description The article explores the impact of a volatile security environment on the processes of sustainable development within territorial communities. The study aims to provide a theoretical justification and practical analysis of how a volatile security environment affects the sustainable development of territorial communities. This includes identifying key threats, assessing their influence on socio-economic processes, and developing approaches to enhance community resilience in conditions of instability. A range of general scientific and specialized methods were employed in the research, including the methods of analysis and synthesis to generalize theoretical approaches to the concepts of the security environment and sustainable development; a systems approach to comprehensively examine the impact of security factors on socio-economic processes within communities; and comparative analysis to contrast the functioning of territorial communities under varying levels of security. The key characteristics of the security environment under conditions of socio-economic and geopolitical instability have been analyzed. The main threats and risks affecting the stability of community functioning have been identified, particularly in the context of decentralization, internal population displacement, and military actions. An assessment of community performance was conducted through a comprehensive analysis of all relevant indicators, which made it possible to distinguish between lower-performing and higher-performing communities. The analysis of the indicator set highlights the importance of planning and effective emergency response to strengthen community resilience and improve overall performance. Communities that were not adequately prepared for war have proven to be more vulnerable to unforeseen challenges and less capable of rapid response. Notably, communities with lower overall performance demonstrated only half the level of war preparedness compared to more effective ones. The study substantiates the need for the implementation of adaptive sustainable development management strategies that incorporate security factors. Approaches are proposed to enhance community resilience through effective risk management and the strengthening of institutional capacity.
