Smart Cities: Development of a Model for Managing the State of the Social Environment

In the context of the transition to a new type of economy, the digital economy, the question of systemic management of the entire environment is becoming increasingly relevant. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused all decision-making entities to switch to digital communication, resulting in the formation of a ubiquitous digital ecosystem. The social environment is the most significant in this case, but the models of social environment management currently in place are ineffective in the context of digital transformation. In this study, the authors set out to develop an effective model for managing the state of the social environment of the smart cities. To achieve this goal, they developed a model of interaction between indicative indicators of the basic components of the social environment of the city, which was transformed into a program-targeted graph model for managing the state of the social environment of the region. The findings of this study have significant implications for representatives of state and municipal management, as well as researchers in the field of social development. By using the program-targeted graph model for managing the state of the social environment of the cities, they can effectively manage the social environment in the context of digital transformation. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into the development of an effective model for managing the state of the social environment of the cities in the context of digital transformation. The findings of this study can inform the practical activities of decision-making entities and researchers in the field of social development.
