The scientific and theoretical analysis of the legal basis of rural hospitality in Ukraine in terms of inclusive rural development is provided in this article. Particular attention is paid to justifying the necessity of developing and adopting a special law that would define the general legal, organizational and socio-economic principles of regulating the activities of citizens in this sphere. It is noted that the draft of Law of Ukraine «On Stimulating the Development of Rural Hospitality in Ukraine» is characterized by a number of positive features. There are: rural hospitality is defined as a diversified activity that can be carried out by each house hold located in the rural areas; the provision of rural hospitality services is not a business activity (Article 3 of theDraft). Thus, today a process of formation of the legislation in the sphere of rural hospitality takes place. Such legislation is aimed at creating the foundations for the broad involvement of the rural population in the provision of tourist services, improving its economic situation. This contributes to improving the level and quality of life in the rural areas, and ensuring inclusive rural development. Keywords: inclusive rural development, rural green tourism, rural hospitality, rural area, rural population, private peasant farm

Abstract. Introduction. Analytical study of the current state of rural areas allows us to identify a number of socio-economic problems: the low efficiency of the implementation of modern mechanisms and methods of state management of rural development, the lack of necessary methods to assess the effectiveness of their development. These problems dramatically increase the need to find approaches that can ensure the development of rural areas, vectors of sustainable development of agricultural enterprises of various forms of management. Qualitative improvement of the organizational and economic potential of rural development is objectively necessary in the overall system of solving the problems of management of spatial development of territories, the quality of life of the population. The purpose is to systematize features, conditions of formation of organizational and economic potential for development of vectors of improvement of management of social and economic development of rural territories. To achieve this goal, a list of the following tasks is defined: a review of a set of scientific approaches; determination of the directions of realization of possibilities of indicative approach in an assessment of efficiency; the organizational and economic mechanism of management of potential of rural territory. Methods. The paper uses generally recognized research methods: monographic review of various sources, abstract and logical generalization, economic and statistical, regulatory processes of formation and implementation of organizational and economic potential of rural areas. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the formulation and solution of the question of the need to determine and assess the quality characteristics of the potential of rural areas through the use of tools and mechanisms of an indicative approach. Results. An important condition for the implementation of an effective policy of organizational and economic potential of rural areas is a system of strategic measures and proposals to improve the competitiveness of the rural economy, improve the quality of life in rural areas. Management of rural development is based on the principles of regulation, the interaction of potential elements with the institutional environment. Summary. The monographic review of the literature allowed to systematize measures to improve the level of socio-economic stability; development of strategic programs for the development of rural areas with the definition of indicators of economic growth, indicators of improving the quality of life of the population; evaluation of options and opportunities for the transition to a new socio - economic situation of rural areas.

Background. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the clinical manifestations, disease severity based on radiography images, functional activity level, and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis in a rural population living in Serbian enclaves in Kosovo, as well as to determine the correlation between the WOMAC and the EQ-5D questionnaire in this population. Method. The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Internal Medicine Clinic, Clinical Hospital Center Pristina-Gracanica, located in Laplje Selo from February to December 2013. One hundred patients with confirmed (American College of Rheumatology criteria) knee osteoarthritis completed the EQ-5D and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaires, rated pain on a visual analogue scale (VAS), and underwent knee radiographic examinations. Result. Most patients were obese with moderate radiographic changes according to the Kellgeren–Lawrence scale and suffered from very severe pain according to the VAS scale. The duration of disease significantly correlated with the WOMAC scores, VAS score, and all of the scores on the EQ-5D, except for mobility. The age of participants showed a similar correlation with the same variables. The patients with higher Kellgren–Lawrence scores (3-4) were significantly older, with a significantly higher body mass index (BMI) and longer duration of disease than patients with lower scores (1-2). Significantly higher VAS, pain/discomfort EQ-5D, and WOMAC pain and function scores were also recorded among patients with more significant radiological changes. The correlations between WOMAC and EQ-5D were satisfactory. Conclusion. The severity of clinical manifestations and radiographic area changes may affect functional ability and the quality of life in knee OA patients living in rural areas, which requires adequate treatment and physical therapy.

The core objectives for rural development support for the period 2007–2013 are: (1) improving the competitiveness of agriculture and forestry, (2) improving the environment and the countryside, and (3) improving the quality of life in rural areas and encouraging the diversification of economic activity. The Council Regulation (EC) No. 1698/2005 includes an unambiguous targeting of smaller and micro-enterprises to sustain job opportunity in rural areas. For this scheduled period, a minimum funding of 10% of the total EU contribution has been withheld by the Council Regulation for the measures connected with the quality of life and diversification of the rural economy outside agriculture and forestry. In spite of this, the EU Court of Auditors has concluded that rural development policy in Europe is ineffective because it continues to allow member states to adopt a predominantly sectoral approach with the primary focus on the agricultural sector (Special Report No. 17/2006). This paper deals with the possible impact of one RDP measure – the reduction of LFA payments according to farm size. Taking into account the variety of regions in Europe and the different situations at national level, it is difficult to provide a single guideline to solve the problem. Implementation without a deep analysis could lead to undesirable consequences. A specific adjustment to the situation of the given country will be advisable.

Abstract Contemporary transformations of rural areas involve changes in land uses, economic perspectives, connectivity, livelihoods, but also in lifestyles, whereupon a traditional view of ‘the rural’ and, consequently, of ‘rural development’ no longer holds. Accordingly, EU’s 2007-2013 Rural Development policy (RDP) is one framework to incorporate aspects labelled as quality of life (QOL) alongside traditional rural tenets. With a new rendition of the RDP underway, this paper scopes the content and extent of the expired RDP regarding its incorporation of QOL, in order to better identify considerations for future policy making. Using novel methodology called topic modelling, a series of latent semantic structures within the RDP could be unravelled and re-interpreted via a dual categorization system based on RDP’s own view on QOL, and on definitions provided by independent research. Corroborated by other audits, the findings indicate a thematic overemphasis on agriculture, with the focus on QOL being largely insignificant. Such results point to a rationale different than the assumed one, at the same time reinforcing an outdated view of rurality in the face of the ostensibly fundamental turn towards viewing rural areas in a wider, more humanistic, perspective. This unexpected issue of underrepresentation is next addressed through three possible drivers: conceptual (lingering productionist view of the rural), ideological (capitalist prerogative preventing non-pecuniary values from entering policy) and material (institutional lock-ins incapable of accommodating significant deviations from an agricultural focus). The paper ends with a critical discussion and some reflections on the broader concept of rurality.

The article substantiates the need for effective state regulation of rural development, since overcoming the crisis requires both the mobilization of significant resources and the introduction of effective regulatory methods. The functions of state regulation of rural development are outlined and the relationship with the problems of rural development identified. The main problems of the modern village from the point of view of sustainable development are considered, which takes into account the real unity and interaction of the basic structural elements of rural territories.It has been found that effective state regulation of rural development should be based on a system of principles that should take into account the specific features of rural areas as an object of state regulation. The directions of actions of the authorities within each principle are determined. It is substantiated that the effectiveness of regulation of rural development depends on the mechanisms of state influence on their development. The instruments, methods and methods of action of the state authorities in terms of each mechanism are considered. It is noted that the peculiarities of state regulation of rural development lay in the real unity of their basic structural elements: economic base, social and environmental spheres. Characteristics of such components of rural population as "quality of life" and "standard of living" are given, as well as terms used in the conceptual and conceptual field of quality of life research. The analysis of scientific works on the quality and standard of living of the population revealed the components that are most commonly used in its assessment at the regional level. The concept of "state regulation of rural development" is formulated. It is substantiated that the necessity of state regulation of rural territories implies the use of functional- territorial system of public administration, which will allow to ensure optimal interaction between public authorities and local self-government.

The national agenda consistently prioritised the rural development and poverty eradications in Malaysia. The Rural Transformation Programme from 2016 till 2020 outlines six focus areas namely, Rural Infrastructure, Youth Development, Economy, Entrepreneurship, Human Capital and Delivery System. Guided by these principles, the strategies and programmes for rural development and poverty eradication have focused on increasing the productivity as well as improving the quality of life. The objective of this research is to evaluate the level of usage and satisfaction towards facilities provided for youth living in the rural areas. The study areas selected are Jengka, Pahang and Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. The variables for the assessment include adequacy ratio, usage satisfaction, accessibility and maintenance of existing public facilities. The results were analysed to measure the level of provision of public facilities provided for the youth who are living in rural areas. It was found that public facilities including multipurpose hall, public library, mosque, temple and church are provided in both study areas. However, their usage among the youth was rather discouraging, except for mosque, musolla and church.

In the modern socio-ecological and economic life of Ukraine, rural areas occupy a special place; they are an integral part of the agricultural sphere, because they are home to more than a third of the population of our country. These areas are characterized by an exceptional contribution to the formation of food security. Increasing the country’s export potential makes the development of rural areas one of the main priorities of Ukraine’s state policy, which aims to raise living standards of the rural population, increase the efficiency of the agro-industrial complex, improve the environment and improve the quality of life of peasants. However, prior to land reform, monitoring of agricultural land on former collective and state farms was conducted at the state level, and residential areas where the population grew for their own needs were never surveyed. And according to the population itself, no standards for the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers have ever been observed. Many years of research conducted at the Institute of Agroecology and Nature Management of NAAS found that in the residential area of rural settlements drinking water is contaminated with nitrates, vegetable products — nitrates and heavy metals, which indicates the need for monitoring in the residential area. Modern ecological assessment of rural settlements remains relevant, unrealized and requires regular research, socio-ecological monitoring and scientific substantiation of their ecologically balanced development. Intensification of agricultural production, reduction of forests and forest belts, intensive plowing of lands, intensification of water and wind erosion processes, drainage of swamps, migration and reduction of the number of experienced rural population have led to degradation of Ukraine’s agrosphere. The analysis of modern strategies of development of rural territorial communities has shown that in none of them the ecological nature protection aspect is taken into account (at best, socio-economic one, and usually — just economic development). This indicates that community leaders are not properly trained to perform their current community development functions, taking into account environmental security and policies. The still low ecological culture and consciousness of the rural population of Ukraine inhibits the civilized development of rural areas and with it the quality of life of the population in these areas.
