The article considers the issue of housing and communal services not only as an economic category, but also as a resource of state administration. It is shown that the market of housing services is a component to ensure the quality of life. The definition of the concept of «resource» is given not only from the point of view of «classical» economic theory, but also a retrospective analysis of the formation and interpretation of this category. The classification of the relation to the resources of several economic schools is made. Based on the relationship to the resources of various economic schools, the author presents the interpretation of the concept of «resource» as a tool and means of the process of implementing a business idea, including the provision and organization of production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods/services that meet social, production and individual needs. The specificity of housing and communal services as: resource-intensive industry, which includes about twenty activities that require a variety of resources; as an industry that carries an economic and social burden, as the housing and communal services is a benefit that has the dual nature of both public, state-funded and private benefits provided by economic entities of the housing market. The analysis of the resource component of the housing and communal services sector allowed to identify the areas of activity and the main functional of the social and economic processes of the industry. It is determined that the specificity of housing and communal services is due not only to resource intensity, but also socially significant sphere of the final product. In addition, the existence of contractual relations in the industry raises the issue of coordination of the interests of economic entities, the population and the state. Described by «the resource concept» management allowed us to determine the specific resources of the state control (resource right, resource, political regime, resource organizations and resource competences). The authors present the results of expert assessment of problems in the housing and communal sector. When considering the utility sector as a special resource in the system of public administration, the main problem is the creation of a resource of competencies. It is revealed that the primary importance in the creation of this resource is the lack of competent approach in the training of specialists corresponding to the overall structure of professionalism. The need to develop professional standards should be part of a systematic approach to solving existing issues of development of the industry, where the state should not only provide regulatory and methodological support, but also act as an official customer of specialists for the industry.

The paper is devoted to the study of Nikolai Gogol’s idea of the social and official status of the Mayor, the character of a “head official” in the satirical comedy The Government Inspector. So far Gogol’s view of his character as a raznochinets, a “mean plebeian”, who blemished his rank and position, hasn’t been considered by the scholars. In Gogol’s opinion, Skvoznik-Dmukhanovsky, who started his career from the lowest position and acquired his rank and title of nobility with “hard service”, nevertheless hasn’t become a true nobleman because of his bribery and corruption. From this perspective, the character of the Mayor helps to better understand the purpose of Gogol’s satire. Both in The Government Inspector and The Gamblers, another Gogol’s play, that has much in common with his most famous comedy, the satire is not aimed at “those in power”, nor the “state machine”, but at all kinds of frauds and swindlers among officials. Critically examining the state administration in Russia, Gogol shows them through the eyes of a high-ranking, responsible official who takes the problem very much to heart. This point of view resonated with that of the Emperor Nicholas I: it took his personal intervention to have the play published and staged. The paper consists of five parts: 1. The Mayor’s career; 2. Character archetypes in The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforivich and The Government Inspector; 3. Characteristic features of an “average official” in Gogol’s works; 4. The Mayor as a liminal character; 5. Gogol’s use of satire. The paper is based on extensive factual material that allows to trace in detail the Mayor’s career and to specify Gogol’s idea of the comedy as a satiric play aimed at obnoxious saboteurs, both nobles and commoners, who subvert the royal power and the state with their unworthy behavior, who are unfit for the positions they occupy and unable to meet the requirements of the supreme authority. The milestones of the Mayor’s career clearly confirm Gogol’s words that “the government consists of us, we climb the career ladder and make up the government”, that “the occupant of the position is to be blamed, and he is our brother”, and that readers and should be able to find with themselves the faults satirized in the comedy. With utmost sincerity and acuteness Gogol advocates healing self and society, extirpation of vices without the hidden agenda of changing political regime. The paper for the first time considers the connection between two scenes (“Anna Andreevna and Maria Antonovna”. “Khlestakov and Rastakovsky”) published in 1841 and the idea of The Government Inspector

Governments are showing an interest in, or incorporating, gamification into their governance processes and/or services to citizens. The article describes the concept of gamification, examines its potential from the point of view of using elements of the game in public administration, for example, on the websites of authorities and special platforms, as well as in offline mode. The conclusion is made about the goals of introducing gamification into the practice of public authorities. The state administration can not only be the author of these projects, but also assist civil society institutions (public associations, citizens) in their development.

ABSTRACT Indonesia is constitutionally constitutional state and requires the government through its apparatus in the field of State Administration to play a positive active role in all aspects of people's lives to achieve the prosperity of their people. Within this framework, it is not uncommon for a dispute to be caused by actions from the government in the form of irregularities, thus violating the human rights of its citizens. Strictly speaking, these deviations constitute government actions that are detrimental to those affected by the decision, in this case the people. The foregoing raises problems namely; whether any decision of the State Administration or Agency that causes harm to a person or legal entity can be submitted and sued as a dispute to the State Administrative Court and administrative efforts in which the decision can be sued again through the State Administrative Court. In this study the authors use the method of normative law research (normative law research) and by using primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Normative legal research examines laws that are conceptualized as the norms or principles that apply in society, and become a reference for each person's behavior. Management and analysis of data is done in a qualitative way that is analyzing library data to produce descriptive data. After conducting discussions on the existing problems, it can be concluded, Each decision of the State Administration Agency or officials that causes harm to civil legal persons or entities can be submitted and sued as a dispute to the State Administrative Court. Its relative competency is related to the place of residence or jurisdiction of the court itself, as well as the parties to the dispute. Whereas the absolute competence can be seen from the point of view of the basis of disputes, which is due to the issuance of written provisions by the State Administrative Court or Agency. Administrative efforts in resolving state administrative disputes are known as administrative channels or efforts, whether in the form of administrative appeals or objections. In accordance with the basis of our country's philosophy of Pancasila, then the state administrative disputes should be resolved as far as possible through administrative efforts, which are more deliberative in reaching consensus. But if all available administrative efforts have been used, it turns out that the disputing parties remain unsatisfied, then the matter is raised and sued through the State Administrative Court.

The article next to the hermeneutic methodology examines the key aspects of a special model of political regime: the "ethnic democracy" of S. Smooha, which is based on the idea of the development of an ethnic nation in a state. According to this author's point of view, the main idea of this form of stability is the absolute control of the ethnic majority over the minority. It examines the reasons for the emergence of "ethnic democracy", the characteristics of its implementation in practice and the conditions of stability. When this model is implemented in practice, the State pursues the objective of central ethnic-national development in the country, as well as its isolation from other ethnic groups. Under the concept of "ethnic democracy" the ethnic minority is granted limited rights, the state constantly monitors its scope, considering the interests of the "main" nation. It is concluded that the implementation of the "ethnic democracy" model deliberately violates the right to self-identification of a part of the population (ethnic minority), therefore "ethnic democracy" is an element of state policy that addresses inequality or a desire for total assimilation.

Context. The space control radar stations carry out the extremely important functions, therefore, they must be extremely reliable, and ensuring reliability is one of the key requirements at all stages of their life cycle. Objective. The goal of the work is the analyzing some aspects of ensuring reliability, caused by the peculiarities of the process of developing and manufacturing radar stations monitoring space, justifying the possibility of using the experience of a domestic developer in solving reliability problems in new samples. Method. A comparative analysis of the methods of development, manufacturing and testing of complex technical systems, existing standards and the standard of the Chief Designer are used in the work. Results. Some of the characteristic features of space control radar stations are given: uniqueness, single production, low repeatability and a large range, the impossibility of manufacturing and testing functionally complete systems directly under the manufacturer’s conditions. A number of features of design and manufacturing according to the standard of the Main Designer, which are absent in the existing standards, are considered, the necessity of developing new regulatory documents that take into account the specifics of the design and manufacture of space control radar stations is justified. From an applied point of view, a number of specific scientific and practical solutions for ensuring the reliability of space control radar stations of a domestic developer which may be used in further developments are presented. It has been established that many terms in the modern theory of reliability do not have an applied focus and do not allow increasing the accuracy of classifying the state of an object. It is shown that the creation of new generations of space monitoring radar stations is accompanied by the emergence of new scientific and practical tasks unknown to science, the solution of which is connected with the use of new scientific ideas and with the own developments of component elements. It is shown that the use of co-temporal elemental base in the design of space monitoring radar creates difficulties in ensuring the reliability of hierarchical levels, since testing by existing standards is possible only for lower levels of hierarchy. It is established that the existing standards of general technical requirements and methods of control and testing for products and radar stations are not always identical and it is impossible to ensure, that applying a highly reliable element base, we shall receive the same radar station reliability. Obviously, the new stage of ensuring reliability must be associated with the individual reliability of the elements themselves. It justifies the importance of the scientific task associated with the choice of control parameters of the modern generation of radar stations in the conditions of the impossibility of applying traditional control, which requires the interruption of their operation. The temperature as a function of time is proposed as a parameter for estimating the state of products. A number of ways to ensure the reliability of new generations of space monitoring radar stations based on the use of new information signals, as well as reliability models built into the element base for creating a system for collecting, storing and analyzing information — the same for all stages of the radio electronic equipment. Conclusions. Taking into account the features of the design and manufacture of space monitoring radar stations and the practical experience of a domestic developer to solve reliability problems will ensure the creation of technology of highly reliable generations of space control radars and the development of stations of “high factory readiness”.

The purpose of the paper is to highlight the process of decentralizing power in Ukraine, using historical methodology. First of all, dialectics, that is, the fragmentation of the process in the unity of its contradictions, and the principle of historicism, which requires comprehension of the essence of a particular historical period and the discovery of its immanent features.Subject of democratic reforms in Ukraine is extremely important, so this topic is widely studied by experts in the field of public administration, economics, law, sociology. Among the most topical ones is the problem of introducing and implementing a modern decentralization reform in Ukraine. Most publications contain analysis of problems and recommendations for reform. However, unfortunately, we must note that some publications of our colleagues is not so much scientific as information and propaganda. In addition, the problem is still beyond the control of historical science. Including the fact that this reform is not yet completed, only the first stage has passed. It is believed that historians have not yet come the time to analyze current processes and current phenomena. Because we believe that the processes of modern democratic reforms in Ukraine are no less interesting and relevant to historians than for specialists from other humanities. Strength and social health of the state are determined not only by the respective qualities of state administration, but also by the inclusion of the society itself, the strengthening of local self-government, the involvement of the energy of the entire population, the creation of civil society. That is why the most urgent tasks to be solved in the course of the development of the Ukrainian state were the task of developing local self-government and decentralization of power. Unfortunately, the relevant attempts made during 1990-2013 were half-hearted and generally unsuccessful because of the reluctance of the central government to give real rights and powers to local self-government, territorial communities. Starting in 2014, a decentralized government reform is being introduced in Ukraine, the first phase of which was completed in 2018. At this stage, emphasis was placed on the creation of united territorial communities and the provision of certain economic and financial autonomy. The Ukrainian authorities categorically rejected any proposals on federalization and regionalization, that is, the provision of autonomy to regions and the real strengthening of regional authorities. At the same time, she showed extraordinary activity, determination and persistence in creating united territorial communities. At the same time, despite the promised voluntary, central authorities sometimes used various direct and covert coercive methods. Overall, the goal was achieved. However, the strengthening of the independence of the communities of large cities has, in practice, strengthened the local elites, which became more authoritative and influential than the nation-wide politicians, who were mostly characterized by incompetence and abuse of their powers for their own enrichment. As a result, in Ukraine there was a threat of federalization, which the central government fears. Large cities can become the basis for such federalization in the face of a fall in confidence in the central government. Local government democracy could be more obvious in the event of a decentralization reform on all fronts: the constitutional and legal provision of self-government, the creation of executive committees of regional and district councils with the proper authority, governors' election, the establishment of appointed commissioners and prefects with strictly supervisory functions, such as it is accepted in most developed countries of the world. Obviously, such measures can not in any way endanger the unity, unity of the state, if the state is truly authoritative, strong and legal. After all, in the state - as in a separate team: if it is headed by a true leader, every employee is a creative person, and not an obediently gray performer.

Abstract The Slovak Republic pays close attention to effective care of the whole environment, important component of which is also the air. This is ensured through designated authorities within the competence of the State. Municipality, as the basic unit of territorial self-government, is the subject, which has competencies in the area of air protection and acts as a state administration body. This paper focuses on an analysis of legislative assurance of legal relationships arising during the application of the transferred competencies of the state administration to municipalities. In particular, it focuses on the position of the municipality in matters of transferred state administration and its focus on air protection, municipal competencies in air protection, administrative offenses in the competence of the municipality and their solution. Using the methods of analysis, deduction and grammatical and logical interpretation, the paper attempts to continuously monitor, analyse and organise the competencies of the municipality in the exercise of the transferred competencies in the area of air protection and to analyse their application towards obliged subjects from a legislative point of view. In particular, rigorous monitoring and appropriate repressive measures of the municipality are the most effective instrument for achieving the indispensable responsibility of individuals and collective bodies for the state of the air in the defined area. If a sanction is imposed in case of non-compliance with legal obligations, one of the methods currently required for general prevention in this area of the municipality may be fulfilled. By its consistent application activity, the municipality can make a very significant contribution to maintaining or improving the air quality in the area of its territorial scope.

In its task of controlling the local population, the local Russian administration in the Kingdom of Poland gathered information from both official and unofficial sources. An important source, from the point of view of the Russian authorities, was denunciations. They provided information about various individuals and phenomena occurring outside the knowledge of the administrative apparatus. The denunciations finding their way into the hands of the Governor of Lublin concerned many issues of everyday life, from the functioning of state administration and its functionaries to crime and morality. Many of them were not left without some sort of response from the authorities — sometimes this was the way in which citizens drew the authorities’ attention to their problems, grievances etc., including those caused by representatives of the state administration.

Arts turned to the background of the attention of public administration proceeding from the fact that our country is in a rather difficult political and economic situation. Therefore, it is not surprising that globalization processes affect the weakest, from a managerial point of view, state-building aspects. Art is the philosophical and spiritual layer of social consciousness, which is not manifested as clearly as, for example, some industrial branches, but its significance does not become less from it. The proof of the magnitude development of arts’ state management is an example of some negative globalization impact on modern Ukrainian society. Also relevant is the consideration of the conceptual public administration approaches to professional and amateur arts, their transformation into modern conditions of society development. The transformation of conceptual approaches to public administration is dedicated to a large number of studies by leading Ukrainian scholars. Each of them made a significant contribution to the state-management transformations development of almost all branches of government. The aim of the article is to consider the conceptual approaches of public administration transformation to professional and amateur arts through the analysis of scientific research of modern Ukrainian scholars. In the management there is always a public authority or its official, the other part is a citizen, or an association of citizens, an enterprise, an institution, an organization. And if in public administration a citizen is the main subject of publiclegal relations, then public administration of professional and amateur art aims more broad on the population of the country. It has been concluded that in the broad sense the state administration of art will be understood as a system of social development management. This is disclosed through the activities of public administration and local government. They are fully accountable to the public and operate in their interests, with the help of co-ordination of decisions on the development and implementation of state policy on the development of professional and amateur art.
