Abstract: The modern phase of development is characterized by a significant anthropogenic impact on the ecological and economic system. The extent of this process suggest the need to develop a new way of management based on the principles of resource saving and balanced environmental-economic functioning of the economy. Neglecting environmental factors would have an adverse effect on the opportunity of human development, on the prospect of the full satisfaction of social need in quality historical predeterminancy. Human potential is an existing resource of a particular society, giving him the opportunity to not only save itself but also to develop as a subject of modern human civilization. The study analyzes the dynamics of the human development index with a particular attention paid to the place of Russia in this rating. It was found that the indicator growth rate does not allow us to speak about substantial improvement in the quality of life, standards of living and improved human development. At the same time, there is a situation when the period of sharp decline in the human development index coincides with a period of increased anthropogenic impact and vice versa. All this reflects the existence of a bilateral relationship, “the quality of life and standard of living the anthropogenic impact on the social and natural environment” when growth of economic activity leads to the appearance of the factors adversely affecting the quality of life and standards of living. The linkage between life quality/sstandards of living and the anthropogenic impact on the social and natural environment is evaluated in terms of the existence of correlation between the change in the indicators characterizing the life quality and standards of living and indicators of anthropogenic impact on the social and natural environment, based on the statistics on economic and ecological systems of Russian regions. The study that have been undertaken allowed us to establish extensiveness of this relationship. The situation implies the existence of the negative elements affecting economic growth, on the one hand and ensuring the improvement of quality and standards of living and on the other hand, reducing its volume, reducing human ressources.
