ENThe monograph is a summary of authors' scientific and research work spanning the last 6 years. During the period the authors directed their scientific research towards the sustainable development evaluation and industrial zone development problems and especially by going deeper into the four relatively separate aspects of sustainability evaluation: economic, ecological, social and institutional, and analysing the peculiarities of industrial zone development in regions from the aspect of sustainability. A special attention was paid to the concept of sustainable development and evaluation of sustainable development process by applying it to a phenomenon of industrial zones. An integration of economic regularities and principles known, specified, enlarged in theoretical research areas enabled to define the meaning and role of such theoretical studies for analysing of practical problems of industrial zone development. Studies carried out at foreign universities confirmed a hypothesis that further extensive studies are necessary in order to understand the essence and evaluation of the concept of sustainable development. Therefore the further study was carried out having a more general problem, i.e. the discovery of possibilities of sustainable development evaluation.In order to discover the potential of theories of the sustainable development concept an analysis of the potential of possible creation of industrial zones in particular Šiauliai county municipalities was carried out. An innovative stimulation and management of development of Šiauliai county economy are very important factors enabling to maximize and efficiently use the potential of Šiauliai county in order to achieve an optimal identitive competitive position of the county. Therefore the stimulation of creation of industrial zones in particular territories of seven Šiauliai county municipalities can be identified as one of the most important factors contributing to the growth of the county's competitiveness. A decentralised complex of industrial zones in Šiauliai county municipalities would contribute to the sustainable and even socio-economic development of the county. In the monograph the authors make an attempt to relate the paradigm of sustainable development with a topic and regularities of industrial zone creation by studying the concept of sustainable development and its evaluation possibilities. The basic idea behind the scientific problem studied in the monograph can be described as follows: what are the regularities of the concept of sustainable development and its evaluation and what are the essential properties of industrial zone creation in regions enabling to study their creation variants by making a comparison between them in respect ofsustainability.Therefore in order to study the raised scientific problems the authors at first provided a systematic analysis of the concept of sustainable development, then proceeded with a discussion on treatments of sustainable development dimensions and models for sustainable development evaluation and their application for the analysis of the industrial zone potential. The methodology of identification and making effective of coordinates of sustainable industrial zones allows to evaluate the possibilities of sustainable industrial zone creation in municipal territories. The monograph's research subject is the concept and evaluation of sustainable development and possibilities of sustainable industrial zone creation in territories of Šiauliai county municipalities.
