Abstract

The article is devoted to the formulation of the definition and disclosure of understanding of the purpose and objectives of public administration of local development in Ukraine. The author is convinced that for the public administration of local development in Ukraine the correct definition of its purpose is of great importance, because, firstly - it is possible to predict the future consequences of a specific government action (both positive and negative), and secondly - it outlines the limits of necessary tools for activities of authorized entities, the implementation of which ensures the achievement of the planned results. The study revealed that the purpose and objectives of public administration of local development in Ukraine are separate block elements of the structure of this process. Their totality represents its actualization as a necessary socially determined mechanism by which is performing socio-economic, environmental, spiritual, cultural support of regions. These are actions that local public administration and citizens commit in close cooperation to achieve the desired, planned results, which have long been a public challenge to implementation, but not implemented in practice, in particular because at the highest state level they are either not proclaimed at all or not have sufficient basis for proper implementation. The author's definition of the analyzed categories is given, and also the vector of a direction of activity of public administration concerning maintenance of local development in Ukraine is outlined. Local authorities should initiate the process of meeting the needs of their community to higher state authorities, without the division of powers between them "top-down". This state of affairs should be implemented in the near future by optimizing the legal framework, where the balance of local needs with state capabilities ensuring the interests of the region and its inhabitants.
