Maneuvering into the future: Open-Architecture Data Repository (OADR) prototype: Towards civil and commercial space traffic coordination

In 2018, the US National Space Council released Space Policy Directive-3 (SPD-3), which instructed relevant US government agencies to begin re-assigning many aspects of space traffic management (STM) and space traffic coordination (STC) serving non-military US space operators. This was identified as a ‘whole of government’ approach, and the organization identified to lead many of the efforts was the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Space Commerce (OSC), in the US Department of Commerce (DOC). The US Congress, in Public Law 116–93, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, legislation directed that the Secretary of Commerce contract with the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) to study the Trump Administration's proposal. The NAPA study affirmed OSC would be best suited. Congress also mandated that OSC accomplish an important first step: assemble an Open Architecture Data Repository11Since this paper was first presented, the name for the effort, the Open Architecture Data Repository (OADR), has been changed to TraCSS (Traffic Coordination System for Space). As the focus of this work is on the prototype demonstration system, we will retain the use of OADR in this paper. (OADR) prototype to demonstrate the efficacy of the approach and architecture.OSC, along with The Aerospace Corporation, MITER, MIT Lincoln Laboratories and the University of Texas-Austin, architected and assembled a working prototype in 2021. The team obtained two-months of data from the US Space Surveillance Network (SSN), along with data from commercial space surveillance data providers and satellite operator ephemerides. Using the prototype, the authors analyzed the data, identified potential satellite conjunctions, calculated probabilities of collision, and generated Conjunction Data Messages (CDMs). The team compared the results to existing operational systems, with good agreement. OSC and their partners demonstrated the OADR prototype results to the Congress, as funded and directed by Public Law 116–260, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. This paper describes some of the background and rationale for the prototype, goals and derived requirements of the prototype, the architecture, software deployed, data utilized, conjunction analysis results, comparison of the prototype's results with existing operational US government systems, and possible next steps for the OADR.

Fifty years as the fourth pillar of public administration: A polycentric extension of the social equity framework

AbstractWhile public consideration of social equity pre‐dates Minnowbrook (Blessett et al., 2019; Burnier, 2021), the field formally recognized social equity as its fourth pillar after the conference (Frederickson, 1971). The National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA, 2000), Svara and Brunet (2004, 2005), and Johnson and Svara (2011) outlined a unified social equity framework along four dimensions: procedural fairness, access, quality, and outcomes. We build on this important work by offering a polycentric extension, which considers what social equity means when government programs are often place‐based and delivered in an intergovernmental context with multiple decision‐making units across spatial levels (e.g., state, city, neighborhood) simultaneously. Using the Community Development Block Grant as an example, we demonstrate the importance of careful consideration of geographic levels in the delivery of public goods for understanding the program's social equity implications. The polycentric framework can be a useful tool for evaluating the social equity of policies.

Achieving Social Equity: From Problems to Solutions by Mary E. Guy and Sean A. McCandless

The recent publication of Achieving Social Equity: From Problems to Solutions, edited by Mary E. Guy and Sean A. McCandless (2020), sparks a move forward in the literature about social equity. To date, much of the literature on social equity has focused on its overall importance (see Frederickson, 2010), as well as the conditions of inequality within the discipline (see Bodkin & Fleming, 2019; Thomas, 2019) and within practice (see Blessett et al., 2019). Despite the attention that has been given to social equity, the National Academy of Public Administration recently included the need to foster social equity as one of the grand challenges for public administration (Gerton & Mitchell, 2019), suggesting it may be time to move the research on social equity into a new era. Guy and McCandless do just that. Rather than discussing the presence of social equity issues with public organizations, the text seeks to advance our understanding by connecting the literature on social equity with the practicality of the situations that administrators face. This is accomplished over a masterfully curated set of 13 chapters, each which focuses on a unique, but vital perspective on social equity.

Theoretical principles and components of public policy

Theoretical principles and components of public policy

CONCEPT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN CONSTRUCTION AND DIRECTIONS OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE

The analysis of the main provisions of two concepts: "The concept of application of construction information modeling in the management of the life cycle cost of public facilities" (Project) was developed at the National Academy of Public Administration under the President of Ukraine (NASU) by a group of experts led by Professor V.S. Kuybida and “Concept of Implementation of BIM - Construction Information Modeling in Ukraine” (Project) of the EU International Technical Assistance “Assistance to the Organization of the Government of Ukraine in Improving the Management of the Infrastructure Project Cycle”. The developers of the first Concept identified the principles, but the implementation of these principles in Ukraine requires the improvement of the current system of relations in the investment-construction-operational process, changes the traditional mechanisms of the industry and construction management through innovation. The second Concept presents the results of a comprehensive study in general of the problems of implementation of information technology, without a deep study of the state of the construction industry of Ukraine. The analysis of the main provisions of the two concepts allowed to identify the principles that should be the basis for combining three life cycle models: design, construction, operation - from the first stage of design to the reconstruction or liquidation of the object, in order to use them to innovate and improve competitiveness of objects at all stages of a life cycle and influence on work of the construction enterprises in market conditions. The educational component of the Concept as a whole does not cause objections, but requires specification of a number of decisions at the level of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine, universities, specialties and departments. In general, the combination of the two concepts provides a lot of historical and methodological material for the educational process and can be the basis for the educational process of information technology. Simultaneously, the analysis of the two concepts requires attention to differences, conclusions and generalizations that contradict the real situation in the industry and require a single system of terms.

Specifics of adaptive learning in the field of public governance

Research shows that today the education and training of qualified specialists in the field of public administration requires a transition from traditional to new more innovative systems of education and training. Given the fact that in the practice of education and training of highly qualified specialists in the field of public administration is actively implemented adaptive education system, which is based on the use of modern innovative teaching methods. The purpose of the scientific article is aimed at presenting the specifics of adaptive learning in the field of public administration. The scientific article uses such research methods as the method of theoretical analysis, the method of observation, the method of abstraction, the method of system analysis, the method of comparison, the method of modeling and the method of generalization. It is established that the system of adaptive learning allows to determine the individual approach and individual features of training of future specialists in the field of public administration. It is determined that in the process of adaptive learning modern Web-technologies and innovative teaching methods are actively used. It is proved that in the system of adaptive training of future specialists in the field of public administration new more innovative methods of learning, acquiring skills and abilities are used, as a result of which the confidence of future specialists to carry out professional activity increases. It was found that the main principles of adaptive training in public administration are: 1) the principle of personalization of the public administration needs, which is to train future professionals - public officials; 2) the principle of forming personal learning strategies, based on the needs of public administration in future professionals; 3) the principle of improving the thinking and professional activity of future specialists in the field of public administration, based on psychological factors of influence; 4) the principle of forming an innovative model of adaptive education and training of specialists in the field of public administration.

Social Equity and Popular Culture: Gender and Gender Identity on TV

Social equity is an important element of public administration and policy, and theoretically is as important as economy, efficiency, and effectiveness by the National Academy of Public Administration. Social equity, which focuses on fair and just processes and policy outcomes, has largely related to race and gender, but its application to gender identity is coming to the fore as various states and localities adjust their policies related to identification. Advancing social equity requires difficult conversations as well as organizational and policy efforts. This article explores the role of social equity conversations—nervous conversations—and how they are portrayed on television. Two series of nervous conversations related to gender and gender identity, in Modern Family and Grey’s Anatomy, are analyzed via Gooden’s “Race Talk Strategies” framework. This analysis considers the effectiveness of these conversations as well as how portrayal of these conversations may influence social equity in the real world.

Digitization of public services: the experience of Dnipropetrovsk region

The results of research work performed with the participation of the authors in 2019 by the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Institute of Public Administration of the National Academy of Public Administration under the President of Ukraine are highlighted.Modern processes of public administration reform in Ukraine are taking place against the background of global digitalization and deep transformation of business processes of organizations in all spheres of activity. According to the experience of developed countries, digitalization in public administration leads to the transformation of government on the model of "service" state, which is based on changing the role of citizens and civil society in public administration, and the basic function of the state is to provide services.Today, the issue of digitalization of public services is one of the priorities of the Government and the President of Ukraine, who have set ambitious plans - in the next 5 years Ukraine should become one of the world leaders in the development of e-government and e-democracy. In the context of further development of the decentralization reform, the implementation of these tasks requires the introduction of advanced digitalization of public services at the local level, and the main role in this process is given to the Centers for Administrative Services (CNAP). The results of the study show that improving the quality and digitalization of services provided by CNAPs, as well as bringing the CNAP network closer to each consumer are now priority areas for reforming the system of administrative services in Ukraine.

Evaluation of digital development of administrative and territorial units of Dnipropetrovsk region

The article presents and analyzes the results of the May 2019 study of the digital developmentof districts, cities and territorial communities of Dnipropetrovsk region. It is through such researchthat we can identify critical territories, local digital development issues, and find ways to overcomethem. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, information development studies are conducted only at the nationallevel, bypassing the administrative-territorial units of regional subordination. Using the methodologyproposed at the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Institute of Public Administration of the National Academyof Public Administration, allows to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the use and development ofdigital technologies in these territories. The introduction of modern digital instruments into the practiceof regulating territorial development is conditioned by the priority of reforms of decentralization ofpower and public administration, the necessity of introducing new approaches, methods and meansof forming and implementing public policy and public administration in the conditions of theinformation society. The implementation of these tools should result in an efficient, transparent, openand flexible structure of local public administration, using the latest digital technologies aimed atsocial sustainable development and adequate response to internal and external challenges. The authorsdraw attention to the need to combine the efforts of different sectors of society within the frameworkof 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 lackof a clear understanding and approval of plans for the digitization of public life, the implementationof e-governance and e-democracy tools in a number of administrative and territorial units, as well asthe lack of necessary and sufficient information on available best practices and mechanisms for theirimplementation. Proposals are given for the tasks of the Regional Electronic Dnepropetrovsk 2020Informatization Program and suggestions for improving the methods of digital development researchat the local level.

Draft bill on public consultation in the context of the modernization of legal provision of communication between the society and the state

The problem of communication between society and the state by Ukrainian scientists in the field ofpublic administration has been studied in general. However, the draft bill on public consultations No. 7453of December 27, 2017 has not been specifically studied.The author analyzed in detail the text of the draft bill «On Public Consultations» No. 7453 of December27, 2017 and determined its place in the process of modernization of legal support for communicationbetween the public and the state. Special attention is given to different points of view on this draft bill. Thepaper notes that in the prospects for modernizing the legal support for communication between society andthe state are ambiguous. The author considers one of the reasons for the difficulty of considering this draftbill in parliament. A mention should be made this draft bill is one of the attempts to update the normativebase in the sphere of communication between society and the state.It the article gives a detailed analysis of the findings of the Main Scientific and Expert ManagementDepartment of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Institute of Legislation of the Verkhovna Rada ofUkraine, the National Academy of Public Administration under the President of Ukraine, the ResearchInstitute of State Construction and Local Self-Government of the National Academy of Law Sciences ofUkraine, the Bureau of Democratic Institutions of the OSCE, as well as the decision of the Verkhovna RadaCommittee on State Construction, Regional Policy and Local Self-Government. It should be stressed that there is no contradiction between the remarks on the bill and its support.Most experts and the author support the intention to establish common standards of public consultation inUkraine.

Searching for social equity among public administration mission statements

The main research question considered in this article is the relative prominence of social equity among public administration curricula via an examination of program mission. It has long been asserted that social equity is a key component of public administration education so much so that the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) made social equity a fourth pillar of public administration. The article points to a serious dilemma faced within the discipline, namely the unequal geographic distribution of social equity mission statements at the program level, while at the same time promoting it as essential to the discipline nationally. Based on an analysis of 184 public administration programs, this article advocates for a continued commitment and dedicated resources to promote social equity across smaller Masters of Public Administration programs.

COMPARISON OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF PUBLIC SERVANTS IN SERBIA AND SELECTED COUNTRIES

The paper presents the experiences of Serbia and selected European Union countries in the field of professional development of civil servants as one of the most important factors in the reform processes of professionalisation and depolitization of the public sector. The performed comparison showed that the professional development of public servants in the observed countries has certain similarities, but also differences.Similarities relate firstly to the already established general consent to the treatment of this area as an important development factor for each state, then in the organization of management of professional development, as well as the technology of that performance with the accompanying evaluations. It was noted that the professional development of civil servants in the Republic of Serbia is still not being given the necessary attention in higher education, while significant improvements have been made in terms of improving the form of professional development through training and seminars.As for the technology of the observed professional development, it is in Serbia in the stage of constitution, and the expectations are that the latest amendments to the laws will improve this area. The significance of this contribution should be achieved through the work of the National Academy of Public Administration, as newly established centralized institutions entrusted with all expert and related executive and other state administration tasks related to the preparation, organization, monitoring and evaluation of the program of professional development of employees in public administration.

COMPLETE ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE ACCORDING TO THE MULTI-DISCIPLINARY AND MULTI – SECTOR MANAGEMENT MODEL IN VIET NAM – IN CASE OF MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS OF VIET NAM

Previously, Vietnam applied the model of state organization which was same to model of socialist countries in Eastern Europe and each sector established a ministry or equivalent ministry to manage so government apparatus is quite cumbersome. In 1981, the Government of Vietnam in the 7th term has 27 ministries, 6 committees, Government Office and 27 Government department. From 8th term (1986 – 1991), Viet nam began to focus on researching and applying the multi-disciplinary and multi-sector management model for some ministries such as Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry; Ministry of Energy; Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs. On the basis of implementing the Law on Government Organization which was amended in 2001 (the Law on Government Organization was revised in 2015), The Government in the 11th term has merged a number of Government units into ministries to reduce organizations that are directly under the Government.However, when Government merged units into some ministries, the ministries received the status quo which were not arranged, reorganized the apparatus, re-arranged officials and settled regimes, policies. So far, Vietnam has not had a summary of lessons to evaluate the organization model. Therefore, this paper has done research on issues related to organizational structure of the Ministry according to multi - disciplinary and the multi – sector management model with objects are state management units and non-business units of the Home Affairs in order to meet the requirements in organizational reform of the Vietnam Government.The author's research uses Ministry of home affairs of Vietnam’s statistics. Besides, the paper use Sociological survey with officials working at departments, institutes, research institutes, training schools and units of Ministry of home affairs of Vietnam, using a questionnaire with 71 leaders and officials. These research data are the survey results of the group of Home office'project, chaired by the National Academy of Public Administration. And the author is the team leader who conducts a status at units of Home office.

THE PROBLEM OF FORMING RESILIENCE IN UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIAL PROTECTION OF ATO PARTICIPANTS

The article presents the key results of the research was conducted within the framework of the complex scientific project “Public Administration and Local Self-Government” of the National Academy of Public Administration under the President of Ukraine on the topic of research work “Formation of national resilience in Ukraine in the conditions of socio-economic turbulence”. It has been found that the content of the resilience definition, both for the individual and for the country as a whole, is the ability to counteract the effects of the external environment and quickly adapt to modern realities with minimal losses for the country itself. In view of this, the study drew attention to monitoring the implementation of the action plan for the implementation of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union and analyzed the socio-economic sphere, including the analysis of the index of prosperity of Ukraine in the dynamics for 2007-2018. The publication identifies major of issues that need particular attention from the state, including demographic, economic, political and social issues. It is emphasized that, given the state of socio-economic turbulence in Ukraine, social problems can be attributed to the emergence of completely new groups of people in need of social protection and, consequently, a considerable financial burden on the state and local budgets. At the same time, they are convinced that the social protection of ATO participants in the conditions of continuing fighting in eastern Ukraine is a strategic issue related to the national security sphere. In the context of the social protection of ATO participants particular problems have been identified in this area, in particular with state funding for social guarantees and benefits for ATO participants and their families, as well as with providing this category of persons with land plots of the appropriate size and characteristics stipulated by the legislation. The experience of forming national resilience on the example of Israel and the United States of America (USA) in the field of social protection of war veterans, servicemen and their families and the best cases for their application in Ukraine are considered.
