Abstract
The problems of efficient use of natural resources capacity in conditions of administrative and territorial reform affect the local level in the first place, in particular due to the fact that most communities do not have information about what resources they possess and how to use them properly for the development of Consolidated Territorial Communities (CTCs). The paper provides the calculations of integral index of CTCs’ natural resources capacity, which includes a certain group of sub-indices, namely the budget efficiency of the use of natural resources capacity; concentration of natural resources; provision of population with resources; rent payment. The analysis of the use of natural resources capacity to fill a CTC’s budget is conducted; concentration of natural resources at a CTC’s territory is determined; provision of a CTC’s population with natural resources is calculated; main aspects of rent payment that provides most revenues to local budgets are researched; the reserves of increase of communities’ natural resources capacity are revealed. The fact that community residents’ participation in control of the use of natural resources at their territory is essential for the community’s development is established.

Abstract
The paper suggests methodological approaches to the complex evaluation of the efficiency of decentralization reform, which can be used for monitoring and adjusting decisions at any of its implementation stages. The suggested methodological approaches contribute to narrowing the results of the analysis of diverse phenomena and processes down to a single unified system of standardized parameters, thereby developing a single monitoring model and simplifying the decision-making process. The fact that the decentralization process has primarily 3 interrelated and interdependent directions is taken into account in forming the methodological approaches to evaluation of the ongoing reform efficiency. The indicators of analysis of the reform implementation efficiency across the organizational-administrative, budgetary, and socio-economic components are systematized in order to be used both for determining the average reform implementation paces in the country and comparing the respective structural changes. The set of mathematical tools to evaluate them is suggested. The efficiency of the decentralization reform implementation is comprehensively analyzed across Ukrainian regions. The major accomplishments and bottlenecks to be addressed at the current stage are determined. The comparative analysis of the efficiency of the decentralization reform implementation across Ukrainian regions has shown that, currently, there isn’t any consistent relationship between the organizational, budgetary, and socio-economic results of the reform in the regions. The abovementioned processes remain to be unbalanced due to slow reform implementation in some regions, available unresolved controversies, some duplicated managerial functions, and lacking sufficient level of residents’ confidence in authorities.
