The article is devoted to determining the priority directions of local self-government bodies’ activity in the development of regions. Local self-government bodies are public entities that are empowered to deal with issues that are relevant to the well-being of the respective territorial community. Protecting the interests of the local community is a key objective of local self-government. The reform of local self-government in Ukraine is currently underway, the main purpose of which is decentralization of state power with the provision of territorial communities with resources and the mobilization of their internal reserves to provide the population with an adequate level of services. Such a goal could be achieved through effective local government action on regional development. The article analyzes the normative and legal support of the capacities of local self-government bodies to determine the priority opportunities for the development of regions and to provide support for such development. It is established that the local self-government bodies in determining the priority directions of development of the regions should take into account various factors such as: geographical, demographic, personnel, environmental, economic, historical and cultural. Attention is drawn to the need for a comprehensive approach to the analysis of such factors by local governments. The article analyzes a number of factors that have a negative impact on the current state of regional development. The directions of activity of local self-government bodies to avoid or minimize the consequences of such influence on the development of regions are suggested. It has been established that local governments can use tax, information, innovation and other measures of influence in order to stimulate priority directions of regional development. The emphasis is placed on the role of local authorities in the development of tourist attractiveness of regions, in particular in the field of international and interregional cooperation as a means of forming a positive image of the regions, providing information and financial support for the development of this area of regional development.

Informal partnerships between nonprofit organizations (NPOs) and local governments represent a winning combination for affective positive social change in communities. These partnerships thrive on the development and sustainment of trust as a guiding force between NPO executives and their local government counterparts. Qualitative case study research reveals such an assertion to be true, based on interviews and document reviews of informal partnerships in a metropolitan area in the Northwest United States. The implications for social change include establishing successful models of informal partnerships between NPOs and local governments that impact the social and economic well-being of communities.

Changing Role

The article considers the changing role of the state and local governments in the development of local economies in modern conditions. Decentralization caused the decreased role of the state in ensuring the development of local economies. At the same time, the significance of territorial management bodies aimed at improving the level and quality of life in their communities increased. Today, local authorities can render quality services to residents of the territorial community employing innovative approaches to management, planning, and technological support for the development. The financial support for the development of territorial communities takes a special place in the implementation of these ambitious plans. Therefore, a special task for the newly created governing bodies is to increase the level of financial security and well-being of the residents of the territorial community.

SummaryThe European Pact for Mental Health and Well-being, launched in 2008, expresses a commitment of the EU and Member States to implement a mental health strategy in Europe. Recognizing that the level of mental health and well-being in the population is a key resource for the success of the EU as a knowledge-based society and economy, the Pact concludes that action for mental health and well-being at EU-level needs to be developed by involving policy makers and all relevant stakeholders. Given the specific content of their discipline and the prestige they have in our societies, psychiatrists will certainly have a key role in the development of the strategies proposed by the Pact. The purpose of this paper is to review the background, objectives and outcomes of the European Pact for Mental Health and Well-being, and reflect on the future role of psychiatrists in the light of its implementation.

Government Reforms

<p>The role of local government and specifically the concept of community governance have been the focus of much attention in recent years. For much of its history, local government was typically viewed by governments and citizens as a conservative sector, valued for its dependability rather than for innovation and its services rather than for its role in promoting community well-being. Public sector reform, globalisation and increasing demands by citizens have increased awareness of, and appreciation for, the potential for local governments to work with other organisations to address complex policy and management issues. These pressures have compelled the sector to innovate, and venture into areas that were previously considered to be outside its remit. Local governments the world over have therefore undergone extensive programmes of reform, often aiming to reorient councils from service delivery roles to broader roles concerned with community well-being, strengthening community leadership, and steering local and regional service providers towards local goals and strategic objectives. This trend has been characterised as a shift from local government to ‘community governance’ (Rhodes 1997, Stoker 2000). Local government in New Zealand is no exception. The Local Government Act 2002 (LGA 2002) broadened local government’s powers and purposes, introducing a collaborative, citizen-centred style of working within a framework oriented to securing community well-being and sustainable development. This research examines the concept and practice of local and community governance, internationally and in New Zealand. Its focus is the local government reforms introduced in New Zealand over the last two decades, and specifically the role of community governance. It uses several research methods to assess options for strengthening community governance in practice. The primary method is the development of a model which examines 10 dimensions of the New Zealand system to assess the degree to which they are able to achieve community governance. In addition, the approach to community planning undertaken by a sample of local authorities is examined to assess the degree to which councils are using this mechanism as an instrument for strengthening community governance. Further, a number of local government participants were invited to answer a range of questions about three alternative governance scenarios designed to test whether or not there is an ‘ideal’ local government structure for achieving community governance.</p>

New Sealand, closely related to the concept of micronation, was born as a dream of freedom, an experiment that idealizes the future but does not want to stop working to meet the expectations of that admired future. Like any googie of its own, with its feet on the ground and looking at the sky, all the ingredients that will form part of this experiment, which takes place on a naval defence platform abandoned about 20km from the English coast, are carefully chosen. Then, born from a collection of our concerns and interests, both as future architects and as people, one by one were emerging the unique characters, already mature and far from being simple concerns begin to colonize the place and end up owning the experiment. In this context, architecture is a container and content, an ecology that facilitates interactions between people, technologies, machines, nature, art, music, colours, flavours, dreams and nightmares, etc., all of which are disordered and harmonised from the subjectivity of time. This gives each personality the capacity to judge the suitability of the designs, which far from being static, become an anonymous poem made by all and yet to be made, which is perfected in time thanks to the modifications and contributions of each inhabitant. And this poem, this architecture in which they coexist, turns out to be the point where people converge and the community emerges, the nexus of union of such disparate identities that with discrepancies and affinities, work in collaboration so that this community is the best version of itself, and from there lay the foundations of a future that admires progress and trusts technology and advances the role of providers of well-being and strength, which is in a way the same future that the googies dreamed of and never arrived. The world is hopelessly broken, but it is also so big and so full of people that it would be wearisome, and despite any effort, also impossible to put it back together. In this circumstance the important thing is not the discovery of these fragments, but what we each do with them, because in part that is what defines us as people.
