Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of finding and introducing modern innovative approaches to the activities of local self-government bodies of Ukraine. It has been found that overcoming the problems of old and inefficient models and management methods that do not meet the requirements of modern communities is possible only through the development of high-quality and effective theoretical, methodical, organizational, and legal support for the process of local self-government. The definition of the concept of “local self-government” is summarized, using the regulatory margin and considering this concept in the context of modern realities, which now constantly face this institution of management. The author's interpretation of the category “local self-government” was developed for the needs of solving the problems and problems set out in the article. An organizational and legal mechanism for introducing innovative approaches to the activities of local self-government bodies has been developed as the main element of the definition of the category “local self-government.” Problems related to the effective functioning of institutions for the provision of “electronic” public services have been investigated. Innovative approaches to improving mechanisms for the provision of “electronic” public services by local authorities have been developed and justified. A general methodology for reengineering the administrative and management processes of local self-government bodies in the form of phases and stages of its implementation has been developed. It was concluded that the continuous development of the system of local self-government does not allow the development of sustainable types of innovative approaches to solve problem areas of local self-government “forever,” but requires the constant monitoring of foreign experience of advanced countries and the constant development of new and progressive innovative mechanisms that will continue to introduce decentralization reform and the creation of strong and effective local self-government bodies

Local self-government will be considered as a separate organizational and legal mechanism of public administration at the regional level of the country, the key elements of which are a united community of people and local self-government bodies formed by this society under the procedure established by the legislation of Ukraine, and functioning based on adaptive management in objectively existing political and socio-economic needs and challenges, which leads to the urgent need for its constant improvement through the introduction of innovative approaches to the management of this mechanism
The main result of the implementation of innovative approaches to improve the mechanisms for the provision of “electronic” public services by local authorities in Ukraine (Fig. 3) should be an improvement in the efficiency and quality of public administration, after all, the transformation of public services into electronic format will contribute to their optimization, strengthening processes of interaction between authorities, improving electronic interaction of state and local registries, which will reduce the “paper” document flow, free the time of civil servants to perform other functions, reduce financial costs and develop effective mechanisms to combat “bureaucracy on the ground”

Many scientific and methodological works of scientists of state administration, economics, management, and other fields of science are devoted to the introduction of innovative approaches in the activities of local self-government bodies of Ukraine, namely: O.M. Nepomnyashchyy, O.A. Marusheva, Yu.H. Prav, O.V. Medvedchuk, I.A. Lahunova, A.P. Lelechenko, V.I. Shariy, O.A. Diegtiar, N.S. Orlova et al [13], N.I. Kosteniuk [4], M. The above-mentioned scientists conducted studies of the problem presented in the article, provided theoretical and methodological and practical recommendations for solving them In these works, the issues of developing an organizational and legal mechanism for introducing innovative approaches to the activities of local governments, with the help of which it is possible to justify proposals and recommendations for introducing innovations in this area, remain incomplete
