Abstract:

The growing number of humanitarian crises in the world is highlighting the need to find new models of assistance that can ensure not only physical survival, but also long-term sustainability and integration of affected communities. The Ukrainian context, where the war has created multidimensional challenges to public well-being, requires special attention. The purpose of the study is to examine the conceptual foundations of a multi-level approach to humanitarian interventions and analyze the logic of their application in crises. The methodological basis of the work is a combination of conceptual analysis, interdisciplinary approaches and field assessment data, supplemented by international standards (Sphere Association, HNO, MSNA). As a result, it was found that a multi-level approach allows systematizing humanitarian activities according to the logic of a gradual transition from life support to life realization, reducing the risk of duplication of efforts and forming the basis for social sustainability. It has been shown that taking into account the physical, social, psychological and cultural dimensions of well-being ensures greater targeting of assistance and promotes the development of social capital. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of using the proposed model to assess the state of communities and plan targeted interventions that meet current needs. It is proved that the parallel implementation of psychosocial support enhances the effectiveness of material assistance and forms the basis for long-term development. The novelty of the study lies in the adaptation of the multi-level logic to the Ukrainian context, which allows combining international experience with local specifics. A limitation of the study is the insufficient representativeness of field data and the need for long-term observations. Further research should focus on developing mechanisms for coordinating humanitarian actors and integrating quantitative and qualitative indicators into monitoring systems.
