DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE AS A FORM LOCAL SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY MANIFESTATION IN THE AGRARIAN SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY

Abstract

The article presents the main aspects of social infrastructure development as a form of local social responsibility in the agrarian sector of the economy. The main tools of social infrastructure development within the framework of local social responsibility in the agrarian sector of the economy are substantiated and generalized. The forecast of the main factors hindering the development of Ukrainian economy was analyzed. It was proved that at the national level local social responsibility affects the structural components of social infrastructure. The positive changes associated with the power decentralization, which are able to become an additional source of funding, were discussed. It was found that the key aspect of rural social infrastructure effective development is the comprehensive coordination of all management spheres and all levels of territorial authorities. The hierarchy of social infrastructure development is given. It consists of three levels. Each level is regulated by relevant documents and norms. It is proved that the efficiency of social infrastructure development depends on a harmonious combination and coordination between each level of functioning. Thus, if at least one of the levels is not observed, the integrity of this hierarchy is violated. The influence of basic living conditions on the development of social infrastructure is substantiated, because the level of rural population well-being depends on how agricultural enterprises will be developed. According to the World Data Center, it has been found that in Ukraine there are factors that hinder social and economic development. It is proposed to create a fund of the social and rural infrastructure development at the local level. Its implementation will have positive consequences at all levels of the hierarchy. The formation of a local fund for rural infrastructure development is provided through direct forms of participation of agricultural enterprises in the development of social infrastructure, namely: public-private partnership (social partnership), social entrepreneurship, social projects, venture financing and more. The sources of this fund can be definitely interesting in the field of taxes and fees paid by agricultural enterprises. Besides it can be meaningful in the sphere of concessions and fines for environmental pollution, charitable contributions, social investments etc.
