The article is dedicated to the need to develop and approve a Public Procurement Strategy for the Donetsk region, which will envisage the use of procurement not only for current purchase of goods, works or services, but also for implementation of additional ‘horizontal’ goals in creation of employment opportunities, environmental protection and support for small and medium-sized enterprises, taking into account the peculiarities of post-conflict recovery processes. It is emphasized that currently there are no strategic approaches to the use of public procurement in solving complex problems of Donetsk region development, which is manifested in the following: 1) strategic development goals of Donetsk region are not related to public procurement, i. e., no connection has been established between them; 2) no specific goals have been set for the public procurement itself, and there is no vision for the development of procurement in the Donetsk region. It is suggested that these problems could be solved by the Public Procurement Strategy for the Donetsk region, which would envisage goals for the strategic use of public procurement. It is proved that this Strategy will: 1) promote the recognition and understanding by contracting authorities of public procurement as a potential means of addressing important issues of regional or city development and strengthen the role of procurement in these processes; 2) allow business entities to better plan their activities; 3) ensure consistency of strategic goals of the region’s development with national priorities, including sustainable development. The vision of public procurement development is defined. The goals of the Donetsk Region Development Strategy for the period up to 2027, in the implementation of which public procurement can play an important role, are defined as well. Additionally, the goals of the draft Public Procurement Strategy are coordinated with the Donetsk Region Development Strategy.

Among the most highly sought measures of public support of businesses are various preferences to small-scale businesses as part of the public procurement of goods and services. In light of the new coronavirus pandemic there is an active discussion of the measures related to supporting the small- and medium-scale business entities with the use of the public procurement institution. However, taking such measures may presuppose significant inherent risks, including those related to potential or real limitation of competition. In their work the authors analyze the global experience of preferential programs for small- and medium-scale business entities through public procurement, as well as specific features peculiar to the Russian legal order which may be of importance during introduction of the said measures.

The City

A city that does not have a bright tourism brand needs to take special approaches to planning and implementing a tourism strategy. Such a strategy should be an integral part of the overall city development strategy, consider the interests of all stakeholders, have its own vision, scenarios, projects. An intercultural approach from "history to the present", emphasis on different target groups, active partnership with business and community are the basis for formulating an effective city development strategy. The author considers an example of strategy development for Vinnytsia using strategic, project and operational management methods and tools. The directions of analysis and development from vision to real scenarios and vice versa from scenarios to strategic map of development allow to form a real strategy of tourism development. In each direction the main functions of management are considered: planning, motivation, organization, control. The analysis of the overall strategy of the city development revealed the direct and indirect strategic projects that influence the development of tourism. W. Disney's (improved by R. Dilts) technique was used to form a vision for tourism development in the city. The main modern slogan of the development strategy of the Vinnytsia city - "City of ideas" - for tourism strategy has been transformed into the slogans "Tourist city of ideas" and "City of tourist ideas". Each of the directions of the overall city strategy is adapted to aspects of tourism development. Analysis of tourism development strategies of such cities as Zaporizhzhia, Mukachevo, Khmilnyk; a review of scientific articles on tourism strategy development has allowed us to draw on a general outline for strategy development and generate a strategic map using Google software. The analysis of the results of the activities of the the City Marketing and Tourism Department for 7 months revealed some duplications and mistakes in the formation of development goals, lack of differentiation of directions and development of partnership. The author offers rough drafts of vision, mission. In addition, recommendations were made for the City Marketing and Tourism Department. The author proposes to adapt the technology of detailing each of the directions of tourism development in the city and to position each specialist in the strategy map. The result of the research is the proposed methods and draft essays for the formation of tourism development strategy in Vinnytsia.

The Local Government Reform in Northern Ireland in 2015 returned decision-making powers on territorial development to the local level. Sabine Kalke, who worked in the department before and after the reform, spoke in her interview about the changes they faced and what additional powers were transferred to local government. The changes mostly affected interactions with stakeholders and the actual development strategy of Belfast. Today, the city determines the priorities and development goals at the local level, and negotiations with major developers are based on these goals. As a result, the interaction has become more meaningful and mutually beneficial. The reform provides the City Council with a certain flexibility in decision-making: its position remains strong, but with the ability to adjust the plans. After all, the urban development process benefits both the private and the public sector. In this sense, the readiness of each of the parties to an open dialogue becomes key. The experience of Belfast is becoming particularly important regarding changes in the Russian local government system, which has lost much authority in recent years.

This article examines the involvement of citizens in the process of making technological decisions aimed at developing a smart environment, from smart home to urban infrastructure. The study is based on an approach that takes into account the dual behavior of the consumer of smart services - passive and active behavior. Highlighted the contradictions that create obstacles to the effective functioning of the smart city: the selective multidirectionality of the smart city development strategy and sustainable development goals; developing smart solutions for citizens without taking into account their opinions; polar approach of smart city residents to involvement in the development and implementation of smart solutions. The risks associated with the likelihood of incomplete return from the use of smart solutions are identified: consumer distrust of data security and privacy; insufficient literacy of residents regarding understanding of smart technology management processes; significant financial costs and the orientation of smart solutions to wealthy citizens; lack of sufficient evidence of the effectiveness of using a number of smart solutions; the difficulty of implementing an integrated approach to ensuring the growth of the quality of life of citizens. In accordance with the concept of the study, two directions for mitigating or eliminating risks are proposed - depending on the significant or insignificant involvement of citizens. Specific measures have been developed to help mitigate and eliminate risks. The experience of the creation of the People’s Institute of the Voronezh State Technical University was used.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to analyze the inclusion of Green Public Procurement (GPP) requirements in the EU public procurement regime. The debate about moving towards greener public purchasing has been fueled afresh in the wake of the EU Green Deal, which highlights the significance of a public procurement regime in pursuing the existing environmental policy goals at EU level. This is also reflected in other key EU policy documents, such as the Circular Economy Package, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as the climate change legislation implementing the Paris Agreement. In this context, this paper aspires to map the intersections between the public spending decisions of contracting authorities and their discretion in inserting environmental considerations through the lens of increasing compliance with the adopted environmental targets.
