Regional Governance Quality Assessment Factors

Abstract

Aim. The presented study aims to propose and describe a methodology for assessing the quality of regional governance by identifying criteria and measurable indicators. Tasks. Regional governance quality assessment makes it possible to solve a number of problems, such as planning the level of management quality, monitoring the quality indicators of regional governance as a system and as a process, and developing reference documentation for regional governance quality assessment. Methods. Regional governance quality assessment is one of the most urgent problems to be solved in social and economic systems. To develop a set of assessment criteria, this study uses a systems approach to the classification of terms and definitions used in this subject area.Results. The authors present the results of their analysis of scientific literature on regional governance assessment factors and propose a systems approach to the classification and further assessment of these factors based on criteria, metrics, and assessment elements. Conclusions. The results of the study substantiate the importance of studying regional development factors to be able to ensure the efficiency of government activities. Developing this system can be considered a priority task for the formation of efficient regional governance. It would make it possible to further automate the assessment of certain factors with allowance for the applicability of individual assessment criteria to specific regions and the stages of the life cycle of sociological research.
