Improvement of the Monitoring System of Socio-Economic Development of Municipality

The article is devoted to improving the system of monitoring the socio-economic development of a municipality as one of the main management tools. The relevance is due to the lack of a unified approach to understanding the management of socio-economic development at the municipal level, the importance of monitoring in this process, as well as the insufficient level of its effectiveness and orientation to the implementation of strategic objectives. The purpose of the research is to develop a methodological approach to assessing the socio-economic development of a municipality to ensure effective monitoring in current and strategic management. The methodological basis of the article is the method of generalization and comparison, statistical analysis, sociological survey, economic and mathematical modeling and the method of expert assessments. The most common methods of assessing the effectiveness of the management of socio-economic development of municipalities are analyzed in the article, their features and disadvantages are highlighted. The author’s approach is proposed, based on the analysis of existing approaches to understanding the category of “municipal formation” and based on the totality of the interaction of four macro-systems (social, economic, municipal establishments, management). In the article sections of the methodological approach to assessment are substantiated and developed, requirements for their implementation are formulated, and approbation is carried out on the example of the municipality “Kirov City”. The novelty consists in the proposed methodological approach to assessing the socio-economic development of a municipality, which allows a comprehensive analysis of the results achieved over a long-term period in dynamics, including determining the level of competitiveness of the municipality and public assessment, and monitoring socio-economic development within the selected corridor of sustainable development in the long term. The results can be used by regional authorities and local governments to improve the effectiveness of management decisions, and by local stakeholders (business structures and the local population) to formulate development strategies taking into account trends and prospects for the development of the territory.
