Abstract

The key purpose of the article is contained in the analysis of informal practices in municipal management in terms of socio-economic development of rural areas on the basis of the analysis of available empirical data. The properties of informal practices in the context of the socio-demographic development of rural areas were identified, and an attempt was made to explain the consequences of their application for the municipalities of Russia. It is proved that in municipal management in the conditions of socio-demographic development of rural areas, there are real prerequisites for their spread: the presence of a short social distance between participants; the inclusion of the population in the management process, which cannot always be foreseen and fully regulated; the traditions of informal communications in the local community, which are transferred to the system of municipal management of rural development. Based on the materials of an empirical study, typical informal practices applied at the level of rural settlements in the context of socio-demographic development are systematized. Within the framework of the article, theoretical and practical studies of the authors of the research team in the field of institutionalization of informal practices in the context of the socio-demographic development of rural areas are presented. The main data of sociological research, conducted among municipal officials and the population in rural areas of the Belgorod region, as well as experts in the field of state and municipal management.
