An attempt is made to assess the main negative effects that arise in connection with the non-admission to the provision of services and (or) the performance of major capital works by homeowners.Methods. The study is based on a systematic and structural-functional approach, and the assessment of negative effects of counteraction to the implementation of national programs by citizens is carried out using quantitative methods.Results. The analysis made it possible to identify the reasons for the late and incomplete implementation of planned measures due to the opposition from citizens on the example of the implementation of the major capital works program in the Sverdlovsk region. In practice, in this situation, the non-admission is manifested in the refusal of homeowners to provide access to common property. The authors believe that the main negative effects that arise in connection with the impeding the provision of services and (or) the performance of major capital works on the part of homeowners, involve legal costs, image losses, penalties and lost profits.Scientific novelty.

Purpose. Research of the factors, parameters and conditions that affect the investment attractiveness of the mining industry. Methods. Author showed that the advance stages of conducting geological work enhances the quality of the information base of results forecast forecasts, as well as the reliability of the study of prospects with the help of comparison methods. System monitoring provides rapid introduction of adjustments to the ongoing research. Results. Results of the study revealed that due to the backlog of work status of geological mineral resource base of Russia does not correspond to the main tasks of the development of the mining industry and hinders the attraction of investments in the sector. By analyzing the causes that affect the condition of the industry, the author concludes that the proposed by Russian government an innovative model of development of the mining sector is not possible without an in-depth analysis of the geological conditions and regional peculiarities. Scientific novelty. It was found that the main reasons affecting the investment attractiveness of industries are: weak degree of geological study, the lack of monitoring of the mining industry current condition, as well as violation of the exploration principle, which resulted in a decrease in availability of the mineral resource base for the mining industry, not only in the Far East, but also in Russia.

Conclusions. Educational systems in France and Russia are very similar, if we consider their legal regulations and standards. There are similar educational objectives, main principles used as a basis of educational system. Public policy in the sphere of the secondary education is very similar in both countries. The main objective in France is to provide for optimal development of every child, and it coincides with the main objective of our public policy. Having all those similarities in both systems of secondary education, public policy implementation and realization power bodies’ responsibilities are rather different. Positive experience of France can be interesting and useful in Russia.
