Transformation of Public Resource Management Methods through Implementation of Digital Technological Solutions

Abstract

This article explores the digital transformation of public natural and social resource management systems in Russia and China. The aim of the study is to identify the structural features of the development of digital resource management systems. The methodological framework is based on a systems analysis of economic information, as well as cause-and-effect and comparative approaches. The paper examines the prospects for developing and promoting integrated digital platforms in the natural resource sector, including Roshydromet platform solutions. In the Russian Federation, priority is given to developing environmental and resource monitoring infrastructure. In the People’s Republic of China, a higher degree of data integration and centralization of management is noted. The main limitations to the development of digital management systems in the Russian Federation are identified. These include dependence on imported hardware and software, uneven infrastructure development, and a shortage of information security personnel. It is shown that the creation of unified digital platforms and digital integration are the main directions of China’s future development, despite regional heterogeneity. A comparative analysis of models for constructing digital public resource management systems is conducted, revealing their common and specific performance factors. The study’s findings confirm that successful digital transformation of public resource management requires broad coverage of computing and telecommunications infrastructure, the training of a sufficient number of qualified personnel, and technological independence. Creating a favourable environment for digital development in all regions is strategically important. This requires providing subsidies and tax incentives to organizations, thereby encouraging their participation in digital transformation.
