The project-oriented approach to achieving the national, regional or municipal goals of socio-economic development has been widely practiced in public and municipal administration. However, there are certain issues reducing the efficiency. These problems include: regulatory uncertainty of projects in the strategic planning system, functional redundancy of project tasks, insufficient scientific and methodological support to the project approach implementation in public and local government authorities. The purpose of this article is to specify the projects typology in public and municipal administration and to provide the scientific and methodological framework for the projects development to achieve the target values of socio-economic development indicators.

Methods. To achieve this goal, the article employed the key theoretical concepts of the project approach and system-activity modelling of the target activity technology. As a research result, the author identified the following four types of projects developed and implemented in public and municipal bodies: substantive projects, activity projects to achieve the target values of socio-economic development indicators, scientific-research projects, projects to develop and stage events. The specifics of these projects have been revealed depending on entities involved in their development and implementation. The methodology is provided for developing an activity project to achieve the target values of the socio-economic development indicators, based on the system-activity modelling of technological periods and stages of target activities. Scientific novelty. The types of projects in public and municipal administration have been identified, resulting in the revealed development and implementation specifics. The system-activity methodology is provided for modelling target activities in the course of projects development to achieve the target values of socio-economic development indicators, which allowed to increase the efficiency and quality of the public and municipal programs’ strategic goals implementation.

The aim of this research is to develop methodological foundations for designing socio-economic indicators of quality of activity of the local self-government representative body in the context of implementing transformations of the formation procedure and activity of local self-government bodies. The new competitive system for electing heads of local self-government is considered to create conditions for their meaningful interaction with the highest official of the region in the process of addressing both urgent and strategic municipal tasks, including in cooperation with the municipal representative bodies. However, under such system the representative body of local self-government having significant authority does not bear any responsibility for efficiency and quality of their implementation, which leads to the formation of the narrowly corporate and even self-interested targets in the deputies’ behavior. In a representative body, there is a threat of creating groups whose interests are often parallel to the interests of the population. In pursuing this goal, the authors used the method of managerial analysis of efficiency and quality of the local self-government representative bodies and the system-activity methodology for designing socio-economic quality indicators of its work. Results and scientific novelty: feasibility and efficiency of the model is assessed, where the head of the municipality is elected by the deputies upon the recommendation of the competition committee and also exercises authority of managing local administration; management paradoxes are revealed that can depreciate the political significance and efficiency of the ongoing transformations of local government bodies; methodological foundations are formulated to develop the socio-economic quality indicators of the local self-government representative bodies in the process of overcoming major managerial antinomy; a conceptual approach for assessing the quality of activity of a deputy of the local self-government representative body is formulated.

Purpose: development of methodological bases for designing a strategy for the social and economic development of the municipality. Methods: problem-methodological analysis, system-activity design, modeling of the system of indicators. Scientific novelty: the article presents the author''s concept of the structure of the main theoretical concepts of strategic planning, developed a system-activity methodology for the design of a strategy for socio-economic development of the municipal formation, creating conditions for improving the social efficiency and effectiveness of strategic planning in the municipality. Thanks. The author expresses his gratitude to the head of the urban district of Suhoy Log Roman Y. Valov and head of the Kamyshlovsky urban district of the Sverdlovsk region Alexei Vladimirovich Polovnikov for supporting the main provisions of the presented methodology and organizing the activities to test this methodology in the practice of municipal government.

Purpose. Approbation of activity-related information methodology of activities organization of municipal employees, developed by the author, and evaluation of its effectiveness, efficiency and quality in the context of solving the problems of local government reform at the present stage. Methods. In the process of achieving the purpose the author used the method of designing a system of interaction between the departments of administration, information and activity approach to time rationing of implementation of the municipal administrations’ powers, as well as a systematic approach to updating the models of activity on realization of municipal powers. Results. On the basis of the system approach and activity-related information methodology the author has developed a technology to optimize organization of activities of municipal administration, which allows to increase the efficiency of its social activities. The conceptual basis of modernization of the financial incentives of municipal employees has been developed. Scientific novelty. Problems of optimization of organization of activities of municipal administration are decided on the basis of a systematic approach and activity-related information methodology and the organization of activities of municipal employees. Defined conceptual positions of financial incentives to increase the humanization of municipal employees and methodical bases of the organization of their professional development.
