ПРЕДПОСЫЛКИ РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ПОТЕНЦИАЛА СОЦИАЛЬНОЙ АКТИВНОСТИ СЕЛЬСКИХ ЖИТЕЛЕЙ В СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ФОРМАХ ГРАЖДАНСКОГО УЧАСТИЯ

The article examines the features of social activity of various groups of the rural population as well as the possibilities of its expansion. The study substantiates the value and semantic conditionality of civil participation, reveals the degree of readiness to unite with other people to achieve significant goals, and identifies the motives of their participation in various types of public activities. A separate area of the research was devoted to analysing perceptions of various groups of villagers about the state and prospects of interaction with local authorities, as well as their views on the incentives for the development of civic activity in the localities. The results of an applied sociological study conducted by the Institute of Agrarian Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2023 in rural areas of the Saratov region (N = 1210) served as the information basis for the current research. The results of the study indicate the differentiation of the potential for expanding social activity of different social groups of the rural population. The greatest activity is demonstrated by workers in budgetary sectors (teachers, doctors/paramedics, settlement administration workers); the potential of unemployed women involved in housework and raising children remains unrealized. The lowest rates are observed for agricultural workers, pensioners and rural residents who are not engaged in paid employment. The authors put forward proposals on further expansion of practices and mechanisms of interaction between local self-government bodies and the local community, stimulation of public private partnerships and active involvement of local residents in solving problems of rural livelihood.

ОБ'ЄКТ ГРОМАДСЬКОГО КОНТРОЛЮ (НАГЛЯДУ) ЯК ЕЛЕМЕНТ ДЕМОКРАТИЧНОГО ЦИВІЛЬНОГО КОНТРОЛЮ

The purpose of the article is to define the concept and features of the object of public control (supervision) as an element of democratic civil control. The rationale is given that the emergence of democratic civilian control over the security and defense sector was due to the growth of social responsibility of members of society for the state of affairs in the state, combined with the development of mechanisms for ensuring human and civil rights. Attention is focused on the fact that the activity of public control (supervision) in the security and defense sector is constantly increasing, which makes it possible to predict the achievement of greater order and structure by this type of public activity. The article determines that the understanding of the object of control in domestic legal science traditionally covers three main approaches. According to the first of them, the object is a set of bodies and officials who are entrusted with the obligation to carry out a set of actions related to their openness and the need to report to other entities for which they are controlled. The second approach is associated with the recognition of the object of control of the activities or behavior of certain bodies or officials. The third approach, much broader in content, suggests that the object of control is more abstract categories – public goods. The concept is formulated as an object of public control (supervision) as an element of democratic civil control. The definition is proposed: the object of public control (supervision) is a set of public goods of a non-patronage nature, arising from the activity of members of civil society and consisting in the protection of the rights, freedoms and interests of individuals and legal entities, reducing the level of corruption risks and the effective rational use of budgetary funds in the security sector and defense. The article substantiates that the non-patronage nature of public control (supervision) means that the source of benefits is not the state, but civil society. The argument is given that public control (supervision) extends to the protection of the rights, freedoms and interests of not only civilians, but military personnel. The article determines that the subject of public control (supervision) is that part of the object that can be of a specific nature and can be analyzed, measured, compared, etc.

Public Policy in the Sphere of Activity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine: Approaches to Determining the Essence and Content

The aim of the article is to define a modern interpretation of the categories "public policy" and "the sphere of activity of bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs", as well as the essence and content of public policy of Ukraine in this field. To achieve this goal, general scientific and special methods of cognition are used, namely: methods of analysis, synthesis, structural and functional, hermeneutics, comparison, special legal and some others. It is emphasized that public policy should be considered in two notions: 1) as the established course (state) of development of the State and society; 2) as a type of public activity (process) regarding the formulation of public policy (political process) and its implementation (executive activity). The focus of the study is on the social relations that arise in the course of activities of the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are relatively close, similar, and related in their nature. Therefore, objectively existing link between these social relations and their specificity require the integration of these relations into one domain. In the current context, public policy in the sphere of activity of bodies of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is proposed to consider as the purposeful and organizational activity of specially authorized public bodies and representatives of civil society in determining strategic goals, targets, forms and means of their achievement in the field of law enforcement activity. It should be emphasized that this law-enforcement activity is directly related to providing improvement of safe living environment as a basis for internal security in Ukraine, the formation of a modern system of internal security as a deterrent to the aggressor country, as well as the implementation of effective integrated border management and balanced migration policy in Ukraine.

비영리민간단체의 공익활동 지원사업 효율성분석

Abstract This study suggests consulting directions for non-profit private organizations which were found to be inefficient in the efficiency analysis for the public activities support projects on those organizations performed by the Korean government. An ANOVA analysis on seven types of public activities support projects showed that there were differences among those types. By applying CCB-I, BCC-I, Super efficiency models among DEA, performance efficiencies were analyzed. Four input elements (age of the organization, supported amount, number of members, and the number of workers) and three output elements (project scores, financial scores, and comprehensive scores) were analyzed, and high efficient organizations were found as benchmarking objects, and, through super efficiency analysis, those objects were classified into short, mid, and long-term objects. Through such methods, this research provided organizations with the best information on other organizations to learn from and improve themselves.

Planning Discourse versus Land Discourse: The 2009–12 Reforms in Land‐Use Planning Policy and Land Policy in Israel

AbstractLand policy and land‐use planning policy are two types of public policy pertaining to space. In general, land‐use planning policy deals with land‐use allocation and property rights, whereas land policy defines the land regime of a society. These differences have shaped a unique discourse for each of these policy types. The purpose of this article is to examine the differences and similarities between the land discourse and the planning discourse by analyzing two public campaigns conducted in Israel against two proposed reforms: the 2009 reform of the Israel Land Administration and the 2010–12 reform of the Planning and Building Law. The findings reveal substantive differences between the two campaigns, manifested in the nature of the leading players, the types of public activities they chose, and most notably in the discourses and the hierarchy of considerations they addressed. The findings raise profound questions regarding universal trends in spatial policy reforms; their influence on the activities of public coalitions and the discourses they adopted; possible future effects of these trends on the differences between the land discourse and the planning discourse; and the impact of these trends on the ability of groups and individuals elsewhere to influence spatial policies (such as planning and land policies).
