Abstract
The study is pertinent due to the necessity of examining the impact of social capital development in Ukrainian territorial communities on local economic growth and entrepreneurial activity, particularly in the context of postwar recovery. The purpose of this article was to examine the impact of social capital development within territorial communities in Ukraine on local economic growth and entrepreneurial activity. To this end, the article presented a series of case studies drawn from a range of regions. The method of system-dialectical analysis, formal-logical, synthesis, generalization, induction, deduction, forecasting was used in the study. As a result, the essence of the category “social capital of the territorial community” was summarized, and the main theoretical and practical aspects of the development of such community capital were revealed. As a result, it was established that the theoretical foundations of the development of the social capital of territorial communities are mostly focused on their systematic and complex use in the mode of continuous improvement in the conditions of the war and post-war state of Ukraine. Also, during the research, it was determined that the principles of territorial community life with the appropriate level of social capital, which dominates within the community and determines the identification of residents with the community and its values in an open and free community, especially in life-threatening situations, are identified. The results obtained in the article should be used to develop programs for the development of social capital of territorial communities during military operations in Ukraine and in the post-war period
