Analyzing the Modern Practice of Elaboration of Regional Development Strategies in Ukraine on the Basis of Problem-Oriented Approach
Abstract
The article is concerned with generalization of modern practice of development of regional development strategies in Ukraine and substantiation of the advantages of implementing a problem-oriented approach to the process of strategizing the socio-economic development of regions of Ukraine. The methodological principles of implementation of problem-oriented approach in the process of strategizing the socio-economic development of regions of Ukraine for identification of problems and problematic situations of regional development and determination of strategic and operational goals on this basis are researched. The results of the study showed that the regions of Ukraine regulate socio-economic development using the regional development strategies; as of 2020, all regions of Ukraine have developed strategies for socio-economic development for the period up to 2027. Analysis of these documents showed that the process of identifying the problems of socio-economic and ecological development of region requires improvement, since there is currently no clear identification of problems in the existent strategies. Despite the lack of a clear list of regional development problems, all strategies contain a system of strategic and operational goals, but not all regions specify the indicators of their achievement. Also, not all of the analyzed regional development strategies contain substantiation for defining goals based on the analysis of the problems of socio-economic and ecological development of region. Prospect for further research is to improve the methodological principles of identification of problems of socio-economic and ecological development and implement them into the practice of developing regional strategies.
