Management of the development of the social infrastructure of the municipal district (on the example of the Verkhnemamonsky district of the Voronezh region)

Significant changes in social and political life that the country has been undergoing over the past two decades have also had a significant impact on the social infrastructure. At the same time, this influence is characterized by both positive and negative consequences. As for the provision of the population of the territory with goods, retail outlets, places of public catering, it can be recognized that a positive trend is observed in the area under consideration. However, other areas of social infrastructure are developing at a slow pace: this applies to educational, health care and cultural institutions. These difficulties are largely due to the transfer of social institutions from the balance sheet of industrial organizations to maintenance at the expense of the budget of municipalities. Based on the analysis of extensive statistical and factual information, the article considers current trends and problems in the development of local self – government in one of the country's subjects-the Voronezh region. The study of the identified trends in the development of the region allowed us to identify a number of problems and divide them into a range of long-term and short-term solution horizons. This allowed us to substantiate promising directions for the development of local self-government.
