Abstract:
It is well known that the technogenic civilization entered a new stage when the humanistic orientation and the "precautionary principle" affect in to define the research strategy and assess the environmental effects the use of scientific and technical achievements. A vital necessity and an essential prerequisite for the development of post-non-classic science is the inclusion of moral value factors of science, a high level of ethical culture of the researcher. A scientist must be aware of their responsibility for the destiny of mankind, for the quality of the natural environment.
Environmental policy is one of the strategic objectives and an important indicator of development in the Russian Federation. In a situation where the dominant development strategies of Russia are the socio-economic transformation and innovation in all areas of production, of particular significance are the issues of environmental safety and protection of the environment, processes of forming mechanisms for environmentally oriented management. These transformations are forced to join the efforts of science, real production and civil society in the process of developing a system for monitoring and management of environmental processes, tools for improving the effectiveness of environmental management and the formation of ecological culture.
This problem is particularly acute in the Urals. The industrial region introduces social practices and ecologically oriented management mechanisms. As a form of social audit of environmental impacts of scientific and production activity, the social and humanitarian expertise is a tool to generate arguments for adoption, monitoring implementation and adjustment of management decisions in the environmental sphere, in accordance with the priorities of environmental policy, environmental partnership requirements.
