The sociological interpretation of interaction between hospitality subjects gives an opportunity to identify features that make the region attractive for tourists. Since tourist activities imply guesthood let us focus on peculiarities of social interaction between service actors: social communion of regional lodging properties’ employees and their guests. The analysis of interaction between hospitality subjects allows for establishing cause-and-effect relationships with regard to the content and form of social processes and relations emerging within socio-cultural tourist domain of the Sverdlovsk region. A sociological approach to the analysis of service practices provides an opportunity to recognize social resources necessary for scaling up attractiveness of hospitality enterprises. Personal experience of staying at a hotel in the process of its treatment and reproduction becomes interpersonal, group and mutual experience; in its socialized form it is replicated in inter-communion interaction. The positive meaning of inter-communion interaction maintains market attractiveness of a tourist destination. The analysis was based on the results of the survey administered to 407 guests of Yekaterinburg hotels. The article explores factors effecting a consumer’s choice of a lodging property, the formation of guests’ impression of their staying which predetermines the conditions of shaping guests’ loyalty. Hospitality properties’ command of the given factors allows them to build relationships with their clients in the right way, and thereby to provide the property’s success and to make a greater contribution to the region’s welfare and life of local communities.

Purpose. Consider consulting the libraries, as an innovative form of service user. Methods. Methods of research analysis of relevant publications, structural analysis, method of analysis and synthesis, method of interpretation. Results and practical significance. There is reason to believe that in the process of providing information and consulting services, the trend is towards an improvement of existing (traditional) information products and services due to: use of new technological approaches; expanding resource base; intellectualization of information and library activities; perception of specialists of libraries of increasingly complex consumer demands.

Purpose. Investigate the legal regulation of appeals of deputies of all levels of power and formulate proposals for improving the legal status of municipal deputies in terms of fixing and regulating their right to file various types of appeals. Methodology. Dialectics, abstraction, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, formal-legal method, method of intersectoral legal research. The main method of investigation is a comparative legal method. Results and scope. Firstly, the publication presents a comprehensive analysis of the normative consolidation of the right of deputies of various levels of government (federal, regional and local) to send appeals, and also defines the term "appeal of a deputy". Secondly, a list of deputy appeals that is optimal for the municipal government level is proposed: a usual deputy address (sent, as a rule, in order to obtain information); deputy request (a special and more significant form of deputy referral); deputy question (implemented most often with the hearing of officials at a meeting of a local representative body); deputy proposal. Thirdly, there are three options for regulating the abovementioned parliamentary appeals: amending the Federal Law on General Principles of Organization of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation, amending the existing laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on guarantees for the exercise of the powers of municipal deputies, acts. Introduced legal regulation should provide for not only the establishment of the right of a deputy to address appeals, but also additional regulation of the procedure for their consideration. This will significantly strengthen the status of municipal deputies, giving them an effective mechanism for upholding the rights and legitimate interests of their constituents.

Purpose. Based on the theoretical analysis of the mandate of the deputy of the representative body of the municipal formation, to determine the prospects for the development of the institution of a free deputy mandate, through the use of art. 33 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation the right to appeal. Determine the features of the ratio of the institution of citizens ''appeals to the institution of voters'' orders. Methods. The publication is based on the general scientific dialectical method. Special methods used in the preparation of the publication are: system-structural, formal-legal, logical and comparative-legal. Results. It has been established that without the proper legal regulation, the idea of popular representation and the constitutional norm on the multinational people of the Russian Federation as the only source of power acquires a declarative connotation. The lack of legal regulation of the work of deputies with voters forces a number of municipal entities to revive the institution of voters'' orders, which is characteristic of an imperative deputy mandate. At the municipal level, the institution of voters'' orders exists at the present time. However, the effectiveness of modern "municipal" orders raises doubts, since the duty of their consideration is not ensured by sanctions, and the control over the implementation of the orders is entrusted to the representative bodies themselves. Differences between the term "treatment", contained in the Federal Law "On the Procedure for Consideration of Appeals by Citizens of the Russian Federation" and "Municipal" Voter Sanctions, are concluded in three aspects. First, only special subjects can send out orders: voters; second, to send exclusively during the period of the election campaign and during the term of the convening of the representative body; third, the mandates are approved by the representative bodies of municipal entities (i.e., this body independently determines the priority of the received orders and the terms of their implementation). Scientific novelty. It is proposed to introduce two forms of realization of the right to appeal, in relation to the status of a deputy of the representative body of the municipal formation (in terms of strengthening the relationship of deputies with the population), which can become an alternative to the institutions of voters'' orders and without significant legislative innovations to develop the institution of a deputy''s free mandate. The first is the recognition of voters'' orders as a form of the right to appeal (with the appropriate fixing in Article 3 of the Federal Law "On the Procedure for Considering Applications of Citizens of the Russian Federation." With the possibility of applying administrative responsibility for violating the procedure for considering an appeal under Article 5.59 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. The second is the introduction of a legal institute of feedback on the quality of the activity of a representative of a representative body of a municipal formation. The proposed measures will not only strengthen the control over the activity of deputies of representative bodies of municipal entities, but also discipline candidates for deputies of representative bodies of local self-government who will be compelled to make electoral programs based on their real possibilities.

Purpose. Review and specification of the legal consequences of disposal in the absence of authority or consent, taking into account the experience of the foreign legislator and in order to maintain the "minimum fairness" in the distribution of the burden of proof and determination of what is to be evidenced in such court cases. Methods. On the basis of comparison of the spheres of application of general and special norms of civil legislation on consent and exceeding of authority, the author crystallized the subject and object orientation of quite dispersed legal provisions (securing the interests of the "principal", of the company, its shareholders, etc.), after which the ready-classified norms ("general", "corporate", etc.) were compared with the rules of English, German and Austrian legislation, having the same function. Results. A preliminary typology of the norms of the Russian law on consent and exceeding of authority was suggested as well as directions for the further development of civil legislation were pointed out, in particular, the need to specify the notion of "knowledge" about the presence of restrictions (lack of consent, going beyond powers). Scientific novelty. It consists in the fact that the author considers the problems of consent or exceeding of powers as part of the theory of property rights, namely, the restriction on disposal, which provides a rich theoretical basis for the further logical development of relevant Russian legislation, including, by taking into account the achievements of the English agency doctrine.

Purpose. The peculiarities of implementation of social partnership in the public service, the possibility of unions of employees in the General meetings serve as the collective subject of social partnership. Methods. The study is based on the comparison of the norms of legislation on workers '' representatives, analysis of examples of legislative design. Results and practical significance. The author makes a conclusion about the meaning of the General meeting of employees in the implementation of social partnership in the public service. Strengthening the powers, details of legal status in the law the General meeting will have an impact on the development of democratic principles applied in respect of public servants. This collective subject is considered by the author as the most appropriate form of participation of state and municipal employees in social partnership. Scientific novelty. Along with well-known subjects of labor relations, the author highlights the alternate representative in social partnership such as the General meeting of employees. It is hoped that this representative body is the most adapted for state and municipal employees, which has not formed a trade Union organization.

Purpose. Investigation of the issues of realization of labor law functions in the process of passing the municipal service. Methods. The article analyzes the provisions of the current labor legislation, the federal law "On municipal service in the Russian Federation", which fixes the procedure for the application of various types of assessment used when citizens enter the municipal service (election by competition, probation). Comparative characteristics of the conditions of application of these types of assessment in relation to state civil and municipal employees allowed to identify differences in their implementation. Results. It is noted that labor law functions, and, in particular, the function of administration (management) aimed at meeting the needs of the employer, is realized through the norms regulating the application of various types of evaluation, in particular, by competition and testing in admission to the municipal service. The conducted research led to the conclusion that the types of assessment envisaged in the legislation, which the employer can employ when selecting a municipal employee, firstly objectively do not allow to use them in aggregate in order to reliably determine the compliance of a municipal employee with qualification requirements, secondly, that it is necessary to establish special rules for the application of these types of assessment in relation to municipal employees, which make them more effective in practice. Scientific novelty. Scientific novelty consists in the analysis of the Federal Law "On municipal service in the Russian Federation" and the labor legislation regarding the use of the procedure for electing a contest for admission to the municipal service, as well as the procedure and conditions for establishing a test when entering the service and their compliance with the socially important needs of the employer.
