Abstract:
The concept of social architecture is a relatively new interdisciplinary field of study. Its definition is: a targeted, systemic process of designing and constructing social reality, aimed at improving the mechanisms of interaction between the state, civil society, business, and various social groups in order to improve the quality of public relations and address strategic issues of social justice in the area of food security for socially vulnerable groups. The purpose of this presentation is to develop a methodological framework and practical recommendations for shaping and regulating the socio-cultural architecture of a nutrition system for socially vulnerable groups. Global practice has established a set of approaches to rationalizing social architecture in the field of nutrition. These include emergency assistance and preemptive actions; targeted assistance to vulnerable groups; a combination of different forms of support; and strengthening local food systems. The institutional structure forms the "framework," the system of producer and recipient. They synchronize flows, from raw materials from local producers to finished rations or semi-finished products for social institutions, helping to reduce costs, ensure quality control, and flexibility in planning. A network of distribution points includes social stores, food distribution points, and canteens at social protection institutions, schools, and hospitals. Digital tools help accurately identify those in need, track the distribution of assistance, and avoid duplication. Degraded lands provide resources for environmentally friendly production. Government support motivates those involved in this process. Infrastructure ensures that the results reach those who need them. It's important to consider the cultural context: for example, engaging local communities in project discussions and taking into account traditional land use practices to ensure the system is not only effective but also acceptable to people. A case study from the Omsk Region on the formation of a "Social Catering Industry"-type structure is considered.
