Bilukha L. Mechanisms for the implementation of the state policy on the development of capable territorial communities in Ukraine

The dissertation is devoted to the substantiation of theoretical positions and the development of practical recommendations for improving the mechanisms of implementation of the state policy of development of capable territorial communities in Ukraine under the current conditions. The dissertation has systematized theoretical approaches to the definition of the essential features of state policy of development of capable territorial communities, which has made it possible to clarify the main directions of state policy of development of capable territorial communities, and to establish the main tasks and components of state policy of development of capable territorial communities. It has been found out that the formation of organizational, legal, financial, economic, and personnel mechanisms for implementation of state policy of development of capable territorial communities in Ukraine is yet to be done, and we conclude that most legislative acts were adopted in the 1990s, when Ukraine proclaimed its independence. The ways of improvement of mechanisms of realization of state policy of development of capable territorial communities have been determined: by substantiating the proposals on the drafting and adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On the administrative-territorial system in Ukraine", which at the legislative level regulates the following definitions: "administrative-territorial unit", "settlement" and their classification, the definition of "community" and the conditions for the formation, reorganization and liquidation of communities will be specified there, as well as the procedure for the transfer of administrative centers, changes in the boundaries of settlements and categories of settlements, the procedure for naming and renaming settlements and their state registration will be provided; by adopting the Law of Ukraine "On Prefects", which will regulate the mechanism for monitoring the observance of the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine and the Laws of Ukraine by local self-government bodies and capable territorial communities, also it will coordinate the activities of territorial bodies of ministries and other central executive bodies, etc. The directions of improvement of the financial and economic mechanism of implementation of state policy of development of capable territorial communities by means of medium and long-term strategic planning in the formation and approval of budgets of territorial communities have been determined, promotion of cooperation of territorial communities; development of projects to be implemented on the territory of the community in order to attract various investments to development of social infrastructure, industrial infrastructure, including foreign investment will be ensured.
