Abstract |
|
|
| In this paper, we examine Ukraines post-war reconstruction and the critical need for modernizing social
infrastructure to preserve and develop human capital, facilitate the integration of displaced persons, and enhance regional competitiveness, particularly in border areas with the EU where such infrastructure is essential for cross-border cooperation and European integration. Utilizing methods including system analysis, structural-functional and comparative analysis, territorial analysis, and generalization, we classify types of social infrastructure, outline objectives for modernization, and identify key implementation stages in Ukraines border regions. Our findings reveal that effective modernization is vital for preserving human capital, curbing depopulation and youth outflow, integrating internally displaced persons and veterans, attracting investments, and fostering regional economic development. Key elements include rehabilitation centers, modern educational institutions, housing and digital infrastructure, and improved transport systems for cross-border communication. Ultimately, this paper concludes that the modernization of social infrastructure is crucial for Ukraines post-war economic recovery, human capital preservation, and integration into the European space, with a comprehensive approach that considers social, economic, and institutional factors essential for sustainable territorial development and enhancing their strategic
significance for the state. |
