Social capital of rural territorial communities in Ukraine: problems of strengthening and directionsof their solution

Analysis of the dynamics of forms of horizontally integrating social capital of rural communities, represented by agricultural cooperatives, farms, and intercommunity cooperation, revealed their unrealized potential for development in Ukraine. In particular, per 10 thsd. economically active rural populations in 2020 there were only 4 agricultural cooperatives, 85 farms, and 119 agreements on intermunicipal cooperation. The impact of the indicators of social capital development of oblasts on their economy has been assessed by correlation and regression analysis of the gross regional product volume and the number of inter-municipal cooperation agreements, self-organization bodies, and cooperatives. As a result, it was found that there is a significant relationship only with the latter indicator: the variation in gross regional product by 75.9 % depends on the variation in the number of cooperatives. The main directions of the development of social capital of rural communities are substantiated taking into account modern features of their development, which are represented by coordination of common interests, creation of a basis for interaction, due to which networks are formed and trust is accumulated.

Prospects for further research in this area are the study of mechanisms influencing the development of social capital of communities at different levels of administrative and territorial management and improving scientific and methodological approaches to designing social capital development at the level of rural territorial communities. The implementation of the results of such research would significantly contribute to the development of self-sufficiency of territorial communities based on inclusiveness.
