The publication contains conceptual provisions about the role of value orientations and rethinking them in the new conditions of reforms on the decentralization of power. The regional values of Kharkiv region, which make up the potential of the regional territory, as well as the reasons for the growing interest of scholars and executives in the topic of «values», in particular those that characterize the relationship between the government and society, are defined. Within the value approach, the author allocates the «attitude to the territory» on the part of power structures, plus understanding of the «special status» of territories. A new direction of the value approach has been defined in the process of reforms on decentralization of power and development of local self-government. It is indicated that success of the reforms is not less related to the quality of human resources than to the availability of financial capital. The article allocates the components of development potential in conjunction with the basic and the new values, and proves that the fate of reforms depends on a successful solution to the objective problem – the existing imbalance of relationships between the power structures and the communities. The value approach is used for a new model of zoning of territories, as well as for indicating the attitudes towards the institutional innovations.
