Internal Migration and Digital Transformation: New Challenges in Public Administration in Ukraine

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between internal population migration and the processes of digital transformation in public administration in Ukraine, within the context of socioeconomic changes caused by the ongoing war and global digitalization. The work is intended to identify management factors that determine the efficiency of the adaptation of internally displaced persons in the digital environment and to develop new approaches to public administration, as well as to assess the impact of digital technologies on social stability, economic activity, and community territorial cohesion. The methodological framework is based on system, institutional, and socioeconomic approaches, as well as methods of comparative analysis, statistical generalization, and the conception of digital mobility. The study relies on official data from the State Statistics Service, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, and the International Organization for Migration, as well as on contemporary theoretical research in public administration, digital economy, and social geography. The main findings include identifying key trends in the scale of internal migration and the role of digital tools in facilitating mobility and the integration of internally displaced persons. The conception of digital mobility is proposed as a new governance resource of the State, combining territorial and informational adaptation of citizens. The practical significance lies in the possibility of using these results to develop integrated national and regional policies in the fields of digitalization, social protection, and regional development, as well as to enhance the efficiency of e-governance at the local level. The social impact of the study includes enhancing digital inclusion, population mobility, and community adaptability. Its originality lies in combining migration and digital processes within a single analytical model for mobility management. Further research should focus on developing indicators to assess the «digital readiness» of regions for managing internal migration, creating efficient mechanisms for interregional digital interaction, and identifying new approaches to integrating technologies into social programs.
