The main purpose of the article is to present a model for managing the process of sustainable development of a territorial society. Based on the analysis of existing approaches and technologies for managing the sustainable development of territorial communities in the practice of public administration in Ukraine, the article proposes a novel model which is grounded on a complex interpretation of the continuums of the economic, social, and environmental conditions of these criteria in the Cartesian coordinates and allows making management decisions regarding plans, programs, and projects for community development which result from the comparative analysis and assessment of the set goals, tasks and expected outcomes, taking into account their compliance/non-compliance with all three criteria at the same time. The research methodology involves the use of the modeling method. The information-gene model of sustainable development of regional social systems is used. Of the novelty, it should be noted the rethinking of the essence of modeling. The graphic-analytical method allows you to systematically establish quantitative and qualitative relationships between the individual elements of the object of study.
