The thesis for obtaining the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of knowledge «Public Administration and Administration» in the specialty number 281 «Public Administration». – National Dnipro University of Technology, Dnipro, 2021. The thesis paper substantiates conceptual bases of public governance of processes of improvement of territorial communities life quality in the context of sustainable development priorities of implementation. Research object – public relations in the field of life quality. Research subject – public governance of the processes of improvement of territorial communities life quality. Purpose of the thesis research is to substantiate the conceptual bases of public governance of processes of improvement of territorial communities population life quality as a priority of sustainable development and to develop proposals for ways of its effective implementation. Despite the growing number of publications on theoretical and applied aspects of the life quality improvement, the issues of this process management, in particular at the level of territorial communities, remain scantily studied. The contradiction between the public need for effective management of the processes of the population life quality improvement, on the one hand, and the lack of scientific development of strategies, technologies for these processes management, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly apparent. The main problem of the thesis research is connected with this contradiction – the problem of effective public governance of the processes of the population life quality improvement at the level of territorial communities. The formation of a system of public governance of the processes of territorial communities life quality improvement is a process of difficult formation of new, shift away from the old approaches and stereotypes. Today it is impossible to give any final assessment and present this process in its completed form. But the movement has already begun, in particular, the movement to refocus social policy to the development and satisfaction of the needs of not an abstract but a specific person. The presented thesis research is aimed at making this movement more constructive and confident.
