Sociological Research as a Mesthod of Social Diagnostics

Abstract

The urgency of the problem is due to the fact that information and energy processes
are the basis for the development of social systems and this predetermines the need
for their typological diagnosis. The article is aimed at substantiating the role of
sociological research in social diagnostics. The leading approach to the study of this
problem is an expert poll that allows us to identify the typological specificity of the
community. The results of sociological research and sociodiagnostics of various social
organizations, cities, regions, societies and nations show that their typological
characteristics are differentiated by qualitative specifics. The type of civilization, social
system, community or organization determines the specificity of the functioning and
applied management technologies. Types of regions, subjects of the federation, ethnic
groups and other territorial communities should be taken into account when drawing
up programs for the development of territorial social systems and in the practice of
public administration. The materials of the article have applied importance in social
policy and social management at the level of society, region, city, organization and will
be useful in the development of social projects and plans for social and economic
development of the territories.
