Abstract

There is an increasing actualisation of the knowledge component of the institutional capacity of local self-government authorities in Ukraine within ongoing decentralisation. The issue that arises concerns the officials’ knowledge sufficiency to generate and implement new ideas on the territories’ development, and the availability of unique skills for the development of relevant programmes, projects and plans. Herein, the analysis of the real knowledge needs of officials, whose sphere of competence lies in decision-making about the territories’ ways of development as well as their practical implementation, plays an important role. The article presents the results of a study of the opinions of local self-government officials of united territorial communities (UTCs) from the Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Zhytomyr, Kherson and Poltava regions of Ukraine, concerning their level of knowledge on the territories’ management; their needs for additional knowledge; the most common and convenient ways of obtaining knowledge; and the most problematic areas where the new knowledge is most demanded. The obtained data and the conclusions drawn can be considered, in particular, as an informational basis for the formation of training programmes and plans, cases and tasks for specialists training in the field of public administration.

摘要

在正在进行的权力下放中，乌克兰地方自治政府机构能力的知识组成部分越来越多地实现。出现的问题涉及官员的知识足够能力，以产生和实施有关领土发展的新想法，以及为制定有关方案，项目和计划提供独特技能的可能性。在这里，对官员的实际知识需求的分析起着重要作用，因为他们的权限范围在于对领土的发展方式及其实际实施进行决策。本文介绍了对乌克兰第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克，苏梅，日托米尔，赫尔松和波尔塔瓦州联合领土社区地方自治官员的意见进行的研究结果，关于他们对领土管理的了解程度；他们对额外知识的需求；获取知识的最普通和便捷的方式；以及最需要新知识的问题最多的领域。所获得的数据和得出的结论尤其可以被视为形成公共行政领域的专家培训计划和计划，案例和任务的信息基础。
