Digitalization of the system of public and municipal administration in the framework of strategic objectives for territorial development implementation

Abstract

Subject. The article addresses the technology and trends in the digitization of public and municipal administration, and the correspondence of strategic goals of territorial development to the State and municipal policy on introducing and using digital technologies as tools to achieve these goals. Objectives. The aim is to determine prospects for the development of digital technologies that are demanded and applied in the system of the State and municipal administration, based on the results of auditing authorities, including the analysis of the use of budget funds for acquisition (development) and support to information systems in the work of government authorities. Methods. The methodological framework rests on traditional methods of logical, historical, comparative analysis, and on methods applied by expert services of control authorities, like the documentary method, analysis of regulations, observation and processing of collected empirical data, graphic and table analysis. Results. We revealed and systematized problems related to the introduction and development of digital technologies in public and municipal administration, presented the composition of information systems that ensure the process of digital transformation in the sphere of governance. We built a model of digital transformation of the system of public and municipal administration, based on the systems, large-scale and innovative approaches to the management of complex deterministic systems with clear institutional boundaries and transformation goals. Conclusions. Local governments need to work towards the quality of information systems and their data to fully incorporate them into the national system of government, to improve the digital literacy of the population.
