Theoretical principles of the functioning of the social infrastructure of rural areas

 The article examines the theoretical aspects of the functioning of the social infrastructure of rural areas and systematizes the peculiarities of its functioning in modern conditions. It is argued that the state of rural social infrastructure is currently satisfactory and does not contribute to the formation of suitable living and working conditions for the rural population. As a result, a conclusion was made about the need for a comprehensive study of the functioning and development of rural social infrastructure and the development of a set of measures for its improvement in the conditions of the post-war period of the country. The important role of social infrastructure in ensuring the sustainable development of rural areas and agriculture has been proven, that in the conditions of war and the complicated post-war period, there will be a need for scientific developments regarding the improvement and restoration of social infrastructure objects in the direction of improving the living conditions of the rural population and strengthening the social capital of rural territory Approaches to the definition of social infrastructure are systematized and a conclusion is drawn that this category cannot be equated with the "social sphere". It is highlighted that in the evolutionary development of the essence of the economic category "social infrastructure of rural areas" there was a transformation of the understanding of the goals of social infrastructure - from the formation of the necessary living conditions of the population to ensuring the reproduction of man and society. It is presented that the purpose of the functioning of the social infrastructure is to create a comfortable environment aimed at improving the living conditions, lifestyle and activities of the rural population, ensuring its physical, intellectual and spiritual development. It has been proven that the rural social infrastructure is organized on the basis of an organic combination of territorial and sectoral principles, but it is not focused on a specialized sectoral consumer, but on a territorial one, i.e. the rural population. It is proposed to consider the definition of rural social infrastructure as a category based on numerous functions and taking into account their impact on the national economy of the country. The main functions of the social purpose infrastructure of the village and their impact on the achievement of  sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas are considered. The author's definition of the category "social infrastructure of rural areas" is proposed as a complete system of interconnected links and elements of the rural economy (institutions, enterprises, industries and types of activities), which contributes to the socio-economic development of the territory, as well as ensures human life and affects its quality life through the satisfaction of needs.

Key words: social infrastructure, rural areas, social sphere, elements of social infrastructure, management of social infrastructure development.
