DEVELOPMENT OF E-GOVERNMENT IN UKRAINE: CURRENT ISSUES OF IMPLEMENTATION

The scientific study highlights the theoretical foundations of the electronic docu- ment management system as an integral component of e-government in Ukraine. The relevance is substantiated, the legislative provision and regulation of this area are characterized, in particular, the basic features of e-government as a com- ponent of the system of relations between the state and business are determined. The normative and legal framework is formed by the laws of Ukraine, which establish the order of organization and activity of the state apparatus, and regu- late the general principles of state policy in the field of informatization in general and the administrative process in particular. The analysis of normative document resources such as: «Basic Principles of Development of the Information Society in Ukraine for 2007–2015», laws of Ukraine «About Information», «About Ac- cess to Public Information», «About Electronic Document and Electronic Doc- ument Management», «About Standardization» is highlighted etc. Taking into account the active implementation of the latest information technologies in the management activity, the law of Ukraine «On Electronic Documents and Elec- tronic Document Management» is important, which ensures the implementation of state policy in matters of document management and documentation manage- ment support. It is worth noting that this law represents a consistent theoretical basis for research during the introduction of electronic document management and regulates general issues in this area. The implementation of modern means of electronic government provides an opportunity to improve the quality of public services to citizens radically, and a new level of these services will be achieved through the system integration transformation and improvement of information systems at all levels. It was determined that information and communication tech- nologies open up new opportunities for improving the mechanisms of interaction with authorities, and the implementation of electronic governance in Ukraine is a powerful European integration factor that provides an effective impetus for the interaction of public authorities with citizens, public associations, and businesses by the requirements and standards of the European Union.

Influence of blockchain technology on improving the electronic governance in Ukraine

The article examines the features of the influence of technical and technological tools on improving the quality of electronic governance in the field of public management and administration, in particular blockchain technology. These technologies have certain positive applied results, implemented on the basis of theoretical and methodological research by domestic and foreign scientists. In the future, they will become one of the basic technological resources using the e-government mechanism in Ukraine for the development of the entire sphere of public management and administration.
 To make appropriate decisions on the implementation of blockchain technology as part of the implementation of projects based on e-governance in Ukraine, it is advisable to analyze at the proper scientific level the principles of functioning of blockchain technology in the field of public administration, to identify the corresponding advantages and disadvantages of their use in the context of global challenges and threats, and also in the context of Ukraine’s integration processes in the EU; carry out assessment and forecasting of risks associated with their future use in the field of activity indicated by the author.
 The article discusses the features of building blockchain technology (hereinafter referred to as blockchain) in e-governance, the essence of which is the accounting and exchange of ownership rights to digital assets (structured data) in the form of a distributed registry of a peer-to-peer network (Distributed Ledger).
 An analysis of the term «blockchain» in scientific domestic and foreign literature is presented. The technological advantages of using blockchain technology in e-government are identified to ensure interoperability of the activities of public administration bodies. The essence of blockchain models is revealed by subjects of administration and by the method of access to data, operations and transactions; their classification of organizations according to four typical patterns: inclusive exclusive, public, closed.

Development of Electronic Governance to a Digital Ecosystem

Problem setting. The scientific work is devoted to the study of the economic and legal aspects of the modernization of e-government in Ukraine into a digital ecosystem to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Aspects of the functioning and development of e-government and the problems of transforming governance into digital attract the attention of researchers from Ukraine. However, the topic of e-government as an ecosystem is not analyzed at all in the publications of domestic scientists. Theoretical and practical aspects of the ecosystem approach as a direction of digitalization of public administration are revealed in the works of foreign authors and public documents of international organizations. Purpose of the research is to analyze the state of e-governance in Ukraine and develop recommendations for improving the regulatory framework for the digital transformation of national governance to an ecosystem model. Article’s main body. The expediency of the ecosystem approach in digital governance is due to the need for state regulation of digital ecosystems. The ecosystem model of governance is based on digital technologies, and the electronic model is based on information and communication technologies. An e-government ecosystem is a complex sociotechnical system that unites citizens, businesses, organizations and authorities and uses electronic platforms to create value and distribute it among its participants. Electronic governance in Ukraine is gradually moving towards its organization as an ecosystem. Today, several dozen digital transformation projects are being developed in Ukraine to automate relations in the government system. However, cyber security experts identified significant problems in the Diya digital project, in particular problems with personal data protection, openness and transparency of digital transformations. Сitizens play a key role in digital public administration, so the goal of human development and protection of their rights should be enshrined in legislation as a priority during digital transformations. Innovative management technologies provide significant opportunities in management, but are risky. The need for thorough research and legal regulation of innovative solutions before their introduction into government processes is emphasized. It is proposed to establish responsibility for the security of data and processes in the digital ecosystem of governance. Conclusions and prospects for development. Legislation and legal acts related to the informatization and digitization of government, economy and society in Ukraine need to be updated taking into account the priority goals of human development and the protection of their rights, the need to increase the level of cyber security and data protection, the development of competitive programs for the automation of the will of citizens, the implementation of the principles of openness and transparency state bodies, monitoring the effectiveness of governance digitization. The prospect of further research is the legal provision of data protection in digital ecosystems.

Legal and organizational foundations for delivering e-government

The aim of the research was to analyze the legal and organizational foundations of e-government. The introduction of e-government in Ukraine is regulated by a large number of normative legal acts in the field of information society development. The analysis of information sources-legal norms by using general scientific and special scientific methods led to the conclusion that the provisions of administrative legislation also belong to the information legislation. It was concluded that the legal framework for the implementation of e-government should not only be harmonized with generally recognized international standards, but also, developed and adopted in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals until 2030. Based on the assessment and comparison of the main trends in the development of digital economy, simplification, decentralization, deregulation, institutional capacity development and communication support are attributed to the main achievements and digital capabilities of Ukraine in the direction of e-government. Definitely, the need to improve e-governance mechanisms in the sphere of telecommunication networks at the state level is emphasized.

Administrative and legal bases of implementation of e-government in Ukraine

The article is devoted to an important and modern topic of studying the administrative and legal framework for the implementation of e-government in Ukraine. Its relevance is due to the fact that Ukraine, as a developing country, has quite high rating of the United Nations e-Government Development Index. Therefore, the existence of an appropriate legal framework and an extensive system of public authorities that are actors in the field of e-government is a priority issue. The purpose of this article is to determine the components of the administrative and legal framework for the implementation of e-government in Ukraine. The object of this article is public relations to implement and operate e-government. The subject of the study is directly the administrative and legal principles of implementation in Ukraine. The authors propose to analyze the concept of e-government in Ukraine, its potential to address a range of issues, and the risks of its improper implementation. Methods which were used for proper research: method of terminological analysis, structural-functional method, descriptive, institutional approach, critical-dialectical and legal analysis methods.

Features of the introduction of e-government in the executive authorities of Ukraine

The study of the latest trends in society reflects the need to create modern methods of interaction between state and people. It is analyzed that in order to build and unite the world community it is necessary to introduce informatization of social life. Public relations should be based on the principles of equality and accessibility of services that ensure a decent standard of living. After all, one of the most important tasks of the state apparatus is to provide conditions that allow the realization of human and civil rights and freedoms. E-government solves a number of existing problems, as well as generally improves the administrative and management system and increases the efficiency of public authorities in particular. The introduction of the newest institute causes the transformation of the state apparatus and must take into account the public interests and peculiarities of the national system of government. Implementation of measures provided by e-government will improve the system of public services, as well as increase the level of trust in public authorities.
 In Ukraine, in order to achieve the goal of implementing European standards of e-services, openness and transparency of government, the process of implementing e-government was launched, which is still ongoing and is improving every year. In particular, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in the context of reforming the public administration system approved the Concept of e-government in Ukraine. Under this Concept by 2020 the modernization of public services and the development of interaction between government, citizens and business through information and communication technologies, development of electronic services, open data, electronic tools for citizen engagement, electronic identification and trust services, electronic interaction, electronic document management, the formation of the basic information and telecommunications infrastructure of e-government, improving the efficiency of e-government development management.

The article considers the development of e-government in Ukraine during the military aggression in our country and under the influence of such a disease as COVID-19, because due to the mass pandemic many institutions that provide necessary administrative and public services to citizens were forced to go online regime, which was a great impetus for the spread of digitalization and modernization of legislation, and due to the imposition of martial law, the provision of some administrative services was suspended and access to registers was limited, so the question arises to study this issue. We have studied the legal framework for the development of e-government in Ukraine. The essence, features and advantages of functioning of e-government technologies are also analyzed. The current state of e-government in Ukraine in the period from 2016 to the present is determined separately, namely the compliance of Ukrainian legislation with the objectives of e-government development. Consideration in the work of the policy, goals and objectives of the newly created body in this area, namely the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, is relevant. We also considered the policy of the newly formed government regarding the introduction of "State in a smartphone" through the use of such a mobile application as "Action", which has recently become very popular due to the simplified mechanism of providing administrative services to citizens without leaving home. Through the prism of European experience, the introduction of such an application as "Action at home", which facilitates the control of people who are already ill or in self-isolation. The issue of obtaining a certificate of internally displaced person status was considered separately, which is very important for people who have been forced to leave their homes and need protection from the state. Our research shows that even the impact of emergencies can lead to positive developments in the country, and after reading this paper you will understand that the government's plans to develop e-government are quite ambitious, but at the same time promising. Therefore, in the near future, most public services will be available using only a smartphone or computer, and due to hostilities, some services have been restricted but are temporary and in constant motion.

Formation and development of e-government in Ukraine: synergistic approach

The experience of modern public administration shows that the systems approach as the basic concept of e-government does not provide the desired results in the context of rapid transformations of the economy and society. This article deals with the scientific substantiation of the use of a synergistic approach in the practice of e-government and gives a comparative analysis of system and synergistic approaches in public administration. The authors compare the basic principles of the system approach and synergetics, and then investigate the exchange of public information between public authorities and users of this information in the e-government system. The article offers a model of information exchange, which allows identifying bottlenecks in the e-government system and identifying ways to eliminate negative factors. The authors summarise the results of research on the existence of self-organisation processes in public administration and the need for new approaches to e-government based on the concept of synergetics.

E-state building: legal approaches

Over the last decade, e-government has evolved tremendously from being a problem in itself to a cross-cutting transformational issue that supports governments' ability to deliver on promises. Defined differently by different actors, e-government usually refers to the use of information and communication technologies to change the relationship between citizens, businesses and different branches of government. This involves much more than just translating government services to digital platforms. Rather, e-government has become a form of interaction between government and non-governmental stakeholders. It is a process that requires a common government (or interagency) strategy, planning, resources, and political will. It is now important for governments to look at their achievements, identify and focus on the medium- and long-term issues that will emerge in the next decade. E-government basically uses information and information technologies and entails the development of e-services and the provision of quality information to citizens. It also seeks to increase transparency and accountability and create effective public institutions. This development has led to an increase in the amount of information that government agencies need to collect, send and pluralize. European governments are encouraged to invest in the development of e-government and provide citizens with access to their information flows. Europe has adopted the Public Sector Information Directive because it is seen as a resource that can stimulate innovation and national development. Governments around the world are enacting freedom of information laws to facilitate access to government information. However, it will also require a robust information management structure that includes archiving and recording information, common specifications to facilitate the exchange of information between government agencies, business process analysis to identify important information, and management of the entire information contingent. This study is aimed at revealing legal approaches to e-government, the concept of e-government in Ukraine and the world, tools for the introduction of the digital state, as well as the prospects and transition of the state apparatus in real time.

E-GOVERNMENT AS A METHOD FOR LEGAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CIVIL SOCIETY AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

E-government is a form of public administration which promotes efficiency, openness and transparency of public authorities and local governments with the use of information and telecommunications technologies to form a new type of state focused on meeting the needs of citizens. E-government is studied as a way, a form, the concept, system and mechanism of cooperation between the state (public administration) and public sectors (civil society). As a method for legal communication between civil society and public administration, e-government plays the role of a means of public self-government, which involves interactivity and continuity of interaction between citizens and the state, the presence of public control over the activities of public authorities. This article is dedicated to reveal the role of e-government for realizing the goals of legal communication between its participants in public life. However, further in-depth analysis requires understanding the role of e-government as a means of legal communication, changing the focus and direction of its development in the digital age, as well as exploring promising areas of legal regulation of virtual legal relations between public authorities and civil society. The implementation of e-government in Ukraine should be provided on a qualitatively new level to develop efficient legal communication between government and society as a whole, strengthen confidence in the state and its policies, improve cooperation between public authorities and local governments, business, citizens and civil servants. The authors of this article adhered to its purpose, which is to analyze the understanding of the role of e-government as a means of legal communication, changing the focus and direction of its development in the digital age, and exploring promising areas of legal regulation of virtual legal relations between government and civil society.

The practical application of the indicators used in the international expertise system is provided by the Law of Ukraine “On Scientific and Scientific-Technological Activity” of November 26, 2015. Since 2010, the government-approved Concepts for the Development of e-Government in Ukraine have had a significant impact on the digitalization of society, in particular on the digitalization of education and research programs and related institutions. Digitalization of program-target planning and management in efficient corporate information systems is becoming an important means of global competition, particularly competition in high technology industries. As of 2021, only a few percent of educational and research institutions (ERIs) in Ukraine are covered by well-known, verified global rankings, which reflects the current situation of the Ukrainian high technology industry. Working diligently with international science and engineering performance, based on modern information and communications technology (ICT), is an integral part of organizational efforts in a globally competitive environment. The use of modern ICTs, in particular, domestic distributed information technologies in scientific and organizational activity can be useful for improving the scientific and technical performance of domestic ERIs. The use of distributed information technologies in scientific and organizational activities should play the role of a decision support system to maximize the world rankings of ERIs of Ukraine under given resource constraints, as well as to plan an effective trajectory for improving these ratings in the dynamics. If such an application is successful, the positive effect will exceed the projected costs by orders of magnitude. The development of science and engineering indicators is similar to the development of financial and economic ratings, and therefore affects the global markets of educational and research services, as well as investments in high technology industries. Given the imperfections of domestic financial markets, these indicators play an important role for domestic ERIs.
