Problems and
prospects of rural development
The development of Ukraine in the post
stage due to attempts to build an effective, socially oriented market economy.
However, in the reform of the country faced with numerous problems of the
agrarian society of socio-economic content. One such was the state of crisis in
rural areas, which has lasted for quite a long period and sufficiently
reflected in the literature.
It should be noted that among academics
and practitioners predominant position rather critical assessment of the
effects of domestic reforms in rural areas. Obviously, in this example, it can
be argued on the implementation mostly negative scenario of market relations.
Summarizing, the main adverse effects reform should be
recognized: 1) extreme weakness and low dependence of local economies in rural
communities who find themselves in a situation of absence due to agricultural
and other businesses; 2) lack of state programs and regulations in general,
which would significantly affect the status of rural communities in the reform
process and the post-reform stage; 3) a destructive pattern of behavior vast
majority of agents agrarian society groups who failed in most cases is obvious
and would not adapt to market conditions. Thus, it comes as external and
internal factors that have caused problems for content now. All other negatives
- unemployment, depopulation, degradation of the rural population - were
logical consequences thereof.
The literature indicated the importance
of discussions on the feasibility of constructing the concept of rural development
dilemma support communities or areas. As practice shows, are traditionally
inclined to support the business area, while the government - community through
social projects in education, medicine and others. This support program areas
have always been less effective because often embodied in terms of political
priorities. Maintaining the territorial approach prevailed until recently in
the economically developed countries - the EU and the US. In practice, such
programs are implemented through incentives to attract foreign capital through
tax and financial incentives, improved infrastructure, new institutions, and
service organizations, etc. This process is often observed uneven distribution
of wealth, when smaller or less attractive rural areas received less
respectively.
These risks are greatly amplified in
countries with transition economies because of the stronger corruption,
political influence, and less possibility of such programs where scarce
resources are distributed less fairly and effectively. International experience
indicates that organizations and institutions that are based communities
provide better meet the needs rather than the government or the market.
Opinion necessary reorientation towards
support programs of the communities have proliferated in XX-XXI centuries.
Again, the US and the EU, said the concept of rural development through
community was seen primarily as a means of opposition to big capital The basis
of this support is a set of tools that promote primarily the preservation and
concentration of ownership, management, effective use and control of resources
on the part of communities. Hence - the basis of the concept of rural
development based on keeping communities by using local resources - so-called
"Asset-based approach."
When community resources refers to the
means of the community endowed with quality properties that are necessary for
the production of other resources and can be used to achieve specific goals
identified communities and meet the needs of the environment. Potential
community (natural, human, physical, financial, social) - a potential resource
use, arising in the course of their interaction; potential community here -
it's integral display the current and future opportunities to transform
existing community resources into economic benefits as a result of productive
activity for maximum satisfaction of the interests of the community and
society.
The assets of the community - a
collection of resources involved in certain activities of which are expected to
effect or benefits to meet the goals of the community is assets - this advanced
capability (signs assets of the community - accountability community use in
economic activities of the community, the expectation effect, benefit in the
future ). Capital community to be understood as any assets that are capable of
producing additional resources. That capitalization of assets of the community
is in the process of investing to create new resources.
Of particular note is that the resources
and assets of rural communities are limited, while its capacity and capital -
no. This system of the local economy, which is able to maximize its potential
and capital becomes the primary determinant value, because its potential to
increase the efficiency of essentially unlimited ..
Thus, the model of rural development
post-industrial society is much the role of non-economic factors that determine
a related and development, making it unique. The basis of the above, in our
opinion, is a conflict of priorities - especially market and institutional -
development of Ukrainian agrarian society in the reform process.
The special nature of the market reform
of the agricultural sector due to the unique influence of the ratio of both
economic and non-economic factors. Ukraine's experience is clearly confirmed.
This is due to the effectiveness of market reform, among other prerequisites,
the ability to account and exploit the potential of non-economic factors. Seems
urgent adjustment reforms on the basis of specific differentiation status of
rural communities. This principle seems essential and the implementation
processes of valid and real decentralization.
We agree with the common opinion that the
economic fate of the Ukrainian village will be determined primarily by creating
new dynamics of full employment. The conceptual basis of such fundamental
mechanisms seen combination of economic and social development priorities,
which is compulsory for each implementation unique rural area factors of
competitive advantage.
Thus, all the above can be represented in
a tag potentially promising Ukrainian role towards the development of rural
communities, which laid the basis for the unique competitive advantage of
territories and local economies. The above concept of a new ideology of rural
development can be defined as a policy of "internal development" and
can be displayed in accordance with the following principles:
1. Economically justified socialization
of business in rural areas.
2. Fundamentally new role of local
communities and comunnity organizations.
3. Targeting the real situation and
potential of rural areas using unique in any case competitive advantage.
4. The new formula of cooperation
"state - business - local community - comunnity organizations" with
new features, rights mechanisms of influence for each group of agents; State
support only within this ideology of development.
5. Multi-model rural development and
rural businesses.
6. Fundamentally new role of internal
capital for the community because of the use of unique competitive advantages
of each rural area.
7. Targeting postindustrial economic
factors: first new marketing technologies that will have a fashion,
informative, logistics verification.
8. Investment trust, innovative content
to the local rural economy.
