Technologies for public initiative implementing in decision-making by local governance institutions

Abstract

A study of the relationship «government-society» was conducted to determine the level of stability in society with democratic regulation of the interaction of local authorities and local civil society institutions of communities, which is a necessary condition for the formation of a legally valid system of local governance. An analysis was conducted of ensuring the capacity of territorial communities with the participation of all local civil society institutions to solve urgent problems with the rational use of the available resource potential of the territory in order to provide high-quality and effective public services with the participation of residents in making government decisions and taking into account the interests of all groups of the community’s population. A list of recommendations to civil society institutions was determined to involve the main tools for activating life in communities, jointly solving urgent problems and creating real opportunities for the development of territories. The conditions for rational public influence on local authorities and comprehensive solutions to territorial development issues with the support of local authorities in local development planning, the formation of a data bank of public initiative projects, the mandatory prioritization of strategic projects, the creation and support of information systems of territorial communities for effective development management are determined. Measures are proposed for the equal distribution of powers among social groups in the presence of legal channels of influence on activities, the structuring of communicative elements with typical functions of interaction of local government structures with public institutions using dialogical forms of communication and contractual partnership.
