System Analysis of the Development of Rural Local Communities

The article explores the processes of socio-economic and socio-cultural development of rural local communities in the form of specific models that demonstrate the true nature of transformation processes in agricultural regions. Using the system analysis, it establishes the features of development, relations (internal and external) and community development functions. The paper also singles out the mechanisms affecting stabilization and sustainable development of the village: industrial, economic, socio-cultural, and institutional. Rural local communities as a system have a structure, that is, they have an internal composition, the relative position of elements (some modifications of the structure are possible with the same composition of elements) and are a kind of static model of the system.
