The article considers the features of public relations in local self-government bodies. It is proved that the level of social management directly depends on the specifics of the functioning of public relations services at the local level. The main PR goals for local self-government bodies are defined. A number of trends in the development of public relations of local self-government are clarified: the first trend is their institutionalization, including regulatory and organizational design. The second trend is the expansion of the information and communication resource based on modern technical means and social technologies. The third trend can be considered the formation of information and analytical support for public relations, which is the basis for information and analytical activities of local self – government bodies. It is proved that an absolute transition to symmetrical two-way communications between local authorities and the population is quite possible to achieve if a number of conditions are met: the development of local self-government as a subject of political activity, the decentralization of state power, the participation of citizens in the preparation, adoption, implementation of managerial decisions, the presence of political will among local authorities on the issue of activating the participation of citizens in local self-government. It is proposed to develop a program for the development of public relations of local self-government bodies. It would be advisable to implement such a project in large territorial communities for a period of 3-5 years. This should be a kind of strategy for the development of public relations of the local government, which defines the priorities, goals and main tasks of long-term communication, stages, target groups and work plan with each of them, financing, organizational forms of work, communication directions, functional responsibilities and personnel of public relations services of the local government.

The article is devoted to topical issues of development of project activity in local self-government bodies, amalgamated territorial communities, analysis of real practices and the current situation. The study analyzed the legal basis for attracting extra-budgetary funds for the development of local communities, the procedure for preparing project applications, interaction with donor organizations and partners, as well as challenges and opportunities in the field. In particular, attention is focused on such aspects as the selection of the competition, the presence of a team and the role of the project manager in preparing a quality project application, opportunities for cooperation with NGOs and cooperation of amalgamated territorial communities in preparing and implementing of joint projects. The analysis of the current situation, dynamics and the main trends in the development of project activities in local self-governments is carried out. The experience of cities and small rural communities is compared. Emphasis is placed on the prospects of development, potential areas of project activities in the amalgamated territorial communities. One of the main obstacles to successful project activities in local governments is the lack of human resources and lack of experienced professionals. Emphasis is placed on the need for continuous practical work and the assistance of external experts who can provide advice, help in improving the skills of project management specialists in communities. The motivational component, stimulation of local government employees to develop work in the direction should not be left out either.

The article is focused on organizational peculiarities of local self-government bodies in different countries. The article also provides analysis of constitutions of different countries and normative-legal acts that define the status of local self-government bodies. Special attention is paid to the importance of functioning of local self-government bodies as one of the main democratic institutions of the state. Undoubtedly, involvement of citizens in the administration of the state is considered to be of a great import. The interaction between the territorial community and the elected representative of the community is significant for the existence and implementation of the power of citizens, since it gives them the right to participate in solving local problems and to be involved in local politics. The interdependency between effective community management and local government taxes has also been analyzed. The article demonstrates the importance of the principle of subsidiarity for efficient work of the local government bodies. This principle ensures interaction between public authorities and local self-government, considering that local authorities should give priority to solving local issues. Moreover, state institutions must respond to all changes in the society, and local self-government bodies should contribute to this. One of the important functions of subsidiarity is the ability to manage affairs at the local level without interference by the central government which is illustrated by the case of the Swiss Confederation. It should also be noted, that having extensive powers and directly representing the population, local self-government bodies do not always perform their functions properly. The importance of the power of a mayor is analyzed using the example of Bolivia, where municipal infrastructure and economy are heavily dependent on local selfgovernment bodies.Manuscript received 04.03.2019 ; У статті йдеться про особливості організації органів місцевого самоврядування в різних країнах. Проаналізовано конституції різних країн та нормативно-правові акти, які визначають статус місцевих органів самоврядування. Розглянуто важливість функціонування органів місцевого самоврядування як одного з основних демократичних інститутів держави. Також проаналізовано співвідношення між ефективним управлінням громадою та фінансуванням місцевих органів влади. Встановлено, що плідність роботи органів місцевого самоврядування значною мірою залежить від можливості локальних органів влади приймати рішення стосовно встановлення податків та зборів. Приділено увагу принципу субсидіарності як одному з ключових для існування місцевих органів влади. Зроблено висновок, що наявність органів місцевого самоврядування є обов'язковою умовою демократичності для громадянського суспільства. Саме завдяки місцевому самоврядуванню громада має можливість управляти місцевими справами та ефективно розв'язувати проблеми відповідно до своїх потреб.Матеріал надійшов 04.03.2019

The article is devoted to determining the priority directions of local self-government bodies' activity in the development of regions. Local self-government bodies are public entities that are empowered to deal with issues that are relevant to the well-being of the respective territorial community. Protecting the interests of the local community is a key objective of local self-government. The reform of local self-government in Ukraine is currently underway, the main purpose of which is decentralization of state power with the provision of territorial communities with resources and the mobilization of their internal reserves to provide the population with an adequate level of services. Such a goal could be achieved through effective local government action on regional development. The article analyzes the normative and legal support of the capacities of local self-government bodies to determine the priority opportunities for the development of regions and to provide support for such development. It is established that the local self-government bodies in determining the priority directions of development of the regions should take into account various factors such as: geographical, demographic, personnel, environmental, economic, historical and cultural. Attention is drawn to the need for a comprehensive approach to the analysis of such factors by local governments. The article analyzes a number of factors that have a negative impact on the current state of regional development. The directions of activity of local self-government bodies to avoid or minimize the consequences of such influence on the development of regions are suggested. It has been established that local governments can use tax, information, innovation and other measures of influence in order to stimulate priority directions of regional development. The emphasis is placed on the role of local authorities in the development of tourist attractiveness of regions, in particular in the field of international and interregional cooperation as a means of forming a positive image of the regions, providing information and financial support for the development of this area of regional development.
