Presentation on the transformation of municipalities through amalgamation. Approaches to territorial organization
Pravda.Ru previously reported on the conflict between the authorities of the Moscow region and the head of the Serpukhov district of the Moscow region, Alexander Shestun. The conflict became so widespread that it reached the Kremlin.
Although, according to Shestun, the presidential administration knew about what was happening before. And they even allegedly participated. But the matter is not only and not so much in the quarrels of one individual official with his superiors.
Let us recall that the main reason for Shestun’s conflict with the authorities of the Moscow region was the municipal reform that is being carried out in the region. We are talking about the so-called consolidation of municipalities, designed to optimize budget expenditures, improve manageability and reduce the number of officials.
Well, since optimization in Russia has been, so to speak, a trend in public administration for several years now, it would not be very fair to talk only about the Moscow region. After all, similar events are held on a larger or smaller scale throughout the country.
Just the other day, the Legislative Assembly of the Irkutsk Region adopted in the first reading the bill “On the transformation of the Naratai and Novotelbinsk municipalities of the Kuitunsky district and on amendments to the Law of the Irkutsk region “On the status and boundaries of the municipalities of the Kuytunsky district of the Irkutsk region.”
Let us delve a little deeper into the topic, even despite the rather bureaucratic description of the motives that prompted the Irkutsk deputies to pay attention to this topic.
In general, the initiative in this case belonged to the municipal deputies of the Kuytunsky district. The consolidation is explained by concern for the residents of the Naratai municipality, of whom there are 185 people. There is no school or post office, no agricultural, transport, or industrial enterprises; the distance from the district center is 129 kilometers. Due to the lack of development prospects for the municipality, it was proposed to merge it with the Novotelbinsk municipal district.
According to the Chairman of the Committee on Legislation on State Construction and Local Self-Government Boris Alekseev, transformation through their unification will improve the efficiency of the functioning of local government bodies, combine available resources for their rational use, and will also allow for more efficient development in the future.
As a matter of fact, this is a typical argument that is intended to explain initiatives to consolidate municipalities. Any regional features not visible. Only in terms of distances between settlements - in the Moscow region, the united municipalities are located much closer to each other.
Although, it is worth saying that the distance between the united MOs is a serious factor. And often very negative. This, in particular, was discussed in the study of the Institute of Urban Economics, “Territorial accessibility of local self-government in the Russian Federation,” which was presented at the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation in July last year.
The authors of the study proceeded from the fact that for residents of settlements located 15 km from the center of the municipality, access to decision-making local government bodies (LSGs) and government services is difficult.
The study took into account the climate in different regions, the condition of roads, and the operation of public transport - the situation in 18 regions was analyzed. For example, in Krasnodar region settlements with difficult transport accessibility - 18.9%, in the Volgograd region - 16.6%, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory - 20.9%.
The consolidation of municipalities is worsening the situation: in the Nizhny Novgorod region, for example, transport accessibility is difficult in 18.1% of settlements. If a settlement is 25 km from the center, then the situation with transport accessibility becomes critical.
According to the study, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory there are 5.2% of such municipalities, in the Volgograd Region - 1.5%, in Ulyanovsk - 1.9%, in Nizhny Novgorod - 1.8%. Relatively small percentages should not be misleading - we are talking about settlements in which thousands of people live.
The transformation of municipal districts into urban districts, in which the settlement level of local self-government is abolished, significantly complicates the population's access to local authorities and government services. In the Kaliningrad region there are 45% of such settlements, in the Sverdlovsk region - 68.9%, in the Magadan region - 36%, in the Moscow region - 30.3%.
The study noted that the transformation of municipal districts into urban districts “has acquired a large scale, and completely self-sufficient municipalities are falling under the comb of consolidation and liquidation.”
Of course, it can hardly be denied that in some cases the consolidation of municipalities actually has an economic justification. However, this does not remove the question of how much the reform takes into account the specifics of the regions.
And not even just regions, but in general each individual case of consolidation. There are serious doubts that attention is being paid to such a problem. Otherwise, why would the head of the Public Chamber’s commission on local self-government, Andrei Maksimov, say during the presentation of the study that the transformations “create problems for residents to receive government services and do not allow them to participate in decision-making at the level of municipalities.”
Then, by the way, it was promised to go out "in power structures and the Federal Assembly to give our decisions the force of law or state-sanctioned recommendations." Judging by the rapid development of the conflict, which was mentioned at the beginning of the material, something has again gone wrong.

Rural settlements. Rural population
Slide 3
Rural settlements are those located in rural areas, that is, in areas outside urban settlements. People living in rural settlements form the rural population of the country. Now it is 37 million people (26% of the total population of the country)
Slide 4
The main reason for the decline in the number of rural settlements is the development of urbanization.
Slide 5
In the years between the 1989 and 2002 censuses, for the first time in many decades, the number of rural residents and their share began to increase slightly. This growth was due to two reasons. Due to difficulties in the development of the country's economy during this period, a certain part of the townspeople moved to the countryside. Life here did not require such large expenses as in the city, and private farming allowed one to provide oneself with many food products
Slide 6
In addition, there was rapid growth at this time rural population in the south of the European part of the country due to high natural growth in the national republics. At the same time, after the collapse of the USSR, many migrants from the CIS countries came here. Now the influence of these factors in the growth of the rural population in the country has decreased and it has begun to decline again.
Slide 7
Like cities, rural communities vary in population size. The majority of residents (55%) work in agriculture.
Slide 8
FUNCTIONS of rural settlements Agricultural: Agricultural and livestock farming Mixed Non-agricultural: Transport, recreational, forestry
Slide 9
Despite the variety of functions performed by rural settlements, the features of their geography primarily depend on natural conditions. Therefore, natural zoning is clearly evident in the distribution of the rural population.
Slide 10
Migration of the population of RUSSIA
Slide 11
What is population migration called? Immigration Emigration
Slide 13
In the 20th century In Russia there were several periods of forced migration of the population, when people changed their place of residence against their wishes. A significant number of Russians left the country after October revolution 1917 In the 1930-50s, during the period of repression, to the European North, to Siberia, to Far East A huge number of prisoners were deported. Their labor was used to develop natural resources in remote areas with harsh natural conditions. Entire entire peoples were expelled from their homes to Siberia and the Far East, Kazakhstan and Central Asia: Chechens and Ingush, Kalmyks and Karachais, Germans and Greeks.
Slide 14
Migration can change not only the geography and population of individual parts of the country, but also the national, religious, and age composition of their inhabitants.
Slide 15
There are a lot of types of migration, they are distinguished according to different characteristics. Main characteristics
reasons that motivate people to migrate, duration of migration, direction of migration.

Slide 18
External migration
Emigration is leaving the country, moving to another country temporarily or permanently. Immigration is the entry into a country for permanent or temporary residence of residents of other countries.
Slide 19
The further development of Russia, with its declining population, makes it vitally important to attract migrants from other countries. The concept of Russia's demographic policy assumes in 2025 to ensure a migration increase of more than 300 thousand people per year.
Slide 20
Internal migrations
Seasonal Pendulum – daily trips to work from one locality to another Temporary
Slide 21
Internal migrations
These are migrations within Russia between different districts, regions, and settlements. These migrations change the population of individual areas, but not the country as a whole.
Slide 22
The main driving force behind internal migration is the desire of people to improve their living conditions. The main reasons holding back internal migration are expensive transport and housing.
Slide 23
Throughout the 20th century, migrants were attracted to the European North and the Asian part of Russia. Valuables were mined here Natural resources. People who worked in these areas were paid high wages, they were provided with housing, and they retired earlier. Now the picture has changed: many enterprises are closed, amenities have deteriorated settlements. Therefore, a rapid outflow of population from the north and east to the European part of the country began. At the turn of the 20th–21st centuries, the Far East lost about 900 thousand people, the European North - more than 300 thousand, Eastern Siberia - 200 thousand people

CITY
- a large populated area whose residentsmainly employed in industry and
trade, as well as in the service sectors,
management, science, culture.
The status of a city is determined by the state
legislation. In different countries, the criteria
by which this status is determined are different
(population size, placement of organs
controls, etc.) City -
populated area, most of the inhabitants
which is not occupied by agriculture
The first cities arose in the 3rd - 1st thousand BC. V
different regions of the Earth: China, Mesopotamia,
Egypt.
Their true age is usually a mystery. Some
cities claim to be the most ancient: Jericho,
Damascus, Bible. These cities were continuously inhabited
since the Copper Age. Features of cities
1. Cities have higher population densities.
2. Multi-storey buildings and high buildings.
3. City dwellers are engaged in work not related to agriculture
farming
4. Cities play a major role in economic, cultural and
political life of the country.
5. The more developed the country, the higher the share of urban
population (more urbanized).
6. Cities vary in population and perform
various functions (roles).
7. Within cities, certain zones are distinguished:
industrial, residential, transport, historical and cultural.
Why are urban areas divided into

Purpose of the work: to find out what the main functions of the village are and what role it plays in preserving the nation and solving the demographic problem. Suggest your solutions. The fundamental question: why is the village “dying” and is it necessary to change the situation? Hypothesis: without the revival of the village there can be no revival of Russia. These are its roots, reliable support and rear. The fields are ending their lives under the terrible chariot, Which the spirit of the century has taken up arms against them, And capital after capital is pulling out its tentacles, To suck out the remnants of their former strength.

Settlement is the process of settling a territory. The result of this process is the totality of settlements in a given territory Types of settlements: urban rural In 2002, 96 million people lived in 1098 cities of Russia, and 39 million people lived in 142 thousand rural settlements. Thus, the average size of a city is about 90 thousand people, and a Russian village is 270 people, i.e. almost 350 times less. So should you pay attention to it? In total, there are 155,289 rural settlements in Russia, including 13,086 without population. Region Share of urban population in % Share of rural. population in% 1. Northern region 76 24 2.

Entire villages are simply dying: the young left for the city from a hopeless village, the old gradually lived out their lives. According to the results of the latest population census, it is necessary to edit the map of Russia, removing hundreds of rural settlements from it. The people in them have long since drunk themselves to death, are indifferent to everything, have lost the incentive to work, and most importantly, have lost the knowledge, skills and abilities accumulated in the age-old agrarian tradition of Rus'.

Slide description:
One of the Russian problems is the social sphere and the “children’s” problem related to it. What funds are needed to support orphanages? How to raise these children not as consumers, but as creators? Children who are initially difficult to socialize in orphanages are ultimately deprived of any adaptation to the world around them. They leave orphanages, often without a profession capable of feeding them. They often don't even know how to serve themselves. Insufficient development of the agricultural sector of the economy. Moreover, this problem has two sides: social (the gradual degradation of the countryside) and economic (the state does not have the ability to support and protect domestic producers). Nobody wants to work in a risky farming area.
Slide 14
Slide description:
The agricultural sector of the economy is certainly trying to rise: this is evidenced by some collective farms, revived by their directors, strong business executives, and small farms. Now rare pockets of resurgent agricultural production are generating enthusiastic reactions in the media. What is most dangerous in the current situation is that there are no young people and children left in the village, so that in twenty years the beginning revival of the village will not fade away. What if a standard orphanage is moved to a rural area? And if with the help of sponsors, in each region there is a rich enterprise or specific people who are able to provide all possible assistance - to purchase “barnyard” and seeds and seedlings for the garden? Allocate unused land! Invite people who would like to work on the land and with children?

Slide description:
To do this, you need to create: a library, clubs, clubs, workshops. An orphanage needs to be located in dying villages. Organizing a rural orphanage in a village gives new life not only to the dying rural school, but also to the village itself. This village should become the cultural center of its area.

1. Would you go to live in the countryside? yes - 9 people no – 21 people 2. What’s bad in the village? we don’t believe that it will be as they say -12 people. It’s not interesting to live there – 7 people. not prestigious – 4 people. will have to work a lot - 3 people. I don’t want my own farm – 3 people. lack of amenities in the house – 1 person. 3. Under what conditions would you go to the village? - Palace of Culture, with sections and discos – 11 people. Availability of housing – 6 people. I have a job, enough money to support my family – 4 people. there are schools, kindergartens - 2 people. if friends are going, for a group – 3 people. life will be like in the city - 2 people. the state will help develop your business - 2 people. From the survey it is clear that children in orphanage they get used to living “with everything ready” and are simply consumers of the benefits that the state gives them.

Slide description:
As a result of the implementation of this project, we will achieve improved adaptation of children from orphanages to modern conditions, forming them into successful and smart people, respecting the country that raised them, on the one hand, and the targeted revival of the village, populating it with just such people and restoring the agricultural sector of the economy, on the other hand. But this is not so little! After all, the village is the cradle of Russian civilization.

Raising a healthy morally and physically young generation. 4. Caring for the Earth through extensive organic farming. 5. Obtaining environmentally friendly products. 6. Increasing the prestige of living in rural areas. Main activities of the Program 1. Allocation of sites on the basis of abandoned villages. 2. “Filling” villages with conscious, urban, highly qualified volunteers. 3. Construction of individual housing. 4. Organization educational process by building our own education system. 5. Building the economy of the settlement. 6. Organization of cultural and leisure activities of the settlement.
Slide description:
We Russian people, some earlier, some later, left the village. Some were seduced by the city's prosperity, some to avoid repression, some to give their children an education. This means that the responsibility for the revival of the village lies with all of us. Whoever can, in whom the Russian and Christian spirit is alive, must, must, stop this “wheel” of rural devastation, destroying Russian space, devouring the nation’s future. The revival of the village is the revival of Russia. Let's revive the village - let's revive the root that nourishes the spirit and body of the nation.

After all, right before our eyes, the “village Atlantis” is plunging somewhere faster, somewhere slower into oblivion. The earth is tired of carrying this careless tribe, tormenting it with drunken plows and thoughtless land reclamation, cutting down forests and littering rivers and lakes with the waste of their activities. The earth throws it off its body, the Lord does not give procreation (demographic problem). Empty arable lands and hayfields are overgrown with alder - a green healing plaster. The earth is waiting for a real owner to be reborn to a new life.
