Електронна демократія та е-уряд стають все більш поширеними в житті суспільства — дають можливість залучити широкі маси населення до обговорення економічних, соціальних, управлінських рішень, що вимагає невідкладних інновацій в організації державного та регіонального управління. Проблематика. Необхідним фактором для успішного розвитку суспільства чи регіону є наявність інклюзивних політичних та економічних інституцій. Перші залучають якомога ширше населення до участі у прийнятті рішень, визначають успішний розвиток суспільства. Інноваційні проєкти є рушієм економічного розвитку, тому залучення громадськості до їх обговорення, затвердження, впровадження та аналізу результатів є надзвичайно важливим фактором. Низка дослідників підкреслюють, що оцифрування інформації є важливим для формування та розвитку сучасного суспільства. Мета. Розроблення підходів до моделювання каналів комунікації громадськості та влади в умовах реалізації інноваційних проєктів у контексті е-демократії та державного управління. Матеріали та методи. Використано методи системного аналізу, теорії ігор, структурного, функціонального та логічного аналізу. Результати. Інноваційні проєкти підтримуються переважно середнім класом, про що свідчить модель Хотелінга (модель медіанного виборця). Аналіз наявної в Україні функціональної моделі комунікації громадськості та влади під час впровадження інноваційного проєкту виявив низку її недоліків, для усунення яких запропоновано схему оптимізації спілкування влади та громадськості шляхом електронної демократії під час реалізації інноваційного проєкту. Обґрунтовано необхідність залучення ЗМІ, експертів та аналітиків на кожен етап його реалізації. Висновки. Розроблений канал зв’язку охоплює електронні ЗМІ та спільноту експертів і аналітиків як обов’язкову компоненту. Це дозволяє створити ефективну систему зворотнього зв’язку між владою та громадськістю для прийняття оптимальних рішень та контролю соціально-економічного розвитку суспільства. 2020 Article Modeling Communication Between the Public and the Authorities while Implementing Innovative Projects in the Context of E-Democracy and Public Administration / A.A.

Introduction. Edemocracy and egovernment become an increasingly common attribute of people's lives, since
they give is an opportunity to attract population masses to the discussion of both economic and social, as well as
managerial innovations. The society urgently requires innovation in the organization of public and regional
administration.
Problem Statement. Adjemoglu and Robinson have shown that the necessary factor for the success of public
or region development is the presence of inclusive political and economic institutions. Inclusive institutions involve
the widest possible population in decisionmaking. Moreover, namely the political institutions (which are crucial
for involving as much as possible the public to making decision) determine successful development of society.
Innovative projects are the driver of economic development, so the involvement of the general public in their
discussion, decisionmaking, implementation and analysis of the results is an extremely important factor. Many
authors have emphasized that the digitalization of information is an important factor for the formation and
development of a developed society.
Purpose. The purpose of this research is to develop approaches to modeling the communication channels of the
public and authorities under the conditions of innovation project implementing in the context of edemocracy and
public administration.
Materials and Methods. The research uses the methods of system analysis, game theory, structural, func
tional, and logical analysis.
Results. Innovative projects are supported primarily by the middle class, as evidenced by the Hotelling model
(the median voter model). The analysis of existing in Ukraine functional model of communication between the
public and the authorities while implementing innovation projects has revealed a number of its shortcomings. To

Conclusions. The described communication channel includes electronic media and the community of experts
and analysts as compulsory components. It enables the creation an effective system of feedbacks between
the authorities and the public which allows making optimal decisions and monitoring the socioeconomic deve
lop ment of society.

the feedback from the public to the government
institutions of the state, region or community is a
decisive factor in ensuring the effectiveness of
these institutions’ activities. the absence or even
the difficulty or delay in the transmission of in
formation from the public to the institutions of
governance and from the institutes of governan
ce to society necessarily leads to negative conse
quences. in particular, very because of this, citi
zens are forced to go on strike because they only
such way they can pass on their opinion to the
leadership of the state or region.
during the innovative projects implementa
tion edemocracy tools provide a large number
of new channels for feedback from the public to
the authorities. they also allow the justification
of decisions from the authorities to the public.
this new factor for ukraine requires significant
communication between the authorities and the
public.
thus, the study of the peculiarities of commu
nication between the public and government in
the process of innovative projects implementa
tion under the conditions of electronic demo c ra
cy is an actual scientific and important practical
problem.
Analysis of recent research and publications.
as it has been shown in [1, 2] the necessary factor
for the success of the public or region develop
ment, especially in the context of innovative pro
jects implementation, is the presence of inclusive
political and economic institutions.
inclusive institutions [2] involve population
masses in decisionmaking. Electronic democra
cy (edemocracy) is a powerful tool for the effec
tive functioning of such institutions.
in the strategy for the development of the in
formation society in ukraine [3], edemocracy is
defined as “a form of social relations in which
citizens and organizations are involved in state
building and public administration, as well as in
local selfgovernment through the wide use of in
formation and communication technologies”.
it is emphasized in [4, 5], that in the general
sense edemocracy implies involving the public
in solving various sociopolitical tasks with the
help of modern information technologies.
today, ukraine is in a state of hybrid war, when
the informational and psychological influence from
the outside sometimes affects the lives of citizens
both at the state level and at the regional level [6].
as a result, electronic media become almost the
only source of information for the population. to
day, all mass media actively operate in electronic
form, therefore, in our research the term “mass
media” will be applied to their electronic form.
social networks are not yet controllable; besides,
in emergency situations they usually carry out
destructive influence, causing panic, violence and
fatalism. so it does not help in emergency resolu
tion. the psychological reasons of this are descri
bed in [7], and consolidated effects (mostly de
structive) are called in [8] “crowd effects”.
R. Bauer [9] in her blog analyses lections of
Mi chael Woolcock, lead social development
specialist at the World Bank and lecturer in pub
lic policy at the harvard kennedy school, dis
cusses critical ideas within the field of social de
velopment. she emphasizes that the lecturer fo
cuses on the fact that social development requires
strong institutions that are aimed at strengthe
ning the individual ability of people to function
and perform tasks in a modern changing world.
R. Bauer emphasizes [9], “this is why Michael
Woolcock emphasizes that development could
be more effective if it focused on building the ca
pability of systems, not just the capacity of in
dividuals”.

in the other blog R. Bauer says [10], “there are
parallel and equally unsettling trends occurring
worldwide: trust in media is falling as people are
increasingly unable to discern credible informa
tion while trust in national governments world
wide (although with more pronounced distrust
in developed countries) is also deteriorating.”
author emphasizes, “governments are now strug
gling to keep pace with how modern voters ga
t her information and form their opinions. since
go vernments rely on the consent and trust of the
people for their legitimacy and authority, falling
levels of trust in government is a key issue facing
government communicators.” so, there is an im
portant problem of communication between go
vernment and society. for ukraine whose econo
my requires innovative development this prob
lem is exacerbated many times.
W. Eggers’s book [11] is an example of a rapid
ly expanding literature that explores the ever
growing changes that the digital world is brin ging
to society. he draws close attention to the fact
that electronic communication means require a
fun damental change in state and regional gover
nance. it also requires the involvement of an in
creasing number of people in decisionmaking pro
cesses at the state and region level. the author
states, “delivering on digital explores how a new
generation of digital innovators are using tools
such as cloud computing, mobile devices, and ana
lytics to reform and modernize longstanding pro
cesses within government. it showcases dozens of
case studies of governments from Estonia to san
francisco that have successfully increased citizen
engagement and expanded their capabilities and
efficiencies with digital technologies. We now ha
ve the digital tools and the talent to stage a real
transformation in government. a digital mindset
is a different way of thinking about customers, pro
ducts, and process. it is faster, iterative, and adap
table. and if government adopts it, the changes
can be revolutionary.”
the book [11] pays attention to the fact that
government officials around the world are wor
king on similar systems for people to receive vari
ous benefits, for example, subsidies or vocational
training in employment centers. these new case ma
nagement systems are trying to identify real needs,
not just eligibility for benefits. they exempt emp
loyees from multipage paper applications for each
individual program. integrated systems of state
and regional management are based on informa
tion and web technologies. they can greatly simp
lify the process for residents to apply for a new
program or restore its right to an existing one. an
applicant who gains access to information via the
internet can transforms a state or regional go
vernment process to a single process. New digital
systems allow governments to more accurately
track whether government programs are working
and to better understand how these programs can
be improved. however, the problem of trust bet
ween the government and society again arises.
c. charbit and o. Romano [12] pay attention
to the implementation of contracts between the
administration and the public. the authors distin
guish three types of contracts: i) empowerment;
ii) delegation; and iii) policysharing contracts. the
authors note, “Evaluation should be carried out
in a consistent timeframe, taking into account
that regional development policies generate im
pacts over a long period of time. Enforcement pus
hes the parties to comply with their agreements,
through internal and external mechanisms. sta
ke holder expectations are a driver to make poli
cymakers more accountable and their behaviour
more transparent. But in order to do so, it is im
portant to set the conditions for the stakeholders
to operate their “control”, through availability of
information, consultation and other forms of en
gagement. informal enforcement mechanisms may
be requested and applied in those national cul
tures more oriented towards trust and mutual re
sponsibility. the choice of the appropriate enfor
cement and evaluation processes, depending on
the various objectives for which countries use
contracts across levels of government, is crucial
and merits further exploration.” in conclusion, the
authors propose coercive mechanisms for mo re ef
ficient execution of contracts between adminis

trations of all levels and by the population. thus,
the involvement of the population at all stages of
the consideration, adoption and implementation
of contracts, especially innovative cont racts, is an
important stage in the development of modern
society and management mechanisms.
in review oEcd (2017) [13] “fostering inno
vation in the Public sector” the main attention is
paid to the requirements for state and regional
government bodies that will contribute to the in
novative development of the state and society. in
particular, “today, governments are starting to
look at transforming systems to put individual
and social outcomes at the heart of policy app
roaches. to achieve this, governments must not on
ly be innovative; they must also create the right
conditions for innovation within and across sys
tems. this means being able to identify problems
and translate ideas into projects that can be pi
loted on a small scale and then implemented and
diffused to effect systemwide change. it also means
recognising the processes and structures that can
support and accelerate innovation.” the review
emphasizes the need to create structures and me
chanisms that maximally involve all sectors of so
ciety for discussion, decisionmaking, implemen
tation and the subsequent result of innovation.
at the same time attention is drawn to the urgent
need to create the conditions for this.
thus, the study of the peculiarities of commu
nicating the public with the authorities at differ
ent levels during the implementation of innova
tive projects in the conditions of electronic demo
cracy is an actual scientific problem and impor
tant in the practical realization of the task.
the purpose of the article is to develop app
roaches to modeling the communication channels
of the public and authorities under the conditions
of innovation project implementing in the con
text of edemocracy and public administration.
the modeling of making
deciSion By the puBlic
consider the construction of a mathematical mo
del for describing the peculiarities of making de
cision by the public in the process of it communi
cating with the state and regional authorities. to
do this, we modify the wellknown model of ho
teling [9], which allows aggregating of the indi
vidual preferences.
let’s describe the classical hoteling’s model on
the basis of [1, 14, 15] with modifying it for the
conditions of our task.
let’s consider the individual preferences of
people for their use when they make a common
choice by voting. to do this, we will use the well
known “utility function” [15, 16], which allows
analyzing of the various alternatives. the utility
feature helps a person to organize his thoughts,
choose the best of all solutions, comparing them
with each other. in other words, the utility func
tion can reveal the benefits of one solution com
pared to others.
let’s consider the case when the utility func
tion of an individual is convex upward and has
one maximum (has one peak). this means that
our individual chooses the only one opinion (de
cision) that is most appropriate for him from all
possible choices. Every other decision (opinion),
information and alternative the individual con
siders “less important” for himself. and the “fur
ther” this thought, this alternative lies on the
“peak”, so it is less important for him or the less
he trusts her.
Example 1. consider onedimensional set of pos
sible individual thoughts regarding the causes of
any political, economic or emergency situation.
this could be, for example, a set of opinions such
as “terrorists carrying out a terrorist act” due to
“lack of state control” to the point of view “this
happened on its own”. there are individuals who
are sincerely confident in the “conspiracy theo
ry”, while others are absolutely certain that “bad
ecology is to blame”. the more distant the opinion
of the media, the less trusting in it is a person who
holds a different opinion.
Mathematically, the “onestep” function of the
individual’s preferences can be defined in next
way. We denote q as the preference of this indi
vidual and Q as the set of possible preferences of
shyian, a.a., azarova, a.a., Nіkіfоrоvа, l.o., tkachuk, l.M., and azarova, v.v.
22 ISSN 1815-2066. Nauka innov. 2020. 16 (6)
all people. We consider this set to be “ordered”,
that is, there are operations “<” (“greater”), “=”
(“equal” or “equivalent”) and “>” (“less”) on the
Q set. this means that the individual is able to
compare the thoughts (results of the decisions
taken, the results of the choice made, etc.) among
themselves. denote by Vi(q) — the indirect uti
lity function for the ivoter. this function allows
the individual to determine which preference is
most appropriate to him. in general, for each of
N individuals there is a function of utility.
Each individual, for example a voter і, has its
own “perfect point” which is the value of a char
acteristic qi, that gives the maximum value to its
indirect utility function Vi(qi). in other words, it
is a point for the ivoter that for any value of an
other preference q there is a ratio Vi(qi) ≥ Vi(q)
for all q∈Q.
this is the definition for the “onestep” func
tion of the utility of the individual (“voter”),
which is also called the “onepeak” function of
preferences when individuals make their social
choice.
let’s introduce the concept of “median” indi
vidual. the median individual is called an indi
vidual M, for which the number of individuals
with individual preferences satisfying the rela
tionship qi<qm is the same as the number of voters
whose individual preferences satisfy the relation
ship qi>qm. in other words, the “median” individ
ual divides all people into “two half”. the first
half consists of individuals whose preferences are
less important for the median voter, and the other —
vice versa.
the wide application of the abovedescribed
approach to the description of social choice is
based on the median voter’s theorem (Mvt) [14].
the formulation of the theorem is given in [1, p. 94]
and a translation into ukrainian [15, p. 64].
The median voter’s theorem of Hoteling.
consider a set of possible choices for an individu
al Q⊂R, let q∈Q is the individual choice, and let
M is the median individual who chooses the ideal
point qm. if all individuals have the onepeak
functions of Q, then:
1) qm always wins any other alternative qʹ∈Q
if qʹ≠ qm at pair competition;
2) qm is always the winner in a direct voting
with an open list.
The modeling of communication between the
public and authorities during the innovative pro-
jects implementing. apply Mvt to mode ling of
communication between the public and autho
rities during the innovative projects implemen
ting in the context of edemocracy and public
administration.
Public opinion, that is, the aggregated set of hu
man preferences, is formed now by the media. cau
sed by development of edemocracy, the intensity
of this process will only grow. using Mvt proves
that the main contribution to public opinion is
ma de by the median individual. therefore, the
for mation of the median individual “necessary”
thought is an important component of the interac
tion of management structures and mass media
both at the national and regional levels.
it should be emphasized that the choice of me
dian individual qm does not match, as a rule, with
the mean qs of a possible choice for all individuals.
consider possible situations on fig. 1.
in fig. 1, a the value qs of the possible choice’s
average is equal to the value qm of the choice of
median individual. this situation occurs as a rule
in cases where the preferences of people are even
ly distributed over the whole range of possible
preferences.

Methods of using the model for communica-
tion of society and government. during commu
nication between state and regional authorities
and the public it is important to create such a pub
lic opinion that will help society in its effective
development, primarily by implementing inno
vative projects and will eliminate the unwanted
deviations (for example, the negative consequen
ces of emergencies). the most powerful channel
for this is the media.
it should be noted that the electronic commu
nication channel between the public and govern
ment provides a unique (now there is only one)
opportunity for ukraine to justify those decisions
which are making by state and regional authori
ties. Moreover, only the electronic communica
tion channel is capable to provide an effective
feed back from the public to the authorities at the
stages of discussing proposals and analyzing of
the consequences of proposed government ma
king decisions. from this position, such a method
of using electronic mass media becomes the most
important factor of edemocracy in ukraine.
the hoteling’s theorem Mvt is, in essence, the
main model that describes the mechanism of ma
king decision by society. it has led to the emer
gence of a concept of “middle class”. to be able to
reliably forecast the public making decisions we
need information on the preferences of those in
dividuals who are located near the “medical vo
ter”. and the more preferences of this society do
not differ much from the median voter’s preferen
ces, the more reliable will be the prediction of the
public decision making.
another limitation of using the hoteling’s theo
rem is that individuals must consciously make
their choices. that is, they should have full and ob
jective information about the consequences that
follow from it.
thus, forecasting the future development of the
society requires, in essence, the existence of two
conditions:
1) the presence of a large number of people be
longing to the “middle class”, the choice of which
does not differ from the choice of the median voter;
2) all “middle class” voters should have full and
objective information about the consequen ces of
the their decision.
Edemocracy and egovernment [4, 5] should
focus precisely on the implementation of these
two conditions. in particular, the condition of in
creasing the “middle class” belongs mainly to eco
nomic conditions. however, economic conditions
(more precisely, economic institutions) are the re
sult of the public choices. in this very sense we ha
ve should understand d. adjemoglu and j. Ro bin
son’s thesis that the political institutions (which
are crucial for involving as much as possible the
public to making decision) determine successful
development of society [2].
today in ukraine the channel for electronic
communication between the community and the
government is ineffective. the functional model of
the activity of this channel today during the imp
lementation of the innovation project is shown

of state and regional authorities become the “ex
perts” although they are not impartial. in addition,
electronic media often observe only the interests
of their owners. all this leads to the fact that in
formation that comes to the public is usually in
complete and distorted (biased). and even the
pre sence in ukraine of quite a large number of dif
ferent electronic media does not help citizens to
obtain objective information, because for this he
would have to carry out a serious analytical study
which demanding from the citizen considerable
professional skills and great resources of time.
in essence, the state and regional authorities ap
pear in the media only “as necessary”, like a result of
a request from the media it is shown by dot ted
lines in fig. 2. as a rule, they are not inte res ted in
the opinion of the public. in particular, socalled
“public discussions” are carried out on ly formally:
reactions and arguments from the aut ho rities to
such discussions are usually not announced.
let’s describe the model of channel operation
for optimal communication between the authori
ties and the public during implementing an inno
vation project, which meets the requirements of
edemocracy [4, 5]. according to [3—5], the main
subjects of communication are the power and the
public, and the main actors are the media (which
today are virtually all electronic) and public opi
nion (which reflects the information processes in
the society). today in ukraine there is not yet
another very important participant of the infor
mation process — experts and analysts.
activities of state and regional authorities are
carried on the basis of implementation of indi
vidual projects, which are limited by the given ti
me. Electronic democracy requires the public to
be involved in this activity at all stages of project
development and implementation. schematical
ly, the implementation of this is depicted in fig. 3.
an important role in communicating power and
community is played by electronic media. they
are the ones who inform the authorities about the
needs of the public. the role of experts and ana
lysts in ukraine is significantly underestimated
and it is ignored too often. Besides, unfortunately,
in ukraine lots of “analysts and experts” are un
able to complete their tasks.
in fact, a new innovative project begins from
the analysis of the public opinion by analytical
structures it allows allocating a certain task as an
urgent one. this task is the one which is most im
portant for the public in the current moment.
this is, in fact, the first stage of communication.
at the second stage, mass media are launching
public discussion of the problem.
at the third stage the government is involved
in communication, starting to develop an innova
tion project as a response to expressed, with help
of media, needs of the public. the proposition of
innovation project (in fact, version for further
public discussion) is presented to inform the ge
neral public.
the fourth stage is a broad discussion of the
ver sion of innovation, which is consistent with
the government (that is, the government propo
ses such problem’s solution that the public is sa
tisfied). this discussion is carried out not only

through the media, but also in social networks,
and so on. analysts and experts are involved in all
channels of communication both with the autho
rities and with the public. it should be noted that
the task of analysts also includes the interpreta
tion for various layers of the public agreed with
the authorities of the innovation project. Besides,
the government structures are not able them
selves, without the help of independent analysts
and experts, to organize effectively such commu
nication with different layers of the public.
in such discussion analysts and experts are an
interface between the authorities and the public.
the result of their work is the amendment and
clarification of an innovation project agreed with
the authorities.
at the fifth stage, the government adopts the
coordinated innovation project and submits it for
information to the public. it is very this project
will be executed.
the sixth stage is the actual implementation
of the innovation project. this stage is widely de
scribed with the media and is controlled by the
authorities. it is also thoroughly analyzed by in
dependent experts and analysts who with help of
media report their conclusions to the public. this
allows the authorities intime make the necessary
corrections during the project implementation.
Experts and analysts also have to take into ac
count the response of the public opinion to the
implementation of the innovation project.
the seventh stage is the implementation of an
innovation project. here, the authorities as wide
ly as possible through the media inform the pub
lic about the results.
however, the very results of the project are al
ready being analyzed at the eighth stage because
the results of almost every innovation project are
distributed in time. Besides, if at the beginning of
the innovation project and during its implemen
tation, the main focus of public attention is fo
cused on what will be achieved and achieved as a
result of implementation, then after implementa
tion it becomes important to take into account
the loosing opportunities resulting from the imp
lementation of this particular project. in other
words, the public begins to pay attention to other
innovative projects that could be implemented
instead.
the role of independent experts and analysts
at this stage is important. in fact, immediately af
ter the innovation project presentation, experts
and analysts and media should cowork both in the
direction of “mass media experts and analysts”, as
well as in the direction of “experts and analysts →
mass media”. to realize this, it necessary to use
materials specifically prepared by analysts and
ex perts. it is also very important at the stage of
project implementation to quickly bring to tele
vision, radio, electronic media experts and ana
lysts who use preprepared workpieces. in par
ticular, they should interest the media, for examp
le, with highquality infographics.
fig. 3 shows with dashed lines the interaction
between subjects which is carried out indirectly
and implicitly. for example, public opinion influ
ences the activity of the media implicitly, crea
ting ethical and aesthetic norms and rules of jour
nalist’s behavior or the rules of communication
and conditions of working in social networks.
Mass media implicitly affect to employees of sta
te and regional authorities, informing them about
the needs of the population and its reaction to
the actions of the administrative structures. Pub
lic opinion also affects to the power, for example,
through communicating with friends, comrades
and relatives.
Example 2. another interesting fact is that du
ring the interaction between the authorities and
the public other sources of influence on public
opinion can also be widely used. for example, mo
vies are very effective. in particular, information
about possible natural or technological catastro
phes, their prevention and liquidation of conse
quences is widely used in japan, south korea, the
united states and several other countries in the
form of movieactions, moviedisasters, etc. also,
effectively use the literature of the relevant genres.
thus, the application of the proposed channel
model for optimal communication between the

authorities and the public during the implemen
tation of innovative projects enables not only ef
fective transfer of information for analysis and
substantiation from the government to the pub
lic, but also the public effectively influence on the
decisions taken by the power. a main factor here
is a set of experts and analysts, as well as their
relationship with the community, communica
tion channels (like the electronic media) and au
t horities.
as a result of such a model, the median voter
(i.e. the social group in which the median voter is
located) gets all the information he needs to make
the best choice. the set of feedbacks between the
public and the authorities enables effective mana
gement of society socioeconomic development.
the problem of communicating the public and
government during implementing the innovation
project in the context of edemocracy and public
administration is proposed. the model of making
a common solution for aggregating the preferen
ces of individuals is adapted to the conditions of
the task. it allows proposing the functional model
for interaction between state and regional au
thorities and the public. the described communi
cation channel includes electronic media and the
community of experts and analysts as compulsory
components. it enables creation an effective sys
tem of feedbacks between the authorities and the
public which makes it possible to make optimal
decisions and to control the socioeconomic de
velopment of society.

Вступ. електронна демократія та еуряд стають все більш поширеними в житті суспільства — дають можливість за
лучити широкі маси населення до обговорення економічних, соціальних, управлінських рішень, що вимагає невід
кладних інновацій в організації державного та регіонального управління.
Проблематика. Необхідним фактором для успішного розвитку суспільства чи регіону є наявність інклюзивних
політичних та економічних інституцій. перші залучають якомога ширше населення до участі у прийнятті рішень,
визначають успішний розвиток суспільства. інноваційні проєкти є рушієм економічного розвитку, тому залучення
громадськості до їх обговорення, затвердження, впровадження та аналізу результатів є надзвичайно важливим фак
тором. Низка дослідників підкреслюють, що оцифрування інформації є важливим для формування та розвитку су
часного суспільства.
Мета. розроблення підходів до моделювання каналів комунікації громадськості та влади в умовах реалізації ін
новаційних проєктів у контексті едемократії та державного управління.
Матеріали та методи. використано методи системного аналізу, теорії ігор, структурного, функціонального та
логічного аналізу.
Результати. інноваційні проєкти підтримуються переважно середнім класом, про що свідчить модель Хотелінга
(модель медіанного виборця). аналіз наявної в Україні функціональної моделі комунікації громадськості та влади під
час впровадження інноваційного проєкту виявив низку її недоліків, для усунення яких запропоновано схему оптимі
зації спілкування влади та громадськості шляхом електронної демократії під час реалізації інноваційного проєкту.
обґрунтовано необхідність залучення зМі, експертів та аналітиків на кожен етап його реалізації.
Висновки. розроблений канал зв’язку охоплює електронні зМі та спільноту експертів і аналітиків як обов’язкову
компоненту. це дозволяє створити ефективну систему зворотнього зв’язку між владою та громадськістю для прий
няття оптимальних рішень та контролю соціальноекономічного розвитку суспільства.
Ключові слова: моделювання, взаємодія, влада, громадськість, державне управління, електронні зМі, експерт,
аналітик.
