FORMATION OF DRAINAGE PROJECTS TO CHANGE THE PURPOSE AS A MECHANISM TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF UNITED TERRITORAL COMMUNITY

Abstract

The creation of united territorial communities took place in a hurry, is still going on, and often contrary to the requirements of the proposed methodology, which determines the norms according to which the optimal formation of a viable territorial community is possible. It should be noted that "capacity" is rather understood as an economic concept, while in the proposed methodology the focus was more on geographical and infrastructural indicators. Therefore, communities are often created and operate without complying with the requirements of the methodology, and as a result there is a significant differentiation between the levels of their capacity. The key issue for the territorial community to exercise its powers is closely related to the filling of its budget. This increases the interest of local governments in increasing revenues, finding reserves to fill them, improving the efficiency of administration of taxes and fees, and so on. 
 One of the five eligibility criteria is community size. Most communities in this respect are landless with a high population density, sometimes with difficult natural conditions. This leads to the search for approaches to the efficient use of available land resources, the basis of which is almost everywhere the category of agricultural land. 
 Very often, these lands contain objects that correspond to other categories of lands, in particular the nature reserve fund and other nature protection, recreational, health and historical and cultural purposes. This creates a number of problematic issues related to: reduction of land tax revenues; probable loss of useful properties due to improper use and practical complexity of the mechanism of protection of such objects.
 Alternatively, it is proposed to divide the land plots with the separation of such objects and change their purpose. The article reveals the expected effect of the implementation of such measures. Note that increasing the level of capacity of communities is the key to improving the success of the state.
