Abstract. The article analyzes the features and trends of the socio-cultural dynamics of local communities that crystallize in the process of transformation of industrial, economic and institutional relations. Modernization of living conditions and changes in ownership forms determine the accumulation of destruction of traditional social and cultural markers, exerting a system-forming effect on the evolution of local communities. The intensification of the processes of integration of the multicultural world, the expansion of interaction and mutual influence of sociocultures provokes the algorithm of confrontation between traditional socio-cultural practices and modernization, integration initiatives in the socio-cultural environment. Sociocultural development trends are formed in the process of integration/disintegration of culture and sociality in an unstable society. In local communities, the evolution of socioculture reflects the state and functioning of the sociocultural environment, in the process of synthesizing traditions, innovations, and archaic patterns that determine the content and dynamics of emerging models with a duality of ontogenesis. Processes are being formed, on the scale of which the desire to preserve the basic traditional socio-cultural norms and principles is realized, to ensure the compatibility of socio-cultures and the integrity of traditions in the process of interaction. The fundamental sociocultural practices contain a certain potential for regulation, coordination and ensuring the sustainable development of the transforming sociocultural space. Modernization, stimulating the diversification of forms of ownership, determines the decomposition of traditional social and cultural relations, motivating the convergence of the foundations of the existence of a local community, determines the modification of traditional ways of existence and development, changing ideals, goals, and meanings of life. Sociocultural models of adaptation are crystallized, generating a breakdown of socio-cultural balance, disintegration of the local community, and the emergence of socio-cultural and economic contradictions. In local communities, conditions are developing for the formation of hybrid models of local development as a way of adaptation in the process of transition from a traditional to a modernized society. The defining feature of the transformation of the socio-cultural environment is the transitivity of positions, the decrease in the influence of traditional culture and sociality.
