Implementation of circular economy principles to promote the development of rural areas

The relevance of the study lies in identifying and explaining the impact of implementing circular economy technologies on the development of rural areas within the framework of the state strategy for regional development in Ukraine, thereby contributing to ensuring the socio-economic stability of communities and the overall security of the country. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of utilising circular economy opportunities on the development of rural territories. The abstract-logical method was employed to substantiate the research methodology and formulate theoretical conclusions. The analytical and comparative methods was utilised to organise researchers' scientific approaches to theoretical aspects of circular economy development, refine the methodological basis, and substantiate the applicability of circular economy principles in rural development. The research utilised a graphical method to illustrate the findings and an abstract-logical approach to draw conclusions and recommendations. The study was divided into three main stages. The literature on the contemporary definition of "circular economy" was examined, and the driving forces and barriers to systemic circular economy in rural areas were analysed. The study investigated how European Union countries apply strategies to address environmental and economic issues through the lens of circular economy. The analysis of the experience in implementing circular economy practices in EU countries revealed a clear trend towards more sustainable resource utilisation and reduced environmental impact. The implementation of the "Farm to Fork" strategy under the European Green Deal is a crucial step towards ensuring sustainable resource use and implementing environmentally friendly practices in agriculture and the food industry. An assessment of the impact of implementing circular economy on the socio-economic development of rural areas was conducted, indicating that the development of circular models can be key to optimising resource utilisation, creating new employment opportunities, improving production efficiency, and increasing the profitability of agricultural enterprises. The implementation of circular methods in agriculture can reduce resource costs and provide more stable conditions for development. The results can be beneficial for government bodies, local administrations, agricultural enterprises, and cooperatives in Ukraine striving to achieve sustainable development of rural territories through the implementation of circular approaches in the economy.

COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SOCIO-CULTURAL ACTIVITIES: ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE

This study investigates into the complex interplay among communication strategies, globalization, and socio-economic factors within the context of regional development, with a specific focus on Ukraine. Employing a mixed-methods approach, it seeks to investigate the profound impact of effective communication strategies on socio-cultural management and their contribution to regional growth in the era of globalization. The study combines quantitative data from regional development reports with stakeholders across various Ukrainian regions. A theoretical model, based on game theory and the Prisoner's Dilemma, is employed to examine strategic choices in communication, globalization integration, socioeconomic focus, infrastructure development, and cultural initiatives.Through an extensive analysis combining quantitative data derived from regional development reports with insights from stakeholders representing diverse Ukrainian regions, this research reveals that cooperative communication strategies, characterized by robust engagement, a balanced approach to globalization, equitable socio-economic development, strategic infrastructure investment, and active promotion of cultural initiatives, yield the most favourable outcomes for regional development.The key takeaway from this study is the paramount significance of inclusive and participatory approaches, effective communication strategies, and harmonious integration of globalization to foster sustainable regional development. Notably, tailored communication strategies exhibit a significant correlation with the success of socio-cultural initiatives, consequently exerting a positive influence on regional development. These encompass community engagement, cultural sensitivity, and adaptive information dissemination. In conclusion, comprehending and optimizing communication strategies emerge as critical imperatives for harnessing the benefits of globalization in the realm of regional development in Ukraine and analogous contexts.

The article is devoted to the study of theoretical and practical aspects of financial support for regional development in Ukraine. The importance of financial support for the development of the region is emphasized. It is noted that the formation of an effective system of financial support for regions plays a key role in creating the prerequisites for their socio-economic development, improving the level of satisfaction of citizens' interests, providing high-quality public services to the population, and coordinating the interests of the state and territorial communities. A model of financial support for regional development has been developed, which reflects the results of solving the tasks of the region's development at different levels (national, regional, local). The dynamics of revenues of the general fund of the State and local budgets of Ukraine (without transfers) in 2018-2023 were analyzed. The structure of local budget revenues by types of revenues was studied. It was established that tax revenues and official transfers took the main share in it, while non-tax revenues accounted for less than 6%. It was established that thanks to the rapid adaptation of enterprises, as well as state and local self-government bodies to the requirements of martial law, in 2023, the increase in revenues of the general fund of local budgets was ensured compared to 2022. It was noted that there was an excess of revenues to local budgets in Ukraine over their expenditures in 2023. The main directions of expenditures of local budgets and the State Budget of Ukraine have been analyzed. The need to optimize financial support for the development of the regions, to improve the management of their functioning in general, and to find optimal ways of attracting investment resources to the regions was emphasized. It was noted that this will be facilitated by the formation of a favorable investment climate in Ukraine and its regions; overcoming corruption phenomena; implementation of constant monitoring of the influence of factors that activate or restrain the process of financial support; formation of an effective legislative and regulatory framework that will allow improving the actual filling of local budgets; use of modern financial instruments, etc.

Mechanism of State Management of Sustainable Development of Regions

The modern organizational restructuring of state power in Ukraine creates corresponding challenges for the country itself, its regions, business and individual citizens. This especially applies to the issue of efficiency and their permanent interaction in the context of ensuring sustainable development. Under such conditions, increasing the effectiveness of the existing state management mechanisms is relevant for the sustainable development of regions in Ukraine for several reasons. Firstly, the presence of martial law in Ukraine imposes additional challenges and demands on public administration. Also, developed digital technologies for providing administrative services have great potential for improving the accessibility and quality of services for citizens and businesses. Digitalization can significantly simplify and speed up the processes of providing administrative services, reduce bureaucratic barriers and improve interaction between authorities and citizens. The article examines the peculiarities of functioning and the main directions of application of the regional state management mechanism in the context of sustainable development. This is taking into account the modern view of its components and ensuring efficiency. The components of the mechanism of state management of sustainable development of regions (functional components, tools and principles) and the peculiarities of their interrelationship are substantiated. The selected principles can serve as a basis for effective state management of the sustainable development of regions and contribute to achieving a balance between economic, social and environmental development. A theoretical generalization of the features of the implementation of state management tools for the sustainable development of regions in Ukraine has been carried out. The specifics of urban and rural areas and their inclusiveness were taken into account. In the modern approach to the construction and implementation of the mechanism of state management of the sustainable development of regions in Ukraine under martial law, the following should be taken into account: adaptability to unforeseen situations, ensuring security and stability, involvement of the local community.

The innovations’role in facilitating regional development

The paper analyses the impact of innovations on facilitating regional development in Ukraine. The main goal is the estimation of the innovations’ role in the regional economy. Applying Schumpeter approach to dynamic economic growth, we consider the special policy for regional equalizations based on decreasing asymmetric innovative development in regions. Substantiated the development and implementation policy taking into account the innovative component for each individual region. The adoption and application of innovation policy measures proposed for inequalities smoothing and competitiveness increase in Ukraine’s regions. The improvement and overcoming of regional disproportions through equalization of gross regional product per capita in regions proposed. The strategy of coordination activities, financing, and attracting investment in regions analyzed. The hierarchical cluster analysis proposed for the assessment of regional innovative inequalities. The special regional policy based on the hierarchical cluster estimation’s results suggested decreasing imbalances and stimulating innovations inflow in regions.

Regional policy is always about balanced and sustainable development of regions, constructive competition between regions, and ultimately, the creation of poles of socio-economic growth. The military invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine undermines many achievements in regional development management. The focus of regional policy in Ukraine has been forced to shift from searching for innovative components to create points of socio-economic growth to policies aimed at rebuilding and restoring critical infrastructure and basic living conditions. The current realities faced by the regions necessitate a revision of the provisions of the State Strategy for Regional Development for 2021–2027 (hereinafter referred to as the State Strategy), regional strategies, and strategies for the development of territorial communities. Additionally, it is necessary to determine a new mechanism for the utilization of funds from the state regional development fund. The war has created a new and unique situation in the regional development of Ukraine, characterized by significant changes in the political, socio-economic, security, and environmental spheres of life in the occupied, de-occupied, and unaffected regions that have been influenced by the war in one way or another. This situation requires new approaches to regional policy to address existing problems and tasks. The modern trends in regional development management in Ukraine have been identified, the impact of decentralization reforms on regional development has been analyzed, and the transformation of institutional support for territorial development and the prospects of regulatory and legal support for regional development management have been studied.

The article highlights the most important factors in the development of types of tourism in the post-war period, the economic growth of both branches and enterprises of the tourism industry, and the country as a whole, and the prospects for the development of certain types of cruise business in Ukraine are determined. Key words: tourism sphere, tourism development, types of tourism, tourism modernization, competitive strategies, solidarity tourism, development factors.

ASSESSING THE REGIONAL LABOR MARKET BY USING DATA MINING METHODS: WAYS OF EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONING

As a result of the uneven development of certain territories, it is more feasible and effective to tackle the practical issues of labor market regulation at the regional level. This ensures sufficient regulation of the system. Since it is necessary to properly account for the regional differences in practice, it is required that these issues be methodologically justified. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate regional labor markets based on indicators of the socio-economic development of regions using the data mining methods. The current study has clustered regions of Ukraine on the basis of the level of their socio-economic development using data mining methods, in particular Kohonen maps and the k-means methods. One of the most critical stages in the assessment of Ukraine’s regions in terms of socio-economic development by using data mining methods is to determine the information base, criteria of evaluation, and a list of estimates. The data mining methods have gained much popularity in the assessing regional differentiation. The conducted analysis based on data mining methods included the use of the Deductor software, which includes the following analytical algorithms: neural networks, Kohonen’s self-organizing maps, autocorrelation and regression, associative rules, decision trees. For our study, we used the cluster analysis method based on Kohonen’s self-organizing maps as one of the most popular and frequently used methods for solving problems of the regional economy and assessing the differentiation of regions. In the context of our task, the result of cluster analysis is clusters of regions, united by indices of socioeconomic development. The main aspects of the socio-economic and demographic development of the regions are characterized by a set of statistical indicators related to four blocks of key factors: 1. Assessment of the demographic situation in a region. 2. Assessment of the social situation in a region. 3. Assessment of the economic situation in a region. 4. Assessment of the organizational environment in a region. The study, by no means, claims to detect all the dependences in the labor market related to all the above-mentioned factors. Based on public data, given in the statistical yearbook “Ukraine in Figures” (2020), by using mathematical methods (correlation-regression and cluster analysis), we obtained two groups of factors that characterize different aspects of the socio-economic and demographic development. The ranking of the regions by the level of extensive and intensive development shows that the development of the regions in Ukraine mainly proceeds in the extensive path of development. Almost all regions of Ukraine demonstrate a low level of intensive development. The integrated coefficient of intensive development for many territories is far from a maximum value; there are well distinguishable and huge discrepancies in the levels of the regions’ intensive development. Such a gap between the natural and human resource potentials, on the one hand, and the level of the development of economic activity and its territorial organization within the regions, on the other hand, leads to investment unattractiveness of some territories. Thus, the estimation of the country’s regions based on the level of their socio-economic development testifies to the dominance of extensive factors in the development of most regions in Ukraine. Common areas of the policy, conducted in the labor market, for all groups of regions are the measures to conduct an active policy (promoting self-employment and small businesses; the creation of new jobs; vocational training and retraining of unemployed people; public works; improvement of employment services, etc.).

Mechanisms of State Regional Socio-Economic Policy in Ukraine

Socio-economic problems of regional development in Ukraine necessitate attention to the mechanisms of state regional socio-economic policy. Modern scholars in the field of public administration pay special attention to the study of the mechanisms of state regional socio-economic policy. However, the issues of improving the mechanisms of the state regional socio-economic policy remain insufficiently researched. Theoretical principles of the state regional social and economic policy, its mechanisms and directions of their improvement are investigated. It is noted that in modern conditions the state is engaged in socio-economic sphere at the regional level to stimulate effective development of productive forces of regions, rational use of resources, ensuring a high standard of living, environmental security and improving the territorial organization of society. Socio-economic transformations that have taken place in recent years in Ukraine indicate the need to improve the mechanisms of state regional socio-economic policy. Lack of interconnected regulatory framework through which the state would consistently influence regional socio-economic development, imperfection of organizational, economic and information support of state regional socio-economic policy in Ukraine leads to the construction of a comprehensive mechanism of state regional socio-economic policy, which should be aimed at ensuring the achievement of the objectives of such a policy, to increase its effectiveness. In the context of modern global challenges, special attention should be paid to the strategic approach to the state regional socio-economic policy in Ukraine.

The article is devoted to the study of certain issues of material and financial support of regional development in Ukraine. The directions and methods of stimulating the development of the regions of Ukraine in the war and post-war periods have been studied. Based on the current legislation, as well as on the scientific works of leading Ukrainian scientists, the directions of state regional policy are highlighted. Based on the set purpose, emphasis is placed on the key principles of such a policy, on those goals and tasks that must be set and fulfilled as a matter of priority. It has been proven that the main role in this is given to the financial and material independence of the united territorial communities and regions of Ukraine. Ways of improving the current normative and legal framework of Ukraine in the context of state regional policy, budget legislation, issues of preparation, assessment and selection of investment programs and regional development projects that can be implemented at the expense of the state regional development fund have been studied. It was emphasized that this is extremely important, especially given the fact that bringing the Ukrainian legal base to a proper state is the key to stable regional development. Emphasis is placed on the need to overcome conflicts between the provisions of the Model provisions on the regional commission for evaluation and preliminary competitive selection of investment programs and regional development projects, which can be implemented at the expense of the state fund for regional development, and the Order of the Ministry of community and territorial development of Ukraine «Issues of preparation, evaluation and the selection of investment programs and regional development projects that can be implemented at the expense of the funds of the state regional development fund». Based on the results of the research, conclusions were drawn. The provisions outlined in the work can be used by Ukrainian scientists in further scientific developments.

The aim of the article is to represent the results of the authors' scientific findings on the adaption of widely known in foreign scientific thought approach of "policy transfer" for evaluation of cooperation's efficiency between Ukraine and international organizations on regional development. Authors find out that the specific of the "policy transfer" approach is its constructive character. Changes in the system of regional policy of Ukraine are continuous and the process of management is still ongoing. The framework of regional development in Ukraine is still corrected, updated and advanced not based on the internal domestic factors or election programs of political parties as in other countries, but throughout external influence led by international organizations such as EU, OECD and UNDP. Practical aim of the publication is to provide arguments for the hypotheses of "policy transfer" as an approach that may be practically used for researching and describing of essence, features, results and efficiency of cooperation between Ukraine and international organizations in the sphere of regional development. Authors synthesize conclusions on how to use the "policy transfer" approach for evaluating the efficiency of Ukraine's cooperation with international organizations on regional development by providing a comparative analysis of previously made research by E. Ertugal on policy transfer in regional development in Turkey.

The Asymmetricity of Regional Development in Ukraine: in The Search of a Conceptual Framework of Explanation

The article considers the possibilities of applying the central-peripheral approach to the study of the regions' development in Ukraine. The nature and the direction of demographic and migration trends in Ukraine are analyzed by the authors. The content of such phenomenon as a centralization of human and economic resources, resulting in the displacement of regions to the periphery. It was defined that the center acts as an exploiter of key resources of the regions, depriving them from opportunities for their own development. The main social indicators were identified, the measurement of which allows to assess the applicability of the central-peripheral approach to the regional system of Ukraine. These include: the demographic development of regions, the nature and the direction of migration flows, the distribution of economic and political resources between regions. It was identified that the internal migration movement manifests itself in two main forms: educational and labor migration. Educational migration has quantitative and qualitative dimensions. Thus, the center concentrates not only the largest number of applicants, but also the most successful, which creates risks for the reproduction of the intellectual potential of the regions. The need of studying the dysfunctions of the metropolitan centers of Ukraine, which contribute to the double operation of the regions, was noted. It was proven that the periphery is points as a donor of human and other resources for the center, as well as other most powerful internal metropolises, such as Lviv, which is competed as a center. According to the results of the research the main directions of further scientific investigations are determined, namely: determination of criteria for assigning territories to semi-periphery and periphery zones, further study of peripheralization mechanisms, study of ways to overcome imbalances of Ukraine's development as a socio-territorial integrity, study of foreign experience, framework for explaining regional development.

ЕКОНОМЕТРИЧНІ ПІДХОДИ ДО ПРОГНОЗУВАННЯ ФІНАНСОВОГО ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ СОЦІАЛЬНО-ЕКОНОМІЧНОГО РОЗВИТКУ РЕГІОНУ

In the given article it is noted that the level of forecasting of processes of social development is determined by the efficiency of planning and management of economy and other spheres. Social and economic forecasting of basic trends of social development allows use of special calculation and logic methods, giving the opportunity to determine parameters of functioning of separate elements of productive forces in their interrelation and interdependence. At the current stage of regional development of the state, the forecasting of the management of social-economic processes in the region is urgent, and the need for their improvement in order to obtain effective tools for determining the main guidelines and directions of regional policy. Predictions that include scientific justification should be central to the planned decisions of state authorities and the implementation of social-economic policies in the region, to determine the main directions of its future development, place and role in the national economy. The process of forming a modern system of forecasting regional development in Ukraine took place under conditions of a large-scale state transformation and reorganization. The change in the political regime and reform of the Ukrainian economy, which began in the 1990s, led to the inversion of the role of the territory in the system of public administration. Regions that previously had very limited rights in the agricultural sector, received the right to make political, economic, social, cultural and other decisions on their own. Economic forecasting is necessary for determining ways of society development and economic resources which provide its achievement, for revealing most likely and economically efficient variants of long-term, medium term and current plans, grounding main directions of economic and technical politics, forecasting the consequences of the made decisions and measures taken at present. Application of econometric models in economics gives the opportunity to distinguish and formally describe the most significant, the most essential relations of economic variables and objects, as well as to get new knowledge about the object in the inductive way. In such model, in the simplified form, by many assumptions, the main dependence between economic indicators is determined.

THE FORMATION OF A SYSTEM OF INDICATORS TO ASSESS THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF INCLUSIVE TOURISM IN THE REGIONS OF UKRAINE

The purpose of the article is to determine the procedures for the formation of a modern system of indicators to assess the socio-economic development of inclusive tourism in different regions of Ukraine. This approach will determine the concept of development of the administrative and territorial unit of any country. Methodology. Formation of the methodological basis of the article is associated with the author's research and practically-adapted approbation of the results of these studies. Results. As a result of the formation of a methodological basis for the development of inclusive tourism in the system of socioeconomic relations at the regional level, a mechanism (model) for using the integral index as an indicator of the economic feasibility of using it in the system of regional management and economic development is proposed. The types of indicators of economic efficiency of the introduction of inclusive tourism and types of effects from the activities of inclusive tourism are defined, the methods of assessment of inclusive tourism as an innovative project, the method of determining the integral indicator of inclusive rehabilitation of people, taking into account the natural resource and recreational and tourist indicators are proposed for consideration. Practical implications. Given the relevance of the topic related to inclusive tourism, we see rational to evaluate the development and implementation of this innovative direction in the socio-economic system of regional development of Ukraine, which can serve as a model for adapting it to the administrative and territorial units of other countries. Value/originality. The development of the integral indicator of inclusive rehabilitation of people is the author's development, which is being practically tested and in the near future will become a universal methodology in working with people with inclusion and inclusive tourists in particular. For implementation in the socio-economic system of regional development, such innovative direction as inclusive tourism will allow to cover additional population groups (the poor, pensioners, people with disabilities, large families and others) in the provision of a variety of tourist services. Given the multifunctionality of the tourism sector and its economic potential, the introduction of inclusive tourism will help to stabilize or improve the overall economic situation in the regions of Ukraine.

Application Analysis of Key Macroeconomic Indicators in Terms of Regional Disparity

The purpose of the article is to study the causal links of the existence of disparities in the socio-economic development of the country's regions and identify key measures to overcome existing disparities in certain areas, taking into account systemic transformations in the modern economy. The main disparities in the regional development of Ukraine are considered and the criteria of regional disparities are defined. It is established that the largest disparities in regional development occur according to the indicators observed in the case of investment per capita. The regions-leaders and outsiders in terms of socio-economic development are selected according to the selected indicators.The division of regions of Ukraine is carried out by means of the cluster analysis. The regions are divided into groups with similar characteristics for the four analyzed macroeconomic variables. The distances between the clusters were expressed using the Euclidean distance, which is widely used in this type of analysis. To combine objects into groups, Ward's method was used to create clusters with a small number of objects.After the analysis, the following conclusions were made: across the country, the regions are characterized by large differences in the level of GRP per capita, capital investment per capita and unemployment, with smaller differences in income levels; an unfavourable phenomenon is the reduction of investment in the southern regions, which in fact leads to low economic growth and future trends; the condition for reducing regional disparities is overcoming barriers to the development of less developed regions, which may occur primarily through the consistent strengthening of their economy, improving the structure and more efficient use of investment resources aimed specifically at strengthening entrepreneurship and professional development.
