Problems and Prospects of Management of Rural Development

Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to study problems of rural development management, to analyse the effectiveness of management of the resource potential of rural areas, and to study the socio-economic priorities of their development, as well as to determine the justified ways of their solution in modern conditions. Methodology. The system approach to studying the development of rural areas makes it possible to consider components in the relationship between themselves and interaction with components of other systems. The state, problems, and prospects of rural development management are considered. The necessity of significant changes in the state policy of rural management is determined. It is substantiated that the current trends in the development of rural areas of Ukraine take place in the direction of narrowing the sphere of application of labour and the mismatch of professional and skilled workers' quality to the needs of employers, and the growth of unemployment. The results showed that the revival of rural areas depends primarily on the level of economic development of the country. Multifunctional development of the village should be carried out taking into account the integrated approach to solving the problems of the agrarian complex, villages, rural areas in general, through the combination of interests of inhabitants of rural areas, rural communities, local government, and the state, applying social and economic levers of regulation of the relevant relations in conjunction with the organizational and legal ones. The subject of the research is the mechanisms for managing the development of rural areas. The emphasis is made on the imperfection of the modern mechanism of the financial and economic provision of rural development management, in particular, regarding the distribution of state budget funds in this area.

The main problem is outlined that the financial situation of rural residents in terms of the unstable development of all spheres of the country's economy is more complicated than that of the urban population. It is emphasized that the current state of social and economic infrastructure of rural areas confirms the existence of a deep crisis. Taking into account the condition and problems of rural development and modern European traditions in this area, it is proposed to finance the management of rural development using three sources -the state budget, local budget, and rural development funds. Potential sources of the formation of local budget funds, which will be directed to ensuring issues of management of rural development and rural development funds, are determined. Specific directions for the use of funds of each of the mentio...

“…Then, four owners instead of rushing everywhere with the idea of the cooperative took up the real cases: they began to buy together basic resources, to arrange logistics and to unite consignments of goods. An important element of cooperation was the exchange of experience" (Tomashuk, 2017).…”

Factores de desarrollo local desde el enfoque de la gestión organizativa

New Holistic Strategy of Sustainable Rural Development Management-Experience from Indonesia: A PESTEL-SOAR Analysis

“…A village has an important role in the economy of a country because it is a major supplier of food raw materials for households and industries [7]. Hence, the successful village/rural development is often associated with the successful utilization of agricultural potential so that the main focus of village development is more on the dominance of the role of agricultural sector [8].…”

“…Previous research related to village development can be divided into two focus groups: first, research that is still at the level of concepts regarding ideal village development, village development management, and the reasons of why village development are important; second, research related to case studies of the implementation of village/rural development. First, research related to ideal village development, village development management, and the reasons of why village development is important have been carried out by Jenkins [5]; Akgün et al [6]; Tomashuk [7]; and Koopmans et al [8]. Second, research related to case studies of the implementation of village development in a country have been done by Courtney et al [9]; Popescu [10]; and Chen et al [11].…”
