Published: November 2024

У статті здійснено аналіз форм та змісту участі територіальних громад Волинської області в здійсненні міжнародного партнерства, реалізації регіональних програм і проєктів. Розкриваються напрями спільної діяльності керівництва області й територіальних громад, бізнесових структур, громадських об’єднань та установ у реалізації масштабних міжнародних програм і проєктів. Наводяться фактичні дані щодо кількості міжнародних партнерств, які заключені територіальними громадами Волинської області з багатьма країнами світу. Показано, що найбільше транскордонних угод підписано з громадами Польщі та Німеччини, є співпраця також з муніципалітетами Китаю, США, Франції, Аргентини, Азербайджану тощо. Однією із найбільш відомих та ефективних спільних транскордонних програм між Україною та Республікою Польща є INTERREG NEXT Польща – Україна, що відбувалася в декілька етапів. У квітні 2024 р. відбулося чергове засідання моніторингового комітету цієї програми. У червні 2024 р. у Любліні проходив 4-й Конгрес органів місцевого самоврядування Тримор’я. Поступова відмова від викопного вугілля, зелене відновлення енергетичного сектору України та альтернативні моделі розвитку шахтарських регіонів – саме така мета пілотного проєкту, що за дорученням Федерального уряду Німеччини на запит Міністерства енергетики та Міністерства інфраструктури впроваджує Німецьке товариство міжнародного співробітництва (GIZ), який планується реалізувати в Нововолинській, Литовезькій і Поромівській територіальних громадах Волині. Щодо міжрегіонального і транскордонного співробітництва, то тут важливу роль відіграють інституції громадянського суспільства, що опікуються проблемами розвитку місцевого самоврядування, громад і територій. У березні 2024 р. за результатами додаткового відбору та проведеного міжнародними експертами оцінювання, новим учасником швейцарсько-українського проєкту «Згуртованість та регіональний розвиток України» UCORD стала Агенція регіонального розвитку Волині.
ІСТОРИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ ФОРМУВАННЯ ЕКОЛОГІЧНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ НА ТЕРИТОРІЇ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Ярош Ярослав Богданович , Бугайчук Антон Павлович
Published: November 2024

У статті досліджено історичні аспекти формування інститутів та нормативно-правової бази здійснення екологічної політики в Україні від найдавніших часів до здобуття незалежності у 1991. Також проаналізовано ключові історичні аспекти, які впливали на формування екологічної свідомості населення України і ставлення суспільства до захисту довкілля та природокористування. Встановлено, що типова господарська діяльність аж до індустріальної революції у XVIII-XIX ст. мала екстенсивний характер, тобто нарощуванні виробництва відбувалося за рахунок розорювання нових земель, вирубування лісів, збільшення обсягів полювання чи риболовлі без значного акценту на зростання їх ефективності. Перші законодавчі акти Київської Русі, Великого Князівства Литовського та Речі Посполитої регулювали землекористування, полювання, рибальство, лісокористування та іншу господарську діяльність. До початку XX ст. на більшості території України, окрім частково індустріалізованих районів Донбасу та нафтовидобувних районів Галичини, економіка залишалася переважно аграрною. Питання охорони довкілля до XX ст. були справою окремих дворян ентузіастів та вчених, які розвивали мережу гуртків та товариств охорони природи. На початку XХ ст., зокрема у часи Української революції 1917-1921 рр. спостерігається часткове відродження природоохоронної справи. Суттєвий доробок у галузі природокористування та природоохорони створили науковці В. Вернадський, М. Шарлемань, П. Тутковський, В. Талієв та ін. Суттєвої шкоди довкіллю у XX ст. завдали дві світові війни та радянська політика «підкорення природи». Йдеться як про прямі наслідки бойових дій, так і про суттєве зростання попиту на ресурси і продовольство, що змусило виробників зосередитися короткостроковому нарощуванні продуктивності за рахунок нераціонального природокористування. Відродження природоохоронного руху на території України розпочалося наприкінці ХХ ст. в середовищі дисидентів, які протестували проти варварського знищення довкілля та ігнорування права людини на проживання у здоровому довкіллі. Суттєвим стимулом для піднесення цього руху стала Чорнобильська катастрофа 1986 р. Вона змусила значну кількість активних громадян мобілізуватися на захист довкілля та закласти основу для громадсько-політичних інституцій екологічного спрямування вже в незалежній Україні.
PECULIARITIES OF ORGANIZING THE PROCESS OF AUDIT OF FIXED ASSETS OF ENTERPRISES: MODERN APPROACHES
Authors:   Polissya National University, Haiduchok Tetyana , Vasylenko Tetyana ,   Polissya National University, Rudnitskyi Anatolii ,   Polissya National University
Published: November 2024

The article discusses the main aspects and modern approaches to the organization of the process of auditing fixed assets at enterprises. Fixed assets are one of the most important components of an enterprise's assets, so their proper accounting and management are crucial for financial stability and business efficiency. An audit of fixed assets involves checking the compliance of the accounting policy with the current legislation, analyzing the availability and condition of assets, and assessing their effective use. The authors focus on the problems of organizing the audit of fixed assets, emphasizing the need to analyze and adapt to new technologies. The introduction of automated tools and improvement of methodology is necessary to ensure the accuracy, efficiency and transparency of the audit process. This will allow auditors to respond quickly to changes in the business environment and reduce risks in accordance with modern requirements. The article focuses on remote audit methods (remote audit), which have become particularly relevant in the context of globalization and digital transformation. These methods allow auditors to inspect companies without the need for personal presence on site, which helps to reduce costs and increase the flexibility of the process. In addition, this approach helps to develop important communication skills, negotiate with management and build trust. The conclusions of the article emphasize that the introduction of modern technologies in the audit of fixed assets improves control over assets and optimizes their management. Recommendations include the integration of the latest technologies, standardization of accounting procedures, and advanced training of auditors. These measures contribute not only to correct and reliable accounting, but also ensure the transparency of financial statements, reducing the risks of inaccurate information important for strategic decisions of the enterprise. The use of automated systems and analytical tools will allow auditors to focus on critical aspects of asset management, contributing to more efficient use of resources and cost reduction. Thus, modern technologies are becoming an integral part of audit processes, which increases their value for companies.
FEATURES OF ENSURING THE FINANCIAL SECURITY OF UTILITY ENTERPRISES
Authors:   Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Marusiak Nataliia
Published: November 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of ensuring the financial security of utility enterprises in conditions of uncertainty, military operations and the instability of economic and social processes. It was determined that both external and internal factors influence the formation of the financial security of the enterprise. The main meaningful accents of the financial security of utility enterprises are highlighted, taking into account their organizational and functional features. The influence of the external environment and the balance of interests are particularly relevant for utility companies as determining components of financial security, since for most of them the revenue base is formed by external stakeholders and capital investments are financed. An assessment of the financial security of utility enterprises was carried out based on the indicators of the financial condition on the example of utility enterprises of water supply and drainage. The main financial threat to utility enterprises is the lack of financial resources for functioning, which will make it impossible to provide the necessary services to the residents of the community. Such enterprises cover losses from the local budget, that is, community residents pay for services twice: directly as part of the tariff and indirectly by paying taxes to the local budget. At the same time, a restraining tariff policy and additional financing from the budget is an objective necessity, therefore ensuring the financial security of utility companies must be closely related to permanent financial planning, monitoring, auditing of financial policy and the efficiency of spending financial resources to balance the interests of utility companies enterprises and the local community. Utility companies, on the one hand, cannot independently conduct pricing policy, determine types of activities and areas of service provision; on the other hand, they are under the constant financial care of local authorities. Taking into account the financing features of such enterprises, their capital structure and liquidity level do not carry high financial risks. And the danger is the level of wear and tear of fixed assets, unprofitability and the impossibility of self-financing, which makes such utility companies dependent on budget allocations. It was determined that in order to increase their financial security, a system of measures should be developed together with state and local self-government bodies for a complete restructuring of the economic and financial mechanism of their functioning.

Since February 24, 2022, that is, since the beginning of the large-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, there has been an urgent need to provide humanitarian aid to both the military and the civilian population, including internally displaced persons. Citizens of Ukraine rallied to help Ukraine: public organizations, charitable foundations, volunteers, ordinary citizens and the international community. The article examines which international funds and organizations and how exactly they help Ukraine in solving this problem. Humanitarian aid is usually aimed at saving human life, reducing suffering, helping to survive difficult circumstances, and preventing the occurrence of epidemics. Accordingly, the main tasks of humanitarian aid are: saving human life; provision of assistance to meet basic human needs (water, food, accommodation); provision of basic hygiene and medical care. The analysis of humanitarian aid delivered to Ukraine makes it possible to make the following conditional division into the main types of humanitarian aid: humanitarian aid of military purpose (equipment, equipment, equipment, etc.); medical humanitarian aid (both civilian and military medicine); humanitarian aid to the civilian population (food needs – food, hygiene products, clothes and shoes, sanitation, household goods, etc.); fuel (both for military needs and for civil defense needs). Humanitarian aid is provided free of charge to people who need it. All strata of the population received humanitarian aid in Ukraine. One of the main goals of humanitarian aid is to save human life, it is unplanned and can be provided both in kind and in cash, and the provision of free services is also considered humanitarian aid. Humanitarian aid began to arrive in Ukraine from the very beginning of the war, because even crossing the border to the countries bordering Ukraine, its citizens arranged free flights and provided housing for refugees, caring people fed and provided basic necessities, warm things and hot drinks to the defenseless citizens of Ukraine who fled the war.
FROM FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF AGRICULTURAL SECTOR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS: KEY PRIORITIES
Authors:   Strobile Energy, Turolyev Glib , Slavkova Alla ,   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Melnyk Illia ,   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes the issues of rural development in Ukraine, focusing on its economic and social aspects. It emphasizes that over the past decade, the agricultural sector has transformed into a powerful branch of Ukraine's national economy, significantly influencing macroeconomic trends. Global food market trends have become an additional factor in the development of the domestic agricultural sector, positioning Ukraine as one of the key players in this segment. In specific sectors, Ukraine is a leader in the global food market and has maintained its competitive position for an extended period. Specific mechanisms of financial support are employed to support agricultural enterprises in Ukraine. However, even within the agricultural sector itself, attitudes toward this support are mixed. Positive evaluations are often overshadowed by the complexity and bias of various procedures, the limited number of enterprises eligible for such support, and the resource shortages allocated to finance the corresponding programs. It is essential to acknowledge that the main focus of existing financial incentives is to stimulate increased agricultural production volumes. However, this approach largely ignores the social challenges of rural development, exacerbates the distortions inherent in urbanization, and creates strategic threats to the development of rural areas. In particular, there is a highly concerning situation regarding skilled labor, with many rural communities lacking social infrastructure. Unemployment and low wages demotivate rural residents. Over the past decades, the agricultural sector has experienced a true “technological breakthrough”. However, the shift in technology has also transformed labor requirements, adding pressure to the socio-economic aspects of rural development. It is argued that the state must shift from merely stimulating the agricultural sector to fostering comprehensive rural development. If a comprehensive approach to the development of rural areas is ignored, in the medium term it will lead to the stagnation of the agricultural sector of Ukraine under the pressure of economic and social problems.

The article explores the relationship between digital technologies, digital public services and the digital economy model. Key aspects of integrating these elements are analysed, such as the development of infrastructure, the creation of digital platforms, and the development of the Ukrainian IT sector. Special attention is paid to the impact of digital transformation on the efficiency of public administration, the lives of citizens and the development of the national economy. The study predicts both positive aspects of digital transformation and pessimistic scenarios related to uneven access to digital technologies, the digital divide and the need to develop digital public services. Based on the analysis, recommendations are formulated for further developing the digital economy and optimising the interaction between the state, businesses and citizens in the digital environment. Digital transformations of Ukraine's economy can ensure the stability and growth of financial revenues necessary for post-war reconstruction. Digital solutions are of financial and strategic interest, as they can increase the efficiency of the industries into which they are integrated into the government and military sectors. According to the study results, the development scenarios of each component of the descriptive model of the digital economy of Ukraine were determined. The Ukrainian IT industry is the engine of the digital economy and has demonstrated its resilience even in wartime. The industry continues to fulfil contracts and export services, provide foreign exchange earnings, and support the economy. Today's performance in IT is much better than in other industries, largely due to its mobility, flexibility and ability to work remotely. While the country is rebuilding, the Ukrainian IT industry will be able to ensure its economic stability largely. But for this, you need a concrete plan for supporting the industry, which it needs for development. They mean economic levers and incentives for investment, development of education, etc. The government directs efforts to integrate Ukraine into the EU’s Single Digital Market, build digital infrastructure, attract investments, and provide citizens with critical services and data, thus ensuring uninterrupted communication for the safety of citizens, which is the key to the digital stability of the economy. Despite the state of war, it pays attention to supporting the IT industry.
FACTORS OF COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSIS OF CORPORATE EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING AS A KEY FACTOR IN ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS
Authors:   Kyiv National University of Technology and Design, Vartanova Olena , Maliarenko Iia ,   Kyiv National University of Technology and Design
Published: November 2024

The article analyses the factors of diagnostics of corporate staff well-being and their impact on the organisation's success. The study presents an analysis of the key factors that form the overall picture of employee well-being and determine the effectiveness of the organisation. The focus is on five key groups of factors: physical health and safety: aspects such as workplace ergonomics, health programmes, occupational disease prevention and workplace safety systems are considered. Their impact on overall well-being and productivity is analysed; psychological well-being: the factors of stress, emotional burnout, job satisfaction and psychological climate in the team are investigated. Special attention is paid to methods of assessing the psychological state of employees and strategies for improving it; social interactions and corporate culture: aspects of teamwork, leadership, communication in the organisation and the alignment of corporate values with employees’ personal values are analysed. The impact of these factors on the overall level of staff well-being and engagement is considered; economic aspects: remuneration systems, social packages, career opportunities and financial stability are studied. The link between the economic well-being of employees and their loyalty to the organisation is investigated; work-life balance: the issues of work schedule flexibility, remote working, leave policies and support for employees’ family life are considered. The impact of these factors on overall job satisfaction and productivity is analysed. Particular attention is paid to the methods of diagnosing these factors. Both traditional methods (questionnaires, interviews) and innovative approaches (using AI to analyse employee sentiment, measuring biometric indicators to assess stress levels) are considered. The relevance of this study is enhanced in the context of global changes in the work environment and growing digitalisation. The authors emphasise the need to adapt the methods of diagnosing and managing corporate well-being to new realities, including the increasing share of remote work and changing employee priorities. The article also examines the relationship between various factors of corporate well-being and their combined impact on the overall success of an organisation. It presents a model that demonstrates how improvements in one area (e.g. psychological well-being) can have a positive impact on other aspects (e.g. productivity, innovation).

The article examines the main directions of the modern development of enterprises in the hospitality and tourism industry in Germany after the abatement of the coronavirus pandemic and the recovery of international travel volumes. This made it possible to formulate an idea of modern trends and possible promising directions for the development of the field of hospitality and tourism in Germany. The field of hospitality and tourism is studied in the context of the economic growth of the country, employment and education of the population – as a key factor in the development of the national economy of Germany, which is especially important for improving the attractiveness of structurally weak areas of the country. In particular, the trends are considered as positive impulses for the growth of the hospitality and tourism industry, extending to other sectors of the economy, such as trade, crafts or agriculture. From the analysis of the latest trends in the development of the hospitality and tourism industry, it can be stated that international tourism in Germany in 2023 and at the beginning of 2024 almost recovered to the pre-pandemic level: there was a dynamic growth of inbound tourism, an important stimulus for this process was the organization of EURO-2024 , the market for international business trips recovered particularly quickly, the process of introducing innovations was intensified, a pilot project was launched with an influential face in the field of AI, new programs for the development of barrier-free tourism were developed, the focus of global marketing was on the problems of developing cultural tourism, in the largest outbound markets new city travel programs were presented, new proposals for the sustainable development of tourism were proposed, and there was an extremely dynamic recovery of inbound tourism from China. This work will help researchers in the analysis of new post-pandemic trends in the development of the travel and hospitality industry; to carry out comprehensively substantiated forecasting for the long-term perspective of the sustainable development of international tourism and hospitality; to study the problems and new competitive advantages of enterprises in the hospitality and tourism industry. The prospects for further scientific research in this direction is the development of proposals for the strategic development of the domestic hospitality and tourism industry on the basis of the introduction of effective German practices.
TO THE QUESTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF WAR (MILITARY) TOURISM IN UKRAINE

The relevance of the study is due to the prospects for the development of military tourism in Ukraine at the present time and after the end of active hostilities. The aim and objectives of the study are to analyze the essence and structure of this type of tourism, to identify the main challenges faced by this segment of the tourism market and the possibilities of their solution. The article applies systemic-structural and dialectical approaches to the consideration of the problems using the methods of analysis, synthesis, systematization, and modeling. It has been established that military tourism is a multi-segment phenomenon that unites all travels whose main motive is interest in military events and/or military equipment. These trips can be real and virtual, and can be made both to safe areas and to the zone of active hostilities. This type of tourism, like its subtypes, does not have a single name. The existing terminological uncertainty prevents the formation of a clear proposal. The controversial nature of the issue of whether travel to the area of active hostilities belongs to military tourism hinders the definition of the essence of this phenomenon and the development of regulatory support. This, in turn, does not allow to organize legal tourism activities in this segment and to guarantee travel safety; it affects the identification of tourist resources and territories that can be considered as tourist destinations. Obviously, this complicates the training of personnel for this segment of the tourism market and does not allow for the quality organization of work with local communities. A separate issue is the problem of interpreting the military heritage of the Soviet and imperial periods, since the entire territory of Ukraine was a zone of active hostilities of the First and Second World Wars, and this cannot be ignored when organizing military tours. It is found out that the existing problems should be solved at several levels: state (regulatory and legal support), sphere of tourism (development of standards, protocols, research on the needs of the target audience, ways to involve representatives of territorial communities and military retirees, etc.), higher education institutions (updating educational and professional programs), travel agencies (forming offers), by combining the efforts of state authorities, representatives of local self-government bodies, research and teaching staff, and business.
BUILDING MATERIALS INDUSTRY: PROBLEMS AND DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
Authors:   West Ukrainian National University, Liakhovych Larysa
Published: November 2024

The article summarises the main challenges faced by the construction materials industry during the COVID-19 pandemic and the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion against Ukraine. The paper outlines the main trends in the development of the construction materials industry in the global and national contexts. In particular, the global trends in the production of construction materials are as follows: growing demand for construction materials for residential construction due to the intensification of the urbanisation process; use of AI and IoT technologies; production of environmentally friendly and energy efficient materials; sale of construction materials on online markets, etc. The main trends in the development of the domestic building materials industry are the following: focusing of building materials producers on the domestic market; stimulation of demand by the State, expansion of State programmes; production of reliable building structures; production of energy-efficient building materials; use of alternative energy sources. It is concluded that in order to solve the problems, it is necessary to provide systematic support to the construction materials industry from the State to stimulate demand, and to increase production capacity by enterprises in view of the needs of reconstruction and restoration and taking into account existing trends. The construction materials industry systematically develops new and improves existing building materials and applies the latest production technologies. The main trends in the production of construction materials relate to the use of environmentally friendly materials, which has a number of advantages: the use of environmentally friendly materials has a positive impact on both the environment and human health; the use of local raw materials in the production of construction materials helps to reduce operating costs and, consequently, the cost of a construction project; the use of local raw materials in the production of construction materials creates additional workplaces in related areas. Given the new macroeconomic trends in the construction sector, the opportunity for further transformation of the construction materials industry is high.

Se analiza el lugar que ocupan las imágenes educativas en la construcción de las identidades, las relaciones sociales y el sentido de la vida contemporánea. Diversos autores concuerdan aquí que las imágenes, más que percepciones de la realidad, son construcciones que educan nuestro lugar en el mundo. Se analiza el uso de la imagen en medios como los Libros de Texto Gratuitos proporcionados por la SEP, museos comunitarios, periódicos nacionales, murales, carteles y producciones audiovisuales masivas a fin de analizar el discurso que dejan inmerso, así como sus repercusiones en la educación y la construcción de identidad.
Borders, buscones, brothels, and bi-national markets: Haitian women negotiate how to get through
Authors: Petrozziello Allison , Wooding Bridget
Published: November 2024

The 2010 earthquake and cholera outbreak in Haiti have given a push to women’s migration to the Dominican Republic, and risk of being trafficked. Employing a feminist ethnographic approach, this case study examines the experiences of Haitian women and girls in the Dominican border town of Comendador, Elías Piña, to understand the choices and calculated risks they take in order to “get through.” The authors situate trafficking within a spectrum of violence against women along a border marked by radically asymmetrical power relations, and call for coordinated social interventions beyond law enforcement that guarantee effective protection in the cross-border context.
