Strategic planning of socio-economic development is one of the most important state functions. In advanced countries, the modern state represents the interests of the whole society with all its social and age strata. Its actions rely on forecasting the trends in national and global development. The state defines national interests, goals, and development priorities to implement them through strategic plans, programs, projects, and development institutions. The mainstream economic thought does not justify the state intervention into the market. However, the modern practice of public administration has proven the need for strategic planning of socio-economic development as a prerequisite for successful economic growth. The research objective was to identify the methodological foundations of effective strategic planning. It relied on such traditional methods of scientific research as analysis, synthesis, generalization, and comparison. Despite the poor representation of the topic in scientific journals, the author formulated methodological recommendations that can be applied in practice when adjusting public policy.

ANALYSIS OF THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO IMPROVING THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF UKRAINE

The article summarizes scientific and methodological principles of strategic planning of socio-economic development at the regional level in Ukraine. The main goal of strategic planning of regional development is determined and the main stages of developing a system of regional economic development forecasts are considered. The process of developing a strategic plan for socio-economic development of the region is analyzed, and the factors influencing the process of developing this strategy are also considered. The purpose of the article is the formation of theoretical and methodological foundations of strategic planning of regional development based on the analysis and theoretical generalization of methodological tools on the problem of research, development practice and the content of regional development strategies in Ukraine.
 Methodological foundations and legal basis of strategic planning are revealed both in the research of scientists and in the works and documents of Ukrainian and international experts. In the theory of strategic planning, general characteristics and tools for the implementation of this process are determined at various levels: the national level, individual territorial administrative units, and enterprises. Among the latest publications on the issues of this research, monographs by V. Vartsaba, N. Smentin, and scientific articles by O. Shevchenko, S. Ivanov, A. Chernykhivska, and others should be noted.
 International experience and practical foundations of strategic planning of regional development are outlined in the latest publications of the UN Development Program, as well as confirmed by experts of international projects and programs to promote local development in Ukraine.
 Practical implications: The author has justified the need to include budgeting in the system of methods of strategic economic analysis and developed an algorithm for methodical economic analysis of the activity of a commercial organization.
 Originality: As a result of using the methodological foundations of strategic economic analysis, a scheme of correspondence of methods to the stages of its organization has been developed.
 Conclusions: The author has highlighted traditional (statistical), economic-mathematical and special techniques in the system of methods of strategic economic analysis, emphasized the relevance of the toolkit of strategic economic analysis for a commercial organization operating in modern economic conditions, and also emphasized the prospects for development in the field of improvement and expansion of the methodological base of this direction.
 The quality of strategic planning of the socio-economic development of the region largely depends on the scientific and methodological support of this process. To ensure the expediency of strategic planning and to achieve a cumulative positive effect from the implementation of the developed strategy, it is necessary to combine the efforts of the management and administrative- financial, production and scientific-technical spheres, to involve the fullness and optimization of the natural, human, scientific-technological and innovative potential of the region. The main tasks and priorities of regional development at the current stage are overcoming crisis phenomena in socio-economic fields and increasing the pace of economic recovery.

Building a Model for Forecasting the Exchange Rate on the Long-term and Short-term Horizons

Forecasting the ruble exchange dynamics appears objectively necessary for shaping both the medium-term financial strategy of industry corporations and the general strategic course for occupying leading positions in sectors of business interest, including through the use of new financial instruments, new markets and, in general, a system of strategic planning of socio-economic development of Russia. However, in today's realities, according to most experts, with whom we cannot but agree, the task of forecasting seems extremely difficult and appears complicated by the fact that the launched crises are unpredictable and are characterized by a diverse nature (pandemic and geopolitical crises, expansion of trade wars and sanctions). In such conditions, when uncertainty grows excessively, it is important to turn to the accumulated experience: to analyze to what extent the available models can be suitable for prospective assessments in the current environment.

Optimization of the Mechanism for Strategic Planning of Socio-Economic Development of the North Caucasus Federal District

Determining the path of socio-economic development in the context of total progress requires a comprehensive analysis of the features of the development of Russian regions, taking into account political, economic, social, environmental and other priorities and goals of sustainable development. The role of methodological support for the formation and implementation of the strategic development of the region as a socio-economic system is growing. Partially, such methodological support has been formed, however, problems and disproportions in the field of managing regional strategic development remain. The program of social and economic development of the North Caucasus, which has been implemented in recent years, has not brought tangible results. One of the most important problems is recognized as the problem of the quality of planning the socio-economic development of the territory, which does not provide the goal of overcoming the chronic backlog of the economy and the social sphere. According to the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, the estimates obtained indicate problems in organizing the activities of development institutions. The current mechanism of strategic planning for the socio-economic development of the North Caucasus Federal District as a priority geostrategic macro-region of Russia requires a revision of the fundamental aspects of the development and implementation of documents and emerging institutions, the demand for special mechanisms of state support.

Цифровая зеленая экономика как предмет стратегического планирования: шанс для депрессивных отдаленных территорий

The relevance of the study of the green economy in the context of strategic planning of socio-economic development of territories is due to the fact that it is this model of management that most closely corresponds to the global trend, which consists in emphasizing sustainable development, as well as the task of improving the quality of life of the population. The subject of the research of this article is the development of the green economy within the framework of the implementation of the strategy of socio—economic development of the territory on the example of the strategy of the Mostovsky district of the Krasnodar Territory. The aim of the work is to conceptualize the digital green economy as a recommended paradigm for the development of remote depressive territories with rich natural resources and sufficient social potential. It is established that the management model in the context of the implementation of the global agenda for sustainable development, decarbonization and the use of renewable resources should be not so much green, i.e. taking into account environmental constraints, as economical, based on profit, the balance of various resources and meeting the needs of economic agents. Reliance on modern digital technologies, which are both nature-saving and providing a deep level of technological conversion of products, is considered as the most important driver of the development of the green economy. It is proved that without the digital component, today's green economy cannot function normally and is rolling back to the level of development of pre-industrial societies. Therefore, the possibilities of the digital economy are linked to the effect on the environment and the expected economic result. The conditions and factors determining the need for the implementation of a green economy model in the research area are determined, as a resource for the development of which a remote geographical location, as well as elements of natural resource potential are considered. The role of the potential of social groups of the population, primarily local entrepreneurs and downshifters, in the development of the green economy is shown. Conclusions are drawn about the need for multifaceted active state participation in the formation of a digital green economy, as well as that such a management model can become an effective recipe for overcoming the depressive state of remote rural areas with rich natural potential.

Построение модели прогноза курса валют на долгосрочном и краткосрочном горизонтах

Methodological approaches to assessing the implementation of state programs to achieve the priorities of the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation № 633 dated November 8, 2021 among the main directions of state policy in this area, determines the scientific and methodological support for strategic planning of socio-economic development and ensuring national security [2]. Currently, the minimum necessary regulatory and legal framework has been formed for the preparation and implementation of state programs of the Russian Federation. The named Presidential Decree established the architecture of strategic planning documents. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation № 786 of May, 26, 2021 regulates the general rules for the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of state programs of the Russian Federation [4]; Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation № 903 of July 17, 2019 approved uniform rules for the formation of a Consolidated Annual Report on the progress of implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of state programs of the Russian Federation [3]. At the same time, there are gaps in the regulatory support for the preparation and implementation of state programs that do not allow us to correctly assess the quality of state programs, which primarily means (but is not limited to) their impact on achieving long-term priorities of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation. Earlier, the authors outlined the main methodological approaches to assessing the quality of government programs, the algorithm and tools for conducting an assessment, and also published the main results of testing the recommended assessment model [7, 8]. This article develops the author's ideas of qualitative analysis of the links between the goals and indicators (target block) of state programs of the Russian Federation with the priorities of socio-economic development of the country and offers quantitative methods of their assessment. In general, a series of articles by the authors describes a "line" of models that allow a comprehensive quantitative assessment of the qualitative characteristics of state programs of the Russian Federation.

Перспективи потенціалу підземного вуглевидобутку у повоєнному зміцненні обороноздатності держави

In the article, on the example of the coal industry of Ukraine, internal reserves of indirect, mediated action on strengthening the defense capability of the state are considered. On the basis of the conceptual provisions of the structural-reproductive approach to the definition of the composite assets of mines, certain elements of the investment mechanism for conducting mining and preparation works for underground coal mining are substantiated. Proposals for the use of mine workings and underground structures of mines as warehouses or production workshops of the military-industrial complex are presented. The article reveals the essence, content and components of the potential of the state's defense capability in the parameters of the socio-economic space of Ukraine. It is emphasized that it is the level, standards and quality of life of the population of the country that determine and determine the ability of the state to protect itself from external armed aggression in the event of an internal armed conflict. The methodological provisions of the reference matrix of the index model of strategic planning and design of the state's defense potential in the parameters of the socio-economic space of Ukraine are outlined. They are based on new principles of strategic planning of socio-economic development and new principles of state creation.

Strategic Planning of People-Centered Socio-Economic Development of Khmelnytskyi Region

Evaluation of the quality of state programs: the outcomes of testing of a multi-criteria model (results, problems, opportunities)

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation № 633 dated November 8, 2021 «On approval of the Fundamentals of State Policy in the field of strategic planning in the Russian Federation» among the main directions of state policy in this area, scientific and methodological support for strategic planning of socio-economic development and ensuring national security is defined [3]. Within the framework of this direction, a multi-criteria model for assessing the quality of state programs of the Russian Federation has been developed and passed initial testing. New methodological approaches have been transformed into an algorithm and assessment tools, brought to the level of draft Guidelines and tested on the example of several government programs of various formats and areas of implementation. The model includes the author's conceptual apparatus, parameters and evaluation criteria, a regulated sequence of evaluation procedures (algorithm), specific tools, a specially developed tabular format for obtaining and issuing evaluation results. The principal features of the multicriteria model were described earlier [11]. This article presents the first practical results of assessing the quality of individual state programs of the Russian Federation based on the developed model. The obtained results, in turn, can be used for further improvement of the model.

Корреляционно-регрессионный анализ в системе инструментов стратегического планирования социально-экономического развития региона

To date, the Russian Federation has created and is actively developing a system of strategic planning of socio-economic development, including subjects, objects, strategic documents, tools, regulatory and methodological framework, as well as a number of other elements. Despite the institutional formation, there are still quite a few problems in this system, especially at the regional level. The subjects of the Russian Federation have strategic documents at their level, the purpose of which is the socio-economic development of the region. Despite this, the quality of strategic documents is not always at a high level. First of all, the quality of strategic documents is influenced by a set of tools that allow you to achieve your goals and objectives. Within the framework of this study, a method of correlation and regression analysis is proposed in the system of strategic planning tools at the stage of determining priority areas.

STRATEGIC PLANNING OF THE UNITARY STATE IN CONDITIONS OF DECENTRALIZED BUDGETING

The purpose of the article is to deepen the scientific foundations of strategic planning using the provisions of the theory of purposeful reproduction and the principles of systematic methodology. In modern conditions in Ukraine there is an increase in financial self-sufficiency of regions with a simultaneous increase in social responsibility of the Center and Regions for the achievement of balanced and sustainable socio-economic development at different levels of management. The main objectives of the study were as follows: clarification of challenges and problems of strategic planning; disclosure of the essence and content of strategic planning in a unitary state; system classification of purposeful reproduction processes at different levels of management; rationale for the limits of budgetary centralism with budgetary federalism in the harmonious proportions of the "golden section"; defining the powers of Central and Regional authorities in the strategic planning of a sovereign state. The research methodology was based on the following methods: historical, dialectical, structural and functional, system analysis and synthesis, hypothetic and deductive, and logical modeling. The subject of the research is the scientific and methodological support of the justification of strategic objectives, priorities and indicators for planning long-term socio-economic development at the national and regional levels of management in terms of decentralized budgeting. The powers of the Central and Regional executive bodies are based on the provisions and principles of state formation on the basis of coordinated and synchronous interaction of purposeful reproductive processes. The execution of strategic planning processes and procedures by the Center and Regions under decentralized budgeting conditions determines those components of the development of a sovereign, independent, legal, social and unitary state, which are regulated by the volume and structure of the Consolidated State Budget. The establishment of proportions between the state and local budgets of Ukraine within the framework of the Consolidated Budget of the unitary state was carried out using the harmonious proportions of the "Golden Section", which ensures the balanced and systematic functioning of the Center and Regions as a dialectically separated unity. Conclusions. The main result of the study is a methodological approach to determining the competence of the Center and Regions in the strategic planning of socio-economic development on the basis of achieving coherence and synchrony of purposeful reproductive processes of different scales of market economy of the unitary Ukrainian state. The results of the study formed the basis of the scientific paradigm "Stable and sustainable socio-economic development for the Ukrainian people". Implementation. The methodological approach to the strategy of Regions and the Center for socio-economic development of the administrative region and the state as a whole was developed by the Khmelnytskyi Regional State Administration in 2015–2016. Strategic goals and priorities of socio-economic development of Luhansk and Donetsk regions were defined for 2014–2020 as an alternative to the Antiterrorist Operation (ATO), which was conducted from February to August 2014 in the Ukrainian Donbass.

Impacts of the Policy "Khu Tru Mat" on Residential Space of Vi Thanh - Hoa Luu (1960 – 1963)

Khu Tru Mat is one of the important rural policies issued by the Government of the Republic of Vietnam (1955 - 1963). Through this policy, Khu Tru Mat was established in many strategically located areas in the Mekong Delta. Accordingly, the Vi Thanh - Hoa Luu area was both an important intersection in the transport connection system and a strategic political-military position of the Government of the Republic of Vietnam in the Mekong Delta. Therefore, the implementation of the Khu Tru Mat policy in the Vi Thanh - Hoa Luu area was not only the goal of building a strategic political and military area of the Government of the Republic of Vietnam but also had a great impact on the rural face here. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impacts of the Khu Tru Mat policy on the spatial change of residential areas in the rural areas of Vi Thanh - Hoa Luu by exploiting the values from the data source at Vietnam's National Archives in Ho Chi Minh city. The research results not only provide important references but also orient some historical experiences for contributing to the strategic planning of socio-economic development in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam today.

Методологические проблемы взаимосвязи документов стратегического планирования федерального уровня, разрабатываемых в рамках целеполагания по отраслевому и территориальному принципам (часть 2)

The analysis of methodological problems of interrelation of the documents of strategic planning of the federal level, developed within the framework of goal-setting according to the sectoral and territorial principles, is directly linked to the issues of settlement. The article considers the norms of the corpus of federal regulatory legal acts adopted within the framework of goal-setting in the process of strategic planning of socio-economic development of territories, which includes the provisions of the norms of the Strategy of Socio-economic Development of the Russian Federation, Federal Law No. 172 “On Strategic Planning”, the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation, the Resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation related to the role of local self-government bodies in the implementation of the settlement policy as a factor of socio-economic development of territories. The specifics of the federal policy of territorial development of the regions, which is based on the participation of not only the federal center, but also the state bodies of the regional level of the vertical of power, are revealed. It is argued that the existing “vertical” of public administration does not include an imperative function in relation to the local authorities, which are not assigned the responsibility of developing strategies for the socio-economic development of the municipality. It is determined that, in methodological terms, such consequences should include the need to differentiate measures of state support for municipal territorial entities, regional typologization of settlements when considering budget and urban development policies. The problems related to the legal nature of the federal district in relation to the nature and powers in the field of strategic planning of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are identified. It is argued that the factors influencing the processes of formation and implementation of the state policy of regional development and directly related to the issues of strategic planning include not only the features of the federal structure, geo-political, geo-deterministic, socio-cultural factors, but also a significant difference in the levels of regional socio-economic development and territorial population.
