The article examines the approaches to assessing the development of territorial communities in Ukraine in the context of financial decentralization and full-scale war. The study is based on a comparison of the official methodology for assessing the capacity of territorial communities with the developed integral Community Development Index. Attention is focused on the fact that formal statistical indicators do not always reflect the real state of the development of the territory, the level of satisfaction of residents and the effectiveness of local government.
The study had used a combination of quantitative statistical data and the results of sociological surveys of the population. This made it possible to assess not only the financial and demographic parameters of the development, but also the level of trust in local authorities, a sense of security, social cohesion and perception of the quality of life in the community. The methodology was tested on the example of the Myronivka urban territorial community of Kyiv region, the Kaniv urban territorial community of Cherkasy region, the Trostyanets settlement territorial community of Vinnytsia region and the Lyubeshivka settlement territorial community of Volyn region.
The results of the study showed that high indicators of the capacity of a community do not always ensure a high level of its actual success. It was found that in wartime conditions, the security component, institutional stability of local government bodies and the level of civic cohesion acquire special importance. At the same time, it was established that individual compact communities can demonstrate higher management efficiency and better social and economic results compared to communities with greater resource potential.
The feasibility of using an integrated approach to assessing community development as a tool for strategic planning, monitoring and making management decisions is substantiated. The proposed author’s version of the success index of territorial communities can be used to identify problem areas of territorial development, form financial policy priorities and support community restoration processes in the context of the development of financial decentralization reform and long-term military challenges.
