The restoration of Ukraine's deoccupied territories faces a number of systemic challenges related to the lack of a comprehensive state approach and an excessive focus on selective infrastructure reconstruction. The purpose of this publication is to explore the processes and transformational changes and to justify approaches to the restoration and spatial development of deoccupied territories in the context of new realities and restoration tasks. The article examines the processes and transformational changes in the deoccupied territories and substantiates approaches to their restoration and spatial development in the context of the new realities and challenges of post-war restoration. It focuses on the regulatory and legal requirements for the functioning of deoccupied territories and justifies the need to take into account socio-economic phenomena and processes that are important for making effective decisions on the development of these territories. A methodology for analyzing, evaluating, and justifying decisions regarding de-occupied territories is substantiated, which provides for: structuring the system in terms of five determinants (spatial, economic, social, temporal, managerial) and their interrelationships and interactions. The main transformations that have taken place in the deoccupied territories are characterized using the example of the Novovorontsov, Velykooleksandriv, Kochubei, and Halytsyniv communities. The assessment of the situation and the main transformations of the deoccupied territories was carried out taking into account such integral characteristics as productive capacity, safety and inclusiveness of the environment, social processes and living standards, financial dependence and budget policy, intangible transformations and the consequences of war. Priorities for the development of deoccupied territories have been identified, in particular: inventory and systematization of data, strengthening the stability of the region and organizing environmental safety, developing mechanisms for territorial cooperation, intensifying project work on updating urban planning documentation and developing comprehensive spatial development plans, as well as stimulating economic activity in the territories.

The approaches to monitoring of social and economic development of a self-governing local community, which has adopted a strategic development plan, are analyzed in the article. The aim of this article is to develop a system of indexes and monitoring procedure of social and economic development of self-governing local community, which can be practically introduced and used effectively in the implementation of strategic plans of self-governing local community. Methods of theoretical generalization and morphological analysis were used in the research in order to determine peculiarities of socio-economic development monitoring of self-governing local community, as well as experiment was used to test the system of indexes of monitoring of the implementation of the strategic plan of the Korosten city development. As a result of the study it was found that the monitoring of social and economic development of self-governing local community, which has a strategic development plan, should not be limited only by the statement of fact the execution or failure of the strategic plan tasks. Monitoring report should inform to what extent (in percentage terms) each operational goal is achieved, which tasks of the strategic plan lost appropriateness due to external or internal changes, should give proposals to revise the strategic development plan of self-governing territorial community, should indicate reasons and submit reasonable proposals for improving the current system of monitoring of strategic development plan of self-governing local community. The results of the article can be used in the work of local authorities. The monitoring of the strategic plan implementation does not solve socio-economic development problem of the self-governing local community. On the other hand, optimal management decisions could not be made without following the course of implementation of the strategic plan and analysis of collected information.
