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.

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. K e y w o r d s : modeling, interaction, power, public, public administration, electronic media, expert, and analyst. 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”. shyian, a.a., azarova, a.a., Nіkіfоrоvа, l.o., tkachuk, l.M., and azarova, v.v. 20 ISSN 1815-2066. Nauka innov. 2020. 16 (6) 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 Modeling communication Between the Public and the authorities while implementing innovative Projects ISSN 1815-2066. Nauka innov. 2020. 16 (6) 21 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. fig. 1, b shows the case when the preferences of the median individual qm are smaller and shif ted to the left than the possible choice’s avera ge qs. 0 0.5 1 qs q a 0 0.5 1 qs q b qm 0 0.5 1 qs q c qm Fig. 1. the ratio between the average value of the possible choice and that of the choice of the median individual Modeling communication Between the Public and the authorities while implementing innovative Projects ISSN 1815-2066. Nauka innov. 2020. 16 (6) 23 it means that most individuals choose less va lue of the preferences than the average. fig. 1, b shows an inverse case. 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 in fig. 2. today in ukraine the channel for electronic com­ munication between the public and the aut ho ri­ ties is ineffective. the functional model of the ac­ tivity of this channel today during the implemen­ tation of the innovation project is shown in fig. 2. state and regional authorities propose to the public a certain innovation project (for example, for local budget expenditures). Electronic media inform the public about this project. unfortuna te­ ly, such process is realized practically without ana­ lytical support. in addition, often the employees innovative project the media formation of thoughts by the public Realization of innovative project state and regional authorities and administration Fig. 2.

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 Fig. 3. the scheme for optimizing the communication of aut horities and the public by means of e­democracy during the implementation of the innovation project Project proposal agreed project Project execution the result of project Public opinion analysts and experts Evaluation of the project result state and regional authorities Media Modeling communication Between the Public and the authorities while implementing innovative Projects ISSN 1815-2066. Nauka innov. 2020. 16 (6) 25 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 shyian, a.a., azarova, a.a., Nіkіfоrоvа, l.o., tkachuk, l.M., and azarova, v.v. 26 ISSN 1815-2066. Nauka innov. 2020. 16 (6) 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.

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.
