DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION MECHANISMS IN THE SPHERE OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE IN THE CONDITIONS OF DIGITALIZATION

DOI: 10.52363/passa-2025.1-18

Abstract

The state of digital transformation of regions and territorial communities in Ukraine was analyzed based on the corresponding index (for the first quarter of 2025). This index covers 5 main areas in which regions are surveyed to ensure digital transformation in them, namely: digital public services; digital skills; digital infrastructure; digital economy; institutional capacity. The use of this index made it possible to identify, firstly, the leading regions in ensuring digital transformation (Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv and Ternopil). And secondly, the challenges and problems of digital transformation of regions in Ukraine. Among these problems, uneven digital development of regions, limited resources, insufficient institutional capacity, and low level of digital literacy were identified. In addition, ways of developing public administration in the field of regional development in Ukraine under the conditions of ensuring its digital transformation were proposed.

Keywords: public administration system, public administration mechanisms, state regional policy, socio-economic development, sustainable development, regional development, regions, principles, tools, digitalization, digital transformation.
