Application of the public-private partnership formula in thermomodernization projects of public buildings in Poland in the years 2009–2020

Motivation: For over ten years, Poland has observed a systematic use of the public-private partnership (PPP) formula in implementation of investment projects. Local government units are particularly active in this area. One of the self-government’s own tasks is the management of municipal property, including public utility buildings. The implementation of such tasks, in accordance with the European Commission’s recommendations, should be conducted in cooperation between a local government unit and a private entity under a public-private partnership.
 Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the public-private partnership market in Poland in the context of the implementation of thermomodernization projects of local government public facilities in the years 2009–2020.
 Results: The market in Poland is generally flattened, as more than 90 per cent of launched projects fall into the local government sector. It is the local authorities that initiate intersectoral cooperation based on the PPP formula. Knowing their local communities, they carry out tasks that meet their needs on the one hand, and respond to climate and energy challenges on the other. This is evidenced by a growing number of projects

Management of municipal property in Ukraine and some countries: the essence, tools

Introduction. Unfortunately, municipal property, like private property in Ukraine, is not a reliable source of stable local budget revenues because, mainly, the form of ownership is not the leading factor in the high efficiency of the economic system, and the conditions in which it can be created to any of the forms of ownership, including municipal, could reveal its own potential, which will increase the economic efficiency of business entities and improve the living standards of community members.The aim of the article is to clarify the essence of municipal property and to establish tools for municipal property management in Ukraine and some countries around the world for comparison and improvement.Research methods. In the process of research to achieve the goal of the article used a number of methods of scientific knowledge (analysis, induction, deduction, synthesis, generalization, comparison of systems and tools of municipal property management in Ukraine and some countries).Results. In the scientific literature, there is mainly a classification of world-famous models of municipal government organization, which provide for the formation of relations between local governments and relevant authorities in the center. According to this approach, it is expedient to distinguish three such fundamental models of local self-government, as: Anglo-Saxon (classical), continental and mixed. The Anglo-Saxon (classical) model is common, mainly in the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, India and others, where the eponymous legal system. The continental (or French) model of local government organization is quite different, common not only in European countries, including France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, but also in many Latin American countries, the Middle East, and France. It is clear that the analysis of the current state of affairs abroad can play a leading role in solving the problems of improving the management of Ukrainian municipal property. Generalization and popularization of the positive practice of individual countries with developed democracies in the subject area studied by us is expedient for the improvement of the Ukrainian legislation of Ukraine. For example, in order to form several sources of financial resources that are objects of the current municipal property of any country.Discussion. The analysis of the positive practice of local self-government in Ukraine and some countries of the world allows to draw a number of conclusions: granting local governments some state powers increases the authority of these bodies, promotes their “merging” and mutual enrichment; There is a need to develop the necessary future steps to develop the system and tools of local self-government of Ukraine and consolidate them at the regulatory level, taking into account the different types and forms of business entities, and subject to new laws continue to work in, lack of sufficient necessary financial and economic base, incomplete economic and legal regulation. We should not expect a one-time creation of the basis of local self-government throughout Ukraine, but move in this direction step by step and so on.Perspectives. In the future, more attention should be paid to the study of the principles and methods of collecting and disseminating positive experience in municipal property management both in Ukraine and in some countries around the world, which were discussed in this publication. It would also be worthwhile to deepen research on areas for improving the efficiency of operational management of municipal property and indicators of its evaluation.

Civil legal personality of Local Self-government bodies

The article is aimed at revealing the problem of participation of local self–government bodies with the legal status of legal entities - institutions in civil legal relations, as well as at identifying ways to resolve it. At the practical level, the problem is expressed in the uncertainty in which cases local self-government bodies act in civil circulation on their own behalf, and in which cases on behalf of the entire municipality. Certain gaps in civil legislation today allow municipalities to create legal entities not only to establish the legal status of their bodies, but even to separate divisions of such a body. At the theoretical level, the problem is expressed in the choice of the optimal and most effective model of participation of the municipality through its bodies in civil legal relations and management of municipal property. Applying the formal legal method from the standpoint of a dialectical approach, the author examines the raised problem from the point of view of the applicability of the institution's design to local self-government bodies. As a result of his reflections, he comes to the conclusion that local self-government bodies are an integral part of a municipality, and therefore cannot be separated from it by putting on the mask of a legal entity. To do this, the author proposes to amend the civil legislation in terms of limiting the spheres of establishment of institutions to the social and cultural sphere, excluding the sphere of management from Article 123.22 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

The practice of applying the foresight research method in Planning the use of Land Resources

The article discusses the practice of using the "SWOT analysis" method for planning the use of municipal land resources. The object of the study was municipalities on the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The research technology includes two stages. The first stage is the study of municipal land management programs. The second stage is field research: a survey of experts in a small group using electronic means of communication and a personal conversation with experts. Electronic means of communication were used to interview experts who could not be contacted in person due to the following reasons - the remoteness of the experts' location, restrictions on personal contacts in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result of the conducted research, the positive aspects of the activities of the municipal property management committees, as well as conditions that reduce the effectiveness of the work of the committees, have beenidentified.

IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF MUNICIPAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

The analysis of the property belonging to the municipal property of the city of Saratov is carried out. In the course of the work, there is a lack of a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of the Ministry of Defense of the City of Saratov. The assessment of the efficiency of municipal property management of the City of Saratov is calculated using the existing system of evaluating the effectiveness of the City of Arkhangelsk, covering the entire spectrum of municipal property objects. Based on the results of calculations, an indicator that does not correspond to the normative value is identified, and ways to eliminate this problem are proposed. It is proved that the City of Saratov needs to develop its own assessment methodology to improve the activities of municipal authorities in the field of property management, and it is proposed to take some of the indicators from the methodology of the City of Arkhangelsk, since they clearly reflect the economic state of the city. Another method of increasing efficiency is the Concession Agreement, because it is a promising way to eliminate problems and perform tasks.

Публичные вещи

The features of ownership, use, disposal of public things intended to meet national needs are investigated. Objects of private property are also included in the composition of public things at the discretion of the authorities in a state of emergency. Public things, unlike other property, are less inherent in the attributes of commercial use, obtaining commodity and other material benefits. Considerable attention is paid to the correlation between the regulation of the management of state and municipal property with non-public property, including things related to common ownership.

Право муниципальной собственности в России и Монголии

The specificity of the legal regime for municipal property is determined by various factors, including features of the administrative-territorial structure, relations between different levels of public authority, the economic policy of the state, and the essential characteristics of the legal system. An analysis of Russian and Mongolian legislation showed some significant differences in consolidating the right to municipal property. Some of them are caused by varying independence levels of municipalities. In Mongolia, the combination of the principles of self-governance and public administration provides a wide range of opportunities for public authorities to participate in municipal property management. The author notes that Russia and Mongolia have a fundamentally different approaches to understanding the essence of rights to property and other objects of civil law. In Russia, the legislator tries to adhere to the distinction between property rights and rights of obligation; in Mongolia, there is a proprietary concept that allows any objects to be considered as objects of property rights. That makes possible the resolution of controversial issues regarding the ownership of municipalities on budget funds, non-documentary securities, and intellectual property rights.

ПРОБЛЕМЫ В СИСТЕМЕ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ МУНИЦИПАЛЬНОЙ СОБСТВЕННОСТЬЮ И ПУТИ ИХ РЕШЕНИЯ

The article analyzes the management system of municipal property as one of the sources of income to the local budget. When writing the article, comparisons, generalizations, induction, and data analysis were used. In addition, the analysis of normative legal acts and generalization of practical and regulatory materials were used. In the course of the conducted research, the following problems were identified: low rates of privatization of urban property; low rates of involvement of land plots in circulation; lack of title documents for a significant number of municipal property objects; lack of complete and reliable information about the state and movement of municipal housing stock as part of the consolidated Register of the city district; lack of control over the maintenance, operation and insurance of municipal property leased, which leads to deterioration of the condition of the property, and in some cases to its loss, etc. It is concluded that the activity of the structural unit created for the management of municipal property in the city is ineffective. All identified problems allow the Committee to adjust the work plan, taking into account the identified problems.

EXTRA-BUDGETARY FINANCING FOR MORTGAGES OF PUBLIC LANDS

The socio-economic realities caused by the global economic crisis and the pandemic objectively require a revision of traditional approaches to the management of state and municipal property, more active involvement in the sphere of civil legal turnover and market relations of the most important natural resource of the country - public lands belonging to municipalities and subjects of the Russian Federation. Based on the principles of public-private partnership, as a permanent mechanism of self-financing and a "point of growth" of the real sector of the economy, an original method of involving public land assets of Russia in mortgage turnover is proposed.

Analysis of modern official methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of state and municipal property management

The article presents the results of the analysis of the new efficiency methodology, which is the resulting document, which reflects the current official views on this issue. Until 2020, there were no criteria for determining the effectiveness established at the federal level by legal acts that could be taken as a basis for regions and municipalities. To eliminate gaps in the legal regulation in the field of state property management in October 2020 the methodology for determining the criteria for the optimal composition of state and municipal property and indicators of the effectiveness of management and disposal of it was approved. For federal authorities, the use of this methodology in the management and disposal of property is a mandatory requirement, and for the executive authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation and local self — government bodies-a recommendation. The article considers in detail the changes in methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of state property management, which will contribute to the improvement of the entire system of state property management, and also notes the bottlenecks in the currently existing methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of state property management.

Практичні підходи до вдосконалення оцінки майна територіальних громад

The transformation of the authorized approaches to assessing the effectiveness of state and municipal property management in modern Russia

The article presents the results of a study of changes in the methodological (government-approved) approaches to the problem of the efficiency of state and municipal property management in the course of Russian reforms. Four stages are identified from the beginning of the 1990s to the present, each of them being characterized primarily by its own distinctive conceptual ideas regarding privatization, the scale of the public sector, and state participation in the economy. These conceptual approaches are reflected in specific regulatory documents and in official statistical indicators, the development goals of which and the directions for their improvement have been analyzed by the authors of the article.
