- assessment of the availability of infrastructure and services for various population groups, as well as development of practical recommendations for preventing and responding to identified challenges,
- increasing the level of safety, accessibility, inclusiveness and comfort of the living environment on the territory of the community.
The practical part of the security audit involved complex work, which included the focus of group research, interviews, the study of security documents in the community, as well as — conducting a survey of the territory along a certain route in the central part of the village of Kulikivka.
