The article presents the experience of the Territorial Reconciliation Service of the Kemerovo Region in the development and testing of algorithms for mediation resolution of complex school and family situations of minors based on the principles of the restorative approach. For restorative work with multi-level conflicts in the escalation stage in educational organizations, as well as difficult life situations of minors and their families, registered in the juvenile affairs departments, special social technologies have been developed that have a comprehensive design and include various restorative programmes (restorative mediation, community circle, school-parent council, family group conference, family mediation). An analysis of the results of pilot empirical testing of the technologies developed by the authors shows their effectiveness in relation to complex school and family conflict situations. If there is special training in restorative technologies and an organizational structure uniting trained restorative practitioners (Territorial Reconciliation Service), these algorithms can be applied by specialists in the social sphere, education system, juvenile delinquency prevention and neglect system

The article disclosed the content of the concepts «innovation», «social innovation», «social technology», «innovative social technology». It is indicated that one of the features of modern social technology is its innovative nature. The purpose of the article is to define the essence of the concept of «innovative social technologies», substantiate and analyze the possibilities of their application in work with children and youth. Innovation is increasingly becoming the subject of scientific research in the social sphere. The main attention of researchers is focused on innovative technologies in social work, innovative processes, innovative methods, types and subjects of social innovation, innovative practices of social work with vulnerable groups in Ukraine. It is noted that the emergence of innovative technology is determined by the needs and social problems of society, requires accurate planning, serious training and qualified personnel. For social pedagogy, the term «innovation» currently remains new and poorly researched. This term is interpreted in two meanings: innovation as a process and innovation as a product. The characteristics, functions and sources of social innovation are considered. It is emphasized that innovations actively influence the surrounding social environment. For social work, social pedagogy, an essential characteristic of innovation is its social consequences. The social processes that determine the growth of innovative activity in the social sphere are indicated. Innovative technologies exist in two forms: in the form of programs and documents and in the form of social processes. It was also noted that children and youth are quite often the most vulnerable social categories and need qualified assistance and support. The presence of social problems prompts the development and implementation of innovative technologies for social work with children and youth. The innovative social technologies in working with children are listed. The innovative forms of the implementation of youth work in Ukraine have been identified. The promising directions of innovative activity in the social sphere, including in the social and pedagogical work with children and youth, are indicated.

This article continues the presentation of the problems related to the modeling (in CEMI RAS) the RF social sphere financing. Earlier articles in the issues reflected an expanded understanding of this sphere (taking into account its links with production), its social and economic structure. Then the methodological aspects of the implementation of these provisions in the complex multi-level information and analytical system of the PIC (population, income, consumption), starting with the theoretical and methodological justification of the semiotic approach-in the «person» of the semiotic methodology of SMOD/SMOG – to its organization were highlighted. The PIC system, with step-by-step semiotic control of all indicators to ensure their reliability, serves as the basis for modeling the social sphere financing according to basic data since 1995. This article presents the first part of the review of such works carried out in 1999 with the gradual modernization of the PIC system according to state statistics. Later, the PIC system was used in further studies of social policy parameters and options.

The paper examines and compares how the major sociological theories treat axiological issues. Value-driven topics are analysed in view of their relevance to society in times of crisis, when both societal life and the very structure of society undergo dramatic change. Nowadays, social scientists around the world are also witnessing such a change due to the emergence of alternative schools of sociological thought (non-classical, interpretive, postmodern, etc.) and, subsequently, the necessity to revise the paradigms that have been existed in sociology so far. Since the above-mentioned approaches are often used to address value-related issues, building a solid theoretical framework for these studies takes on considerable significance. Furthermore, the paradigm revision has been prompted by technological advances changing all areas of people’s lives, especially social interactions. The global human community, integral in nature, is being formed, and production of human values now matters more than production of things; hence the “expansion” of value-focused perspectives in contemporary sociology. The authors give special attention to collectivities which are higher-order units of the social system. These units are described as well-organised action systems where each individual performs his/her specific role. Just as the role of an individual is distinct from that of the collectivity (because the individual and the collectivity are different as units), so too a distinction is drawn between the value and the norm — because they represent different levels of social relationships. Values are the main connecting element between the society’s cultural system and the social sphere while norms, for the most part, belong to the social system. Values serve primarily to maintain the pattern according to which the society is functioning at a given time; norms are essential to social integration. Apart from being the means of regulating social processes and relationships, norms embody the “principles” that can be applied beyond a particular social system. The authors underline that it is important for Ukrainian sociology to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of axiology and make good use of those ideas because this is a prerequisite for its successful integration into the global sociological community.

The article studies the main stages and features of the evolution of the public administration system in the Republic of Estonia after 1992. This paper presents brief geographical and socio-economic characteristics that largely determine the development of the country’s public administration. The evolution of the institution of the presidency, executive, and legislative powers are considered. The role of parliament and mechanisms for coordinating the interests of different groups of the population for the development of the country is especially emphasized. The authors analyze the state and administrative reforms of recent years, which were aimed at improving the quality of services provided to the population, increasing the competitiveness of different parts of Estonia, as well as optimizing public spending and management structure. The introduction of digital technologies into the sphere of public administration, healthcare, education, and the social sphere is of a notable place. Such phenomena as e-residency, e-federation, and other digital projects are considered. The development of a digital system of interstate interaction between Estonia and Finland made it possible to create the world’s first e-federation, and the digitization of all strategically important information and its transfer to cloud storage speaks of the creation of the world’s first e-residency, a special residence of data outside the country’s borders to ensure digital continuity and statehood in the event of critical malfunctions or external threats.

The article is devoted to the review of current changes in the legislation on notaries related to the development of electronic civil circulation, analysis of existing digital risks and assessment of the role of notaries in combating them. In modern economic realities, a significant expansion of the sphere of competence of the notary is carried out by introducing completely new notarial actions into the scope of the notary’s terms of reference. At the same time, the notary does not just follow the general ‘digital’ trend, but independently makes significant efforts to effectively perform the tasks of the social sphere regulator assigned to it by the state. The creation of the Unified Notary Information System as part of the formation of the technological infrastructure to ensure the security and stability of legal relations in the context of electronic civil circulation takes to a new level the quality of notarial services and the security of legally relevant information. The role of notaries significantly increases in conditions when the use of digital technologies in the economy, public administration, social sphere becomes one of the main vectors of world development, and society and the state inevitably face the flip side of this process – digital risks that jeopardize the safety of participants in civil turnover and their property. In 2020, as part of the implementation of the national program ‘Digital Economy’, it is planned to introduce a number of innovations that will create the basis for a stable and secure ‘digital’ turnover.
