In thesis the theoretical and methodical principles are substantiated and practical
recommendations on the state regulation of the housing and communal services market
of Ukraine are given. The definition of the concept of «housing and communal services
market» and «state regulation of the housing and communal services market» is
presented. Six criteria for state regulation of the housing and communal services
market have been formed. The draft decision of the local self-government body on the
openness of public information for communal enterprises is presented. There are 6
criteria for the establishment of supervisory boards at municipal enterprises. The
functions of state regulators in the housing and communal services market have been
clarified and their clear distinction is proposed for effective influence on market
participants and fulfillment of the requirements of consumers in terms of quality of
services. On the basis of statistical data, an econometric study of the impact of variables
on the main indicator was carried out, which enabled us to verify the theoretical
assumption that the level of indebtedness of the population in relation to housing and
communal services depends on the level of tariffs on these services and the level of
compensation of actual cost, and also to determine the degree of their influence.
The results of econometric evaluation based on statistical data, including
indicators in 25 cities of Ukraine, suggest that the size of tariffs for housing and
communal services has an impact on the level of indebtedness of the population and
does not significantly affect the debts of commercial consumers. A positive correlation
was found between the level of payment for housing and communal services with

indicators of the reimbursement of the actual cost of services for housing and
communal services and, accordingly, a negative correlation with the indicator of the
level of indebtedness. The result of applying the proposed optimization models should
be a competitive and efficient tariff policy, which is designed not only to satisfy the
demand for quality housing and communal services, but also to form a new territorial
and organizational structure of the housing and communal services market. Using the
municipal governing bodies (Lviv City Council) in their work, the developed
methodology for calculating tariffs for these services will improve the organization of
the management of these bodies, increase the productivity of their employees,
determine the necessary and sufficient amounts of housing and communal services.
At the new stage of reforming the economic mechanism of functioning and
development of the RZHP in the conditions of lowering inflation, the change of
approach to the formation of tariff policy is a priority. According to the «Doctrine of
balanced development of Ukraine 2030», which provides for the reform of housing and
communal services, the author identifies two groups of pricing factors on RZHKP.
The project of the standard quality standard for housing and communal services
is proposed, in particular its structure and control elements are revealed in application
of the system approach to quality management in the market of housing and communal
services by their producers. Based on the results of the study, a methodical approach
to the organization of state regulation of the housing and communal services market in
Ukraine has been developed, taking into account 7 criteria of services. Expected results
from the introduction of elements of scientific novelty of the dissertation are: approval
and implementation by the state regulator in the market of housing and communal
services of the Standard of quality of housing and communal services for their
producers and providers; Search for reserves of budget support for public-private
partnerships in the housing and communal services market in territorial communities;
ensuring monitoring of the quality of housing and communal services at the country
level as a whole.
Key words: state regulation, housing and communal services household,
public- private partnership, housing and communal services, housing and communal
services market, supervisory councils, tariff policy, tariffs, state regulatory policy,
standard of quality of provision of housing and communal services.
