The purpose of the article is an implementation of the comparative analyses of development of regional markets of cultural and cognitive tourism in Ukraine. The theoretical and methodological basis of research is the ideas of the theoryof tourism, theory of management, works of the leading native and foreign scholars regarding the development of the touristic services market. To achieve the desired goal, the following research methods were used: the system and complex analyses (for determination of the development tendencies of the regional markets of the cultural and cognitive tourism in Ukraine); calculation-analytical and comparative methods (for determination of the centers of the regional markets of the cultural and cognitivetourism in Ukraine); cartographical method (for visual demonstration of the emphasized touristic regions of the cultural and cognitive tourism in Ukraine). The regionalized territory of Ukraine according to the development of the cultural and cognitivetourism, which is based on the calculation of average data of the quantity of themuseums according to the regions, analysis of their visitations and of the volume of the tourist flows permitted to emphasize four formed regions of the cultural and cognitive tourism: Western, including Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Chernivtsi, Zakarpattia, Volyn, Rivne and Khmelnytsk regions; Northern – city of Kyiv and Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad regions; Eastern – Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Luhansk regions; Southern - Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odesa regions. The conducted analyses of the emphasized regions permitted emphasize the modern tendencies of development of the cultural and cognitive tourism market in Ukraine, namely: the availability of substantial disparity of its development according to the regions of Ukraine; refocusing of the touristic flows from the South-Eastern regions to the North-Western as a result of annexation of Crimea and military conflict in the east of Ukraine; the sustained development of the cultural and cognitive tourism of the North region at the expense of the extensivediversification of the available offer and possibility to meet the requirements of all groups of tourists; the highest rates of development of the cultural and cognitive tourism in the West region caused by the attraction of the tourists from the other regions of Ukraine with activation of the natural and historical advantages use.

Objective. The objective of the article is the analysis of the state and features of e-government development in the world in 2010-2020. Methods. The following methods and techniques of cognition are used in the research process: theoretical generalization and comparison, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, grouping. Results. According to the results of the study, it is substantiated that the most representative and authoritative among the indicators that allow to assess the level of development of e-government is the indicator of EGDI; this indicator is calculated on the basis of three complex indicators: the volume and quality of online services, the development of online services (OSI), the state of development of telecommunications infrastructure (TII), human capital (HCI); the EGDI value varies from 0 to 1, where 0 is the minimum value, and 1 is the maximum one. Countries of the world are differentiated according to the value of EGDI into four groups: countries with a very high and high level of e-government development, countries with medium and low level of e-government development. It is established that in 2010-2020: the level of development of e-government in the world increased (if in 2010 the average EGDI in the world was 0,45, in 2020 it was 0,6); there were significant country and macro-regional asymmetries and disparities in the development of e-government. It is substantiated that the undisputed leader among macro-regions in terms of development and speed of transformations aimed at the development of e-government was Europe, the outsider was Africa; the most significant success in the development of e-government in the world was achieved in ensuring the development of human capital, the least — in ensuring the development of telecommunications infrastructure, although the most dynamic transformations in macro-regions were in this direction. Among the countries with the greatest success in the development of e-government were Denmark, the Republic of Korea, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Netherlands; the smallest — Eritrea, CAR, Chad, Niger, Guinea-Bissau.

Objective. The objective of the article is to study the essence, attributes and specific features of the development of electronic governance as a new phenomenon of public administration. Methods. The following methods and techniques of cognition are applied in the research process: theoretical generalization and comparison, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, grouping. Results. It is established that at the current stage of the development of the theory of public administration, a transformation of the idea of ​​an optimal system of public administration is taking place (transition from a hierarchical system to a horizontal, network system of administration); the subject and object structure of social development management is expanding; the principles of social management are changing; there is a transition from "state-centrism" to "people-centrism". It is substantiated that the most complex concept that reflects modern changes in the theory of social management as fully as possible is the concept of "governance". The main principles of good public administration ("Good Governance") are defined and the features of their evolution are presented. It is substantiated that Good Governance and e-governance are closely related in terms of goals, objectives and principles.Based on the analysis of the variability of the author's approaches to understanding the essence of the concept of "e-governance", the three most common approaches to the interpretation of the essence of this term have been identified: administrative, within which e-governance is understood as a form, a way of organizing state administration, state power; technological and procedural, within which e-government is understood as the use of information and telecommunication technologies (ICT) by the public sector in order to increase the efficiency of the latter's performance of functions; instrumental, within which e-government is understood as an attribute and condition for the formation and development of the information society. The models of interaction that arise between the subjects of public administration in the conditions of the introduction of e-government, stages, development factors and attributes of e-government are identified.

Objective. The objective of the article is to research modern approaches to the effectiveness of public authorities and the peculiarities of their economic assessment at the local level. Methods. The methods of theoretical search, analysis and synthesis, systematization and generalization, scientific abstraction, tabular method, and statistical research methods (for determining economic efficiency indicators) were used in the performance of this scientific research. Results. Based on the theoretical generalization of the approaches of Ukrainian scientists regarding the definition of the categories "management efficiency", "effectiveness" and "efficiency" in relation to the activities of public authorities (accepted for the state and municipal level as a single interpretation), it is determined that it is managerial, social, economic and political a category determined by the influence of the subject of management on the object of management with the aim of achieving the set goal (result), in which the object of management moves to a new state with the optimal use of resources needed to support such a transition. As a methodological basis, the work implements a mixed approach to evaluation, which is a compilation of the composite approach (which aims to determine the degree of influence of managerial work on the performance of the government body as a whole) and the multiple approach (which is an attempt to evaluate efficiency using generalizing indicators). With its use, an assessment of the economic efficiency of the municipal authorities of the city of Kryvyi Rih was carried out. By means of the analysis of indicators of resource strategic efficiency and general indicators of economic efficiency of public authorities (municipal authorities) of the city of Kryvyi Rih in 2019-2021, a high level of efficiency was ascertained, which ensures the return of all available resources of the territorial community and meets the goals of regional development and strategic interests of the state.
