Abstract

The article proposes a conceptual model for ensuring national resilience at the local community level, which combines the national level contour (reproducing the process of ensuring the security and continuity of the functioning of the main spheres of life of the state and society through the use of a set of appropriate tools by the subjects of the national sustainability system in conditions of hybrid threats and changes in the security environment) and the local contour (demonstrates the basic components of the mechanism that processually links a set of adaptive capabilities with measures of institutional resilience through the development of a strategy for preparedness for extraordinary events). Emphasis is placed on the fact that the contribution of local contours of territorial communities ensures the formation of national resilience and the further sustainable development of the country as a whole. It is concluded that the effectiveness of the proposed model is ensured by the implementation of a set of basic principles for building a system of public management of processes to ensure national resilience at the level of the territorial community: flexibility, standardization, and unity of efforts. The aspects of the territorial communities' ability to ensure resilience/stability at the local level have been systematized, in particular, the implementation of proactive adaptive public management models based on the development of interaction and broad involvement of stakeholders and the formation of comprehensive control systems at the regional and local levels, in particular public control over the use of resources. It is emphasized that in the context of wartime challenges and subsequent post-war recovery, there is an urgent need to introduce sustainable development management systems in domestic territorial communities based on the international standard ISO 37101.
