The culture has always been funded residually. And now funding continues to be made available to address the immediate needs of communities. Subventions received by communities as part of the reform were aimed at road mending, renovating municipal equipment, water suppling, and upgrading. As a result, it is impossible to maintain cultural institutions and provide quality cultural services to the population in less well-off communities. This may result in depressed territories being left without cultural facilities, cultural programs and projects. Another problem that exists in villages, towns and small towns is the so-called «staff shortage». Low wages and lack of professional prospects in rural areas don’t help involvement of experts to work for positions in the field of culture. In the more capable ATCs, as well as in the communities that have become the centers of the community, there is often at least a team of the director, the artistic director, the circle leaders who organize the cultural life in the community. But in small villages, in houses of culture, the enthusiasm of only one person who has worked in this position all his life is still held. This person is at the same time a director, artistic director, head of all circles, and sometimes a technical worker. According to R. Yu. Mylian, increased attention to solving problems of the sociocultural development of rural settlements will contribute to the preservation and development of cultural institutions in rural areas, prevent the outflow of the working and most educated population, especially young people, and will eventually strengthen the sustainable development potential of Ukraine as a whole. The organization and holding of mass cultural events in rural areas is an effective means of strengthening the competitiveness of rural areas, enhances the development of cultural interregional and cross-border cooperation, event-tourism and has a positive impact on the branding of rural settlements as tourist attractions. To address the above issues, is invited to identify an approach whereby a State, acting by the Culture Ministry, will develop standards for the minimum volume and quality of cultural services, compliance with which will be mandatory for local governments in communities. This may occur by defining and establishing a set of basic services guaranteed by the State and financed from the State budget. For the normal functioning of State culture, it is necessary to establish a new concept of these institutions activities in the ATC, to provide for tax exemption by legal acts and to clearly define the types of services provided by cultural activity.

Introduction. In recent years, forms of funding and state support of rural settlements have been gradually transformed due to the mechanisms of project management. The study is of relevance due to the emerging commitment of regional and municipal authorities to use domestic tourism as a source of raising funds for socio-economic development. The purpose of the article is to reveal regional factors in the effective implementation of tourism programs in the context of coordinating the interests of cultural institutions and authorities. Materials and Methods. The study was based on semi-structured interviews with officers of the ministries of the Udmurt Republic and directors of major museums in the city of Izhevsk. Results. It has been established that the system of organization of activities in rural cultural institutions impedes productive segregation of duties and effective funding of cultural and tourist projects. The need to improve the mechanism of interaction between culture centers and local authorities has been revealed. In the situation when cultural institutions are experiencing a shortage of funding, implementation of a cultural project depends on the support from local governments. The study has shown that the heads of districts and municipalities do not always have sufficient budget funds, but can arrange for assistance from business entities. In this regard, coordination of the activities of rural cultural institutions and travel companies is of great importance. Discussion and Conclusion. Combination of two factors is necessary for the successful development of intraregional tourism: the problems of tourism infrastructure should be the object of governmental regulation; regional legislation should be improved to harmonize the interests of stakeholders in the fields of culture and tourism. The results of the study are of practical importance and can be used both by heads of rural settlement, directors of culture centers to substantiate tasks focused on the development of specific villages, and by representatives of regional ministries and departments for managerial decision-making in the region.

AbstractFollowing the completion of the process of decentralisation of public administration in Poland in 2003, a number of tasks implemented previously by the state authorities were transferred to the local level. One of the most significant changes to the financing and management methods of the local authorities was the transfer of tasks related to culture and national heritage to the set of tasks implemented by local governments. As a result of the decentralisation process, the local government units in Poland were given significant autonomy in determining the purposes of their budgetary expenditures on culture. At the same time, they were obliged to cover these expenses from their own revenues.This paper focuses on the analysis of expenditures on culture covered by the voivodship budgets, taking into consideration the structure of cultural institutions by their types, between 2003-2015. The location quotient (LQ) was applied to two selected years (2006 and 2015) to illustrate the diversity of expenditures on culture in individual voivodships.

Many Indonesians—primarily those living in rural areas—still follow customary law (adat). The precise rules and processes of that adat differ significantly from place to place, even within short distances. This chapter shows that for many decades, adat has been subservient to national law. State-made law overrode it, leaving it applicable only in a very small proportion of cases where no national law applied, where judges could apply it as ‘living law’. Even in these cases, many judges ignored adat or distorted it when deciding cases. The 1945 Constitution was amended in 2000 to require the state to formally recognize and respect customary law, as practised in traditional communities. The Constitutional Court has given effect to this in various judicial review cases, as have some statutes enacted in the past decade or so. However, this constitutional and statutory ‘protection’ has been impeded in practice by requirements for traditional communities to be formally ‘recognized’ by their local governments, many of whom have been unresponsive to calls for recognition.

with carrying out the decentralization reform public administration mechanisms play an important role in ensuring the comprehensive development of rural areas. Expanding the use of such mechanisms in the sphere of cooperation on the state level will facilitate development and support of small entrepreneurial forms, common use of material and technical basis, emerging new working places, building social infrastructure and engineering communications, providing qualitative services to citizens and preserving rural settlements. The objective of the article is to identify constituents of the comprehensive mechanism of public administration for development of service cooperation of rural areas in Ukraine and to integrate them into a coherent system which would facilitate realization of the state strategies and programmes to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The object of the research is a comprehensive mechanism of public administration for development of service cooperation. Research methodology is grounded upon the use of general scientific knowledge methods, in particular, logical and semantic, induction and deduction for formulating definitions, systemic and situational analysis for characterizing constituents of a comprehensive mechanism and identifying their interrelations. Based on the systemic approach it has been defined that comprehensive mechanism is an integrated system which combines interrelated and dependable functioning of legislative, institutional, organisational and economic, financial and credit, information and communication as well as staffing mechanisms in the sphere of developing cooperative movement in the rural localities. It is proved that every mechanism influences its particular direction and is formed at the international, national, regional and local levels based on cooperative values and generalized system of principles. Special attention is paid to the research of international and national legislation to generalize the system of principles of cooperation, intermunicipal cooperation, public authorities and public associations’ functioning, upon which the comprehensive mechanism for public administration of service cooperation development in rural areas of Ukraine is based.

Young generations are those who make lives livelier and happier, who design the future and make the change, the ones with full hope and enthusiasm to go further and make the impossible possible. As every country of Europe, Asia or America, Albania as well is surrounded by a very fruitful young ladies and gentlemen's. This paper aims to analyse the changes of the youth development in Albania during the transition period. The young development in Albania has faced many problems, such as the difference between the levels of development of the youths that live in the other cities of Albania with the ones of the capital. Rural areas and small towns are closed where a portion of youth in minor are totally dependent from family, and they are exactly that with their weak hands are inclined to do the heavy work to keep their family one more day alive. Youth at the opening of the borders, generally tended to leave towards legal immigration either as tourist or in illegal opportunities addressing major countries like Britain, Greece, Italy, Belgium etc. Albania needs to make arrangements which will be financed by businessmen, private universities in cooperation with the state to offer young people opportunities to work together and to be closer to each other and to show their skills in conversation competitions. At the same time the state has other open universities in backward areas which will provide young entrepreneurs' with more opportunities for young people to graduate and to serve different areas. Meanwhile, there is needed a strategy to separate the fields in which there is a need to have more expert in the field which is required to work also which would come more to help the country's economy with the addition of experts. Albania is a country blessed where high mountains finish in seas, where groundwater resources are numerous, and with a conductive climate to produce almost all kinds of fruits and where vegetation is very diverse. If the youth will be directed towards learning of foreign languages and in recognition of their territories, traditions and customs, thus, we would make a big step because tourism market is precisely the kind of market where young people will find themselves more comfortable than ever, where the labour force will be insufficient paid and where the demand for products would be required as the number of tourists would be great and just the requirements would change in terms of application areas during the summer as it would be for beaches and seasonal fruits, while during the winter for skiing and mountain tourism.

We study one of the varieties of legal nihilism – the legal nihilism of civil servants, which undermines the role of law as the main regulator of public relations, harms the socio-economic, moral, cultural and other activities of the state. We analyze official statistical data confirming the prevalence of legal nihilism among civil servants, which arises in the field of administrative management and replaces legalized public relations. We point out that the personnel policy is one of the ways to minimize the legal nihilism of civil servants, since it determines the effectiveness of the implementation of goals and tasks facing civil servants. In accordance with the regulatory legal acts, the basic requirements for the formation of the personnel of the civil service are analyzed. We substantiate that one of the effective means to reduce the level of legal nihilism among civil servants may be the adoption of a unified Concept of personnel policy in the field of public service, fixing the funda-mental principles (principles, areas of activity, goals, objectives, strategy for the formation of personnel of public servants), as well as the creation of ap-propriate Concepts in each department, taking into account the specifics of the functions being implemented. We note that only consistent and competent actions can have a positive impact.

Abstract The processes of flooding of the territory of settlements cause significant economic damage to the national economy. Up-to-date space information provides research on flooding over large areas. Analysis of the dynamics of flooding in the Khabarovsk Region for 2016-2019 using remote sensing methods and statistical data analysis showed that the optimal software product for processing multi-time satellite images is the MapInfo Professional GIS application. It is established that the dynamics of the areas of flooded land in settlements has similar trends, significantly differing in quantitative indicators. The most favorable year was 2017, when the least amount of land was affected by flooding. In 2019, the amount of flooded land was the maximum. 2016 and 2018 occupy an intermediate position. The proportion of flooded land was the highest in large and medium-sized cities, the lowest in rural settlements, and the small towns occupied an intermediate position due to the landscape and geographical features of the research objects. The relative decline in the value of the territory environmental potential (EFP) was also the highest in large and medium-sized cities, and the lowest in rural areas. According to the years, the increase in the temporary decline in EFP due to flooding and withdrawal from economic use of land is as follows: 2017-2016-2018-2019, which is due to the dynamics of the hydrological and climatic characteristics of these years.

The study deals with the formation of a model of sustainable and effective development of agriculture and rural areas as the main task of implementing the State agricultural policy. The relevance of the tasks set by the author lies in considering the living conditions in the countryside as an integrated approach to the country's economy in order to diversify the types of activities in rural areas, create new sources of income. The directions representing a new economic paradigm of rural development in Kazakhstan are justified. The ways of implementing a comprehensive policy are shown, which consists in the partnership of public structures, local governments, public organizations and private sector, so that in the future, rural areas will become the most important socioeconomic and ecological subsystem of society. One of the key issues in the development of a model of modernization of the Kazakh countryside - the methodology for assessing the strategy and taken measures are highlighted. It is noted that monitoring of a wide variety of regional situations in rural settlements is of great scientific importance in creating a reliable and objective basis for developing substantiated measures to improve the quality of life of the rural population and determining priorities. The author states that the implementation of the "Auyl - El besigi" program contributes to the development of support and satellite villages, which have the potential to increase the level of life and well-being of rural residents, modernize the social infrastructure of the SNP JSC "Fund for Financial Support of Agriculture" allocated significant amounts to ensure employment of the rural population. The program condition in the funded projects should be startups, proposals for non-agricultural areas of expansion of activities in rural areas.

Introduction. Extinguishing fires in remote areas of rural areas of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is carried out not only by the State Fire Service, but also by volunteer fire brigades. The most important problem in extinguishing fires is the lack of fire stations in all rural settlements, which negatively affects the timely extinguishing of the fire. The problem that firefighters face when extinguishing is also considered. This is a shortage of water in the winter period of the year. Goals and objectives. The purpose of this article is to systematize the work of volunteer fire brigades (DPD), to give a clear idea of the significance of this formation. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: firstly, to describe the work and tasks of the organization of a volunteer fire brigade, and secondly, to assess the availability of knowledge, skills, and weapons with which the DPD can effectively affect the extinguishing of a fire. Methods. Volunteer fire brigades in the Far North with a shortage of water can use a method of mechanical impact on flames. Mechanical impact is understood as procedures aimed at limiting the spread and extinguishing a fire. Results and its discussion. To date, the formation of volunteer fire brigades in the regions of the Far North is developing, they focus on preventive measures to protect against fires, on rapid response and elimination of fire. Conclusions. A volunteer fire brigade (DPD) for settlements where there is no fire station is a rescue from fires and fires. The DPD can either independently participate in extinguishing a fire, or help the state fire service in extinguishing it. The DPD performs the same functions and tasks as the state fire service. The DPD has the means to cope with small fires. To extinguish large fires, DPD requires funding, which can be provided by entrepreneurs of the village, local residents, as well as the municipality of the district.

The article reviews new rules on allotment of land plots to citizens and legal persons. The State Duma included these rules into the Land Code of the Russian Federation in summer 2014. Now they have come into force. The article focuses on the following issues. 1. How do these rules affect the land legislation in general? 2. What are the changes in the powers of public authorities of subjects of the Russian Federation and bodies of local self-government in regulating the order of land plots’ allotment and in implementation of such allotment? 3. How justified is the fact that now auctions are the only possible form of a land tender? The author believes that it is necessary to preserve competitive bidding for cases when same agricultural land plots are allotted to citizens and legal entities. Also there remains a problem associated with the transfer of power on allotment of lands from local governments of municipal areas to the level of rural settlements.
