Description
Summary:The article presents and analyzes the results of the May 2019 study of the digital development of districts, cities and territorial communities of Dnipropetrovsk region. It is through such research that we can identify critical territories, local digital development issues, and find ways to overcome them. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, information development studies are conducted only at the national level, bypassing the administrative-territorial units of regional subordination. Using the methodology proposed at the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Institute of Public Administration of the National Academy of Public Administration, allows to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the use and development of digital technologies in these territories. The introduction of modern digital instruments into the practice of regulating territorial development is conditioned by the priority of reforms of decentralization of power and public administration, the necessity of introducing new approaches, methods and meansof forming and implementing public policy and public administration in the conditions of the information society. The implementation of these tools should result in an efficient, transparent, open and flexible structure of local public administration, using the latest digital technologies aimed at social sustainable development and adequate response to internal and external challenges. The authors draw attention to the need to combine the efforts of different sectors of society within the framework of regional information programs, where the opportunities for cooperation between government, business and local authorities are much greater than at the national level. The paper notes the lack of a clear understanding and approval of plans for the digitization of public life, the implementation of e-governance and e-democracy tools in a number of administrative and territorial units, as well as the lack of necessary and sufficient information on available best practices and mechanisms for their implementation. Proposals are given for the tasks of the Regional Electronic Dnepropetrovsk 2020 Informatization Program and suggestions for improving the methods of digital development research at the local level.
