P. R. VASYLENKO, Kharkiv National Automobile and Highway University Automobile Department 1st year student THE PROCESS OF DEMOCRATIZATION IN UKRAINE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY During a short historical period radical transformations, affecting all spheres of the society, took place in Ukraine. In spite of the difficulties which our state confronted when getting its independence, an important consecutive stage of the process of democratic transformations in the Ukrainian society, development of signs of its independent state system was acceptance of the Constitution of Ukraine by the Supreme Council of Ukraine. The Basic Law confirmed political intentions and practical measures concerning realization of social, economic and political transformations, consolidated really existing social, economic and political relations, institutions as well as law-and-order formed at the moment of approving the Constitution. So, undoubtedly, the basic changes in the country took place in the political sphere. However, the influence of political transformations in Ukraine in all other spheres of the society – the spheres of communication, education, economy, all industries – does not give rise to doubt. Fundamental principles of the economic activity have changed, the relations of property have been transformed, structures and functions of the economy control system have been reformed. There appeared new directions of the economic activity. Market reforms make us reconsider the idea of the bases of enterprises activity organization including transport enterprises and, in particular, motor transport enterprises. Organization of effective work became one of the primary tasks for motor transport enterprises, as well as for the enterprises of other industries of economy. It is undoubtedly connected with passing of Ukrainian economy to market principles. 1 Speaking about the origin of transportation industry, it is necessary to mention that it originates in ancient times. But goods and information delivery were occasional at that time and the terms of delivery could be absolutely different in each case. In the course of time, using achievements of science and technology people have learned to transfer information and deliver goods in various ways. The services which in ancient time were engaged in transferring information, in the course of time suffered considerable changes and their basic role in the modern world is delivery of freight from a consigner to a consignee. Nowadays there is a great number of various transportation companies, firms carrying goods (both within one city or country and on the international level), messenger services, etc. They deliver loads from one destination to another. Freight is transported by all modes of transport – land transport which includes motor cars and trucks of different carrying capacity and railway transport; marine and river transport; air transport, etc. Nowadays, in Ukraine there are many different companies which are engaged in freight transportation both in Ukraine and on the international level. Among them it is possible to mention such Ukrainian carriers as «Gyunsel», «Intrans» and many others. All these companies have a well developed network of representative offices on the territory of Ukraine (they are, mainly, regional centers, big cities, and also cities which are situated at convenient traffic interchanges). Through their regional offices these companies can offer a wide variety of services connected with goods delivery (for example, from warehouse to warehouse, from door to warehouse, from warehouse to door and from door to door, where a warehouse is a representative office of the company in this or that city and a door is the address of both a consigner and a consignee [1]. Let us consider basic principles of two well known transport enterprises functioning – «Gyunsel» and «Intrans». «Gyunsel» company was founded in 1997 and at first it provided passenger bus transportation services but soon it managed to extend the list of its services. Due to high professionalism of the staff, well-tried working schemes and presence of the upto-the-minute technological basis, the company took the leading place both in the 2 sphere of passenger and freight transportation. Moreover it also began to provide the service of mail express delivery all across Ukraine. «Gyunsel» company carries out freight transportation in Ukraine every day. It has more than 70 offices in 50 cities of Ukraine. The company dispatches and receives parcels, valuable packages. Fragile objects, objects of non-standard size and different kinds of bulk freight can be delivered to the consignee within 24 hours. The company delivers load using the following schemes: from warehouse to warehouse, from door to warehouse, from warehouse to door and from door to door. The leading enterprises of Ukraine cooperate with «Gyunsel» company. A great number of enterprises became permanent clients of the company. The individual approach to each client and maximum efficiency allowed the company to become a leading specialist in the sphere of trucking industry. «Gyunsel» company has more than once been awarded with diplomas and letters of commendation of the Ministry of Transport of Ukraine and Ukrainian association of motor carriers for development of transport infrastructure in Ukraine and high level of service. On the whole, the services provided by the company include bus transportation of passengers, express delivery of load, goods delivery to the company`s office, goods following service, preliminary calculation of transportation and other costs, providing information concerning the freight. Transport and logistics company «Intrans» began its activity at the market of freight transportation in 1998. The basic directions of the enterprise activity are freight transportation both in Kiev and in Ukraine, providing forwarding services and passenger transportation by comfortable minibuses. Special features of freight transportation carried out by «Intrans» company include a high professional level of providing services: speed, reliability, accuracy, the ability to solve various current problems quickly. Today, the company has at its disposal cars of the leading European brands of different volume and carrying capacity from 1 to 10 tons, including «Gazelle» cars. Such a wide spectrum of vehicles gives an opportunity to satisfy the needs of the 3 most demanding customers. Due to the gained experience the company acquired the reputation of the enterprise that renders high quality, services at moderate prices [3]. So it is necessary to mention that the present period of development of transportation industry in Ukraine is characterized by some incompleteness. On the one hand, creation of modern normative and legal basis of trucking industry activity is in progress, the new system of regulation of motor-car and other kinds of transport appropriate to the market conditions is being formed. At the same time, as a result of practical activity of thousands of independent enterprises and entrepreneurs at the market of trucking industry, the process of creation of new practice of commercial relations in the sphere of transport goes on, the applied methods of studying the enterprise market, selection of its sphere of activity, advertising, choosing and grounding prices, competitive activity are being worked through. Solving the task of providing steady functioning of this industry requires elimination of many barriers and coordinated work on behalf of the state and society and creation of a single complex program of reforms directed at further development of trucking industry. 1. 2. 3.
