The article is aimed at quantitative determination of the level of quality of the components for the development of entrepreneurship in the currently formed in Ukraine Strategies for the Development of Territorial Communities (TCs) in order to clarify the directions for their further improvement. A quantitative assessment of the quality of the components of entrepreneurship development from the representative sample of local Strategies was carried out by analyzing their structural integrity, for which it was proposed to introduce a coefficient of compliance of the structure of the component of entrepreneurship development (CED) with the methodological recommendations of the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine. To assess and analyze the quality of the components of entrepreneurship development, the method of successive approximations of its structure to the requirements of the methodological recommendations of the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine was applied. The analysis of the obtained results indicates a large underperformance of the components of entrepreneurship development in the Strategies of territorial communities, which is 32%, as well as a significant lag in their quality in the Strategies elaborated in rural TCs compared to the urban and settlement TCs. In the rural Strategies, the number of shortcomings is unacceptably large and amounts to a critical mass, which is 49%. The above shows that already at the stage of elaboration of Ukraine-wide Territorial Communities Strategies in terms of CED, many imperfections are allowed that make impossible the completeness and quality of implementation of the components of entrepreneurship development in the local Development Strategies. Based on the results of this study of the quality of the components of entrepreneurship development of the local Strategies, directions for their further improvement have been allocated, which should be a departure from the declarative format of their elaboration, separation of entrepreneurship development in communities into a single strategic goal of the local Strategies with mandatory observance of the principle of SMART-specialization when building relevant operational goals, use of a stakeholder-oriented approach, the obligation to adhere to such features of strategic planning as modernity and creativity, the formation of a single coordinated approach to the elaboration of the component of the local Strategies for entrepreneurship development in territorial communities. Upon completion of the analysis of a sufficient number of existing Strategies of territorial communities, a quantitative assessment of the quality level of the component of entrepreneurship development, as a quantitative parameter, can be used by external experts to study the level of implementation and achievement of the results of the strategic goal of entrepreneurship development, depending on the quality of its elaboration.
