Institute of Demography and Social Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Ukraine

Abstract. The purpose of the paper is to study the relationship of the formation and implementation of the range of 
social needs with the evolution and activity is focused on the improvement of the territorial organization of society. 
Methodology of research involves: the substantiation of the origin, factors for the development, approaches to clas-
sification, functions of public needs in the development of state and society; the study of the socio-humanitarian 
space of formation and realization of the needs of individuals, functional and territorial communities, as well as a 
mechanism of their satisfaction at the national and spatial scales (on the example of Ukraine – a country with a 
developing economy, wherein the decentralization of powers in the field social welfare and consolidation of local 
communities are implemented at present). Results. Summarized and proved the patterns and trends of develop-
ment, evolution, transformation of needs of social groups, functional and territorial communities of the population, 
as well as the relationship of these processes with the economic and institutional capacities and mechanisms of 
satisfaction of the spectrum of social needs in consideration of peculiarities, achieved and desired parameters of 
development of productive forces, human and other components of the social and humanitarian potential, cultural 
features of the society. The development of the institutional, functional and territorial organization of society, in 
fact, is a process of formation and implementation in the range of human needs (individual and collective), which 
is estimated with the factors, conditions and mechanisms of their satisfaction, including through the dynamics of 
the positions of the spectrum of social groups and subjects concerning the required amount of vital goods con-
sumption. Practical implications. Social and political transformation stimulates the establishment of the multidirec-
tional formation in the Ukrainian economy of public goods, combining public and private (private commercial and 
non-profit) enterprises, institutions, organizations, that: provide services to the various strata of the population, 
which normalized within social guarantees volume and quality (based on public procurement, temporary contracts 
and corporate contacts, supported in the case of fulfillment of the conditions of resource intensity, the volume of 
budget financing, quality, terms of providing goods and services); are coordinated by budgetary and fiscal policy. 
Significant factors of development of local communities and improvement of the investment climate in the regions 
are: the provision of social mobility (basis – an adequate level of personal incomes, the implementation of state 
policy for employment creation and assistance in the household arrangement of hired employees); socio-economic 
activation of the population (through the promotion of entrepreneurship, self-employment and innovation activity 
of business entities, labor migrations, improvement of professional and qualification potential of labor resources). 
Value/originality. Regulation of the organizational and economic mechanism of implementation of legislative guar-
antees for consumption of socially necessary services, satisfaction of the individualized needs of the Ukrainian pop-
ulation, will contribute to: the improvement of the territorial organization of social infrastructure in accordance 
with the goals of the reform of administrative structure and enhancement the of the social powers of local budgets; 
increase of the effectiveness in processes of reproduction and the capitalization of socio-humanitarian potential.

Key words: public needs, social capital, welfare economics, public guarantees, socio-humanitarian space, territorial 
organization of society.

1. Introduction
Social needs in their individual, collective, territorial 

and public measurements are permanent leading factor 
and indicator of socioeconomic development (including 
aspects of reproduction and capitalization of socio-
humanistic potential, providing and improvement 
of organizational and economic mechanism, social 
services and protection of population). The reason of 
rapid development of social security system and social 
insurance, fast accumulation of investments for realization 
of above said functions and for the world leading countries 
from the second half of XX century (as well as expansion 
of welfare state idea with characteristics of relevant quality 
of life and social security of citizens) is seen in necessity 
of increasing legitimacy of development model realized 
by present-day leaders of global economy. In particular, it 
is about versatile assistance to the management structure 
based on the latest technologies, and the industry focused 
on the mass consumer (El’yanov, 2003).

Transformation human and other components of the 
social capital into the key factors of socio-economic 
progress of the countries at industrial and post-industrial 
stages of development confirmed the importance of 
social protection in state policy of ensuring stable growth 
rates, and components providing of national security (in 
particular, to provide public consent). It’s based on the 
concepts of socially-oriented market economy and the 
social state, policy which is directed on the creation of all-
round conditions of person development and realization of 
its potential for worthy life providing with own hands. The 
social security is understood as legislatively recorded array 
of the social benefits which are undertaken with the state 
to make available to the citizens. The contents and basis of 
an institutionalizing are seen in social needs of the person 
as biosocial creature, exponents’ satisfaction of which 
at all levels of society organization (individual, family, 
collective, all-civil) and resettlement (local, regional, and 
nation-wide), define quality of life.

Taking into account the motives for self-development, 
leading world states pay essential attention to regulation 
of labour-resources providing of local management 
systems, increasing of their functioning efficiency in a way 
of innovative realization potential of economically active 
population and widening of its productive employment 
sphere, supporting of social (including interethnic, 
interfaith) stability of territorial communities (Shlihter, 
2002; Goffa, 2003; Lexin, Gritsyuk, Lexin, 2005).

In a way, the goal of the paper is the investigation of 
process interrelationship of formation and realization of a 
social needs range with evolution and purposeful activities 
for the territorial organization improvement of society. 
It presumes: justification of origin, development factors, 
approaches to classification, functions of social needs 
for development of the state and society; study of socio-
humanistic space of formation and realization of individual 
needs, functional and territorial communities, and also the 

mechanism of their satisfaction at the nation-wide and 
spatial levels (in particular, on the example of Ukraine 
as emerging economies). Considering interdisciplinary 
categories, social needs, social capital, formation and 
realization of socio-humanistic space, the methodology of 
research which assumes generalization and coordination 
of the array of socio-anthropological, sociological, socio-
economical, economical and institutional, politological, 
culturological approaches which explain regularities and 
tendencies of formation, evolution, transformation of 
social groups requirements, functional and territorial 
communities of population, and also economic and 
organizational opportunities, mechanisms of their 
satisfaction taking into account features are reached of 
parameters in development of productive forces and socio-
cultural environment of society (Bogush, 2013).

2. Origins and functions of social needs  
in state and social development

The social needs of individual and population in 
present world are dual derivated of their biological and 
socially generated components and also above mentioned 
conditions and factors of formation and development 
of human populations and state society, supranational 
administrative formations. Thus, social requirements are 
based first of all on the original (primary) human needs 
with formation and changes of interpersonal, family, 
collective, public relations and interactions of individuals, 
social groups and layers evolve into the array of derivative 
(quasi) needs are defined with components of subjects 
behaviour which individually motivated and socially 
caused. Thus certain transformation, conditioned with 
standards of behaviour and features of interactions in 
society, other cultural influence and ideological factors 
continue to develop and suffer with the contents and 
mechanisms of satisfaction and natural need of individual. 
According to socially-economic approach, the main 
part of already mentioned needs (except for especially 
physiological), should be classified as the block of primary 
bio-social requirements connected with material and 
domestic providing, achievement and maintenance of life 
safety and environmental activity and also reproduction as 
social protection frame and translation of knowledge and 
experience within generations.

In the context of civilized development, social needs 
(first of all in organization of collective life, self-affirmation 
and implementation of leader functions, knowledge, 
amateur performance and self-realization) are considered 
as the highest goals of society activity which form its own 
values, in other words, abstract ideas which realize public 
ideals and thanks to it serve as a benchmark (Sydorchuck, 
Kozak, 2008). Social values are conviction about goals that 
should be achieved which wide known and recognized in 
society or social community and also ways and resources 
for their realization (Pavlychenko, Litvinenko, 2002). 
Therefore the basis of formation and regulatory function of 
valuable orientations of personal, establishment of which

are an inherent aspect of all human socialization. Hierarchy 
of social and community values (the main categories 
include: theoretical, economic, political, law, moral, 
social, esthetical, and religious) defines the hierarchy of 
personal values and significantly influences on the history 
of society. Founding on its own values and valuable 
orientations, society, state, nation or certain social group 
create the standard of behaviour as requirements which 
are obligatory in a way of performance for life regulation 
and effective society functioning, adjustment of necessary 
members interaction (Shchokin, Popovich, Karmazina 
and others, 2000). The social norms are produced as 
public institute and authorities with the state are presented 
with constitutions, laws, the state industry, construction, 
sanitary standards and standards, instructions and other. 

In the specified context (including aspect of set in life 
support systems) it is expedient to consider development 
of society, its functional and territorial organization as 
history of formation in a circle of personal needs, factors, 
conditions and mechanisms of their satisfaction and also 
with dynamics of social subjects’ positions of the vital 
benefits volume, rather necessary for consumption. In a 
way, primary and derivative needs of individuals and social 
groups which form society, substantially comprise signs of 
mental structures and other properties of these subjects, 
significantly influence on architecture, the purposes 
and organizational and economic mechanisms of social 
and state functioning (thus, such institute based on the 
agreement of a certain territorial community concerning 
the acceptable forms of the relationship and interaction of 
all its groups and layers).

Considering requirements of own safety, a territorial 
community, the state and in general society process must 
regulate of formation and hierarchization of each their 
members’ and social groups needs which appear in the 
course of education, work, communication and creativity 
in a certain cultural and social environment in process of 
acquisition in individual life experience and understanding 
of the socio-historical facts and regularities. The reference 
point provides rationing and control of corresponding 
process needs satisfaction for the established socially 
necessary volume and on the political and development 
stability.

Social component (characteristics of human resources; 
estimates of a demographic situation and criminogenic 
risks; indexes of labour and educational capacities of 
the region, its consumer market and communication 
infrastructure) was approved in estimate techniques of 
investment appealing of the countries and regions long 
ago, supplementing the indicators resulting from a level 
of development and efficiency of the human capital using 
(an assessment of economic development and potential, 
the characteristic of a level of development of the market 
relations and business, including a role in these processes 
of local authorities, tax system, financial sector and 
potential, market infrastructure) (Umanets, 2006). The 
leading selection criteria of the “problem” regions first of 

all needing the help to the central power in the sphere of 
creation of incentives of self-development (along with 
degree of development of production) are admitted 
the unemployment rate and prospects of expansion of 
employment (Schlichter, 2002; Goffe, 2003; Leksin, 
Gritsyuk, Leksin, 2005).

3. Classification, evolutional factors  
of social needs

Origin and evolution of human needs and society  
(as the highest level of self organization of populations’ 
living at the certain territory based on the general 
population origin and also community of emotional, 
language, communicational, professional, legal, and 
spiritual types of interaction (Boronoev, Smirnov, 2003) 
which found similarities in a list of such models and their 
classification. These models (A. Maslow, Zh. Godfrua, 
B.V. Prykin, F. Hertsberg, D. McKleland, K. Alderpher and 
others) are fully coordinated and interrelated don’t looking 
at the difference in in basic types of creation and level of 
generalization and considering the principal of primary 
needs transformation (Tarnavskaya, Pushkar’, 1997; 
Meskon, Albert, Hedowry. 2000; Khramov, Bovtruck, 
2001; Kolot, 2002; Hordey, 2003; Oganyan, Palamarchuk, 
Rumyantsev and others, 2003).

Beside with actualization of the highest level needs in 
the process of full satisfaction in the lowest their types, 
mentioned above classification models of social needs, 
help to make such conclusions:
– full satisfaction of the lowest level needs, connected 
with different aspects of life organization and providing 
of life security isn’t the exceptive condition for formation 
and needs satisfaction of higher level (intellectual, self 
realization and moral development).
– system of human needs in society forms and realizes 
with inseparable entire and algorithm in post-industrial 
societies and as a rule it doesn’t correspond with on 
individual and collective (communal) levels of stable 
hierarchy and allow possibility about existence of some 
dominate needs;
– actualization of certain needs in the process of their 
variety satisfaction can be realized according not only to the 
certain socially accepted group or hierarchical algorithm 
family but also to the dependence of dynamic, technical 
life conditions, material possibilities and morally-ethnical 
postulates of person relatively to gradation and needs 
satisfaction. 
– the influence on value marks, life and development 
of personal needs of lower level makes stronger with 
existence in society objective and subjective difficulties for 
needs satisfaction of the higher level. 
– to the objective needs are included first of all difficulties 
generated of social system with the attributes of property 
separations’ deepening and formation of divisional society 
which is characterized with low-paid job for most wage 
and self employed workers and also a list of limitations 
in ensuring of vertical social mobility of population and

territory mobility of legally employed. As the result the 
prorated layers of workers and as a particular can’t fully 
satisfy needs in competitive able education, creasing of 
qualification and retraining, carrier development;
– technical and technological features of countries 
development, in the periods of social and economical 
irregularity, crisis of researches and natural cataclysms and 
others.

Subjective difficulties are connected with psychological 
features and individuals and social groups which are 
derived from moral and ethical doctrines don’t looking 
at level of material prosperity which are dangerous with 
consumer-oriented mind attitude, nepotism, decrease in 
requirements, lumpenization and asocial marginalization 
and as the result – degradation of development potential 
of society in the format of existing civil and political order.

Considered above regularity of origin and evolution 
of personal and social needs and also ways to their 
classification may be generalized with the help of 
hierarchical model which includes the next kinds of needs 
classified in order of intensification of their evolution and 
historical development of human and society:
– physiological, material and common needs (food, 
drinking, housing, habitat of acceptable quality, satisfaction 
of other physiological and domestic needs including 
concerning of a reproduction and the organization of a 
desirable lifestyle)
– needs of security (in feeling of the individual security 
and communities to which it belongs, in predictability of 
personally significant spheres and directions of activity, in 
health);
– needs of acquiring and straightening of social status (in 
a personal inclusiveness in society and certain community, 
in adequate perception around people, including in the 
family relations, career, leadership, etc.);
– needs of adoption (achievement of success and 
competence, approval and respect);
– informative needs (in knowledge and abilities, 
in research, understanding and under-standing, in 
accumulation and the analysis of experience);
– moral and religious and esthetical needs (in 
harmonization of the personality, society and environment, 
in particular in aspects of the organization of conditions 
and a way of life);
– needs for self-realization and self-updating (in the 
fullest realization and understanding of incentives of self-
development of internal creative, professional and spiritual 
potential of the personality, in understanding of social 
responsibility)

Considering the hierarchy and content of social needs 
array of human, social groups and whole society in general 
which socially-economic context must be outlined:
– on a functional purpose in the context of arrangement 
of activity and realization of system of values – material 
and household and welfare;
– according to historically developed mechanisms of 
requirements satisfaction – public (in their structure – 

general and socially necessary, formed and realized at the 
nation-wide, collective and individual levels), and also 
private;
– on emergency for the individual and social groups  – 
daily, periodic and incidental (it, in turn, created 
classification of consumer goods and services with the 
specified demand frequency, the territorial organization of 
the related economic activity and infrastructure).

The main factors of development and actualization of 
social needs are:
– scientific-technological (first of all state level features 
of scientific-technological progress, dynamic of modern 
circles and technically-technological statute);
– target and productive parameters of social development 
macrosystem (features and effective parameters of 
differentiation, including division with to property signs, 
level and ratio of the monetary and cumulative income, 
volumes of consumption of socially necessary material 
and household and welfare goods and services; education 
level, social and labour mobility of the population in a 
regional section; the contents and evolution of approaches 
to determination of volumes and structure of a state order 
for training of workers and experts, level of compensation, 
privileges and social benefits, to the taxation of labour and 
investment incomes, rendering primary and specialized 
medical care, provision of housing is low and the middle-
paid of layers, the organizations of access to information 
sources, spiritual and historical and cultural property); 
– culturally-ideological parameters (way of life of social 
groups and layers; the inherited and apprehended family, 
public and religious installations of worthy socioeconomic 
and household activity; the content of ideologies of national 
and ethnic self-identification of the population in aspects 
of the tolerant attitude towards representatives of other 
people, cultures and religions, opportunities and means of 
assimilation in society, including the acceptable types and 
mechanisms of economic activity and cooperation).

In globalization conditions of socially-economic 
processes of states functioning and national management 
system (as developing and which got the post-industrial 
level of developing) to main evolutional tenders of needs 
should be applied in the aspects: 

in aspects civilization and society-creativities:
– recognition of people equal rights on physical, 
intellectual, spiritual development and socially useful 
self-realization, and also a number of basic freedoms of 
the personality that provides creation of opportunities 
for achievement of a pyramid of requirements by each 
individual of top under an indispensable condition of fuller 
satisfaction of their basic types in material and household 
arrangement and ensuring safety of the environment of 
activity;
– globalization of developments, substantial filling and an 
hierarchization of needs for borders of the countries, their 
political and economic associations, and also on a global 
scale along with an individualization of requirements (first 
of all the highest);



Baltic Journal of Economic Studies

Vol. 1, No. 2, 2015
in aspects of political, organizational and economic:

– the constitutional recognition of the state concerning 
obligations their satisfaction in so-called socially necessary 
volume, formation of the contents and rationing of the 
corresponding guarantees that provides in particular 
standard and legal and target financial security (including 
standardization and control) activity in the sphere of 
production of goods and services, and also the development 
and improvement of the territorial organization of 
infrastructure intended for implementation of these 
obligations;
– realization of ideologies of filling of requirements 
of the highest levels (informative, in achievement of 
professional competence and the social status, satisfaction 
with parameters of personal realization) the contents 
consolidating society, derivatives of that are maintenance 
of political stability and national security, formation of 
actual social security systems, creation of potential of 
self-development of territorial communities, socially 
responsible orientation of business;

in aspect production and technological:
– orientation to industrial technologies of satisfaction 
of requirements along with transition from mass to the 
individualized consumption of the corresponding goods 
and services are organized thanks to marketing of their 
markets (as to the integral element of addressing of the 
state social security and profitability of business activity), 
to development of interactive forms of satisfaction of 
requirements (including trade catalogue, electronic 
and exit, remote services of education and medical 
consultation);
– socially-conscious optimization and reduction of 
material and household needs for interests of decreasing 
resource-and power consumption of economy, mitigation 
of negative anthropogenic effect on environment.

4. Socio-humanitarian space  
of social needs realization

The space of social and human (collective and 
interpersonal) relationship and connections or socio-
humanitarian which is localized in administratively-
territorial separating with array of immanent and biosocial 
human nature and popularity of relationship within 
main social institutes families, territorial and functional 
civil communities, state economy, the (i.e. between 
individuals, their groups and associations on status signs 
and the place of residence, subjects of managing and their 
associations, institutes of rationing, management and 
control of all activities’ spheres) concerning distribution 
and consumption of the benefits are created in a social 
production (material and non-material), reproduction, 
improvement and involvement of productive forces of the 
individual in economic activity (first of all her motivations 
and remuneration, external and in particular social 
efficiency). The purpose of these relations is formation 
and maintenance is wished (i.e. recognized expedient 
and rational, considering the available natural, material, 

human resources and reproduction conditions) social 
hierarchy, level and quality of life, the spatial organization 
of the environment of activity of society, and also level of 
coherence of interests of nationalities and faiths in regional, 
general and supranational scales (Bogush, 2010).  

The material basis of establishing and functioning 
of socio-humanitarian space are such public institutes, 
objects, their multipurpose networks and systems which 
for achievement, an institutionalizing and expansion of 
powers of authority, satisfaction of material and non-
material requirements, an exchange of products of 
managing and interaction (with maintenance of certain 
levels of communication, trust and consent), accumulation, 
an exchange, transfer and converting of knowledge, 
cultural experience and heritage, promoting of beliefs and 
creativity are created by individuals, collectives, territorial 
communities, other communities (voluntary associations) 
of compact accommodation, conducting, economic and 
culturally-religious activity.

In historical development socio-humanitarian space of 
compact living and housing in concrete human population, 
the list of steps happens from the array of hierarchically-
humanitarian relationship in family and culturally-
religious community to the system of social relationship 
about involvement into the production, reproduction, 
improvement and ensuring of full realization of production 
possibilities of human. The certain organization of 
distribution and consumption, forms the basis of above 
said processes which can satisfy the human needs and also 
the practice of realizing and participation to this ethnically-
culturally-religious and socially-political heritage and 
traditions. It considers the deepening of connections 
between social institutes, ensuring of mechanism stability 
and tendencies for their interactive, complex of correspond 
infrastructure about functional and territorial indicators or 
with other words the creation of balanced system of social, 
communal and interpersonal relationship and connecting 
which defines and leads all spheres of human life.  

The synergetic effect of formation and developing of 
socio-humanitarian space (which made stronger or fainter 
the existent connection and regularities of its functioning 
is brightly showed in demographical and ethno-national 
processes. The features of all-national identity of population 
in certain country in general and concrete citizen are 
provided with its’ historical experience, subjective realizing, 
dynamic of material position, self-realizing of social status 
and other circumstances which may be generalized with 
level of life satisfaction (Horshkov, Tikhonova, 2008). 
Demographical and ethnographical components of 
stability and balance of socio-humanitarian space it’s 
useful to under-stand as protection of living process and 
endless, natural and social reproduction of generations 
as representatives of title nation and racial minorities 
which are populated in certain region (country); their 
improvement is connected with increasing of life duration; 
increasing of demographic reproduction efficiency, 
getting a balance between array of national interests and 



Baltic Journal of Economic Studies

Vol. 1, No. 2, 2015
needs, ensuring of ethnographic and gender tolerance and 
equivalence (Nikitenko, Solodovnikov, Chernysh, 2008).  

Pointed main features of socio-humanitarian space tell 
about opportunity of complex research about content, 
connections and interactions of its subjects, mechanisms 
and forms of organization in territorial and time aspects 
which in particular, appear in such important characteristics 
of certain territory (local system of resettlement, region, 
district, etc.) as:
– level of its saturation with array of material elements 
which form and ensure of functioning of socio-
humanitarian space (objects and networks of organization 
non-production life with resource potential such as 
main founds, financing and staff ). This level is showed 
in indicators of their territorial resettlement (namely – 
differentiations, concentration, uniformity of placement 
in the territory of the population and economic activity 
on satisfaction of his material and household and 
welfare requirements), which first of all depend on the 
organizational form of management and resettlement. 
– level of connectedness, in institutional and functional 
structures of socio-humanitarian space in local system of 
resettlement in region or country in territorial and time 
aspect (complexity and quality of nomination and regulation 
of activity about realization and improvement of human 
production possibilities, distribution and consumption 
of material and non-material goods which were created in 
social production and satisfy an array of its’ needs; level and 
conditions of horizontal and vertical social mobility);
– socially-economical results of activity for satisfaction in 
materially-economic and socio-cultural needs; which are 
used for estimating of state efficiency.

Institutional characteristics of socio-humanitarian space 
are provided with qualities and dynamic of main social 
institutes:
– economical (in particular property and coordination of 
management activity)
– legal, including dominate institute of recourses 
circulation such as material, financial, political and others 
thanks of which infrastructure satisfies the non-production 
social needs (in the same time the legal institutes service as 
indicators of stratification and status structure of society);
– cultural (in the realizing of ways to institutionalization 
of moral, ethic, ideology as the basis of formulation and 
development of cultural subsystem of socio-humanitarian 
space).

5. Mechanism of social needs satisfaction  
at the national and territorial level

Actual problems in social ensuring of territorial 
community in the conditions of transitional economy is 
the disbalance of correspond legislative guaranties, level of 
their budgets and non-state financing, incompleteness and 
contradictions in normative base of resources supply for 
activity of satisfaction in necessary materially-economic 
and socially-cultural personal needs and regional 
communities, low efficiency of realization mechanism. 

The notions of social (socially needed) and private goods 
and services are the principal basis of mechanisms of legal 
power spreading in state affairs with the satisfaction of 
different individual, communal, social levels.

The commercial goods are created with individual and 
corporative producers for satisfaction of personal needs 
or their voluntary communities and realizing on the free 
market in correspondence with connection of supply 
and of solvent demand. In a way, the production volumes 
of social goods which are used for common (paid and 
free) consumptions and are set with the affairs of state 
power in dependence on estimation of correspond social 
needs which is fixed in legislative guaranties as the result 
of historical consensus of social groups and layers (the 
coordination of state and social positions at the modern 
staged in democratic countries) with the reason of 
conditions about social association (state) and ensuring 
of stable existence. Market regularities of supply and price 
creation of social goods must to be connected only with 
correspondence of production spending and volume of 
given social (include budget) resources (Knyazev, 2008).

The ensuring of legal order, road building, arrays of 
ingénue networks and infrastructure (which is needed 
for normal living of society) are especially-social goods 
(in mean of undivided by using) (Elyanov, 2003). The list 
of socially needed goods may be defined with the actual 
social guaranties and legislatively formed standards of their 
realization (to rational and minimal norms) and also with 
the directions of state interference in market economy with 
the purpose of providing of stable management activity, 
compensation of problem and negatives of free market. In 
such way they include:
– development of education (first of all the rapid 
development and providing of common and wide access 
to high and secondary education), medical care (include 
the balancing of informational streams between producers 
on the market of medical services and their consumers), 
science and culture which are important for wealth 
existence of population, improvement of social capital 
components.  

Providing of basic (fundamental) of scientific researches, 
improvement of transport and communicational 
infrastructure with the goal of getting the multiplication 
effect with the means of technological innovations and 
improvement of production quality in different fields;
– antimonopoly regulation in production and distribution 
of energetic, transport and other communicational 
services;
– system of social transfers, donations and subsidies; 
– special protection within non-inflation regulation 
(Elianov, 2003).

Market theory of production location (in particular, 
the theory of central places and transactional analysis) 
which is the principal for methodology of stable social 
development of regions and territory communities admits 
goods and services distribution by the bargained and non-
bargained.

Goods of long-term using, self fabricated materials, 

services in the field of R&D (Research and Development), 
medical care, education, banc activity, tourism and among 
goods and services of the second category – the land and 
real estate objects, services in realization of goods, primary 
and secondary education, part of utilities, except for gas 
supply and the electric power, and also communication 
services, a number of credit and medical services) that 
are first goods which may be transported from sender to 
recipient (Orekhovsky, 2008).

With the opportunity of transportation, this separation is 
based on the differences in the methods of price creation if 
in the correlation of bargain goods and services form prices 
which are negligibly vary within the country (but close to 
worldwide prices in the conditions of open economy), 
so prices on non-bargain goods and services are isolated 
within local markets and that’s why the interregional prices 
between differs in several times (by the world comparing – 
in several dozen times). Thus, benefits are generated with 
the supply of bargain production which is made with 
the main management subjects – the participants of the 
territorial separating of labour define the level of wealth 
of local population, level of prices depends first all on its’ 
solvent supply.

Low market efficiency in the sphere of its’ production 
of social goods is admitted as a key factor in formation 
of budget sector. As the result, economic subsystem for 
personal and common needs satisfaction. The permanent 
problem of market and budget trade off is important for 
functioning of this system (Zyatkovsky, 2006).

The fractional aspect of this decision about production 
of social goods is the state and private partnership 
which is management form based on the institutionally-
organizational union of state and private business which 
is established with the goal of realization of socially 
important projects (from municipal to national and 
international). It was based on the contract or concessional 
depute for undetermined period to physical person some 
part of economical, organizational and control functions 
in relative to public-legal property namely the state 
and municipal objects and services, natural resources, 
monopoly of the state for a number of kinds of activity 
(thus the mentioned objects don’t change form of 
ownership) (Varnavskiy, 2002).

Institutionally-legal base of PSPP (Partnership of State 
and Private Property) first of all created with statutory 
instruments which connected with differentiation of 
state, regional and local power (particularly with current 
decentralization of power in Ukraine, which is accompanied 
with translation of wide spectra of social functions into 
the managing of united territorial communities and local 
budgets). It should promote the autonomy of municipal 
affairs as legal person within empowerments are considered 
with contracts and concessions.

National authorities depute objects of social sphere, 
gas and power economy, water supply and the sewerage, 
transport and communication systems, government 

buildings and constructions, sign agreements on rendering 
of services on the maintenance of social infrastructure, 
in spheres of health care, education and professional 
development of labor, support of socially vulnerable 
groups of the population, overcoming of excessive social 
differentiation, R&D (Research and Development), 
environment protection, city planning to private property 
or terminal owning and regulating of private capital. 
Correspond contracts of regional and local levels are 
usually connected with developments and modernizations 
of settlements, their social security and the sphere of 
leisure, providing design, reconstruction, construction, 
equipment, management and the content of social objects, 
supply of their visitors with food, information equipment, 
etc (Sorokina, 1999; Varnavskiy, 2002). As the result, 
the increasing of mobility to the social requirements, 
assignment of more quality goods and services by the 
lower smaller expenses of production, decrease in load of 
budgets of various levels, refusal of the state and municipal 
sectors of inefficient forms of managing are combined 
with organizational experience, innovational and financial 
potential of private property.

In a way, in production of social goods to regional and 
territorial communities of Ukraine during decentralization 
of empowerments and realization of administrate form are 
defined: the state and municipal subjects are financed from 
budgets of various levels; the state and municipal subjects 
who, together with the budgetary resources, operate with 
receipts from providing paid services to natural and legal 
entities; the non-state actors functioning on the enterprise 
or non-profitable beginnings, whose activity is provided 
with the state order and contracts (including PSPP), receipt 
of funds from providing paid services to various categories 
of consumers, non-state funds, patrons, sponsors.

6. Conclusions
Development of institutional, functional and territorial 

organization of society, mainly is a formational and 
realization process of needs circle of person (individual and 
collective), which are estimated with factors, conditions 
and mechanisms of their satisfaction, including dynamic 
in variety of social communities and subjects in relation to 
necessary volume of life goods consumption.

Researching results admitted the necessity of 
social goods formation in the economy of Ukrainian 
multidirectional education which combines state and 
non-state (private, commercial and non-commercial) 
enterprises, establishments, organizations, which services 
to different layers of population within certain volume 
quality of social security (based on the state order, 
temporary contracts and corporate non-market affairs 
supported in case of performance of conditions by the 
parties concerning resource intensity, volumes of the 
budgetary financing, quality, terms of granting goods and 
services) and in summary it’s coordinated with state social 
and fiscally-budget policy. Supplementing each other, 
the state and noncommercial sectors of social sphere in

the country and regional social complexes are capable to 
capture all space of legislative obligations of cultural and 
community service of the population.

Mechanisms which  contents and productivity of 
actions for the solution of interaction state problems and 
private (including noncommercial) sectors in regions and 
resettlements of Ukraine, as well as public consequences of 
transfer to the private sector  of the social security functions 
which are traditionally stay in the state competence will 
depend on a level of control structures development 
activity of authorities (including within civil society), 
bases (among other things – transparency) business and 
partner activity.

Socially-oriented market economy predicts the 
leading with the state of corrective activity in sphere 
of macroeconomic regulating in social sphere with the 
directions, which ensure market development as socially-
simulative process(by creation of conditions for equal 
competence prevention of monopolies, restriction of 
overproduction, dumping prices and other factors of 
crisis). Together with optimization of branch, territorial 
and investment streams other important factors for 
improvement of investment climate in regions are: 
– providing of social mobility (based on the socially level 

of civil profits, realization of measurement in state policy 
about self regulation of territory disproportions by the 
creation of new job places and assistance to arrangement 
of necessary staff ); 
– popularity “activation” (during the stimulated 
entrepreneurship, self employment and innovational 
activity among the subjects of managing, push-pull 
and interregional labor migrations, improvement of 
qualification potential of labour resources according to 
needs of the concrete region).

Regulation of economically-organizational mechanism 
about realization of legislative liabilities which are 
connected with consumption of socially-needed services 
and also for satisfaction of personal needs of Ukrainian 
popularity, demands the following researches of 
problem and methodology as improvement of territorial 
organization of social infrastructures of in regional local 
system of resettlement, so in the providing of stability 
in the processes of its’ financing in the condition of 
powerful influence of subjective factors are connected 
with subjection of the lowest networks of objects and 
disadvantages of hierarchy functioning in the questions 
of regulation and correction of quality indicators of their 
development and professional activity.

ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ И РЕАЛИЗАЦИЯ СОЦИАЛЬНЫХ ПОТРЕБНОСТЕЙ КАК КРИТЕРИЙ 
СОВЕРШЕНСТВОВАНИЯ ТЕРРИТОРИАЛЬНОЙ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ ОБЩЕСТВА
Аннотация. Целью работы является исследование взаимосвязей процессов формирования и реализации 
спектра социальных потребностей с эволюцией и целенаправленной деятельностью по совершенствова-
нию территориальной организации общества. Методика исследования предполагает: обоснование проис-
хождения, факторов развития, подходов к классификации, функций социальных потребностей в развитии 
государства и социума; изучение социогуманитарного пространства формирования и реализации потреб-
ностей индивидов, функциональных и территориальных сообществ, а также механизма их удовлетворения 
на общегосударственном и пространственном уровнях (на примере Украины – страны с развивающейся 
экономикой, где ныне осуществляется децентрализация властных полномочий в сфере социального обе-
спечения и укрупнение низовых территориальных общин). Результаты. Обобщены и обоснованы законо-
мерности и тенденции становления, эволюции, трансформации потребностей социальных групп, функцио-
нальных и территориальных сообществ населения, а также взаимосвязь этих процессов с экономическими 
и организационными возможностями и механизмами удовлетворения спектра социальных потребностей с 
учетом особенностей, достигнутых и желаемых параметров развития производительных сил, человеческого 
и прочих компонентов социогуманитарного потенциала, социокультурной среды общества. Развитие инсти-
туциональной, функциональной и территориальной организации общества, по сути, является процессом 
формирования и реализации круга потребностей человека (индивидуального и коллективного), который 
оценивается через факторы, условия и механизмы их удовлетворения, в том числе через динамику позиций 
спектра социальных групп и субъектов относительно необходимого для потребления объема жизненных благ.  
Практическое значение. Общественно-политические трансформации стимулируют формирование в эконо-
мике общественных благ Украины многосекторного образования, сочетающего государственные и негосу-
дарственные (частные коммерческие и некоммерческие) предприятия, учреждения, организации, которые: 
оказывают различным слоям населения услуги нормированного в рамках социальных гарантий объема и 
качества (на основе госзаказа, временных контрактов и корпоративных внерыночных связей, поддерживае-
мых в случае выполнения условий ресурсоемкости, объемов бюджетного финансирования, качества, сроков 
предоставления товаров и услуг); координируются государственной социальной и бюджетно-фискальной 
политикой. Весомыми факторами развития территориальных общин и улучшения инвестиционного кли-
мата в регионах являются: обеспечение социальной мобильности (основа – достаточный уровень доходов 
граждан, реализация государственной политики по созданию новых рабочих мест и содействию бытовому 
обустройству кадров); «активизация» населения (через стимулирование предпринимательства, самозанято-
сти и инновационной активности субъектов хозяйствования, трудовых миграций, совершенствование про-
фессионально-квалификационного потенциала трудовых ресурсов). Значение/оригинальность. Урегулиро-
вание организационно-экономического механизма реализации законодательных гарантий потребления 
общественно необходимых услуг, удовлетворения соответствующих индивидуализированных потребностей 
населения Украины будет способствовать: совершенствованию территориальной организации социальной 
инфраструктуры в соответствии с целями реформы административного устройства и усиления социальных 
полномочий местных бюджетов; повышению эффективности процессов воспроизводства и капитализации 
социогуманитарного потенциала.
