Development of housing infrastructure of agricultural territories based on the state-business partnership

The article deals with the issue of development of housing infrastructure of rural areas. Given the current trend of urbanization and resettlement of rural inhabitants to cities, social development of rural territories, in particular housing, becomes relevant in the light of the current reform of the economy of Ukraine. Agro-industrial complex of the country is developing at a progressive pace. At the same time the development of social infrastructure of rural areas is significantly lagging behind. According to the results of one of the analyses it has been concluded that the pace of residential construction and commissioning of housing in urban settlements by 2.5 times exceeds the rates of housing construction in rural areas. Number of built apartments in the countryside for the period 2013-2017 grew only by 3.85%. The total living area of residential housing commissioned in urban areas in 2017 exceeded the total living space in rural settlements by 2.48 times. Number of flats built in urban settlements in 2017 by 3.67 times exceeded the number of apartments constructed in rural areas. In the Kyiv region there are 6718 houses of village, settlement and departmental housing stock, of which 355 belong to the associations of co-owners of apartment houses. Significant physical wear and tear of the heating systems, water supply networks and drainage networks are a problem of the Kyiv region. To solve this problem, substantial financial investments are needed, which the state can not allocate in full. Under existing circumstances, it is advisable to recommend a gradual solution to the problem of the renovation and reconstruction of residential infrastructure of rural areas through the introduction of the mechanism of state-entrepreneurial partnership, which will help to reduce disproportions in living conditions and consumption of services between rural and urban population. Taking into account the lack of sufficient experience of Ukraine in application of the mechanism of state-entrepreneurial partnership and at the same time the availability of quite complete legislative framework for its implementation in the country, it is recommended that at the initial stage, the relations between the state and private sectors should be formalized on the basis of lease agreements
