USE OF METHODS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF FIRE SAFETY
IN UKRAINE: SELECTION PRINCIPLES
Effective
implementation of public administration of fire safety in Ukraine depends,
inter alia, on the methods the use of which allows governmental bodies to
implement regulatory, organizing and coordinating effects on all components of
the fire safety sphere through the development, adoption and implementation of
management decisions [1]. The basis for determining the set of methods in
public administration of fire safety constitutes the principles according to
which such selection is possible and objective.
Availability
of a generated set of public administration methods is the basis for further
selection and use of them in solving the tasks (problems) at the appropriate
stages of the management process within the fire safety sphere. Thus the need
for the most efficient solution requires the selection and specification of
methodological tools which fit the best to solve a particular problem or task.
In
view of the abovementioned there is the need to substantiate the principles the
use of which will provide the conditions for the formation of the required set
of methods in public administration of the fire safety sphere.
One
of the basic principles for selecting methods for public administration of the fire
safety sphere is the principle of the "need for a method" the essence
of which is that methods should be selected on the basis of those tasks that
require the approval of the administrative decision and not just based on the
capabilities of managers (government officials).
However,
selection of methods requires that there was completeness
of them for the problems to solve. Due to the principle of "external
addition" [2] it should be noted that completeness is relative and depends
on the results of various studies, the duration of practical experience and
effective use of management techniques as well as scientific and technological
progress.
Another
principle is the principle of "practical applicability of the method".
It requires that the methods used to form management decisions in the fire
safety sphere were effective subject to the availability of appropriate
conditions and possibility of their application may be limited [3-5].
The
next principle of methods selection for public administration of the fire
safety sphere is the principle of "value of the method application".
The cost value of finding a task or problem solution should always be less than
the value of the result (output) that appears as a result of the use of a
particular method or a set of management methods.
An
important principle is the principle of "efficiency of the found solution resulting
from application of the method". If resulting from the selection and
application of the chosen set of public administration methods the final result
provides better solution to the task or problem in the fire safety sphere, this
combination of methods can be regarded as satisfying.
Another
principle to be necessarily considered when choosing management methods is the
principle of "significance of the method". Significance level of a
particular method requires an answer to the question which errors are possible
when settling the task (solving a problem).
A
must to be considered is the principle of "stability of the solution when
using the method". Stability of the solution when using a particular
method of management is usually characterized by the duration of use of the
solution.
Not
unimportant principle to be considered when selecting methods for public
administration of the fire safety sphere is the principle of "balance of
the method with other methods". Its application obliges to use mutually
compatible methods of public administration for various stages of the
administrative decision.
Thus
the proposed set of principles – the principle of the "need for a
method", the principle of "practical applicability of the
method", the principle of "value of the method application", the
principle of "efficiency of the found solution resulting from application
of the method", the principle of "significance
of the method", the principle of "stability of the solution
when using the method", the principle of "balance of the method with
other methods" – is to be considered, in our opinion, sufficient to make
selection of methods for public administration of the fire safety sphere.
