摘要：With the growing influence of economic globalization processes on the development of rural areas and the domestic agricultural sector, the relevance of studying new approaches to the formation of the economic basis for the functioning of self-sufficient territories, to overcome the critical problems of rural areas and ensure their sustainable development in the context of aggravating endogenous and exogenous risks, is increasing. Obviously, the current crisis situation in rural areas of the country neither contributes to satisfying interests and needs of producers and consumers of domestic agricultural products nor to providing residents of the territories with jobs and modern public services. Moreover, there intensified efforts on searching for new strategic approaches to managing the development of territories, which are aimed at reducing the differentiation of the level of socio-economic development of regions (territories, communities, etc.) by equalizing the conditions of economic activity, ensuring rational use of the production and resource potential of regions (territories, communities and etc.); achieving sustainable economic growth; improving the socio-economic indicators of the living standards in Ukraine. The importance of forming a legal framework essential for the functioning of an individual administrative territorial system (region, territory, community, etc.), assessing its condition with a view to its further use in public administration of territorial development determines the importance of elaborating and implementing an effective legal framework for solving socio-economic problems and stimulating sustainable regional development in Ukraine.
