The research considers innovation processes due to the interaction of spatial, social, cultural and managerial factors in the dynamic conditions of the globalized world. Special attention is paid to identifying not only the economic and technological prerequisites of innovations, but also to the deep socio-cultural factors that modulate the innovative sustainability of public administrative institutions at the local level. The theoretical and analytical stage involves a critical study of scientific sources that highlight the evolution of ideas about innovations in regional and local development and the transformation of concepts of spatial organization of innovation processes in the context of postmodern trends. The empirical part of the study is based on conducting a sociological survey of residents of different communities to collect data on the perception of innovations, willingness to support innovative projects, the level of trust in local institutions, the assessment of the impact of local identity on the development of the territory, and attitudes towards global changes.
