CONSTRUCTION OF PROGNOSTIC MODELS OF THE MECHANISM OF THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF UNITED TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES

Abstract

Objective. The article is devoted to the study of the mechanism of public participation in managing the development of united territorial communities, as an important factor for supporting democracy, ensuring quality decision-making, strengthening civil society and fighting corruption. Public participation in governance is an important component of a democratic society, so researching the current state of this participation is an important task. Results. The problems of the existing mechanisms of public participation in managing the development of united territorial communities are outlined: insufficient education and awareness, lack of access to information, limited access to participation, weak communication between the public and authorities. Practical significance. It was determined that in order to choose the mechanism of community participation in the management of the development of the united territorial community, the presence of aggregate factors should be taken into account – the type of united communities (rural, settlement, urban), geographical location of communities (mountainous terrain, low population density of territories), availability of specialists, infrastructure development, etc. It has been established that the success of the chosen mechanism for the development of the united territorial community can be predicted by applying the method of mathematical modeling, which allows taking into account the features of the community. To do this, we developed a system of key indicators of influence on the management strategy of the united territorial community through an expert survey of representatives of authorities, public organizations, entrepreneurs, local assets of the Buchansk community, developed a system of key indicators of influence on the management strategy and collected information on key factors of influence through personal interview. On the basis of the formed database of interviewed citizens, the relationships between the indicator of the management strategy of the united territorial community and the main factors that determine it have been established. At the next stage, factor variables were selected and prognostic models of the probability of increasing the success rate of the chosen management strategy of the united territorial community were built.
