Abstract: This paper highlights a sustainability and self-organization perspective of the innovation ecosystems in
housing and communal services. The theoretical basis of the research are the concepts of sustainable
development, open innovation, circular economy, and the theory of complex systems sustainability. The
article formulates the basic principles of innovative technologies implementation in the water supply sector
of housing and communal services. A conceptual model of the organizational and economic mechanism for
managing the development of an innovative ecosystem in the water supply sector in the East Kazakhstan
region has been developed. Theoretical and methodological provisions, conclusions, applied
recommendations can be used in the process of diagnostics and monitoring of innovative development of
water supply systems on the regions level, in the development of national strategies for economic and
innovative policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The propositions arising from this analysis provide
information to help academics, policymakers, government, and individual enterprises with a more adequate
understanding of the practical mechanisms and tools that help trigger self-organization and sustainable
development of the innovation ecosystems..
1 INTRODUCTION
Globalization has led to an increase in competition on
international markets. Technological, digital, and
political trends have rapidly engulfed all institutional
and economic processes. Breakthrough innovation
and cross-industry impact have become the norm in
many processes.
At the same time, integration, in which different
systems interact with each other and create value
from data streams, forming an innovation space is
crucial. The unsolved problem of post-Soviet states
economies is the search for specific drivers that
ensure innovative sustainable development, which
creates favourable conditions (organizational and
economic mechanisms, scientific and technical base,

motivational and stimulating mechanisms) for the
generation and implementation of innovative
activities, the introduction of scientific and
technological developments in production, and the
promotion of products to the market.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim
to promote sustainable economic growth through
higher levels of productivity and implementation of
technological innovations. As stated in Goal 9, there
is a request to build “sustainable infrastructure,
promoting sustainable industrialization and
innovation” (Report of the WCED, 2019). There is a
need for an integrated multi-stakeholder approach to
progress across the multiple SDGs set in the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development.

socio-economic development of the state, have an
impact on the quality of life of a person and society.
The implementation of innovation development
policy is mainly due to the internal innovation
potential and effective management influence. The
study of the innovative development theories has
increased the attention to innovations in the field of
water supply.
The lack of quality drinking water is an important
factor in the health of the population. Back in the 19th
century, Louis Pasteur said: "People drink 90% of
their diseases." (Garrone,2017).
In Kazakhstan, every year there are up to 1,000
new cases of diseases per 100 thousand people due to
the poor quality of drinking water. Water is an
exhaustible resource, so more and more countries
around the world are recognizing the need to increase
innovation capacity in the water sector.
The water supply sector is a socially significant
area, the infrastructure and condition of which are of
strategic importance for the national security and
economy of each state. The importance of
strengthening the innovative sector of modern water
supply systems is largely due to the course of
modernization of socio-economic policy and
sustainable development.
The paper is organized as follows. First, a
theoretical overview of the innovation and
sustainable development concepts, related schools are
provided. Section 3 introduces the factors influencing
the development of innovative processes, followed by
Section 4, which presents research methodology.
Section 5 presents an innovative organizational

reform. In Section 6, the authors make some
concluding remarks and discuss prospective models
for creating an innovation ecosystem in HCS. The key
findings of the study, theoretical contribution and
practical significance of the study are highlighted.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
The theoretical basis of the research are the concepts
of sustainable development, open innovation, circular
economy, and the theory of the stability of complex
systems. The most acknowledged definition of
“sustainable development” is that proposed by the
United Nations World Commission on Environment
and Development (UNWCED): “Sustainable
development is development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs”. This means that
the strategy of each market participant focused on
long-term development should ensure a balanced
triad of economic, social, and environmental
components. There are different approaches to the
concept of sustainable enterprise development
(Adams, 2016; Hope, 2009; Zu, 2013; Tolstykh,
2020a; Wirtenberg, 2008). Sustainable enterprises
consider both the economic and social aspirations of
people related to the enterprise and the impact on the
natural environment (Shmeleva, 2018).
Summarizing the positions of researchers, the
authors understand the sustainable development of an
individual industrial enterprise as the long-term
balanced development of a company, the targets of
which are accumulated and harmonized according to
the principle of triad: technological, social, and
environmental areas. In the digital age, a large role is
given to innovativeness in the triad of sustainable
development.
Innovative sustainable development is a
development that creates favourable conditions
(organizational and economic mechanisms, scientific
and technical base, motivational and stimulating
mechanisms) for the generation and implementation
of innovative activities, the introduction of scientific
and technological developments in production, and
the promotion of high-tech products to the market.
The concept of open innovation was first
formulated by Chesbrough H. (Chesbrough, 2006).
This concept allows us to overcome geographical,
institutional, and disciplinary barriers due to the
openness of R & D, the diffusion of technologies, the
exchange of knowledge between universities,
scientific laboratories, engineering centers, suppliers,
consumers, government. Open innovations (Yun,
2019; Carayannis, 2016) are based on the following
principles:
transition from the use of exclusively internal
closed developments to the use of external
knowledge.
there are many ideas on the market that can make
a profit for the company.
creating a sustainable business model of the
organization is a priority compared to market
leadership.
An innovation ecosystem can be defined as an
open and self-developing system of network equality
of economic actors, self-organizing based on a special
environment formed because of the exchange
(overflow) between the actors of innovative energy,
namely, new knowledge, technology, information, or
unique resources (Tolstykh and Shmeleva, 2020b).
Over the last decade, the discourse on enhancing
the sustainability of industrial development has
focused on the circular economy model, and the idea

Services in the East Kazakhstan Region

to reshape the industrial systems following the
objective of a more balanced interplay of
environmental and economic systems has gained
increased attention worldwide. Circular economy is
widely considered as a strategy to reconcile industrial
systems with the natural environment through the
careful design of new products and implementing the
“closed-loop system” processes (Fischer, 2017).
Implementing the circular economy (CE) concept
encourages environmental protection and social
prosperity (Sverko,2020), eliminate the
environmental problems faced by society, while
enabling value-added growth of industries in line with
country’s sustainable development. Originally, CE
aims to increase the efficiency of resource use, with a
special focus on urban and industrial waste, to
achieve a better balance and harmony between
economy, environment, and society (Ghisellini,
2016). The understanding of circular economy is
ambiguous among researchers today. Many studies
argue the CE implications in managerial terms for
business efficiency (Bocken,2016). Meanwhile,
“there is no single group with the undisputed
authority to define what circular economy means
exactly” (Lewandowski,2016). Many studies show
that the CE model traces different methodological
approaches and that its origins seem to be mainly
rooted in different fields. The principles of CE are
mainly gathered from other schools of thought,
including industrial ecology, ecological economics,
performance economy, natural capitalism, product-
service systems, blue economy (Pauli, 2010), etc. A
deeper analysis of the approaches proposed by these
schools of thought is presented in (Borrello,2020) In
addition, it is crucial to identify how CE and the
concept of sustainability relate. As noted in (Tolstykh
and Shmeleva, 2020b), CE can contribute to the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals,
including environmental, economic, and partly social
dimensions of sustainability.
Several approaches are used to define the stability
of the socio-economic system as a complex concept
(Gershanok, 2006; Blauberg, 1973). The first
approach, the stability of the socio-economic system
is related to the security, stability, reliability,
integrity. It should be noted that the stability of the
national economy is determined based on the criteria
of its security, stability, ability to be updated and
constantly improved. The stability of a country as a
single system means the strength and reliability of its
elements, economic and organizational ties between
them, and the ability to withstand internal and
external loads. In contrast, safety, reliability, and
resistance are considered as conditions and attributes
of the stability of a socio-economic system, while
reliability and resistance are mainly inherent in
technical systems.
The second approach is based on the
understanding of the stability of the socio-economic
system as the stability of parameters over a certain
period. Stability is "a necessary condition under
which the system must return to a state of equilibrium
after any small jolt." The stability of a system is
characterized by its ability to remain relatively
unchanged, despite internal and external
disturbances. As a counterargument, the opponents of
this approach put forward the property of self-
organization of the socio-economic system. It has a
built-in mechanism for transforming the system and
performing its functions, ensuring the survival and
stability of the system and its approach to the goal.
This does not exclude the occurrence of
contradictions in the system itself since its parameters
are constantly changing during development and
operation.
The third approach, stability is "the ability to
maintain a dynamic balance". From this point of
view, the economic stability of the regional economic
system is considered as an integral property of the
system to maintain dynamic equilibrium when
changing the parameters of the external and internal
environment within acceptable limits. Considering
the approaches exposed, we must emphasize that
there is a lack of organizational and managerial
models that ensure sustainable development.
3 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The search for organizational and managerial models
that ensure innovative sustainable development has
been conducted for more than a decade. However,
common approaches to determining the effectiveness
of the activities carried out in the innovation sphere
have not yet been fully developed. The study of the
factors influencing the development of innovative
processes in water supply systems and the conditions
for the development of socio-economic systems from
the perspective of an innovative approach allows to
solve the following priority tasks:
precise definition of the institutional
conditions for innovative development of a particular
region.
search for the most significant and effective
factors for the effective functioning of state and
regional systems.
determination of the optimal criteria for the
ratio of the scientific result and the invested funds.

identification of relationships between
different sectors of the economy that also affect
innovative development.
assessment of the current state of innovative
development of the water supply system in the
region.
Ignoring the priority of solving the set tasks raises
several objective and subjective obstacles to the
effective development of both the state as a whole and
its individual regions.
Noting the high potential of regional and urban
mechanisms of socio-economic policy that can
influence innovative management. The level of
innovation in the country's region is formed from the
general interaction of many factors. All factors
influencing the formation of the innovation
environment can be divided to four groups: socio-
economic conditions of the region's development;
human capital; innovative potential and management
capacity.
Ensuring the sustainable development of the
economy, the formation of the economic security of
the country or region assumes a state of the economy
in which the level of social, political, defense
existence and innovative development is consistently
maintained.
The ability to self-develop and progress means the
ability to independently create a favourable
investment and innovation climate, develop
innovative and intellectual potential.
Developing countries depend on innovation, as
new digital technologies and innovative solutions
create opportunities to fight disease, poverty, and
hunger in the world's poorest regions.
As a result of the survey of residents of the East
Kazakhstan region, the key factors hindering the
development of innovative activities were identified
(Fig. 1)
Figure 1: The main barriers to the development of
innovation activities.
These are, first, political instability, corruption
and high taxes, and a shortage of qualified workers.
To consider, the interests and identify consumers of
housing and communal services, their classification is
proposed:
1. Focus on satisfying the customer's details.
- direct services that meet the immediate needs of
customers (payment,
commercial, investment
services).
- indirect or related services that make it more
convenient to provide direct services without the
client receiving additional utility (clearing services,
consulting services, etc.).
- services that bring additional utility to the
functioning of housing and communal services or
reduce housing and communal services costs.
2. Segmentation by customer groups. According
to the complexity of the organization, there are
several options for services provided by housing and
communal services enterprises:
- services that are in the greatest demand from
residents (services for overseeing the provision of
water resources).
- services that require a special level of
organization of housing and communal services and
training (asset management of housing and
communal services, investment services).
- services that require professional knowledge in
the use of services.
- services that require special knowledge and
skills in the field of institutional planning of housing
and communal services, investment engineering.
In addition, the innovation management
principles in the housing and utilities system are
determined, based on the quality management system
and innovation management. The system model that
provides the implementation of the principles of
innovation management in housing and communal
services is shown in Figure 2.

The fundamental principles of the innovative
technologies in the water supply sector of housing
and communal services, which allow to ensure proper
quality by meeting a certain set of established
requirements.
The first group of requirements, utilities based on
the introduction of innovations must strictly meet the
system of quality standards, standards, technical and
sanitary requirements, the terms of the concluded
contract, ISO criteria.
The second group of requirements, a utility
service based on the introduction of innovations, must
meet the needs and expectations of the consumer, the
requirements dictated by the company's charter, rules,
norms for the protection of the environment, and the
welfare of the housing stock. Moreover, it is the
consumer (the homeowner or the initiative group)
who should evaluate the impact of innovations on the
quality of the service provider's work. To implement
a full-fledged comprehensive assessment, it is
necessary to develop a methodological approach and
a system of indicators for assessing the impact of
innovation results on the quality of services in the
housing and utilities system.
This system should be based on the following
groups of indicators: organizational and economic;
technical and operational indicators; indicators of
resource conservation; environmental efficiency.
The third group of requirements, the utility service
must be built based on an economically reasonable
tariff that can satisfy all sides of the utility relations
and be profitable for them.
The process of implementing the principles of
innovation management in the housing and utilities
system is based on the development and description
of certain rules and algorithms for the work of the
management company and accountable persons in the
context of innovation implementation. This process
assumes that the operations performed in the
provision of services based on the introduction of
innovations should be put under the control of
responsible persons, and that orders, decisions and
orders will be communicated to a specific performer
and executed at the required level. The presented
principles and factors of innovative development
should be considered when forming the mechanism
of sustainable development of housing and communal
services.

4 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The study of innovation ecosystems is based on the
methodology of complex systems and networks. In
accordance with the theory of complex systems,
ecosystems be-long to the class of nonlinear systems.
The innovative organizational model as an ecosystem
of integrating knowledge obeys of a systematic and
self-organization law. The law of self-organization
works when the sum of the potentials of the system
significantly exceeds the total effects of the micro-
and macro environment. The basis for implementing
preventive measures for the ecosystem is the constant
work to increase the amount of knowledge
accumulated by complex systems, the constant
processing and transformation of information and
creative ideas into knowledge and new technologies.
From our point of view ecosystem is not only the
ability to respond and reflect technological and digital
challenges, but also create intelligent technical
environment that are minimize negative
consequences and create optimal conditions for the
implementation of projects at any level.
Another approach to the study of ecosystems is
represented by the entropy theory by I. Prigogine
(Prigogine, 1991). The ecosystem is a dissipative
system, as the dissipation function (entropy
production within the ecosystem per unit time in a
unit volume) is different from zero. Dissipativity is a
loss of energy. One of the main properties of complex
self-organizing systems is the accelerated production
of entropy, that is, when a new ordered structure
arises, the rate of knowledge entropy production
increases. Entropy is a quantitative measure of
disorder in a system. The greater the entropy of the
ecosystem state, the more ways it can be implemented
between actors, the less ordered it is, and the more
self-organized the actors of this ecosystem are. In
other words, an increase in entropy means an increase
in the degree of freedom of the actors from external
control, and, consequently, an increase in its self-
organization and, as a result, responsibility for its own
sustainable development.
The assessment of knowledge production in the
system or intellectualization should reflect the
economic return on investment in the development of
technologies, human resources and increase the level
of intellectual potential. The effect of system
intellectualization occurs when technologies stimulate
the transfer of knowledge, business innovations, and
lead to increased productivity within the company.
And finally, speaking of innovation ecosystems as
cooperation of actors it is necessary to study the
processes of networkization in terms of the theory of
scale-free networks. B. Barzel and A.-L. Barabási
[2013] suggested that networks form a kind of
framework for the corresponding complex systems
and proved that scale-free networks are very resistant
to accidental damage, or external accidental
influences. However, deliberate damage to one or
more nodes with many connections (degree
centrality) leads to the disintegration of the network.
The authors propose using this approach to model
water system in East Kazakhstan region.
5 RESULTS
The East Kazakhstan region belongs to the most
affluent and rich in water resources region of the of
Kazakhstan, which is determined by its natural and
climatic conditions. The water fund of the region
includes rivers, lakes, swamps, ponds and reservoirs,
underground waters, and glaciers. The total
freshwater resources per inhabitant of the region are
about 50 thousand cubic meters per year.
However, the East Kazakhstan region is a major
industrial centre of the Republic of Kazakhstan. There
are more than a thousand medium and large industrial
enterprises operating in the region. In this regard, the
water fund of the region has a "moderate and high
level of pollution" in terms of chemical indicators: the
maximum permissible concentration of sulphates,
nitrites, ammonium, and some heavy metals of copper,
zinc, and magnesium. The main factors of technogenic
influence are the discharge of untreated industrial,
agricultural, and domestic wastewater into filter
reservoirs, the loss of polluted water from utilities,
emissions of gaseous substances into the atmosphere,
and the increase in the groundwater level in residential
areas and irrigation massifs. Water is defined as a
"critical resource", and growing problems with water
supply and wastewater treatment are turning the water
agenda into an area of increased attention from large
corporations and the state.
To ensure the sustainable development of the
economy of the East Kazakhstan region, it is
proposed to develop and implement a promising
innovative model for managing the development of
the water supply system.
As the analysis showed, in the water supply sector
of housing and communal services of the East
Kazakhstan region, there are no uniform norms and
rules of activity, as well as mechanisms for their
interaction with state authorities. As a mechanism for
improving the water supply system in the territory of
the East Kazakhstan region, a model of an innovative
ecosystem is proposed, the main actors of which are

regional operators in the housing and utilities sector.
The proposed model is shown in Figure 3.
In accordance with the presented model, a non-
profit association of organizations in the housing and
utilities sector of the East Kazakhstan region appears
on the territory of the subject, which is an open
platform where housing and utilities professionals
and regulatory authorities have the opportunity to
meet and discuss important topics, highlight current
problems and try to find ways to solve them together.
"The process of governance is gradually
becoming not one-sided, but a bilateral and even
multilateral process." This leads to the transformation
of the borders between the state and society, as well
as changes in the format of their interaction. This
cooperation is necessary to find the most effective
tools for the development and strengthening of the
housing and utilities sector. To solve the problems, it
is necessary to regulate the issues of protection and
rational use of water resources at the legislative level,
more strictly, as well as to accelerate the processes of
innovation in water supply systems as early as
possible.
6 DISCUSSION AND
CONCLUSIONS
As a result of the study, it was found that water system
in the East Kazakhstan region has not yet reached the
necessary level of development. One of the priority
tasks is to create an effective innovative model based
on the ecosystem and circularity principles,
considering the concept of open innovation.
Further steps for the implementation of the
innovative model should be the formation of self-
regulatory organizations of the East Kazakhstan
region in the field of water supply and sanitation. To
do this, it is necessary, first, to increase the scientific
potential of the region through the implementation of
large innovative projects in the field of water supply,
financing of R&D by the state on a grant basis.
Secondly, by improving the tax system, developing
cluster strategies aimed at commercializing
innovative projects, accelerate the development of
innovative entrepreneurship. Third, by reducing
bureaucratic processes in making investment project
decisions, increasing the number of grants, creating
business incubators, and increasing the level of
development of multi-level innovation infrastructure.
Fourth, by simplifying the conditions for attracting
investors and financial institutions, by promoting the

development of a network of individual investors, to
develop the financial infrastructure of the region.
