Problem setting. In the direction of balanced regional development, the state has the opportunity to use such a direct lever of influence on the process as strategic planning. At present stage of reforming of the system of public administration of regional development, its role and importance are especially growing, because strategic planning makes it possible to predict the further development of territories. General purpose of strategic planning is to move to indicative forecasting, information support for objective management decisions at the regional, local and national levels, including concerning increase and effective realization of resource potential of the region, overcoming of depression of territories, realization of structural transformations. Recent research and publications analysis. Issues related to regional development are covered in works of such scholars as E. Alaev, G. Balabanov, P.Bubenko, Z. Varnalii, S. Haluza, Z. Herasymchuk, А. Holikov, H. Huberna, M.Dolishnii, L. Zaitseva, U. Ipatov, B. Kliianenko, V. Kravtsiv, O. Krainyk, N.Kuznetsov, L. Kuzmenko, A. Mazur, T. Maksymova, A. Marshalova, S.Melnyk, І. Mykhasiuk, N. Mikula, Y. Navruzov, O. Novoselov, V. Symonenko, D. Stechenko, H. Stolbov, L. Taranhul, S. Tiahlov, V. Khodachek, L. Chervona, М. Chumachenko, B. Shtulberh, M. Yankiv and others. Taking into account the significant achievements of the scholars in the field of regional studies, insufficiently complete and in-depth study of the issues of strategic planning of regional development is still worth emphasizing. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. The main purpose of the article was to present a wide range of results of the study on the analysis of the problem and to justify the prospects of strategic planning of regional development. Paper main body. Public administration of regional development in Ukraine should take into account basic trends of reforming processes in the European Union. Like in European countries, in Ukraine there are normative documents, which frame the strategic planning, i.e. there is every reason to talk about the functioning of the regional development planning system. The main components of this system include: strategic plans for socio-economic development; spatial plans of territorial development (schemes of planning of the territory of the region, general plans and town-planning documentation of settlements); medium-term plans for socio-economic development of the region and targeted development programs for certain areas of activity; short-term programs of socio-economic development. Strategic, medium-term and short-term program documents of socio-economic development of the region are related to creating a favorable environment for the development of the regional economy and citizens' life, meeting basic needs of business sector and people in various services, forming competitive advantages to enter outer markets, stimulation of entrepreneurial activity, active attraction of investments, development of various sectors of economy, etc. Spatial plans of different levels relate to the development of the territory as an object of implementation of urban policy of local authorities, they are tied to a specific space. Therefore, we can talk about two types of program documents. Both types are closely interrelated, contribute to improving the efficiency of the territory, but differ from each other. Today, in the field of strategic planning of regional development in Ukraine there are many problems resulting from the lack of a comprehensive system of strategic planning of regional development in the country. In particular, these are the following: inconsistencies between different strategic and planning documents; lack of clear links between planning documents and the budget; lack of a unified approach to planning, uncertainty of the status of sertain strategic documents, political and legal consequences of their non-implementation; inefficient system of public policy evaluation; lack of responsibility for making ineffective management decisions. The main directions of strategic planning were identified: intellectual growth of territories, which involves economic development based on the growing development of production infrastructure, knowledge, research, inventions, patents and innovations, i.e. reorientation of regional economies to an innovative model of development; sustainable and continuous growth of territories for creation of an economy based on the efficient use of resources, in particular, environmental resources, and increasing the efficiency of use of natural resources, economic potential of the region; comprehensive growth of living standards through the development of social infrastructure, increasing employment, human resources development and achievement of social well-being; increasing the investment attractiveness of regions and intensifying innovation activity therein, as well as increasing the competitiveness of regions. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Strategic planning of regional development is a powerful tool to unite the interests of the public, local business and local authorities, which has a positive impact on the business climate, community welfare, and competitive position of the territory. It is a creative process of defining strategic directions and agreeing on realistic goals and objectives, implementation of which will help to achieve a better future. ; Розглянуто проблеми стратегічного планування регіонального розвитку.

Problem setting. The system of public administration is a complex set of related elements and entities that interact with each other, so the manifestation of negative corruption minimizes the possibility of achieving positive results in the process of these communications. Special attention should be paid to the functioning of the customs system, which is an important part of the national economy of Ukraine. In this area, corruption abuses are extremely pronounced, given the peculiarities of the customs industry. This problem is acute and urgent, as its existence causes the progression of those negative phenomena that are currently present in the customs system of Ukraine and reduce the effectiveness of public administration in general.Recent research and publications analysis. The issue of corruption in the context of public administration is the subject of research by many scientists: V.Averyanov, O.Antonova, V.Bashtannyk, Y.Bytyak, I.Borodin, A.Vasyliev, I.Golosnichenko, E.Dodin, L.Koval, V.Kolpakov, A.Komzyuk, N.Lypovska, V.Olefir, O.Ostapenko, I.Pakhomov, O.Petrenko, S.Seryogin, I.Khozhylo, V.Shamray, H.Yarmaki etc. Given the wide range of researchers who study the specifics of corruption in the context of public administration, it is worth noting the significant gaps in the assessment of this issue from a sectoral perspective. In particular, it should be noted the great need to study corruption in customs and find ways to minimize this shameful phenomenon in modern conditions.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. The need to analyze corruption processes in the customs authorities and substantiate offers for anti-corruption actions in the field of public administration led to the choice of the topic of the article.Paper main body. Corruption in the general sense can be defined as the illegal activity of persons called to perform the functions of the state, in the form of misuse of their powers in order to obtain benefits by increasing their material wealth, obtaining illegal services or benefits.Global trends indicate the presence of corruption in all countries, so this issue is a priority in solving all spheres of life, both developed and developing countries. In particular, public administration of European countries in the political, informational, institutional and legal context is aimed at combating corruption. To this end, there are such institutions common to EU countries as Greco, the Venice Commission, Olaf, Eurojust, Europol and others. At the interstate level, they coordinate and provide information and analytical support for anti-corruption measures, develop common legal standards in the form of community regulations.In the field of public administration, there is a sufficient legal resource on the basis of which it is possible to ensure anti-corruption policy in the state and, in particular, in the customs sphere. However, the customs system is characterized by a wide range of unresolved issues related to corruption abuses. Accordingly, there is a need to develop offers for overcoming and preventing corruption: development and implementation in the practice of customs authorities of methodological recommendations relating to their employees and aimed at resolving conflicts related to corruption; observance by customs officers of relevant ethical norms, which must harmonize with anti-corruption activities; effective application of responsibility to those guilty of corruption and comprehensive implementation of measures aimed at combating corruption; clear identification of those responsible for corruption in areas where there is a high risk of such abuses; regulation of procedures aimed at preventing corruption of customs officers in the performance of their official duties.Anti-corruption in customs authorities in the context of ensuring the effectiveness of public administration should include the implementation of the following measures: development of conceptual foundations of anti-corruption policy in the customs sphere; adopt a Code of Ethics for Customs Officers in accordance with the needs of anti-corruption policy; effective implementation of the principle of equality before the law in the context of reducing corruption; ensuring equal responsibility for corrupt actions not only for individuals but also for legal entities; ensure the absence of immunity from corrupt practices for officials, including senior executives; delimit the powers of bodies engaged in anti-corruption activities; to intensify the public to combat corruption; wide informing of the public about cases of corruption in customs bodies.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. The problem of corruption in public authorities is a long-standing and painful issue in Ukraine. This problem is especially acute in the activities of customs authorities, as their activities are directly related to foreign economic activity, significant flows of goods and flows of financial resources across the customs border of the state. In turn, this is a direct threat to the country's national security. Given the fact that Ukraine ranks relatively low in global rankings on the existence of corruption abuses, it is necessary to take decisive measures to reduce the manifestations of this phenomenon, in particular, in the customs authorities. ; Обґрунтовано потребу протидії корупції в митних органах у контексті забезпечення ефективності публічного управління.

The Institute of Public Services is a determining factor in the development of civil society and an indicator of the effectiveness and efficiency of public administration. An aspire of the Ukrainian state to implement the European integration course involves significant reforming in the system of public services performance, as the absence of democratic traditions in the relationship between government structures and society and also the shortcomings of the public administration system lead to levelling the overall image of the state on the world stage and the decrease of social and economic development of society. Therefore, the regulation of public services, their content and types within the context of public administration requires completeness in accordance with contemporary challenges and the need for reforming pursuant to the European integration aspirations of the Ukrainian state.Recent research and publications analysis. Issues connected with essence and particularities of public services are raised in the publications of such scientists as V. Averianov, V. Vakulenko, I. Venedyktova, V. Harashchuk, N. Hnydiuk, I.

Sharov and other. However, the development of scientific idea, the expansion of terminological tools and the need to take into account the world's experience encourages the deepening of research works on understanding of the public services and their place in the system of public administration at the present stage of Ukrainian society development.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. The purpose of this article is to assess the degree of scientific development of the concept of public services, clarify the concept and essence of these services, as well as the algorithm for their implementation, and determine the role of public services in ensuring the quality of public administration.Paper main body. Public services are provided not only by public authorities, but also by regional and local, as well as various organizations and associations, which are established by legislation that determines their universality, flexibility and complexity. It is the regionalization that makes it possible to distinguish public services from purely state ones, significantly expanding the understanding of given concept and enabling consumers to receive more specific types of services.The concept of "public services" is much more wide-ranging and involves much more components and interactions than "state services", as they can be provided by both governmental and non-governmental structures. The process of providing the public services is a complex system based on components that harmonize with each other. At the same time, it is necessary to follow the sequence of decision-making, providing particular services to the consumers. The peculiarity of this process is that the managers in such case are not only the state and its authorities, but also non-governmental structures, but all of them must act in a coordinated and purposeful manner for the interests of the state and its population.Public services in the field of public administration should be considered as a set of focused actions of state and municipal government authorities, enterprises, citizens and their associations, public organizations and other state entities, which are authorized under the applicable law to provide services, the aim of which is to meet requirements and basic needs of natural and legal persons and full-fledged social and economic development of the state.The availability of public services provides the cooperation of public authorities and those entities that receive such services by purposeful, full-fledged and reasonable public administration, which is intended to guarantee high-quality consumer services. The quality of administrative public actions in this particular case provides the result, which is expressed in meeting the basic requirements of those who need them, regardless of political, economic, social, cultural, mental and other circumstances, the development of the legal framework, etc.Public services is a complex concept that can be viewed from many points of view and different perspectives by many scientists and researchers. The existence of this concept is due to the objective circumstances of the development of modern society, whereby it must operate on the basis of democracy and taking into account the interests of all members of society. Service consumers must have guarantees of receiving all necessary services from the state, which will give them confidence in the future meeting of their requirements and successful self-perfection. A wide range of public services in a particular country testifies to its civilized and progressive development and also the ability to confidently face up to the challenges that constantly arise at the present stage of civilization development.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. The complex procedure of providing public services in the field of public administration permits to claim that they are aimed to solve many problems that modern society faces. Meanwhile, they are not a strictly prerogative of the state, as this concept is more wide-ranging than the state services. The ability of non-governmental entities to provide public services indicates a high level of public administration and steady development of the state as a whole.

It was traced that the USA regional policy appeared in the process of combating the economic problems, in particular, the unemployment, in contrast to Europe, where the initiative came from the political group unified by the criticism of excess decentralization, overcoming the disproportions of the economic development, etc. Paper main body. It is determined that the country's social strategy is aimed at the creation of conditions for the social interests development, the national integrity, since without providing for the economic security it is impossible to solve any issue both at the intrastate and foreign-policy level. The main priorities of the stable development strategy are as follows: Social sphere (insurance of the high level of the population welfare through changing the acting standards); ecological sphere (preservation and further improvement of the environmental conditions); economic sphere (improvement of current economic processes efficiency). We considered the issue of regionalism in 2 aspects, mainly, in the international aspect – as a process of building the integration structures in the separate group of states in certain regions or subregions of the world, which is exemplified by the European integration process embraced by the institutional framework of the European Union and at the state level – activity for the purpose of supporting the development of certain regions of the country, frequently cross-border regions, through the relevant regional policy, both within the state and with the support of the integration super-national structures.It is determined that the modernization and the similar phenomena, such as industrialization, urbanization lead to the depression of the "local nationalisms" and regionalisms, to the weakening or disappearance of the regional or local communities being substituted by the ethnic groups not subject to the future modernization processes. The increased social mobility causes the growth of the internal differentiation of separate territorial formations, groups, as well as their uneven development, which leads to the growth of tension and dissatisfaction within their relations.It is researched that the efficient social policy of the EU countries is oriented towards the social work of support and insurance, as well as the people's participation in the discussion, development and making the vital social decisions. During the formation of the regional development policy much attention should be given to the strategic planning and strategic management. The national social programs are realized with the help of the public components of the regional policy with regard to the peculiarities of the given region. The public interests will allow developing the programs, which embrace the problems of the region to the greatest extent and will be aimed at the solution of these problems.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. It is summarized that each EU State forms its own regional policy, with regard to the level of its socio-economic development and national priorities. The use the the regional policy instruments depends much upon the potential of the regions, territorial characteristic features of their development, peculiarities of the regional issues, the level of government control decentralization and the level of the regional autonomy. Generally, the regional development of the Ukrainian population is not developed as much as in the West and Central European Countries, and, thus, for the regional developmentthe system of institutions should be created which could satisfy the public interests, improve the level of life and social warranties.
