FISCAL AND REGULATORY ROLE OF INDIRECT TAXES IN UKRAINE

The article analyzes the fiscal and regulatory role of indirect taxes in Ukraine. The advantages and disadvantages of indirect taxes in Ukraine are identified. The revenues from indirect taxes in the structure of the consolidated budget of Ukraine for 2017-2022 are analyzed. The directions for increasing the level of fiscal efficiency of indirect taxes are highlighted. The regulatory role of indirect taxes for the state budget of Ukraine is determined. Thus, the fiscal significance of indirect taxes has become less due to the economic, social and political changes that have taken place in the country. To increase their fiscal potential, measures such as stimulating domestic consumption, improving the system of control over the circulation of goods, strengthening customs control and effective implementation of anti-crisis measures can be considered. The regulatory function of indirect taxes is of primary importance in terms of its impact on the national economy. Tax regulation is a set of measures aimed at government intervention in the market economy in accordance with the concept of development. The fiscal potential of indirect taxes depends on several factors, such as the state of the economy, employment, income, and others. The greater the economic activity and spending of the population, the greater the opportunity for the state to collect revenue from indirect taxes. Indirect taxes are an effective tool for managing the economy and ensuring sustainable development of the country. However, to improve the efficiency of their use and increase revenues from indirect taxes, it is necessary to constantly improve the taxation system, direct revenues to the development of social infrastructure and support for business activities. The analysis of the fiscal and regulatory role of indirect taxes in Ukraine shows that these taxes play an important role in generating budget revenues and regulating economic processes in the country.

دور الاتصال والتواصل في مدن التوابع المعلوماتية

This research attempts to trace the most significant development caused by the information revolution, namely "the Communication Technology" which reduced the distances between different urban communities, or within a single one, eliminated the geographical boundaries and the transformed the world into a global village. This led to the emergence of new forms and bodies to those urban communities; perhaps the most important is the fragmentation of the major cities and the emergence of (Satellite Cities) with global links, rather than hinterlands to the local capital cities as in the past. But in spite of the technological tide of communications and its inevitable impacts, it stays, with all its possibilities, a reaction that occurs only in one direction and within the limits of no more than sending and receiving nothing more. This is what Arab cities had seen in the recent stages of their change.Here arises the problem of the emergence of the communication act as a "Dogmatic" because the whole world revolved around the communications network ... Which in turn became the heart of the system of this era. In light of this problem, this research has sought to find the act parallel if not alternative that will fold the " Communication " between its wings, making it, the stage of the process of response and interaction surpassing the limits of sending and receiving. In other words the transition fromimporting technology to the process of contributing to its production. This only takes place through the investment of the Communications Technology to achieve that which is the highest and noblest, posed in this research by the "Communicativeness" between communities. To achieve this goal it took the building of the theoretical framework, in the light of which we put forward the hypothesis of the research that reads (Communication in its technological dimension and Communicativeness in its social dimension, both, play a role in the formulation of Satellite Cities of the twenty-first century through their essential impact on the physical, social and economic infrastructure development of those cities). The research, then, sought to test the validity of this hypothesis and draw conclusions and recommendations.

Social and economic infrastructure and socio-economic development: an empirical analysis

DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIAL FACTORS OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE: TRENDS IN CHANGE

The article examines the key demographic trends and dynamics of social infrastructure development in rural areas of Ukraine in historical retrospect (1959-2021). The regional specificity of rural population depopulation is determined with an emphasis on sex and age structure transformations, and the regions are grouped by the nature of changes in rural fertility and mortality.

The novelty of the study is the analysis of the long-term depopulation demographic trend, as well as changes in the development of social infrastructure in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, with the presentation of examples of mapping schemes illustrating these processes.

Transitioning to Smart Cities in Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: The Role of Leadership and Organisational Culture

The concept of Society 5.0, first introduced by Japan in 2016, has become a widely accepted model for the development of social infrastructures across the world. It is a model which is expected to take root globally over the next few years. It is also a model which has smart cities, which are connected and inclusive, at its core. The role of open data is critical to smart cities, and the ability to design and implement strategies for its use is a crucial element in their growth and success. This requires a leadership and organisational culture that embraces the concept of open government data (OGD) and understands its key role in the development of smart cities. In this paper, we examine how the leadership and organisational culture in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries has impacted the progress of OGD initiatives and, therefore, the transition to smart cities. This is approached via a re-analysis of data from an earlier study in which semi-structured interviews were used to understand the views and attitudes of a range of senior government department personnel in OGD-related roles, where here a new thematic analysis seeks to identify clearer pointers to attitudes and practices directly relating to smart cities and Society 5.0. The focus on internal factors, such as leadership attitudes and organisational culture, as opposed to external factors, such as technology and resources, differentiates this research from previous studies and adds to our current knowledge. The findings lead to a discussion that identifies a likely gap in the leadership provided by more senior figures. A pilot study of a group of these leaders suggests a generalised problem with communication of policy, objectives and strategies, which is crucial to overcoming cultural impediments to smart city development. While further research is required, a need clearly emerges for significant changes in attitude and application at senior managerial and leadership levels if strategic goals are to be achieved. The paper also makes a number of specific recommendations for activities that could improve progress and indicate areas where more research would be beneficial.

Mobility and transport infrastructure in Mumbai Metropolitan Region: growth, exclusion and modal choices

ABSTRACT Social and physical infrastructure development needs to catch up to population growth in cities of the Global South. The infrastructures are emerging in piecemeal ways following demand, be it housing, water supply, electricity, financial, educational, health or transport services. Indian cities are typical examples of this and can be called archetypes of the problem. This paper finds that transport infrastructure development in Mumbai Metropolitan Region has not kept pace with the demand. Notwithstanding recent developments, urban mobility in the region is characterised by traffic jams, delays and a lack of integrated and inclusionary transport systems, adversely affecting the economic efficiency of the region through loss of labour time, delays in deliveries of goods and services, environmental pollution and health costs.

Mechanisms for social infrastructure development of the rural areas of Kazakhstan for the improvement of demographic situation

Despite the presence of favorable conditions for successful farming, the pace of the ongoing process of migration of rural residents to large cities of the republic is not decreasing. The relevance of the research topic is explained by the need to identify the causes of this paradox in Kazakhstan and create a set of necessary measures to eliminate them. The severity of this problem is also aggravated by the insufficient degree of implementation of state measures to develop the social infrastructure of rural areas. The purpose of the study is to analyze indicators of the level of economic development and the level of provision with social infrastructure that affect the demographic situation in rural settlements. The research methodology uses a systematic approach to the study of indicators characterizing the well-being of the rural population, the quality of life and the evaluation of the effectiveness of programs aimed at improving the rural economy. The issues of analyzing the current state of rural settlements in Kazakhstan in order to take the necessary state measures in the direction of improving the infrastructure of rural settlements are considered. The analysis of state programs for the development of agriculture in Kazakhstan allows us to identify the types of problems that arise in the socio-economic development of rural areas. It is recommended to develop new ways to solve problems in the development of rural areas through the use of innovative methods to stimulate the rural population to increase effective employment, the development of mass entrepreneurship in villages.

SOCIAL FACILITIES: RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS AND DIRECTIONS OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT

The purpose of the study is to determine the importance of social infrastructure for a modern city and to identify ways of its urban development (on the example of the city of Moscow).
