One of the priority tasks of the Decentralization Reform is to create conditions for the mobilization of sufficient financial resources in order to ensure the functioning and development of the relevant territorial community and its local budget. The ultimate goal of the reform is to form self – sufficient territorial communities with financially sound budgets and a high level of financial independence. In such conditions, when local budgets ' own revenues are limited, the development budget plays a leading role in financing the community. The development budget is one of the indicators for assessing the quality of life in territorial communities because it provides financing for infrastructure and the quality of local services, which ultimately determine the growth of the local economy as a whole. However, the revenue side of the development budgets of local budgets in Ukraine, even taking into account certain positive changes enshrined in the new version of the Budget code, is not able to meet the financial needs of territories in budget investments in the current conditions. Given this, the problems of using development budget funds as part of the special fund of local budgets do not lose their relevance today. Therefore, the article is devoted to substantiating the importance of the development budget and assessing potential directions for its use. The scientific work reveals theoretical approaches to defining the essence of the concept of "development budget", its role and purpose. The key role of the development budget in financing the city's infrastructure is outlined. Directions and areas of allocation of development budget funds in accordance with the current legislation are considered. The total amount of expenditures of the Lviv development budget is determined. The analysis and evaluation of the directions of using funds from the Lviv development budget was carried out. Expenditures of the Lviv development budget at the expense of subventions from the state and regional budgets are considered. Based on the analysis, the priority tasks necessary for further improvement of the expenditure system of the development budget are indicated.

Sustainable development constitutes a paradigm which is to respond to the risks of our times (environmental, social and economic ones). It is based on the necessity to use resources in a way which will not deprive future generations of them. Such a development seeks to improve the quality of life of the community while maintaining social equality, diversity and the wealth of natural resources. It can be perceived as a broader social change which Jeremy Rifkin called “the third industrial revolution”, and whose symptoms can be seen today. Within the scope of this concept, there is the social entrepreneurship that, through the market activities, focuses on the social mission. Such a mission may concern a number of issues, such as social re-integration, fighting exclusion, or environment protection. Taking into account the importance of human resources, the social capital and economic efficiency of these enterprises and simultaneously focusing on environmental efforts, constitute a practical dimension of the sustainable development in local communities. One of the social cooperatives operating in the Opole voivodship is a good example here.

The article is about the conception of sustainable development settled in the context of cultural and civilization changes. It can be taken as an alternative to further civilization development and a new panorama, opening up perspectives for the further sustainable development of civilization. The conception is a global strategy of development. It relies on the including of the natural environment into the social and economic development of a region, country or, from a global perspective, of the whole world. It assumes a long-lasting improvement of the quality of life of the present and future generations which is integrally associated with environmental improvement. It also shows the necessity of the spiritual growth and changes of the material aims of the development into immaterial ones. In all these aims and assumptions, there are a lot of practical and mental problems in the sphere of sustainable development which retard and even make it impossible to put these conceptions effectively into life.
