Monitoring and evaluation of the efficiency of rural development of the united territorial communities of the Vinnytsia region
Balanced development and interaction of types of economic activity form the economic potential of the region and help fill budgets. Improvement of the methodology of diagnostics of the economy of rural development taking into account natural, economic, demographic, social and recreational features is urgent. The purpose of the study was to improve and develop a methodological toolkit for assessing the effectiveness of rural development on the example of united territorial communities of the Vinnytsia region. A number of methods were used in the research process: abstract-logical, comparative analysis, tabular, statistical, calculation-constructive. According to key economic parameters, such as the pace of the Supreme Council of Justice and the volume of production per person, the Vinnytsia region is marked by a relative trend of anticipatory regional development, and the agriculture of the region in 2017- 2021 retains priority positions in the structure of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine. Analytical monitoring of the positive dynamics of the majority of economic indicators of rural development of the united territorial communities of the Vinnytsia region contributed to the growth of the partial index of the economic component. During 2017-2021, this aggregate indicator increased from 411 to 427 points, or almost 4%. It was established that the partial index of social efficiency of rural development of the united territorial communities of the region decreased by 2.4% (from 107.4 in 2017 to 104.8 points in 2021). The highest value of the index of social efficiency of rural development of united territorial communities was reached in 2017 (107.4), and the lowest in 2020 – 104.0. Calculation partial index environmental efficiency of rural development established a growth of 7.3% (from 17.2 in 2017 to 18.5 in 2021). The calculation and analytical measurement of the aggregate integral indicator of the effectiveness of rural development of the united territorial communities revealed a slight growth trend – from 91.2 in 2017 to 93.9 points in 2021, which does not exceed 3%. The practical significance of the conducted research is determined by the improvement of the toolkit and the development of a methodical algorithm for determining the integral indicator of the effectiveness of rural development of united territorial communities, which can be useful in the regional management practice of organizing monitoring and developing directions for the development of rural areas
