As a practice of recent decades has shown, an implementation of models of both local self-government and fiscal fed-eralism, defined by a current legislation and declared by the authorities, significantly limit a development opportunity of local communities, weakening their influence on a socio-economic development of territories. As a result, a widespread development of forms of self-organization of local communities in recent years has acquired a project character and has become their reaction to an existing contradiction in this area. The purpose of this study is to substantiate a factors and institutional mechanisms of self-organization of the development of local communities as a way of adapting the popula-tion to dynamically changing socio-economic conditions. The main research methods were a generalization of the practice of self-organization of local communities in Russia and abroad, as well as an institutional analysis of the interaction of a population and the mechanism of self-organization of local communities. Based on a generalization of domestic and for-eign practice and as a result of the study, a trend of expanding the processes of self-organization of local communities is substantiated; an understanding of a nature of a processes occurring in local communities, taking into account their com-plexity and diversity, is proposed; a definition of a social institution of self-organization is given; a main factors initiating the processes of self-organization of the local population are highlighted; a concept and role of a phenomenon of anomie in the process of changing the institutional environment is proposed; an institutional mechanism of self-organization of local communities, which has a project character, is revealed; a structure of an institute of self-organization of local com-munities is determined. Further development of self-organization of local communities will allow to effectively solving social and economic problems of a development of local territories, involving a population and its resources in this process on a project basis.

Keywords: local communities, municipalities, self-organization, autonomous finance, financing of socially significant pro-jects, public confidence.
