CONNECTION OF THE WORLDVIEW EXPECTATIONS OF CITIZENS TO THE HOUSING POLICY OF THE STATE

Abstract

The development of worldview expectations of citizens is a natural, orderly and inevitable changes in the perception of the subject, to have the right to the object, due to the tendency of constant social transformations. The worldview expectations of citizens for the realization of their right to housing combine the theory of the nature of things, the philosophy of values and the theory of forms of being as phenomenological concepts of law and consist of the legal consciousness of each individual separately and society as a whole. When analysing studies of the worldview expectations of citizens with any state policy, including housing, one should consider the natural duality of each person, which requires an integrated approach to considering the problem of the functioning of interrelated factors, namely: society, the system of legal norms, personality, human internal perception of real and the actual actions of the subjects of the relevant regulations. In modern conditions, the worldview and legal thinking in Ukrainian society is undergoing a process of transformation from a system of socialist perception of mutual obligations to democratic principles of the development of political perception, considering the European integration course of the country, therefore, it is at a transformational stage. Insufficient housing has traditionally been a powerful potential source of dissatisfaction for citizens living in post-Soviet countries. This is largely due to the legacy of the Soviet system when the state provided housing to families based on non-market principles. Another reason is the traditional shortage of housing in the Soviet era. One way or another, the housing affordability situation remains a pressing political issue. People who are dissatisfied with their housing situation are more likely to be critical of the country's government, while home and apartment owners are more susceptible to government support. Among the potential sources of instability in post-Soviet Eurasia, researchers have traditionally paid much more attention to general economic problems and political conflicts. However, the tension created by the unresolved housing issue is a long-term challenge, which is dangerous to ignore. The paternalistic hopes of a large part of the population of Ukraine (as well as the entire post-Soviet space) for the decisive role of the state in providing citizens with housing are still preserved. To some extent, such sentiments are supported by the social orientation of the current Constitution of Ukraine, adopted in this form in 1996 as a political compromise. Nevertheless, the norms of the Basic Law are the norms of direct action. Whether the state creates such conditions in practice can be asked of families who for decades have been almost without advancing in the queues for housing in local authorities.
