The article is devoted to the study of topical issues of sustainable development management in territorial communities under conditions of increasing economic instability. The limitations of traditional static management models in response to rapid changes and crisis phenomena are considered. The necessity and essence of the adaptive management concept as a flexible, iterative approach involving experimentation, monitoring, and adjustment of strategies are substantiated and revealed. Based on an analysis of previous research, the importance of financial stability, flexible institutional structures, and decentralization for ensuring the adaptability of communities is highlighted. The necessity of integrating structural, target, and process approaches to forming sustainable development models is emphasized. The practical aspects of successfully implementing sustainable development principles are demonstrated using the example of Freiburg (Germany). Summarizing the considered aspects of adaptive management of sustainable development of territorial communities in conditions of economic turbulence, it is worth emphasizing the critical importance of transitioning from static to flexible models of sustainable development management at the local level, especially in the context of increasing economic instability and the unpredictability of the modern world. Old traditional approaches, oriented towards linear planning and rigid hierarchical structures, are proving insufficiently effective for responding to the rapid changes and crisis phenomena that characterize economic turbulence. In conditions of uncertainty, the ability of communities to quickly adapt, experiment, learn from their own experience, and adjust strategies becomes a key factor in ensuring their long-term resilience and progress towards sustainable development. The conceptual framework of adaptive management reveals it as an iterative decision-making process that includes monitoring, evaluation, and adjustment of actions. Integrating adaptive management principles into the context of sustainable development of communities allows for increasing their ability to use resources effectively, respond to challenges, stimulate innovation, and involve the community in management processes. The research underscores the prospects for building effective adaptive models of sustainable development in Ukraine, emphasizing the need for systematic work at the political, strategic, institutional, and financial levels and community involvement. In the context of economic turbulence and future post-war recovery, implementing adaptive approaches to sustainable development management is a key condition for ensuring the long-term prosperity and resilience of Ukrainian territorial communities.

Keywords: sustainable development, territorial communities, adaptive management, economic turbulence, development strategies.
