Because the methodology for studying the socio-economic development of cross-border territories is still poorly developed in the Ukrainian science, this study aims to highlight its theoretical essence and justify the need for statistical monitoring and identification of practical problems related with its applications at personal, institutional and regional level.   Given the global market competition, the socio-economic development of cross-border territories is impossible without creating favorable financial, institutional and infrastructure environment. The socio-economic development of cross-border territories is determined by a set of indicators reflecting the capabilities of territories located on both sides of the border to produce a certain output of goods and services using the available human and material resources.    The importance of cross-border statistics grows with the expansion of cross-border cooperation. Cross-border statistics refers to the generalized information on the socio-economic development of cross-border territories; it has to support the CBC-related operation of central and local administration bodies and private entities in border regions, aimed at expanding business partnerships and meeting public needs on border territories. The source of data for cross-border statistics is the statistics of border regions. The analysis shows that trial decisions used now in the Ukrainian statistics system for testing border region statistics, such as statistics of tourism, including travels abroad, are not capable to meet information needs of the regional development policy, foreign trade statistics and statistics of internal and external migration. The statistics of cross-border regions has to face the following challenges:  improve the comparability of statistical indicators by harmonizing statistical surveys’ methodology, terminology, definitions and classifications; expand and improve printing and publishing activities; develop analytical work; introduce and develop cross-border surveys; construct on-line cross-border database.

In the article, a comparative interregional and cross-border assessment of socio-economic development of the Transcarpathian region is conducted. The results of the study are based on an analysis of the level and dynamics of such key indicators of economic and social development of the region as GRP per capita, employment rate, unemployment rate, average monthly salary, etc. According to the results of interregional comparisons, the low level of efficiency of the economy but the positive dynamics of some indicators of the labor market of the Transcarpathian region was revealed. In particular, among the regions of Ukraine in 2013-2017, the region was 22nd in terms of GRP per capita and 19th in terms of employment. At the same time, by unemployment, it rose from 15th in 2013 to 10th in 2018, and the average monthly wage ranged from 20th to 7th, respectively. Cross-border comparisons showed a significant lag behind the Transcarpathian region from the neighboring regions of Poland, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary for all considered socio-economic indicators. Thus, in particular, according to the indicator of GRP per capita, this lag compared to the Kosice region (Slovakia) in 2017 was 11.4 times. The average monthly salary in Transcarpathian region is 4 times lower than in the neighboring Kosice and Presov regions of Slovakia and the Podkarpackie voivodship of Poland. The positive dynamics in the direction of reducing the above-mentioned gaps in the level of socio-economic development of the analyzed regions in 2017-2018 are revealed. In addition, a regional peculiarity has been identified – the Transcarpathian region and the regions it borders, lag substantially behind the countries they belong to by the level of socio-economic development. As a result, the conclusion is drawn that the results of the conducted inter-regional and transboundary assessment of the socio-economic development of the Transcarpathian region will facilitate the development of inter-regional and interstate programs and strategies for the development of the Carpathian transboundary region to eliminate the identified imbalances.

Topicality. The urgency is explained by the need of use of taxation regulatory leverage for stimulation of territorial communities cooperation, as well as the development of scientifically substantiated grounds for the economic cooperation of regional economic systems is to be developed in order to increase their socio-economic development and on the basis of improving of the institutional basis in favorable conditions for local self-government reform and inclusion of local systems globalization processes. In the process of active decentralization reform, realization of efforts to build effective local selfgovernance and achieve the development of territorial economic systems on the basis of European integration and the implementation of international best practices and trends, it is necessary to regulate the use of cooperation measures. The practice of applying of contractual forms of cooperation between administrative units in order to improve their economic capacity, which has been spread in the EU, has not been widely disseminated and implemented in Ukraine, despite its exceptional value as a measure to stimulate the socio-economic development of the regions and as an instrument for implementing of strategic documents initiatives on regional policy in Ukraine and in the EU.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to determine the scientific basis for tax incentives for regional economic cooperation as a measure of increase of socio-economic development level, to substantiate the proposals of stimulation of the implementation of investment and innovative projects, that are aimed at improving the community's welfare on local, regional, national and international levels due cooperation tools and better use of local resources and the benefits of territorial units during their participation in economic exchange, that is - during the glocalization process.Research results. It's proposed the scientific principles of tax stimulation of economic cooperation at the regional level and the essence of regional economic cooperation process, achieved by administrative units, is determined. It's stated that such sense should correspond and improve the existing principles and provisions of the European regional policy, implementation means of which are to be updated in accordance with national features and trends of economic system development. The scientific principles and measures that are to stimulate economic cooperation are developed on the basis of actual provisions of the modern institutional environment, including the Tax and Budget Codes of Ukraine. It has been established that the proposed regulatory tax measures have become possible for practical use, on the basis of appropriate scientific justification, due to modern changes in the budget legislation and are promising for implementation, especially in the aspect of the implementation of new large-scale investment projects, and as a lever to support the development of economic growth.The list of local taxes and fees with the help of which it is possible to stimulate regional economic cooperation is determined, the methodical bases of the regulation of economic cooperation are formulated, in the context of inclusion of territorial communities in the processes of global economic exchange. The measures of stimulation of economic cooperation and implementation of strategically important investment projects with global character are proposed. The measures are to establish preferential rates for local taxes within the existing powers of local self-governmental bodies, the application of privileges for reinvestment operations, the drawing up of strategic plans for promising investment-oriented taxation at the territorial level communities and regions.Conclusion. The results of the research are outlined in the article, in the form of regulatory measures, and are actually necessary for central and regional authorities, since they contain a scientific justification for the effective promotion of economic transformations in a territorial context in according to the implementation needs of the reform of local self-governance and taking into account the influence of the processes of globalization. The prospect for further research includes the formulation of methodological approaches to the determining of tax regulators set that are to stimulate socio-economic development and stimulate regional cooperation, to assess the effectiveness of such regulatory measures.

Topicality. The conceptual foundations of institutional support for the development of regional economic systems around the world are in state of constant transformation according to the impact of key topical trends. During the last two decades, the EU has adopted policy of active investment support for the development of local destinations, territorial centers of resource concentration and economic growth. The general rules of the investment activities conducting are combined with targeted measures of support for the implementation of strategically significant projects. The emphasis in the European regional policy has shifted towards the will of the investments attracting so much that, in fact, the whole policy of stimulating of regional sustainable development has turned into investment policy. An important task for the practical implementation of tools for a project, decentralization approach is the development of methodical tools for the preparation and execution of priority investment projects in the territorial communities in order to develop scientific and applied tools. Even the consideration of specific practical situations is urgent with the purpose of generation of new organizational and economic mechanisms that are to stimulate investment development of territories. Despite numerous theoretical and applied developments in the field of the socio-economic development stimulation of regions and territorial communities, the questions remain unanswered regarding the methodological bases for regulation of priority areas of economic activity of territorial communities and methodological approaches to selection, assessment of the degree of perspective and promotion of implementation of priority investment projects taking into account the specifics and the concentration of local resources. In more specific and applied aspects, the issue of project incentives for socio-economic development of communities is unresolved for the conditions of the national economy, on the basis of decentralization reform and taking into account the requirements of the ideology of sustainable development. Also, the description of various situations with the organization of socio-economic development of the territorial community in the conditions of decentralization, as an example of concrete projects, is still insufficiently considered.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to formulate conceptual foundations, methodological approaches to the stimulation of the sustainable development of territorial communities in the conditions of decentralization, using the best European principles, practices and on the basis of specific situation description of the development and implementation of a long-term investment project for the territorial community. Consideration of the prospects and key aspects of the implementation of investment projects will be considered on the example of the planned association of the Lyman united territorial community of the Tatarbunarian district of the Odessa region.Research results. The conceptual, methodical principles of project support of investment activity in territorial communities are considered, algorithm of selection and support of investment project realization, which is a priority for the territorial community, is defined. There is considered, on the example of the Lyman United Territorial Community, a project on integrated recycling and rational waste management, the results of which the experts of the Institute for Market Problems and Economic & Ecological Research of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine with representatives of the future community testify to the demand for an individual, pro-project approach to the solution of territorial communities problems, on the basis of local features. Thus, in the considered example, taking into account the specifics of composition, volumes, garbage structure and taking into account the seasonal fluctuations in its formation, the original methods are proposed that are available for the community during the processing of waste products into useful products, which are in demand, first of all, in the domestic market segment of the same community. The economic, social, ecological effectiveness of this project is determined, prospects of viability and opportunities for project development are estimated.Conclusions. The experience of working with representatives of territorial communities in the field of implementation of scientific and applied developments to stimulate the socio-economic growth of economic systems on the basis of sustainable development suggests the need for methodological tools on planning sustainable development of territorial communities in the context of decentralization reform.The prospects of the proposed approach include the possibility of local administration and application of measures of economic and organizational assistance for the implementation of such unique projects by the very same territorial community. Support for promising investment projects can be carried out directly by the administrations of territorial communities on the basis of scientifically substantiated principles concerning economic, tax, organizational and other types of regulation.


In this article, the authors consider the issues of flood risk along the Transboundary Rivers of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Floods significantly affect the ecological and socio-economic development of the country. It was found that traditional methods of collecting information about floods do not meet modern requirements and do not allow for prompt management decisions on flood prevention and response. The authors come to the conclusion that the most effective monitoring of floods and high waters is space monitoring. Due to the large frequency of observations and high efficiency of receiving and processing, satellite data are indispensable for solving problems of operational monitoring of the situation on rivers during the spring flood.

The aim of this research was to recognize the importance of cross-border movement for the development of communes located along the eastern border. The research was carried out in two communes: Terespol and Piszczac. The analysis showed that the communes are rural and they are characterized by a low degree of entrepreneurship. High unemployment contributes to the migration of people to urban centres or abroad. Border traffic is an important element of economic life in such regions. Entrepreneurs and traders use a passive trade policy in relation to consumers across the eastern border. Such policy raises concerns about the further cooperation. Socio-economic development of the communes requires institutional support for small businesses and improvement of professional skills of the unemployed. What is more, taking advantage of natural values to develop tourism and recreation offer and increasing trade and cooperation with companies from the East are equally significant.
