Abstract

The problems of the development of territorial communities in the conditions of constant changes and the occurrence of unpredictable crises are studied. The dependence of the development of the entire country on the ability and interest of communities to engage in the local development of their territory is revealed. The importance of the need to adapt the development strategy of territorial communities to modern changes is emphasized. The need to constantly search for additional opportunities for the implementation of appropriate actions regarding the transformation of territorial communities in the direction of their improvement was emphasized. The importance of confronting negative influences that constantly arise at the local level is noted, and certain steps to overcome them (during and after the end of hostilities) are also proposed. An important role is assigned to effective strategic planning, which will take into account modern changes by the various characteristics of territorial communities. The essence of strategic planning and obstacles to its implementation are characterized. Some areas of activity of the Ministry of Development of Communities and Territories are outlined. The interrelationship of the local development planning process is presented and the tools of direct and indirect support for the development of territorial communities are provided. The importance of creating appropriate conditions for the organization of cooperation between territorial communities and its stimulation is emphasized. A list of important factors of change that will have a significant impact on local development and the development of new approaches to community development planning is given, and it is proposed to add to it public management factors of change, which include modern capabilities of the management system and an increase in the level of participation, cooperation and the growing importance of civil society in territorial development processes.
