INCLUSIVE GOVERNANCE OF RURAL-URBAN AGGLOMERATIONS OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article formulates and solves an actual scientific and practical problem related to the justification of the model of inclusive governance of united territorial communities (UTCs) and districts identified as rural-urban agglomerations. Taking into account the purpose of the research,formulated of task regarding the task of determining the essence of good governance, the characteristics of inclusive governance as a system built on certain principles, and clarifying the conditions for the formation of a society in Ukraine that functions on the basis of inclusiveness. In the process of working on the chosen topic, modern scientific publications of Ukrainian and foreign economists, sociologists, political scientists, geographers, lawyers, public administration specialists on issues of inclusive governance were analyzed. Creative use of systemic and institutional approaches, the principle of interdisciplinarity, methods of observation, comparison, abstraction, generalization, reflection, extrapolation, synthesis and analysis, deduction and induction contributed to the achievement of the research goal. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the extrapolation of the scientifically described model of inclusive governance of local socio-spatial formations to the national space in order to determine the conditions for the formation of an inclusive society. The conceptual basis of the model of inclusive governance is a systemic view of the essence of the phenomenon of governance as a way of using public power and implementing public policy for the purpose of organizing and streamlining the process of formation within rural-urban agglomerations of inclusion. It is proved that the institutional and organizational-administrative basis of the inclusive governance of these socio-spatial entities are the principles of democracy, organization and decentralization, and its economic, political and worldview foundations are economic growth, state capacity, self-governance and people-centeredness. It has been established, that the creation of a democratic decentralized space due to the inclusiveness of the administrative-territorial units of the basic and district levels of the administrative-territorial system of Ukraine with proper governance through the involvement, inclusion and unification of all layers of the population around the idea of post-war reconstruction of the country, is the key to the formation of an inclusive society. The practical significance of the research results lies in the conceptual support of post-war reconstruction tasks on an inclusive basis of the territories affected by the military attack of the neighboring aggressor country.
