AN ECONOMIC STUDY ON EGYPTIAN ORANGE EXPORTS AND ITS COMPETITIVENESS IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

Foreign trade plays a major role in the implementation of the economic development programs, especially in developing countries. The goals and national orientation represented by export development which ensures the continuation of development efforts consequently are increasing employment opportunities, improving living standards of citizens and decrease the deficit in the trade balance, especially in light of rapid global changes. This changes requires the necessity of providing a competitive advantage for export commodities. That competitive advantage result from the interaction between economic growth stability. Moreover, the development of the private sector, education, productivity and efficiency, which affects the degree of integration in the global economy. From this standpoint, the agricultural sector plays an important role in developing the economy by its contribute in developing the exports. According to CAPMAS data the Egyptian orange is considered one of the most important exported fruits in Egypt trade, as its export value about 493.28 million dollars, which represents 11.3% of the value of Egyptian agricultural exports, which equal 4391.915 million dollars, during the average period (2014-2017). Moreover, Egyptian orange prices in the international markets are more competitive than prices offered by other international suppliers, therefore studying the most important foreign markets for Egyptian orange exports to know prevailing conditions in these markets, and determine the competitors and their price levels, which helps Egypt to push and increase oranges exports within these markets and then identifies the most important factors that can be focused on keeping the competitiveness of the Egyptian orange in the international markets.

Legal aspects of the programming budgeting development

An article is devoted to the complex problem of the programming budgeting legislation aspects implementation in Ukraine and in the economically developed countries also. In Ukraine during the last two decades special legal documents were accepted in order to use the program-target method in the budgetary process regulation. Some of these documents are mentioned in this article. Taking into account the necessity of the legislation norms in the field of programming budgeting in Ukraine improvement, an international experience in the respective financial law sphere is important as a source of new ideas for the legislation norms in Ukraine further development and harmonization with legislation norms accepted in the economically developed countries also. That is why in this article programming budgeting international practice achievements and faults are analyzed. An attempt to concentrate attention on the respective problematic questions in the budgetary law sphere is undertaken. The characters of the administrative, centralized, model of the programming budgeting, which occur in the countries with the presidential form of govern, and also the contractive, decentralized, model of the programming budgeting, which occur in the countries with the considerable power of the parliament, are described. Attention is focused on the analysis of the accepted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development programming budgeting classification, what includes the performance-oriented budgeting model, and also the performance budgeting models, namely: the presentational performance budgeting; the performance-informed budgeting; the direct performance budgeting. Comparative analysis of these models implementation shows that in order to reach positive result the financial law special acts were accepted in different countries. Taking into account the necessity of the public finance sphere organization improvement, it is reasonable for this purpose to concentrate attention on the performance-informed budgeting legislation development in Ukraine.

Sektor Ekonomi Kreatif Kuliner Solusi Bagi Perlambatan Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Daerah Kabupaten Fakfak

Creative economic is a sustainable development strategy in addressing slow economic growth that occurred in Indonesia as well as in Fakfak, a natural resources richest region. Economic structure alteration from agriculture as primary sector to industry and information sectors indicated the need of innovation and creativity as a new source of sustainable economic growth. Creative economic can be a solution to impove regional economic in Fakfak which have slow economic growth, and high number of unemployement. Result of Hirarchy Process Analysis (HPA) shows that culinary is a potential creative economic sector apart from craft and tourism. This is caused by highest scores that achieved from several supported elements in culinary sector such as human resources, natural resources, cost, market access, technology and infrastructure and institutions. The HPA result also indicated that local government through its economic policies has played important role in supporting kuliner sector as well as economic development program of BP Tangguh, bank and universities or academics. Therefore, increase production and product diversification of local resources based culinary is still needed.

Formation of a stable price for energy resources by solving a non-linear dynamic problem as an element of socio-economic stability of the economy

Relevance. The authors note that the formation of a stable price for natural resources and the possibility of smoothing the price during fluctuations not only in demand for them, but also changes in the supply schedule for economic and other reasons require the development of an economic model; they are very relevant. The purpose of the study: identifying the possibilities of forecasting energy prices in the event of price fluctuations and the formation of various levels of demand in the market and taking into account market and non-market methods for its regulation. Results of the study. Studying various processes and problems in the field of economics, the authors propose using various types of linear and nonlinear boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations. This paper shows that the theory of boundary value problems for nonlinear differential equations is one of relevant factors in predicting energy prices in the structure of the economic development program. The authors define modeling tasks for the purpose of adjusting energy demand for a long time. This paper notes that the formation of demand for energy resources in addition to the standard time lag, which determines seasonality, also requires adjustment due to the need to formulate the socio-economic task of smoothing demand. Conclusions. The economic and mathematical models presented in the paper are universal and can be used by business entities, state bodies which form the demand and consumption of energy resources in the country. This will contribute to increasing the efficiency of managing the country’s energy complex and ensuring integrated activities focused on making informed and timely decisions in other business facilities.

Status of Labour households and Marginal Farmers in Bihar: A Comparative Analysis

This study is based on the longitudinal information collected in the selected villages of Bihar. The data collected during 2010-11 and 2014-15 were analyzed using descriptive and econometric techniques. An attempt was made to analyze employment generation, income of different marginal farmers and labour households and the extent of indebtedness and earning prevalent among rural labour and marginal farm households in rural Bihar. The result indicated that the average size of landholding of labour and marginal farmers increased in villages under study because some of these households purchased land from other categories of households through their meagre savings possible due to increase in employment opportunity and wages, particularly in non- farm sector in Bihar. The levels of livelihood parameter are low on labour households, but they performed impressively during the recent past. The total values of assets of labour and marginal farms’ households under study has considerably enhanced during five years due to either possession of new assets, rejuvenation, and/ or value appreciation of the existing assets. Labour households earned a higher income than marginal household in 2014- 15 due to availability of non - farm employment and grants under social security schemes. There has been significant improvement in education level, asset possession and availability of facilities. However, social security programmes seem to be more robust than economic development programmes including agricultural development. The investment in human capital or skill development in rural area will be equally important in the endeavour for alleviating poverty and improving livelihood status. The complementarities among various types of infrastructures, institutions and development programmes need to be ensured to accelerate the process of poverty alleviation and improving livelihood in rural Bihar.

Regional Cultural Policy: Ural Scenarios

Taking into account the cultural potential of each region, the identification of criteria of the effectiveness of cultural policy, current trends of economic and socio-cultural development allows to solve urgent problems. Among them - identification of priority directions of regional cultural policy; formation of programs of social and economic development of the region based on use of cultural potential of the region; formation of cultural identity; assistance in development of cultural industries and cultural initiatives; development of mechanisms for involving the entire population in cultural activities. The article considers the difference between the scenarios of cultural policy, in particular, Chelyabinsk region on the basis of comparative analysis of the state programs of cultural policy of the subjects for 2011-2018 of the Ural Federal district (Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk, Kurgan regions, Yamal-Nenets Autonomous area and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area).
 Keywords: cultural policy, regional cultural policy, state programs of culture development, “economy of emotions”.

FORECASTING THE VALUES OF ECONOMIC GROWTH FACTORS IN A REGION (A CASE OF THE UDMURT REPUBLIC)

The article deals with forecasting the values of economic growth factors in a region on the example of the Udmurt Republic. A statistically significant multiple linear regression equation (that explains the dynamics of the gross regional product from the signs-factors) is derived, a factorial forecast is developed and the results obtained are interpreted. Deflation method has been applied to eliminate the impact of price growth and GRP value has been calculated in 2007 prices. On the basis of multiple regression analysis, a matrix of paired correlation coefficients is calculated and informative factors of the model are selected. The significance of paired correlation coefficients is checked. The model is constructed in its natural form with informative factors only. The statistical significance of the regression coefficients is evaluated with the help of the Student's t -criterion, the quality of the equation is estimated through the average approximation error, which confirm the sufficiently high quality of the model. The predicted value of the result is calculated. It was found that if the current trends in the dynamics of these factors persist, we can expect the growth of real (physical volume) GRP over the period 2016-2020 by 26 % or 5.5 % annually, which meets the requirements of economic security of the region. The above information can be used to develop programs of regional economic development and design in the system of state and municipal administration.

The Problem with Solutions: Development Failures in Bangladesh and the Interests They Obscure

Long described as the “largest poorest” country, Bangladesh has been a prime target for massive infusions of foreign aid for decades. Through historical and ethnographic investigation, I document how flood control and agricultural intensification projects underwritten by foreign institutions exacerbate vulnerability to water crises in Bangladesh. These ostensibly pro-poor water governance and economic development programs engender cycles of crop loss, groundwater and soil salinization, reduced fisheries, and impeded navigation that erode agrarian livelihoods, thereby reproducing the conditions and rationale for continued flows of aid dollars into the country. Shifting attention away from depoliticized problems and solutions, I develop the concept of the interest-shed as a broadly applicable method for intervening in cycles of failure by examining the interests that they serve. This framework can also be used in the planning process by enabling differently situated groups to evaluate how proposed schemes include, ignore, or prioritize their interests.

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and Dynamics of Regional Connectivity: Prospects and Challenges

Since 1950, China and Pakistan have enjoyed historic friendly relations. They helped each other during the times of need and have supported each other at various regional and international forums. Currently, they are engaged in building the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which is a component of China’s gigantic economic venture, One Belt, One Road (OBOR). Later termed as Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), it is a framework of regional connectivity to enhance geographical linkages and to improve roads, rail networks with frequent and free exchanges of growth while moving towards more optimal business by win-win model. The CPEC, being its flagship project, has the potential to bring incredible financial gains for the BRI countries. In this connection, the South Asian countries and the global community have mixed perception about the project. However, the CPEC is important for regional countries because it will bring socio-economic prosperity and technological advancement. The CPEC will offer China and Pakistan an opportunity to promote regional connectivity, trade growth and infrastructure development. Pakistan views the corridor not only as an infrastructure and economic development programme but a key initiative for the country’s economic prosperity. Nevertheless, China needs to expand its influence in the peripheral neighbourhood, consolidate its global presence and secure future supply routes of energy and trade goods; This will help Pakistan become one of the beneficiaries of the Chinese investment in the region.

State Educational Order as a Factor in the Socio-Economic Development of Regions

Introduction. Successful solution of the tasks of socio-economic development in the modern world is possible only in the case of effective functioning of the education system, which would provide training for a competitive personality, focused on continuous development and capable of “complying” with rapidly changing conditions of social reality. It is assumed that building an education development strategy, setting its goals and objectives should be based on the needs and problems of society, creating the basis for sustainable prosperity of the country and taking into account the needs of individual regions and territories. One of the most important mechanisms for the development of the regions of the Russian Federation remained the state educational order – officially developed task by the authorities for the creation of a specific educational product.The aims of the present article are the following: to determine the relationship between the educational state order, the volume of investments in the education system and the level of socio-economic condition of the regions; to identify the territories, which require support.Methodology and research methods. In the course of the study, the methods of comparative, statistical and system analysis, deduction and induction, generalisation and theoretical modelling were used. The object of the content analysis was the regional programmes for the development of education in 40 regions of the Russian Federation, covering the entire territory of Russia and reflecting the specific development of various regions depending on the remoteness of the capital, the status of the subject of the Russian Federation and the socio-economic development of the region.Results and scientific novelty. Russian regions were classified into four groups according to the results of the analysis of regional educational development – very high, high, moderate and low. A number of general and specific problems of education in the regions were identified: the lack of a single educational space and, as a result, the heterogeneity of educational programmes; regional leaders disregard for opportunities to expand socio-economic potential of the territories through the implementation of such programmes; the gap between the financing of education and its socio-economic importance, etc. The authors conclude that state educational order at the regional level is not considered as a vector of social and economic development of the territories, and its role is reduced to an educati onal level. It is established that the rate of development of education in the Russian regions does not always depend on their key socio-economic indicators. The greatest differentiation of the trend is recorded, when comparing the rate of development of the regional education systems and the gross regional product.Practical significance. The authors give recommendations to resolve disagreements over the formation of state education orders in the context of the socioeconomic development of regions. The need to develop regional economic development programmes, taking into account the specific social structure of the region, is emphasised. It is proposed to organise permanent social monitoring, which measures the quality of implementation of educational state order and strengthen the role of public participation when determining its content. The research materials and findings might be used by the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, whose competence includes educational development issues.

KEBIJAKAN PEMBERANTASAN ILLEGAL FISHING DI ZONA EKONOMI EKSKLUSIF INDONESIA LAUT CINA SELATAN TAHUN 2017

There have been many changes from time to time in fish resources in the waters of the South China Sea. These changes are caused by irresponsible people who carry out illegal fishing or commonly called illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU-fishing). Handling and eradication of illegal fishing will support the targets needed in economic development programs maritime based. In addition, illegal fishing in an exclusive economic zone, specifically in the South China Sea, not related to fishing will have an impact on losses, moreover more worrying is the matter of the Republic of Indonesia's sovereignty at stake. Not being able to eradicate and provoke illegal means that the dignity and national dignity in the eyes of the international community will be even worse. The government needs to improve and improve the oversight problem that controls fish resources in Indonesian fisheries by foreign vessels and national fishing vessels. In addition, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries needs to formulate steps set out in the rules and eradicate illegal fishing practices. Based on this description, there are two questions that will be answered in this study, namely: (1) What is the policy and coordination system between government institutions in combating illegal fishing in Indonesia's Exclusive Economic Zone, especially in the South China Sea? (2) Why is the practice of illegal fishing in Indonesia's Exclusive Economic Zone, specifically in the South China Sea difficult to overcome, and what are its weaknesses? Where this research uses qualitative methods, which consist of writings either books, journals, or mass media. And can also consist of words and writings from people who are close intact, in other words the data include descriptive data.

Mathematics educators are speaking about PISA, aren’t they?

AbstractThis paper sets out to explore the different uses made of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Program for International Student Assessment (OECD-PISA) tests and data in mathematics education research. Through a comprehensive literature review of journals and conference papers, we show that although a large variety of topics is addressed, they do not cover all the topics considered in mathematics education research. Analysing the temporal and geographical distribution of papers, we find that there is increasing interest in the use of PISA in our field of research and that different countries are involved in different ways in mathematics education research about PISA. As a conclusion, we suggest that critical research into the effect of PISA can be developed further, especially in those countries that have joined the OECD survey in recent years. Other future research paths using data from PISA are detected.

The ethics of religious giving in Asia: introduction

ABSTRACTThe ethical evaluation of religious giving involves multiple metrics of theological references, everyday ethics, ritual correctness, and materialist self-interest. Understanding how these categories are constantly re-made and experienced in the lives of individuals and the broader history of religious traditions is vital to understandings of the ethics of religious giving. The salience of this ‘value pluralism’ is particularly amplified in contemporary Asian contexts, where complex inter- and intra-religious dynamics, agendas of modernizing reform, state projects of nation building, economic development programs, and various forms of activist mobilization cut across intertwining vectors. It is our goal to describe the ongoing everyday decision-making processes of individuals in diverse contexts in order to contribute both empirically and theoretically to discussions of the ethics of religious giving. In this special issue, we present an interactionist perspective in which the category of ‘the religious’ is dynamically and mutually reconfigured in relation to other salient fields of charity, philanthropy, and humanitarianism.

ON FINANCIAL AND INVESTMENT PROBLEMS IN THE CONTEXT OF REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN

The factors which enable the sustainable development of the regions, the principles and measures of the financial and investment support were determined. The significance of practical conceptual approach to business and investment support of the regional social and economic development was revealed. The importance of financial and investment assistance in the modelling of social-economic development on the regional level, the maximum rational use of the local natural and economic supplies in the formation of the financial resources, and enterprise modelling issues were analysed. There was prepared a structure of regional investment policy formation and implementation system. The main aim of the research is to investigate the problems of financial and investment support modelling of the local social and economic development, to analyse the conceptual praсtical approach to these problems and definition of the adequate mechanisms. Proceeding from the objective situation of the regional social and economic development in Azerbaijan, there was justified a complex functional structure of the regions. The formation factors and implementation ways of preparation mechanisms of the regional investment policy were determined. The directions of strengthening of the finance and credit support of the social and economic development programs were justified. There was also given a scheme of enhancement of the financial and credit support rationality of the regional social, economic development program. The fraction of regions in the total amount of the commercial agents in Azerbaijan was analysed. There was prepared a scheme of essential directions of the multiplicative effect in the social-economic development of the regions. The efficiency issues of the regional social-economic development program in Azerbaijan were analysed. There were presented the dynamics of funds oriented to the nominal capital on areas in Azerbaijan and dynamics of funds geared to the symbolic capital per capita on regions. The current situation of the regional social, economic development in Azerbaijan and production of outputs on the commercial areas were analysed. The dynamics of outputs production per capita in the main fields of economics region-wise and the dynamics of industrial production volume region-wise were also presented. Generalized, the factors were determining the strengthening of financial and investment support of the regional social-economic development. There were shown the ways of a strategic approach to the commercial and investment support of the social, economic growth in the regions in the short and long terms in Azerbaijan. There were prepared suggestions and advised on the issues reviewed in the article.

How Do Economically Active People with Disabilities Access Microfinance?

Abstract:Many economically activepeople with disabilities do not haveaccess to affordable financialproducts and services. The consequence is that not only do people with disabilities experience social exclusion, but they also struggle to secure their financial lives. Althoughmicrofinance has been widely used in Bangladesh formore than three decades as a tool for reducing poverty and empowering poor people, few Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) recently started providing microfinance to some selected economically active people with disabilities. However, very little evidence exists to show how people with disabilitiesaccess microfinance. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify the barriers or challenges that people with disabilities face to access microfinance. This study uses a qualitative case study approachbased on interviews with thirty-five economically active people with disabilities and ten stakeholdersalong with document analysis and observation as a tool for research data collection. Data analysis was conducted usingthematic analysis, with findings showingthat people with disabilities face substantial barriers to access microfinance. These barriers includeharder credit conditions, lack of social capital, negative staff attitudes,no or insufficient training,andabsence of an integrated approach. Theresearch suggests that the government should formulate an integrated policy framework aiming to help people with disabilities for financial inclusion. Moreover, Non-GovernmentalOrganizations (NGOs), Disabled People Organizations (DPOs), MFIsandpeople with disabilities couldcome together todevelop an effective partnership for designing social and economic development programs that canempower people with disabilities. Finally, this research suggestssome of the key strategies such as to develop MFI’s anti-discrimination policiesand theirimplementation, convenient credit designfor people with disabilities, improve skills, enhance capacitiesand, build self-confidence of people with disabilities. Furthermore, this research recommendsthat MFIs couldprovide financial literacy to people with disabilities, trainingto MFIs staffon disability issues, raise awareness among credit group membersabout disability, and more importantly identify people with disabilitiesespecially in the rural areas to enhance financial inclusionof people with disabilities.

Program-target method in planning of state budget

Purpose. The aim of the article is the development of proposals for improving the methodology of program-targeted planning in the process of managing the State Budget of Ukraine. Methodology of research. The following methods of economic research are used in the article: comparative analysis, causal analysis, expert survey – in determining the effectiveness of the National Target Program “Drinking Water of Ukraine for 2011-2020”; tabular and graphical methods – for visual visualization of the analysed / obtained data; abstract and logical – in formulating conclusions from the study. Findings. It is established that the total number of state targeted programs is reduced in recent years in Ukraine, respectively, and the amount of their funding is reduced, and the quality of their development and implementation remains low. It is substantiated that the program-targeted approach in Ukraine is unalterable, as it most fully and consistently allows in practice to implement the principles of state budget planning. At the same time, certain restrictions in the use of program-targeted planning have been identified. The method of evaluating the effectiveness of budget programs at all stages of the budget process is proposed, which can be a supplement to existing methodological approaches to realistically assess the implementation of a program, correct planned results, clarify goals and basic parameters of state programs of social and economic development of Ukraine. Originality. Scientific and methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of budget programs have been further developed; in particular, proposals have been developed to improve the methodology of program-targeted planning in the process of managing the State Budget of Ukraine. Practical value. The results of the conducted study can be the basis for improving the current methodology for assessing the effectiveness of budget programs in Ukraine, as well as identifying opportunities for European practice of program-targeted budget planning. Key words: state budget, planning, program-target method, evaluation, efficiency, program.

Economic Behavior of the Indigenous Peoples in the Context of the Industrial Development of the Russian Arctic: A Gender-Sensitive Approach

This article substantiates the need for a gender-sensitive approach to research on the economic behavior of inhabitants of the Arctic in the context of the re-gion’s industrial development. The article also emphasizes one category of the economic behavior of the indigenous peoples of the North as a separate subject of research in the field of economic sociology. The purpose of the article is the development of a model of economic behavior of the residents of the Arctic in the context of industrial development in the region based on the use of methods of sociological research. The paper presents findings of research carried out in areas of the Russian Arctic where industrialization is underway, as well as the findings of a gender-sensitive survey focused on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the indigenous peoples. The principal characteristics and trends of male and female economic behavior under conditions of industrial development of the Arctic have been defined from a gender-sensitive perspective by means of an example of the Arctic areas of the Sakha Republic (Iakutiia). The article offers gender-sensitive mechanisms for managerial decision making and the elimination of gender inequality in view of findings of sociological surveys in the framework of ethnic expert study and ethnosocial monitoring of the projects, as well as the development of programs of social and economic development of the region with reference to the opinions and preferences of women and men. © 2020, Slavica Publishers.

Modeling the coordination of general and private interests of the development of economic entities

The article presents a dynamic socio-ecological-economic model of the synergetic development of individual economic entities, which makes it possible to reconcile their general and private interests. Maximization of specific consumption is proposed as a target parameter. Accordingly, in relation to private interests - the subject, in relation to general interests - the governing center. The model provides for the possibility of using the available resources by each entity both in the tasks of their own development and in the general development goals of other entities. The presented model can be used to form an economic development program for a separate territory, a separate industrial cluster, a municipality, a region and a macro-region. As a result of modeling, control parameters are formed for developing a strategy for economic development. A model of territorial development based on two models is presented: a dynamic model of the combination of general and private interests and a neoclassical Solow model. It is proposed to use a model for regional systems, where the elements of the system are regions within one macro-region. The parameters of the model used for the macroregion are described in terms of identification. The modification of the Solow model takes into account a) threshold limits on the volume of production in the region, emissions and discharges of pollutants from the regions; b) interaction of subjects in solving joint development problems through cross-investment for a synergistic effect; c) taking into account the influence of technical progress both on the volume of the quantity of products produced and on labor productivity. As for the use of the model of the combination of general and private interests, the sum of two terms was taken as the target function of agents (regions): the maximization of specific consumption is taken as the private interests of the region, and the specific consumption of the entire macroregion is taken as the general interest.

Región v štruktúre územnej samosprávy

The concept of regional identity encompasses a number of fields, elements and subjects that create it. There are many definitions in the current scientific literature characterizing this topic. We encounter a large number of definitions, mainly in foreign studies. Under the conditions of the Slovak Republic, this field is much less explored. On the one hand, the individual self-governing regional units strive to maintain their uniqueness and preserve their historical and cultural values, economic or social status. On the other hand, they implement regional identity in their Social and Economic Development Programs minimally. It is the citizens themselves, visitors, investors, public and private subjects, central government and many other factors that shape the region's identity in Slovakia. The Regional Identity Index (IRI) is an effective tool for measuring regional identity in each self-governing region. Thus, it determines the overall level achieved in a certain period and can lead to useful information about the functioning and future direction of the territory. However, the calculation of IRI in the conditions of Slovak self-governing regions is significantly absent. Based on the research problem, the main aim of this paper is to propose an IRI for self-governing regions in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. The calculation will be formulated through quantitative data and factors, predefined and implemented schemes in practice. Príspevok poukazuje na skutočnosť, že systematický každoročný výpočet indikátorov môže byť nie len pre samosprávne kraje, ale aj miestne samosprávy (obce a mestá) smerodajným pri vypracovaní strategických dokumentov v oblasti územného rozvoja, prijímaním miestnych politík či budovaním marketingovej stratégie územia, čím by sa zvyšovala konkurencieschopnosť a regionálny rozvoj vo všetkých úrovniach územnej samosprávy. The paper points out that the systematic annual calculation of indicators can be decisive not only for the self-governing units, but also for local self-governments (municipalities) in the preparation of strategic documents in the fields of spatial development, adopting local policies or building the marketing strategy of the territory. This would increase competitiveness and regional development at all levels of territorial self-government.
