Abstract

Due to the intensification of hostilities in eastern Ukraine in 2022 and the occupation of Luhansk and part of Donetsk oblasts, the issue of assessing and building the capacity of communities and districts has become more relevant. This is due to the fact that the assessment is influenced by many factors, including the geographical location of the community and the presence/absence of hostilities. The purpose of the article is to substantiate proposals for increasing the capacity of territorial communities and districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts due to the war. Methods used in the study: comparative analysis, detailing and generalisation, grouping. The hypothesis of the study was the assumption that the decline in the capacity of territorial communities affects the change in the capacity of districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, which should also be assessed. Summary of the main material.To substantiate the proposals for improving the capacity of territorial communities and districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, the results of a comparative analysis of the indicators of the capacity of communities in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, taking into account pre-war and war realities, were used. On the basis of the results obtained, the matrix of alternative proposals for improving their capacity is formed. The capacity of the districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in 2021 and 2022/2023 is determined. The originality and practical significance of the study lie in the proposals developed to increase the capacity of territorial communities and districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Based on the results of the conducted research, a matrix of eventual proposals for the territorial communities of Donetsk and Luhansk regions was built and the capacity of the districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions in 2021 and 2022/2023 was determined. It is noted that the Luhansk region is almost entirely occupied, and in the Donetsk region, part of the territory is occupied, and in another part of the territory, the production and social infrastructure has been destroyed (and is being destroyed). Therefore, according to the results of the district capacity assessment, no district was identified as capable. Further research is needed to substantiate the reconfiguration of territorial communities and districts in the East of Ukraine in the post-war period.
