The purpose of the study was to identify and characterize the factors that affect the efficiency of innovations implementation in the social development. Methodology. It was possible to characterize the essence and content of innovations in the social development, to identify factors that affect the efficiency of innovations implementation in the social development through the use of the methods of analysis, systematization, comparison, confronting, generalization of scientific literature and legal and regulatory framework. Results. It was found that in a broad meaning, scientists considered the social development as a change in society, resulting in new social relations, institutions, norms and values. In a narrow meaning, the social development could be seen as a change in the social structure, individual institutions of the society, as a result of which they appeared themselves in a new state. At the same time, the characteristic features of the innovative social development were: novelty for the social environment in which it was implemented; focus on meeting current social needs, solving social problems; had a practical nature of the development, involved the implementation of ideas; transformation of social relations. It was established that innovations in today's conditions were a basic condition of the social development which provided both innovative ideas and innovative methods, ways, technologies of their application. The key factors of the innovative social development were identified: legal support and financial assistance, favorable social-and-economic conditions, innovative resources, critical mass. It was found that efficiency in the implementation of the innovative social development could be achieved through the accumulation of human potential and economic support; formation of the corresponding legislative, financial, economic base; increasing the social activity of young people; modernization of social infrastructure; introduction of innovative technologies, etc. Practical importance. We hope that the results of the study, our observations and comments will contribute to the effective implementation of innovations in the social development, will help to create the necessary conditions, to develop appropriate measures to regulate the activity. Prospects for further study. In our opinion, the issues of factors influencing the quality of human potential, mechanisms of implementing social innovations, etc. can be further developed.

The City

The global cities of the world are witnessing a visible disconnection of everyday life. In India the Smart City guidelines acknowledge the need to counter the growing social detachment and intolerance by encouraging interactions. They go further in identifying that preserving and creating of open spaces must be a key feature of comprehensive urban development. Most social relations are cemented within open spaces at the neighbourhood level. Previous studies examine the association between the attributes of neighbourhood open spaces and social activity but neglect to view the issue comprehensively. The present study turns to Lefebvre’s Unitary Theory which states that open space is a result of three forces; 1) perceived space which is the physical dimension and material quality identifiable by the senses; 2) conceived space created by planners and other agents as plans and documents; and 3) lived space which is shaped by the values attached and images generated through user experience. For open space conducive to social interactions these three aspects must work in tandem. With this consideration a framework of criteria and indicators is developed and used to measure and compare the open spaces in select neighbourhoods in Europe and India. The investigation thus reveals differences in all three aspects of neighbourhood spaces. It also reveals a discrepancy between the planning standards formulated and employed by the city authorities in providing the spaces and the actual needs of the community. The research aims to address this gap. The study of the Indian cases lays foundation for the use of the framework to measure open spaces in association with social cohesion and thereby contribute to the enhancement of the social infrastructure of the City.

The purpose of the investigation is to reveal the importance of human potential and human capital in order to understand their practical importance in the social development of Ukraine. The definitions of «human potential» and «human capital» based on the interpretations of foreign and Ukrainian scientists are analyzed. The author’s vision of the definition of «human potential» as a socio-economic category that embodies the set of abilities, knowledge and capabilities of human and society as a whole, which are realized during the life cycle, interact with other types of potentials, bringing additional benefits and enriching materially and spiritually to achieve the goals of individual and human development. The organizational and level structure of human potential is developed and the content of its key components is described. In particular, in the level distribution, human potential includes: nanlevel (individual), microlevel (enterprise, organization, industry), mesolevel (region) and macrolevel (country or group of countries). The common and distinctive features between human potential and human capital in the social development of Ukraine are generalized. The organizational component of the structure of human potential includes the following most important components: labor potential, creative potential (human potential of creative individuals), intellectual potential, innovation potential, human potential of the nation, and others.It is concluded that the development and full realization of human potential in Ukraine largely depends on the proper implementation of human capital and quality public protection of key components of the social sphere. In this process, the formation of social market system of income, the concept of lifelong learning and the renewal of the health care system should be a priority. Particular attention should be paid to the social environment in which human potential is formed and developed, because it determines the vectors of practical implementation of all those abilities and skills that are laid down from birth and change during the life cycle.

The article deals with the problems of social anxiety in the context of social activity. Social action is one of the phenomena of everyday life, so the study of anxiety that suddenly occurs in familiar conditions for a person, and its manifestations in social relations occupies an important place in sociological science today. Attempts to explain this were made using the works of T. Parsons, Y. Habermas, and G. Garfinkel. Various manifestations and forms of social anxiety affect the social actions of society.

Core Concepts

In this introductory chapter, we present our understanding of the core concepts of this book, namely social innovation and poverty, and situate these concepts in contemporary debates on the governance of welfare provision. We define social innovation as actions that satisfy social needs through the transformation of social relations, which crucially implies an increase of the capabilities and access to resources of people living in poverty. Poverty is not reduced to a lack of monetary income, but refers to a range of processes of social exclusion in various spheres of life that hinders people’s full participation in society. We outline the aim of this book as a sustained attempt to analyse how the social innovation dynamics of localised initiatives are shaped by the welfare regime context with its specific spatial and institutional characteristics. Finally, we discuss the methodological strategy of the comparative case study research on which this book is based.

The article analyses the scientific approaches of scientists to the evolution, essence and features of the concept of �responsibility�, �social responsibility�, �legal responsibility�. It is stated that responsibility is determined by the level of development of public consciousness, the level of social relations, existing social institutions. Liability as a social phenomenon can be manifested both in a positive way � receiving a reward, and in a negative - for committing offences. The classification of responsibility as a social phenomenon depends on the sphere of social activity, in connection with which political, moral, social, legal and other types of responsibility are distinguished. It is theoretically substantiated that legal responsibility differs from other types of social responsibility by formal definition, obligatory observance of legal norms, state control over their execution, application of state coercion to the offender, prevention of offences and protection of law and order. The degree of responsibility in public and private legal relations is determined. Public torts (crime and misdemeanor) are analysed, problematic issues are outlined and suggestions for their improvement are provided. Types of legal liability for committing offences (torts) are considered. Emphasis is placed on the fact that responsibility is a necessary condition for the development and effective functioning of the state, its effectiveness depends on the mechanisms of responsibility to the individual and is determined by the level of social consciousness, the level of social relations, existing social institutions. The key task of accountability is the fair application and inevitability of punishment. Today, the real threat to national security is a theoretically unfounded amendment of the legislation on liability for offenses. Chaotic, unsystematic accumulation of blanket norms in the basic codes, introduction of new definitions and definitions in the legislation on criminal liability, misunderstanding of the essence of disciplinary liability for misdemeanors, creation of new bodies carrying out administrative activities carried out in the field of other state bodies. This has led to real irresponsibility of government officials and vulnerability of citizens from illegal actions of offenders. The Constitution of Ukraine states that a person may be liable only for offences defined by law. The law must be clear and effective. Punishment is just and inevitable. However, the law will be effective only when it will contain all the components of the rule of law: the hypothesis is usually a behaviour; disposition - violation of this rule; sanction - punishment for violation.

The article examines the state and current trends in the social development of the village as a determinant of the mechanism for managing its economic development. His main problems were identified, including those related to demographic processes, migration, availability of jobs, welfare, accessibility to social infrastructure services. The necessity of elaboration and implementation of an innovative model of social development of the village is proved, which implies application of an integrated approach to the solution of existing problems and demands the implementation of transformations in the system and structure of the mechanisms of state regulation by this process both at the central and local levels. Strategic directions concerning overcoming of negative tendencies of social development of village in the context of formation of innovative economy are systematized. In our opinion, strategic directions of further social development of the village should be as following: Not only the creation of new jobs, but places that are especially attractive to young people. Among the latter, there may be rural green, ecological and agro-tourism, the development of which contributes to the creation of new jobs, the preservation of ecological balance, and the restoration of natural and social resources. After all, in order to provide these types of tourism, it is necessary to build a boarding house, a micro-hotel for tourists in a village, which means to activate the construction industry, retail trade, and service life. The formation of the public opinion on the importance and prestige of agrarian labour by guaranteeing an effective system of its social motivation and protection. The comprehensive assistance to the restoration and further development of the social infrastructure of the village, in particular such important areas as: cultural and domestic services, medical care, construction of well-organized and equipped housing. The overcoming of disproportions at the level of service of rural residents. It should be promoted by increasing the solvent demand of the population for social humanitarian services, which necessitates the expansion of the industrial segment of the economy in the village. The enhancement of authorities’ power and the capacity of communities to carry out the process of controlling and stimulating rational resource use in agricultural enterprises of all forms of ownership, attracting investment in the industrial, social and environmental spheres of rural territories. That is, new technologies, new non-standard forms of management, new approaches to the organization of local income distribution and social services must come from the city to the village. The observance of the minimum funding for rural development (at least 1% of GDP). The creation of the fund for support of the social development of the village at the expense of deductions of economic entities of all forms of the ownership in the amount of 1.5% of their income. The introduction of preferential taxation for newly created enterprises in the village in the case of the innovative nature of their production activities, provision of socially necessary services or the implementation of infrastructural provision of these territories, etc.

An age where technology develop rapidly, the lifestyle of people began to shift to that of instantaneous gratification. Even though technology provides convenience and accessibility, at the same time it changes the mindset and behavior of the people into that of anti-social. The lack of interaction added up with high working demand in this 21st century may increase an individual’s stress levels. The existence of physical spaces to support social activity is undeniably minimal. Gadgets may create virtual spaces for people to communicate but they fail to make rapport between one individual and the other. Since the past decades, culture had been one of the activities which brought people and communities together. Culture defines activities which are done in routine thus becomes habits and eventually becomes the community’s character. The occurring social activities gave birth to spaces either physical or non-physical which may support the social needs of the people. Up to this day, people tend to have third activities which they done to get rid of working exhaustion. Pinangsia Cultural Place is a place for people to socially interact with each other with the means of cultured daily activities. The method of design applied is pattern language. The main programs of Pinangsia Cultural Place include food court, karaoke, workshop, and common space for people to hangout, procuring event, physical exercises, etc. Not only does this tends to the needs of local community, Pinangsia Cultural Place is convivially open for outsiders who seek joy and rest.  AbstrakMasa dimana kemajuan teknologi berkembang dengan pesat, gaya hidup masyarakat berubah ke arah serba instan. Walau teknologi memberikan kemudahan, namun di saat yang bersamaan mengubah pola pikir dan sikap masyarakat menjadi cenderung anti-sosial. Kurangnya interaksi ditambah dengan tuntutan kerja yang semakin tinggi di abad 21 dapat meningkatkan stress pada individu. Keberadaan wadah fisik untuk menunjang aktivitas sosial pun juga kurang. Gadget menciptakan sebuah ruang virtual untuk berkomunikasi namun tidak dapat mendekatkan pribadi secara langsung. Sejak zaman dahulu, budaya menjadi salah satu kegiatan yang membawa masyarakat atau komunitas dalam kebersamaan. Budaya adalah aktivitas yang dilakukan terus menerus secara rutin hingga menjadi sebuah kebiasaan kemudian menjadi karakter dari lingkungan tersebut. Aktivitas yang terjadi melahirkan ruang baik secara fisik maupun non-fisik yang dapat menunjang kebutuhan sosial masyarakat di dalamnya. Hingga saat ini, masyarakat di tengah pekerjaan masing-masing memiliki aktivitas selingan yang mereka lakukan untuk mencari hiburan di tengah kepenatan. Tempat Budaya Pinangsia adalah wadah untuk masyarakat saling berinteraksi sosial dengan berdasarkan pada aktivitas sehari-hari yang melibatkan seni dan budaya. Metode perancangan yang digunakan adalah bahasa pola. Program utama Tempat Budaya Pinangsia meliputi tempat makan dan bermain, tempat karaoke, workshop, dan common space untuk hangout, pengadaan acara, latihan fisik, dll. Tidak hanya terbatas untuk warga lokal, Tempat Budaya Pinangsia juga terbuka untuk pengunjung dari luar kawasan yang mencari kesenangan dan istirahat.

The authors consider the problem of communication as social reality in the context of conceptual representations of non-classical ontology. These views are based on the idea of variability in the interpretation of basic philosophical category of reality. Works of Chris Berry, Jean Baudrillard, Robin Dunbar, Paul Lazarsfeld, Harold Laswell, Andrew Zverintsev, Charles Cooley, Merab Mamardashvili, Alina Panfilova, Alan Pulford, Paul Smith, Arkady Ursuland and others are devoted to this problem.The article aims to clarify the ontological meaning of the concept «communicative reality». It can resolve conceptual representations of non-classical ontology that is based on the idea of variability of interpretation basic to the concept of space is a philosophical category of reality.Non-classical ontology interprets the concept of «reality» as a collection of objects and phenomena that have approximately the same being or exist in the same way. If being is the property of objects, and existence is their procedural characteristics, then reality is the very objects that possess this property and realize this action. Thus, the objects and phenomena of the material world exist in one way and form an objective reality. There is another way and form of artistic reality. Plans, projects, fantasies have a way of existence and form of mental reality. Therefore, there is an idea of coexistence of different realities. Thus, it is possible to consider not only one reality («actually existed»), but also different realities that constitute the «sector of existence». In this case, it is necessary to speak not about reality, but about reality in a particular sector of life (objective, subjective and virtual reality). That is, the communicative reality can be defined as the particular sector being associated with a subjective interpretation of the real world. Is it possible to define a specific combination of objects, existing solely in the communication processes according to the laws that differ from laws of objective and virtual reality?Therefore, social communication is the result of the interaction of objectively existing segments of the social structure, with defined interests and requests. Social communication is based on existing channels of social ties and actually existing social interests and preferences. It is established that the person prefers to obtain information from a limited number of sources, which he/ she considers asthe closest social environment. Information is perceived positively if it meets social needs of individuals. Information influence that does not consider requests and exceeds the threshold of perception is filtered out as information noise. The patterns of perception of information determine certain forms of informational influence.Thus, the communicative reality even when generating a virtual picture of the world relies on objectively existing social relations, patterns of perception of information and the channels of mass communication. To sum up, the authorsgive an ontological definition of communication space– a set of conditions of interaction of social facilities, with a focus on specific layers of links between the communication objects.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of psychodynamic predictors of social activity of the young generation. The basis of this study is a system-diachronic approach which allowed studying social activity in the development process and identifying mismatches between the requirements of the social environment and the possibilities to meet these requirements on the part of the individual. The findings suggest that the focus of social activity is not determined by individual psychodynamic features, but by their successful combination. The studied personality characteristics are considered by us as predictors of the physical, social and ideal needs of the individual, and the direction of social activity, as a way to satisfy them. It is proved that the direction of social activity depends on the general and private tasks of personal development and is a necessary condition for the socio-psychological adaptation of the individual.
