Aim. The development of a software product based on the methodology of integral assessment of the health status of the rural population for the rapid assessment of the situation and management decisions. Methods. The study was conducted in the Orenburg region, which is part of the Volga Federal District. The object of the study was the rural population of the Orenburg region (40.1% of the population of the region) and 35 rural areas with a total number of 799 thousand people. As the initial information for an integral assessment of the health status of the population, the data of the state statistical reporting of the Medical Information and Analytical Center of the Orenburg Region were used. The health status of the rural population was studied in the context of rural areas. Among the indicators (P) for assessing the health status of the rural population the following were used: V the average age of the population of the territory; Zp an indicator of primary incidence; Zo an indicator of the overall incidence; I disability indicator; S mortality rate. The methodology for calculating the integral indicators for assessing the state of health has been tested in all 35 rural areas of the Orenburg region. The analysis made it possible to calculate the number of rural areas that are optimal, favorable, limitedly favorable, unfavorable and especially unfavorable by integral indicators for assessing the health status of the rural population. Results. Based on the application of our methodology, a software product has been developed that includes a two-dimensional assessment of the results: numerical and color, reflecting the degree of participation of each indicator in the integral assessment. The software product we developed allows us to evaluate public health indicators in a monitoring mode in rural areas. Using a software product makes it possible to assess and determine priorities for making strategic decisions at the level of heads of health authorities and institutions, as well as heads of administration of a subject of the Federation. Conclusion. The software product for assessing the health status of the population in a rural area may be subject to further expansion and modification of the function, and is also recommended for the presentation of information on the website of administrative territories and the administrative apparatus.

At the present stage in the domestic scientific environment, the problems of ensuring sustainable development of rural areas are insufficiently studied and require further study. The goal of sustainable development of rural areas is a balanced development of the economic, social and environmental spheres, aimed at ensuring a favorable life of the population. The article considers the economic aspects of the functioning of rural territories of Pavlodar region and provides a comprehensive assessment to solve the problems of socio-economic development of these territories in the current and long-term perspective. As a base of analysis and assessment used statistical data of the official website of the Committee on statistics of MNE of RK, and also empirical observation and informational resources of local Executive bodies region. Based on the results, which identified systemic problems of the rural economy that have a negative impact on the level and quality of life of the rural population. These include, first and foremost, the dominant raw material orientation of the rural economy, low labour productivity, due to the significant moral and physical deterioration of the production-technical base, including the excess of the lifespan of the majority of equipment, as well as the rate of fleet renewal machines relevant regulatory requirements, using a separate are subject obsolete resource-intensive technologies. It is shown positive dynamics of key indicators of agriculture, which developed in the first place, due to government regulation of agriculture and the creation of an enabling environment through the extension of the relevant package of measures of state support aimed at the development of this sector of the national economy. Recommendations aimed at activating the processes of rural economy diversification have been developed. Analysis of the state of domestic beekeeping shows that this market niche in the national economy is not sufficiently developed and this industry has a significant unrealized potential. Significant benefits of the development of the beekeeping industry are shown, which will have a positive impact on strengthening the export positions of non-resource orientation, increasing employment of the rural population, crop yields, solving the problems of degraded agricultural land, etc. The economic feasibility and effectiveness of investment projects in the field of beekeeping development, which simultaneously provide a significant social effect, are justified. For the transition of rural territories to a qualitatively new level of development, based on the conclusions made about the priorities of rural development, the authors justify strategic prospects for further development using the internal mechanism of their functioning, reserves of economic growth and taking into account the specifics and features of administrative-territorial units.

This chapter discusses the efforts to create a nation out of Iraq's disparate communities. One of the most urgent and important tasks that was undertaken by the new Iraqi state was to mold disparate communities, divided by ethnicity, sect and tribe, lacking social and cultural connections, into one viable nation. This was no easy task for the King and his government. The state that the British assembled in 1921 had major fissures between Arab and Kurd, Sunni and Shi'ite. These fault lines overlapped with, and indeed were cemented by, the cultural and economic disparities that existed between the urban and rural areas. Of the rural population, much of which was abjectly poor and illiterate, 65 percent was Shi'ite and only 16 percent was Arab Sunni. These communal divisions would prove to be some of the most obstinate hurdles to social and political integration in Iraq during the first decade and a half of the country's life, and even beyond.

There have been systematized the factors influencing the living standards of the population in rural areas in modern conditions, such as: legal, socio-economic, political, technological, etc. With the help of the Ishikawa diagram, the potential causes of the declining standard of living of the rural population are ordered and aggregated, and the most important factors are identified. The effectiveness and efficiency of the state policy aimed at the long term development of rural areas is assessed. It has been noted that the volume of financing the state program Comprehensive development of rural areas for 2020–2025 will amount to about 2.3 trillion rubles, which is 12 times more than funding of the previous program.
