The article explores the evolution of scholarly approaches to public governance of social capital development in communities within the context of the increasing significance of innovative environmental models, particularly those of the circular and blue economy. The study substantiates the need for a gradual transition from classical administrative tools to adaptive, integrated strategies focused on sustainable development, necessitating the formation of a new methodological framework for local policy formulation. It is demonstrated that the development of social capital becomes a key factor in community cohesion and the successful implementation of agro-technological solutions aimed at efficient resource use, population involvement in innovation, and the formation of environmental responsibility. Given current challenges, the effective integration of public governance mechanisms with agro-technologies of the circular and blue economy enables conditions for community-driven economic growth, reduced dependence on external resources, and enhanced competitiveness of local production systems. Existing theories of public administration are reconsidered through the lens of new paradigms, including circular economy principles, agricultural digitalization, and ecological sustainability based on blue product development. A set of instruments has been developed to ensure a balance between economic efficiency, social cohesion, and environmental responsibility in the process of post-war community recovery. The article introduces, for the first time, a methodology for calculating the indicator of «Employment in the green and blue economy sectors and social cohesion in communities», with a specific focus on the cultivation of giant freshwater prawns as part of the blue economy, under conditions of decentralization and limited capital investment. It is proven that employment in the green and blue sectors serves as a marker of social cohesion. At the same time, economic indicators such as revenue from product sales, the share of the local population in production processes, and investment in human capital reflect not only financial feasibility but also the capacity of innovative practices to boost community competitiveness. SMART indicators and agro-technological approaches are presented as the foundation for predictive management of sustainable transformations, where social capital is viewed as a value and asset that ensures long-term impacts of public administration and community resilience.

Keywords: mechanisms, communities, social capital, trust, public governance, circular economy, social cohesion, agrotechnological solutions, institutions, SMART indicators, decentralization, blue economy, giant freshwater prawn, social development, fisheries, production, sector, digital democracy, post-war recovery.
