ORGANIZATIONAL MECHANISM OF SYSTEM OF MANAGING CIVIL PROTECTION OF POPULATION IN NATIONAL AND REGIONAL DIMENSIONS

Abstract

The article emphasizes that in modern conditions the choice of rational state policy in the field of public safety and protection of the critical facilities in emergencies involves the study of basic theoretical and practical approaches to the organization of the public administration system in Ukraine.

The author notes that the analysis and assessment of the public administration is much more difficult because they are closely interrelated with the public administration and economic situation in Ukraine, the uncertainty of a number of socio-political and economic-administrative problems that directly affect the entire public administration system. This is especially true in today’s world, when the world development factors can be seen as hampering the development, when more and more countries are thinking about the protection of the national values (and in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, which is becoming a global trend). In this regard, in the public administration the important value in the methodological aspect is given to the organizational methods of solving the problem that are used to achieve the stated goal. The article notes that recently the attention of scientists to issues related to the system of organizational mechanisms of the public administration of the national security has increased significantly. Among them it is worth noting such authors as T. Kravtsova, H. Kalinichenko, V. Voronkova, A. Obolensky, O. Korotych, A. Kharchuk, R. Sukach and others, who devoted their research to various aspects of this issue. But, in our opinion, modern researchers focus mainly on individual issues, while the issue of transforming Ukraine into an effective state in terms of ensuring an effective national security policy, especially in matters of civil protection has not yet been the subject of comprehensive scientific and practical study, in turn, requires a systematic analysis of the role and place of the civil protection of the population in the public administration of public safety as part of the national security. Based on this, the purpose of the article is to analyze the main scientific approaches to the organizational mechanisms of the public administration of civil protection in the state and regional dimensions in the transition period of development. The article proves that in the most general and approximate form we can assume that in the modern period the organization of the public administration of Ukraine objectively faces the following tasks:

1. Modernization of the entire system of the public administration in Ukraine, further decentralization of the state power, optimization of the existing system of the executive power.

2. Deployment and strengthening of the social institutions that ensure sustainable democratic development of the society and the state.

3. Formation and practical implementation of the state policy aimed at ensuring public safety and protection of the critical facilities.

4. Ensuring the internal and external security of the public administration at the regional level, creating favourable peaceful conditions (in the context of hostilities in parts of Ukraine, which is especially important) for the life of the region.

5. Achieving harmonious, balanced and interconnected development of the regions in cooperation with the center on the basis of deepening the processes of formation and functioning of the nationwide market.

The question of the content and structure of the public administration functions in the field of public safety and protection of the critical facilities is to determine the place and role of the regional actors in the public administration in a particular area of life. The place and role of the region determine its content and form, and then the administration functions and other features. Based on the research, the structure and main activities of the security system, which should be considered as a set of structures in the field of state power of Ukraine and local governments, organizations and citizens, as well as specially created government, forces and means, who carry out purposeful activities and are directly involved in the implementation of goals and objectives of security in the field of civil protection.
