Introduction. Establishing the economic foundation for the self-development of territorial communities (TCs) has become a critical task for Ukraine in the context of post-war recovery.
Problem Statement. The strategic management of economic development in TCs, based on the effective utilization of resource provision to achieve self-sufficiency, remains unresolved. Additionally, the potential for entrepreneurial sector development across spatial and sectoral dimensions has yet to be fully realized. There is a pressing need to substantiate the methodological framework for assessing the resource provision that underpins the economic self-sufficiency of TCs.
Purpose. This study aims to develop a scientific and methodological approach to determine the level of resource provision for the economic self-sufficiency of TCs (villages, settlements, and small towns) within the framework of management decentralization, focusing on self-development, self-reproduction, resilience, and viability.
Materials and Methods. The theoretical basis for examining the concept of “economic self-sufficiency of territorial communities” has been analyzed. Integral indicators for assessing the level of resource provision for the economic self-sufficiency of TCs have been substantiated using logical, monographic, and content analysis methods. To construct a composite integral index of resource provision, the study employs the hierarchy analysis method, statistical and standardization techniques, as well as integral and rating assessment methods.
Results. The conceptual understanding of the term “economic self-sufficiency of territorial communities” has been refined. An algorithm for the mathematical formalization of the assessment of resource provision for TCs’ economic self-sufficiency has been developed. Furthermore, the economic signifi cance of each of the nine blocks of indicators has been substantiated, offering a comprehensive framework for evaluation.
Conclusions. The methodological approach outlined in this article constitutes an innovative component of state regional policy and is recommended for practical application by local governments, state authorities, and statistical bodies. This approach is designed to evaluate the resource provision of TCs, facilitating their active participation in post-war recovery processes.
