One of the main areas of activities of territorial public self-government bodies (hereinafter referred to as TPS) is the implementation of economic activities aimed at improving of landscaping and amenities of the territory. In turn, in accordance with the provisions of article 1, paragraph 36 of the Russian Federation Urban Planning Code, improving of landscaping and amenities of the territory includes a set of measures established by the municipal landscaping and public amenities rules. The main goal of such measures is to ensure and improve the living conditions of citizens, maintain and improve sanitary and aesthetic condition of the territory of a municipal entity, and maintain the territories of settlements and the facilities located on such territories, including public areas, land plots, buildings, structures, and adjacent territories. The current legislation does not contain rules and procedures making obligatory consideration of the proposals of local residents and territorial public self-government bodies in the process of developing and adopting landscaping and public amenities rules as well as taking into account the specific features of the territory where territorial public self-government is carried out. At the same time, according to the author, in the context of the transition to a single level system of local self-government, consolidation of municipal entities, active involvement of territorial public self-government in the development and adoption of municipal landscaping and public amenities rules could become a real and effective mechanism for involving the population into the real local self-government, solving the issues related to improving the living conditions, could contribute to the development of municipal democracy.
