Abstract

The article considers the problem of shame of local authorities, reducing the activity of citizens and the passivity of young people to the process of control over the authorities. The study indicates that complete and up-to-date information on the website and constant contact with residents will strengthen the positive image of communities among other communities and all stakeholders. The article raises the issue of transparency in the Mykolaiv district, where activists encounter a significant amount of resistance and secrecy of the authorities from citizens, explaining this by the fact that it is not worth spending time informing. The modern world requires a radically open, informational approach. After all, the process of decentralization implies that over time, communities must provide for themselves in everything, they must now so open the potential in communities that the leading resources are the basis for self-sufficiency. The development of civil society and the active involvement of the younger generation in this process is one of the most important tasks of social development in Ukraine on its way to successful integration into the world community. Raising questions of transparency in the Nikolaev region, activists come across a considerable amount of resistance and secrecy of the power from citizens, explaining it that it is not necessary to spend time for informing, it is necessary to work. But, the modern world requires a different approach. After all, the process of decentralization implies that over time, communities must provide for themselves in everything, must now so open the potential in communities that the leading resource, such as human capital, land, start-ups, small businesses, jobs for the population, in in the future to be self-sufficient and be able to finance themselves in leading areas. Thus, the leading factor in the trust of citizens, and especially the younger generation, in power is its comprehensive transparency. In order to form and develop such transparency, young people must demonstrate true citizenship and become the leading control of the authorities. У статті розглянуто проблему позорості органів влади місцевого рівня, зниження активності громадян та пасивність молоді до процесу контролю за органами влади. Дослідження вказує, що повна та актуальна інформація на веб-сайті та постійний контакт з жителями, підсилить позитивний імідж громад серед інших громад та усіх зацікавлених у співпраці сторін. У статті піднімається питання прозорості у Миколаївському районі, де активісти натрапляють на значну кількість супротиву та закритості влади від громадян, пояснюючи це тим, що не варто витрачати час на інформування. Сучасний світ вимагає кардинально відркитого, інформаційного підходу. Адже процес децентралізації передбачає, що з часом, громади мають забезпечувати себе в усьому самостійно, мають настільки зараз розкрити в громадах потенціал, щоб провідні ресурси були основою для самодостатності. Розбудова громадянського суспільства, активне залучення до цього процесу молодого покоління є одним із найважливіших завдань суспільного розвитку в Украї ні на її шляху до успішної інтеграції в світову спільноту.
