territorial communities

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.
