Resume

The research of territorial communities has been gaining more relevance lately in the conditions of administrative and territorial reform. Indeed, the reform is related to the complicated processes formed at local levels in territorial communities that perform the role of the lowest management link and the major carrier of functions and liabilities of local self-governance. Therefore, it is an important stage of the reform process to define the nature of territorial community and its major functions. The paper aims to define the major features of the territorial community in conditions of administrative and territorial reform. The paper analyzes and emphasizes the major controversial issues in forming of the conceptual framework of territorial communities. The nature of territorial community is examined not only as a social phenomenon, but also as the legal one. The paper argues that the legal status of a territorial community is the system of established rights and liabilities of consolidated territorial communities – the villages, towns, cities, which are the independent administrative and territorial units with a single administrative center. The main types of territorial communities in Ukraine are defined. The rights and liabilities of consolidated territorial communities are determined. The paper proves that territorial community is the source of local authorities and main entity of local governance that is designated to secure the meeting of the needs of some administrative-territorial unit’s residents and the development of civil society. Therefore, a territorial community is the main carrier of functions and liabilities of a certain cluster of residents as a primary center in the system of management authorities that functions as a single coherent mechanism in the system of local self-governance. Territorial community is independently formed only if most of its members identify themselves with it, have common interests and contribute to their realization.
