THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN THE FIELD OF FIRE SAFETY IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article deals with issues the main methodological approaches to the implementation of public administration in the field of fire safety in Ukraine. The utility function for public administration in the field of fire safety in Ukraine for each of the methodological approaches is determined, while the method of analysis of hierarchies, which is based on the use of subjective judgments of experts, is completely unacceptable for the purposes of public administration in the considered sphere. Meanwhile, the consideration of other methodological approaches to public safety management in the field of providing fire safety - praxeological, risk-oriented and audit-oriented, indicates that, despite the fact that each of them has its drawbacks and advantages, they need to be joint application, rather than opposition to each other, as is currently the case in the scientific literature and legislative and regulatory framework of Ukraine. The author claim that only an organic combination of all three of these methodological approaches will maximize the benefits to public administration in the field of fire safety in Ukraine, in order to reduce the negative consequences of fires and other emergencies associated with them. The utility function of each of the considered methodological approaches is determined. The model of the systematic methodological approach to public administration in the SOUP in Ukraine was constructed. The author's term for "unity in diversity" has been proposed, to determine the system-forming factor that contributes to the increase of the system's emergence. The author comes to the conclusion that a pro-active, praxeological approach, which is the main vector of the dynamics of the work of the whole system of public administration, should be a decisive and determinant of the activity and development of the entire state management in the field of fire safety in Ukraine.
