijalnom konfliktu interesa između ekonomskog rasta i očuvanja životne sredine rezultirala je konceptom održivog razvoja. Održivi razvoj predstavlja multidimenzionalni koncept koji obuhvata ekonomske, sociološke, ekološke, tehnološke i etičke perspektive. Iz ovakve definicije se može zaključiti da ciljeve održivog razvoja karakteriše visok stepen konfliktnosti. Štaviše, termini "razvoj" i "održivost" sami po sebi predstavljaju kontradiktorne pojmove. U tom smislu, višekriterijumska optimizacija predstavlja adekvatan pristup u rešavanju konflikata održivosti kako na mikro, tako i na makro nivou. Cilj ovog rada je da definiše neke značajne ekonomske i ekološke kriterijume relevantne za probleme višeciljnog programiranja, ali i da istakne njihove konflikte.
