Abstract

The article reveals the problems of governance in the communities of Ukraine. The shortcomings and imperfect work in the preparation of decentralization reforms (based on the results of three previous reforms) are considered. One of the main problematic issues is the creation of such a model of territorial community management, which would be able to provide quality public services to community members. We will analyze the main factors influencing the management system of territorial communities. It is theoretically determined that the economic potential increases with the size of the community, thus increasing the ability to provide quality public services. It is determined that management and services are moving away from residents, and the level of community influence on decision-making is declining. According to the results of the practice of the first year of existence of territorial communities under the new administrative-territorial system, this pattern can be traced in large communities. Therefore, it is very important to ensure the uniformity of government throughout its territory, the availability of residents to administrative services. The exclusive competence of village, settlement, city councils as to bodies of representation of local self-government is outlined. The analysis of organizational structures and staff lists of selected territorial communities of Kherson region is carried out, which allows not only to analyze their effectiveness in fulfilling their tasks and powers, but also to follow the evolution of these structures. It is determined that with limited financial resources there is a question of the most effective functional division of responsibilities between the structural executive bodies of the council. The study of Ukraine's experience during the transition period shows that even small communities can be effective, using the tools provided by the state to solve common problems with neighboring communities, to a greater extent through cooperation. It is concluded that with a high probability to be economically, budgetary, personnel and organizationally capable, other things being equal, can really be a large community with a significant population.
