Purpose. This study aims to provide an in-depth empirical assessment of the relationship between the density and structure of civil society organizations (CSOs) within selected Ukrainian territorial communities and citizens’ perceptions of their performance. The research explores whether the quantitative presence of CSOs correlates with higher levels of civic engagement, public trust, and satisfaction with cooperation with local authorities.

The article examines the state and activities of cultural institutions of territorial commu- nities, in particular in front-line territories. The issues of reformatting the work of cultural insti- tutions, the search for new online and offline formats that would meet the cultural needs of com- munities, minimal costs and martial law conditions are highlighted. It is determined that to ensure high-quality and full-fledged work of cultural institutions in the martial law conditions, it is ad- visable to use the potential of the virtual environment.

Purpose – The article is devoted to the study of the post-war reconstruction of territorial communities. It is justified that the restoration of territorial communities should be started now, and not wait for the end of the war. The challenges faced by communities in the face of a full-scale invasion are analyzed. Factors affecting the stability of territorial communities, in particular the involvement of local residents, their willingness to participate in solving community problems, were studied.

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the functioning of local self-government in the conditions of martial law. It has been found that local self-government in Ukraine is a state-guaranteed right and real ability of a territorial community - residents of a village or a voluntary association of residents of several villages, towns, cities into a rural community - independently or under the responsibility of local self-government bodies and officials of local importance within the limits of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine.
