Application of Effective Means of Management in the Conditions of Military Operations

The system of legal support for the activities of local self-government bodies plays a decisive role in
ensuring territorial development. The article analyzes the place of local self-government bodies in the
system of ensuring territorial development. The analysis of the leading European experience made it
possible to determine that the deregulation of territorial management processes is an effective mechanism
for ensuring their development. The experience of the world’s leading countries in building legal systems
for regulating the activities of local self-government bodies was analyzed. The role of local self-government
bodies during political crises was defined. The lack of experience in the implementation of powers by
local self-government bodies under martial law determined the need to analyze Ukrainian legislation
and its practical implementation after the beginning of the full-scale military aggression of the Russian
Federation against Ukraine. The analysis of the legislation made it possible to determine the place of
local self-government bodies in the processes of ensuring the urgent needs of the population during the
period of martial law. The analysis of the needs of the population was carried out by accumulating the
results of a sociological survey among Ukrainians conducted after the start of a full-scale military invasion.
Based on the assessment, a ranking matrix of the population’s requests was developed, which made it
possible to form the areas of work of local self-government bodies, which are defined as priorities in the
conditions of martial law. Based on the analysis, methodical recommendations are proposed to improve
the regulatory and legal regulation of the activities of local self-government bodies in the conditions of
martial law.
