The issues of delineating the mountain areas as an object of support of socio-economic development are examined. The 2021-2027 State Regional Development Strategy adopted by the Government of Ukraine stipulates the transition to a territory-oriented development policy. The Strategy provides the types of territories that require special attention on part of the state and the application of specific mechanisms and tools to stimulate their development. Mountain areas are indicated among such territories, which requires substantiation and institutionalization of the concept of mountain areas. The paper compares the domestic practice and relevant European approaches to delineation and granting the status of mountain areas to some territories. The features of the methodology of territorial typology in the delineation of mountain areas used in the EU Member States are outlined. In particular, the categories of mountain areas, the methods and criteria for their identification based on digital analysis of topographic data on the relief are indicated. The mechanisms of external support of sustainable development and improvement of the economic competitiveness of mountain areas in the EU Member States are determined. The features of domestic practice in supporting mountain areas focused on mountain settlements are outlined, and the interpretation of mountain areas in strategic documents and legislation of Ukraine is analyzed. The conclusions regarding the need to improve the mechanisms of state support of mountain areas in Ukraine and approaches and criteria to their identification are made. The difficulties of application in Ukraine of the methodology used in the EU due to the lack of necessary mapping-digital framework are emphasized. The option of not abandoning the domestic practice of considering the settlements as mountain ones is suggested. Yet, the category of mountain areas should include the territories of administrative-territorial units of the basic level where half and over half settlements have the mountain status.

The 2021-2027 State Regional Development Strategy considers, among others, mountain areas of the Ukrainian Carpathians as areas characterized by specific socio-economic development problems and requiring territorially directed support. The paper outlines the substantiated and suggested by the author methodological approaches to determining the types of problem mountain areas and tools of external support of their development. According to the provisions of the 2021-2027 State Regional Development Strategy, the list of mountain areas of region is outlined. A range of criteria (economic capacity, unemployment, dynamics of the population), indicators, and their parameters are suggested to group mountain areas by their socio-economic development levels. The economic capacity of mountain territorial communities of the Ukrainian Carpathians region is calculated. Three groups of communities are determined based on the calculations: I – reasonably developed communities with average and above-average socio-economic development level (community budget revenues level per capita not less than 90% of the average rate for Ukraine); II – problem communities with socio-economic development level below average (50-90%); III – crisis communities with limited economic capacities (less than half of the average rate in Ukraine). Economic tools of mountain policy are substantiated and offered by each of the allocated groups of areas. They include the strengthening of existing tools of horizontal budget alignment and fostering the participation of the State Regional Development Fund and international technical assistance tools, etc. in infrastructural development of the II group communities; introduction of the special investment activity regimen on the territories of the III group communities with the view to create new jobs for the residents of mountain areas.

The hostilities in Ukraine in 2022 had a devastating effect not only on the critical infrastructure of the regions but also on the educational infrastructure, resulting in the loss by some educational institutions of the ability to perform their functions, and other educational infrastructure began to perform functions not typical for them, including the accommodation of temporarily displaced persons. The article aims to outline the peculiarities of the functioning of the educational infrastructure in territorial communities during the war and to identify its exploitation problems and risks. The following methods are used for the study: abstract-logical, comparative analysis, graphical visualization, and statistical. The article analyzes the functioning of secondary educational institutions of territorial communities during the war in Ukraine. The regional peculiarities of the scale of the educational infrastructure destruction are clarified. Peculiarities and problems of exploitation of the territorial communities’ educational infrastructure in relatively stable regions are revealed. The algorithm of actions taken by local authorities of territorial communities to realize the exploitation of the infrastructure of educational institutions for a temporary stay of temporarily displaced persons is considered. The following risks caused by the war are identified: loss of human capital due to migration processes among students and educators, risks of financing general secondary education and reducing the quality of educational services, and limited possibility of resuming offline learning due to the destruction of educational institutions and the need for misuse. The peculiarities and problems of the organization of external independent evaluation in the conditions of martial law are analyzed, in particular, the simplification of the procedure of external evaluation and a number of risks for future applicants are clarified.
