ENResearch problem. As Gertner (2011) notes, more than 90 percent area marking solutions are implemented without relying on scientific insights and recommendations. These are numbers that demonstrate the need for research in this area and the scale of the problem. The competitive situation presupposes the need to rely on consistent, strategic decisions, public attitudes and needs when forming the branding of the area. This view is supported by Zenker and Martin (2011), emphasizing that the focus is on the branding strategy, its purpose and the evaluation of the place of application. And how to identify, advise and prepare communication about the uniqueness of places, this often remains a problematic issue. It presupposes to analyze the set goals and tasks as a component of the branding of the area, and to reveal the decisions that most affected communication. Research aim.
