CLASSIFICATION OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES BY THE LEVEL OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC POTENTIAL: METHODS AND MODELS OF ASSESSMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF POST-WAR RECOVERY

Анотація

Post-war recovery of territorial communities (TC) is a key task for ensuring the country’s stable development. The war has significantly impacted the socio-economic condition of communities, causing substantial losses in infrastructure, human capital, and economic activity. In these circumstances, there is a need for a practical assessment of their potential to determine support priorities and develop development strategies. This article is dedicated to creating a methodological approach for classifying territorial communities based on their socio-economic potential (SEP), which serves as a basis for ranking and identifying the most vulnerable communities in the context of post-war recovery. The authors analyze community development factors and propose an evaluation system that considers infrastructure, demographic, economic, and social aspects. The methodological approach is based on taxonomic analysis and clustering, which allows for identifying groups of communities with similar characteristics and determining priority development directions. The study examines key evaluation criteria, including the level of economic activity, accessibility of essential services, employment levels, and the quality of social infrastructure. The proposed methodology classifies communities by their development level and forms targeted support strategies tailored to the specific needs of areas. This ensures the effective use of state and international aid resources, promotes investment attraction, and fosters the formation of sustainable economic recovery models. It has been proven that for effective post-war recovery of territorial communities, a comprehensive approach is required, which includes: economic recovery and support for entrepreneurship through development strategies, investment attraction, and support for small businesses; financial support through the search for grants and investments to cover critical needs; human capital development through professional retraining and skill improvement to reduce unemployment; enhancing investment attractiveness through simplifying procedures and creating a favorable business environment; social support through the development of medical, educational, and social services; regional and international cooperation for experience exchange and implementation of joint projects; and infrastructure development through the modernization of transport, housing, and public facilities. The comprehensive implementation of these measures will enable communities to restore economic and social stability, increase employment levels, ensure sustainable development, and improve the quality of life for residents. The study results can be used to optimize state regional development policies, develop support programs for communities, and improve funding mechanisms for post-war recovery. The proposed approach can serve as a foundation for further research in the socio-economic development of territorial communities in crisis situations.
